    We often measure our success by how closely we stick to a set of expectations - whether on the job, at home, or in our walk with the Lord. We do good, we feel good - we do bad, we feel bad. But measuring success is really much different in a relationship

    When you apply for a job you supply your resume—it’s that collection of information that tells why you are qualified for a particular position. Until not too long ago, a very important thing to have when going to a new area was a letter of recommendation. We still use them occasionally. ...read more

    Jesus came from the Upper Room where He and His disciples had just eaten the meal known as the Last Supper. They walk it many times, close to a mile away….across the Kidron valley up a hill to a place called Garden of Gethsemane or Mt of Olives. It was an

    The Night Before (devotion) A few years ago I was helping do a revival and heard a sermon from a friend of mine who read these verses. Luke 22:41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from ...read more

     | 20,186 views

    Getting to know the Lord up close and personal seems like it should just be a natural thing that evolves with time. I mean after all, if someone were going to take you to the most wonderful place ever known to mankind and you were going to spend eternity

    Jesus, Take The Wheel! 2nd Corn. 5:17 HCSB. 17. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. Christians go through through this experience, or at least they should, when they accept Jesus to be their personal Savior. The ...read more

    If we can only do one thing this year, what would that be? May I propose for us to strive to develop a close personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ using the 4-step process of FORGETTING (OR FORGIVING) THE PAST, FOCUSING ON THIS GOAL,

    “ONE THING I DO” (V.13) Philippians 3: 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.

     | 2,130 views

    Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now considered to be 'in Christ'. It's an interesting phrase used to refer followers of Jesus but what does it mean?

    IN CHRIST (part one) Last week my sermon was based on Jesus' words to the teacher of the law when he told him he was not far from the kingdom of God. Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now ...read more

    Any Old Bush Will Do

     | 605 views

    The bush God chose on Horeb was a worthless, fruitless bush that only stuck you with a thorn if you got close, yet God used it (by His holy presence) to deliver Israel and reveal His power to the world! If He can use that, He can use us!

    ANY OLD BUSH WILL DO Ex. 3:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. President Bush was going through an airport when he saw a man who looked like Moses. He asked him, "Are you Moses?" The man acted as if he didn't hear. 2. He asked him again, "Are you Moses?" The man refused to look ...read more

     | 2,539 views

    Spiritual self-awareness as a believer in Jesus means living in tune with God. It does not mean seeing others with eyes, listening to others with ears, and then responding with a judgmental attitude based on what we see and hear. None of us are as righteous as we think we are.

    WHICH ONE AM I? LUKE 18:9-14 #SpiritualPride INTRODUCTION I was reading and listening in the Gospel of Luke the other week and a parable of Jesus smacked me right in the heart. I am going to share the parable with you today and see if it smacks you as well. The passage comes right after a ...read more

    Finding hope in Jesus Christ through the compassion of others, along with a God who deals in multiplying our gifts.

    Jesus just hears that his cousin John the Baptist is dead and it seems the news hits him pretty hard and He wants to get away and be by himself. So he and his disciples get on a boat to go to a secluded place. Verse 14 tells us “When he went ashore he saw a large crowd and felt compassion for ...read more

    Self-Righteous Delusion

     | 4,331 views

    Do we constantly criticize others? Do we constantly compare ourselves to others to justify ourselves? Let’s learn that we are all in the same boat and that God alone justifies. Let’s discuss self-righteousness and self-justification in Luke 18:9-14.

    God is calling you to a new level of intimacy. If you dare to answer His call, the Lord will reveal a Fresh part of His Character to you. He will pull you so close that you will be breathing the rarefied air of Heaven. The place David Call “SECRET PLACE”.

    DISMANTLE YOUR GLORY The Burial of a man’s glory is the birth of God’s Glory: We have lost the art of adoring the Lord. Our worship gets so cluttered with endless strings of shallow and insincere words that we do most of the time to take up space or put in prayer time with passionless ...read more
