     | 3,329 views

    Think about the question, is there a right way to apporach Jesus? For many, the answer is yes and we all have a different opinion. If that is the case, who is right and which does Jesus prefer?

    Most of us have blind spots, presumptions, ideas and perceptions that we don’t even think about changing. These blind spots are major roadblocks in our spiritual journey.

    Many Christians who experience great trials in life often think that there is no hope. Here are 3 reasons why there is hope even in the midst of the most hurting trial that we experience.

    INTRODUCTION: Life on earth is a test. Sounds familiar? Yes, this is a statement from Rick Warren¡¦s The Purpose Driven Life. ¡§You are always being tested.

    The Weak Strong Man 10

    Contributed by Melvin Shelton on Jul 20, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,843 views

    It is odd when you get to thinking about the Philistines and Samson. They knew his weakness but did not know what gave him great strength. His weakness of course was women.

    The weak strong man 10. Judges 16:4-21. 07/20/05 These last two studies in the life of Samson are dark scenes and a great warning of the danger in walking after the lust of the flesh. Samson’s disregard of the call of God in his life has led him down the street of dead end and no turning back. ...read more

    Rugged Individualism? Rugged Surrender!

    Contributed by Larry Brincefield on Mar 10, 2004
    based on 36 ratings
     | 2,954 views

    "Rugged Individualism" is thinking that we need to rely on ourselves. But this can lead to trouble, as the Israelites (and the Corinthians, and people today) indicate. Instead, we should pursue "rugged surrender".

    March 10, 2004 Title: Rugged Individualism? Rugged Surrender! Text: 1Co_10:1-13 Introduction 1. One of my favorite radio personalities preaches a doctrine of "rugged individualism"... if we work hard...anything is possible we are responsible for our own actions... we take care of ...read more

     | 14,073 views

    When it comes to being disciples we can fall into the trap of thinking that we have to be an upfront person otherwise we cannot be effective witnesses. The example of Andrew demonstrates that such is not the case.

    Message John 1:35-42 Andrew - Always on the Lookout Message Have you noticed that there are many “lists” available for living successfully in this world? • Here are the 12 steps for those who are struggling with debt. • Recently I was emailed a list of “36 habits to reduce stress”. • Then there ...read more

    What character of the Bible best describes you? Do you start out well only to finish poorly and offer God every excuse you can think of?

    Barzillai – 27th April 2008 am 2 Samuel 19:32 Background – David running from Absalom Bar-zil-lah-ee The Holy Spirit says something of Barzillai that He says of very few people. He says that he was “a very great man.” The Bible does not hand out this kind of praise openhandedly. It marks ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,563 views

    Think about how we would describe Jesus, based on what we know. All we have are snapshots of His life, not a full biography. Who is Jesus Christ?

    One day a little girl was drawing a picture, and even skipped recess because she was so focused upon it. Her teacher asked what she was doing and she said she was drawing a picture of God. “Oh honey, you can’t do that...no one knows what God looks like.” She held up the picture ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,908 views

    We feel stuck in responsibilities, trying to maintain something just because we’ve inherited it, and are tempted to think of leadership as image. In a relationship to Christ, responsibility is transformed into freedom.

    He was tired to the bone, but rose to go trim the wicks and boost the light again. How many times had he been to these lamps tonight? How many times had he wanted just to give it up and go to bed? How many times had he hoped that some magic answer would swoop in his open window and land on his ...read more
