    One son says he’ll do the work, and doesn’t. Another says he won’t do the work, and does. Which one best describes us? And is there a third option?

    Growing up, I was a huge fan of the University of Kentucky basketball. I still follow them closely, but nothing like when I was younger. I idolized their players, I knew all their stats, I watched their games on TV like it was a life or death struggle. My favorite player when I was in third grade ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 4,041 views

    God’s Word Leads to a Paradoxical Lifestyle 1) It separates us from the world 2) It sends us to the world

    I’ve always been fascinated with paradoxes. You know, seemingly contrary statements that are nevertheless true. For example the statement, “Standing is more tiring than walking.” is a paradox. Sarah and I were reminded of how true that statement is just a few weeks ago when we had to stand for ...read more

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 9, 2004
    based on 36 ratings
     | 6,412 views

    If a fully trained student is like his teacher, we need to seriously consider who we allow to hold that position in our life and in our children’s lives.

    In this part of Luke’s gospel we see how Jesus began to get into trouble with the religious leaders. Chapter 5 tells us how he touches a leper and later announces to a man that his sins are forgiven, then he demonstrates his authority to forgive by healing the man. He doesn’t fast like he’s ...read more

    Does excellence matter to God?

    Does excellence matter to God? Does God care about quality? Is He concerned with how well things are done? Does it make any difference to God whether: the instruments are in tune; the worship team has rehearsed the songs, etc.? Some would say, "no." All God cares about is our hearts.

    Christians are to live with the athority of God. However, most never use it so they loose it.

    Authority This morning we are considering the word authority. For young people it is a bad word….almost a “four letter” word..
