    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Jun 11, 2008
    based on 34 ratings
     | 16,256 views

    Let’s think about what is required to be strong in the Lord. It requires: 1- Taking a stand against the devil 2- Putting on the armor of God 3- Praying in the Spirit

    INTRO. - Be strong. Be strong in the Lord. We can choose to be strong in ourselves or we can choose to be strong in the Lord. TAKE YOUR CHOICE! Most people (or many) choose to be strong in themselves. They want to be in control and do their own thing. They pride themselves on being a ...read more

     | 14,509 views

    Micah’s symbol of the bald eagle, a sign of grief, applies to America. We are abandoning justice, kindness, and the humble walk with God. Our collapse is from within rather than from without. Yet God has sent a different kind of conqueror to redeem us.

    What we see is more powerful than what we hear. The visual always trumps the audible. I learned a long time ago that what people see is more powerful than what they hear. I learned it when I sat through an education professor’s hour-long lecture about why lecturing was the least effective way to ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,213 views

    Jesus sees people in a way that we do not. Often times our opinions of others are completely based on what we see on the outside. Jesus has this way of looking into a person’s heart and seeing what they can really do. Often we see Him using unusable pe

    August 5, 2007 John 4 The Living Water I want you to open up your bibles to John chapter 4. We are going to spend the next two weeks looking at this chapter.

     | 3,404 views

    A shepherd tells the story of the most remarkable night of his life.

    That was a night! I can remember it like it was yesterday. It was a cold night up on the hills, and a bit windy. Not really full on winter, but not a nice night to be sleeping under the stars. Even us Shepherds look forward to a nice warm bed you know, not that we get to sleep in one that ...read more

    Early believers were able to face opposition and tribulation because they focused upon their identity, following Jesus. What is our identity?

    Sometimes, we get suckered in by the idea that identity and relationship are not important. We buy into Shakespeare’s rhetorical question and answer from Act II, Scene II of Romeo and Juliet: What is in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. We ...read more
