    Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Navigating the Ebb and Flow.” The expression “ebb and flow” is an idiom used to describe periods of highs and lows, and growth and decline, just like the rising and falling of the tides. It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more

    Too busy working in the church to be effective in your work for God.

    EFFECTIVE OR JUST BUSY A healthy walk with God is not one that just feeds or meets the needs of others. It also must be a walk or a relationship in which the believer seeks to be regularly fed himself through personal, private study, meditation and prayer. Without these things, we as ...read more
