    Jesus contrasts the Teachers of the Law with the poor widow. In the former, we see people more interested in themselves than in God; hypocrites, pretending to be something they were not. In the latter, we see a lady who loved God authentically and completely.

    Check Your Motive Mark 12:38-44 In March 2009 Bernie Madoff pled guilty to running the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Bernie’s last name is appropriate, because he literally “made off” with billions of dollars belonging to his investors. A Ponzi scheme is pretty simple in concept: you convince ...read more

    The story of the Samaritan and his compassion is instructive for us to consider how we treat our neighbors.

    LOVE THY NEIGHBOR: Loving your neighbor is not difficult as long as you get to define “neighbor.” - Luke 10:29. - We often define “neighbor” as those we like and who like us back. People like us who we are comfortable around. - Further, we define “love” cheaply: liking a post, offering a ...read more

    Instead of New Year resolutions, consider making a New Years "Revolution". I offer Two to consider: 1: I will quit giving my money to the church. 2: I will make my feet more beautiful

    All Jazzed Up Well, it’s that time of the year again when all good men and women prepare to fool themselves into believing they can truly keep a New years Resolution for more than a week this year. Now we could go the conservative route and make a resolution to eat more and exercise less, which ...read more

    Now whether you are young or old, six or sixty, healthy and wealthy, or puny and poor, you can make the rest of your life the best of your life.

    Acts 2:1-4 (A great start) There is an old saying that, "You are never too old to learn." Sure enough, this is one lesson that you're never too old to learn: "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”(Psa. 90:12) Now, what that means is this: "Teach us ...read more

Now understand that while we have only been here for a year in this church building this church body has been in existence since six of us started meeting in our living room ...read more

  • Treasure In Heaven

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Dec 19, 2006
    based on 41 ratings
     | 13,780 views

    We need to place our treasure in heaven through giving to the poor and tithing to the church rather than fall into greed (excessive spending) and worry (excessive saving).

    [Clip from short film, Gone Nutty, from Ice Age. Scrat tries to store nuts for the Ice Age, and he stores one too many. 4:12] Jesus warned us about two dangers: greed (which includes materialism), and worry. Both of which lead to the same problem, storing up for ourselves treasure on earth, ...read more

  • The Meek Series

    based on 36 ratings
     | 11,996 views

    The meek are those who have gone through "brokenness" (Poor in Spirit), mourned their sinful condition (that which led to brokenness) and now they submit to Christ (meek).

    “The Meek” Matthew 5:5 “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” Review: The term “blessed” literally means “approved.” True Happiness comes when one receives God’s approval. The fundamental question that everyone who reads the Sermon on the Mount is faced with is, who’s approval ...read more

Have you ever noticed the way that every stadium is put together, no matter what the sport, the stands ...read more

  • Trialful Joy

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 8, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,243 views

    Trials and tests are no fun. James doesn’t tell us to consider it fun but to "consider it all joy." Trials and tests are gut wrenching and drawn out at times, but the one thing that we must know is that God is with us through the whole ordeal.

    Opening illustration: After William Carey was well established in his pioneer missionary work in India, his supporters in England sent a printer to assist him. Soon the two men were turning out portions of the Bible for distribution. Carey had spent many years learning the language so that he could ...read more

     | 1,290 views

    Maybe we have more Baal worshipers than we know

    "Idolatry is an economic issue. When we read about the Israelites worshiping the god Baal in 1 Kings 18, we tend to think of them developing a preference for wooden idol images. But the primary attraction to Baal wasn’t a pretty statue; it was an economic promise. For the nations around ...read more
