    When we shrink God’s holiness we have no standard to live by

    How we have made God a shrinking reality DON’T BE AFRAID! Have you ever wondered which hurts the most? Saying something and wishing you hadn’t? or Saying nothing and wishing you had? I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say. Don’t be afraid to tell someone you love them. If ...read more

    There are some Christian character traits with which God desires for us to be clothed. Kindness, compassion, and thankfulness to name a few.

    Introduction: In our modern world we can often tell a person’s occupation by looking at them. You will not see a police officer directing traffic wearing a butcher’s apron. You will not see a park ranger wearing a pizza delivery uniform. You will not see a doctor wearing a welding mask. Just ...read more

    God by his grace has given believers the power to forgive others when they have offended us. How do we do that? Why do we bother?

    ?The Revolutionary Power of Forgiveness When the first missionaries came to Alberta, Canada, they were savagely opposed by a young chief of the Cree Indians named Maskepetoon.

    When Christ is all in all Paul says we will love differently, live differently and learn differently.

    INTRODUCTION You have probably heard the saying, “Clothes make the man.” I want to ask a question. If Christ were to decide to spend the day with you would you dress any different than normal?

    Often we want to make ourselves better but go about it the wrong way. Paul the Apostle gives us tips in how to put off the old nature and put on Christ’s character.

    In chapter 2, Paul focused on the error of elevating the mind above the knowledge of God, and focusing on taming the physical body as a way to righteousness. He chastises the use of external rules and regulations, especially those around following certain ritual days and abstaining from certain ...read more

    Many people are looking for the perfect church - yet they don’t have a clue where to find it. These three verses from Colossians give us a snapshot of the perfect church - and it might be the church your at.

    The Perfect Church Colossians 3:12-14 In my time in ministry, I have heard more than once the statement, “If you find the perfect church don’t join it because it will no longer be perfect.” I’m not sure, but I have a suspicion that something was being hinted at in that statement. What do you ...read more
