    based on 1 rating
     | 3,709 views

    self-control is about the Holy Spirit exposing the lies around us for what they really are, and thus setting us free to choose that which is right and best. To illustrate this sermon, I made chocolate covered strawberries for everyone!

    Chocolate Covered Strawberries: The Fruit of Self-Control Gal 5:13-26 October 24, 2004 Intro: “Try Harder!” How often do you hear that? How often do you feel that??

    Gentleness is power under control, like a tamed horse. Jesus described Himself as gentle and humble of heart, which is good news for us because life is hard.

    Power Under Control: The Fruit of Gentleness Matt. 11:28-30 October 31, 2004 Intro: I want you to think for a moment of someone you know who you would describe as gentle.

     | 5,051 views

    Instead of writing new words for the Christmas story, finding new bits of humor, finding a new “angle”, this sermon shares the old words. It is all Scripture and carol lyrics put together to tell the story.

    Love: Fruit of the Spirit & Advent #4 assorted December 19, 2004 Intro: As I sat down to prepare a message for today, the final Sunday of preparation for our celebration of the entry of God into human experience, I searched for stories that would remind us of the real meaning of Christmas.

    Jesus humbled Himself, stripped down, picked up the wash basin and the towel, and got His hands dirty. He served.

    Get Into The Game John 13:1-17 September 4, 2005 Intro: Over the past three weeks, we’ve been talking together about engagement.

  • Taken Care Of

    Contributed by Jake Kircher on May 14, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,592 views

    Jesus tells us not to worry. A little easier said, than done. Why does he say that and how on earth do we do it?

    ***Message time outside*** Tonight I wanted to switch things up a little bit and come outside to help us explore God’s Word. I want to start off by taking just a couple of minutes sitting in silence and just observing God’s creation around us. As we have talked about before, our lives are so ...read more

    We’ve got to learn how to keep our JOY even when it doesn’t seem like things are going our way. HOW CAN WE HAVE JOY?-----Even when things are going bad? --We have to KNOW some things.

    I want to share a little story I heard about a little boy. "I’m the greatest baseball player in the world. I can hit the ball better than anyone" he said proudly. Then he tossed the ball in the air, swung and missed. Undaunted, he picked up the ball, threw it into the air and said to ...read more

  • The Life That God Blesses Series

    Contributed by Jason Pettibone on May 14, 2007
     | 9,144 views

    I am talking about a life of true blessing, a life marked by prosperity more important than wealth or fame, and a life of eternal significance which God loves to give to those who will walk by faith.

    The Life God Blesses I am convinced of this - “God loves to bless His children!” What do I mean by that? Let me borrow words from Gordon MacDonald who writes – “God desires to pour out on people gracious and uncommon gifts: gifts might include personal affirmation, intimate relationship, ...read more

  • The Heart Of The One Whom God Prospers Series

    Contributed by Jason Pettibone on May 14, 2007
     | 3,903 views

    there is something more fundamental to becoming a person with a blessed life even than having a dream. It is something called, ‘heart!’ Obviously I’m not talking about the fist-sized knot of muscle in your chest that pumps the blood through your body!

    Last week, my intent was to convince you from the Scripture, of this fact - “God loves to bless His children!” We defined blessings, not so much in terms of the normal measures of worldly success - being wealth, fame, or beauty. These are certainly desirable, but God loves to bless us with things ...read more

    Observations of the kind of values that Jesus outlines in the Beatitudes. (Heavily in debt to Dallas Willard for seminal thoughts!)

    Last week, I talked about the need for a transformed heart, made alive by God’s Spirit. If our desire is to please God and enjoy His blessings, our heart must be renewed daily, and we must discipline our hearts so they are undivided! We need not be ‘miserable Christians’ frustrated by the gap ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,502 views

    Generosity is a key factor in a life that God blesses. It goes much deeper than our money!

    For three weeks, I have been speaking to you about God’s desire to bless your life! When I read the Bible about the experiences of people who lived close to God and with humble, obedient hearts, I find their lives to be deeply satisfying and lived with purpose. I’ve called this series, “Preparing ...read more

    Contributed by Jason Pettibone on May 14, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 10,042 views

    My message today is about a spiritual discipline that helps us to grasp Heaven’s values, that will help us to clarify our understanding of those things that are really just so much dog doo and those things that are like diamonds of Heaven. I want to talk

    Last month I started a series of sermons which is built around this assertion - “God loves to bless His children!” We defined blessings, not so much in terms of the normal measures of worldly success - being wealth, fame, or beauty. These are certainly desirable, but God loves to bless us with ...read more
