    We are caregivers, God is the cure giver.

    Mark 2:1-12- And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house.

    Society at large and individuals in general despise the idea of facing a God who holds them accountable and whose wrath is incurred.

    Anything Except Facing My Accountability to God (Acts 14:1-20) 1. Sometimes there is no answer to conflict. It just is. 2. From Reader's Digest: "On his birthday, my husband was stuck driving our six rambunctious children around. As usual, they were yelling, punching, and annoying one another. ...read more

    Contributed by Mark Otero on Dec 21, 2010
     | 3,767 views

    A Christmas message. Most people have no problem getting up for Christmas but what about the day after? This message is based on Luke 2:20 from what I see as the shepherds return to "normal" after God has broken into their lives.

    "It's A Wonder-filled Life" Luke 2:20 "Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them." Intro: Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" is, by far, my all time favorite Christmas movie. George Bailey finds out that even ...read more

    It seems to me that Jesus is saying He didn’t come to patch things up for me. HE ISN’T INTO PATCHING UP MY OLD WAY OF LIFE. He wants to make EVERYTHING NEW! New birth in Christ is NOT JUST A RENOVATION OF THE OLD WAY OF LIFE!

    Part 4 - Matthew 9:15-17 - RENOVATE OR DEMOLISH AND START AGAIN! People in Airlie Beach in Australia are facing the task of a huge cleanup after a cyclone hit in the early hours of Sunday morning. Some are faced with the choice of renovate or start again.

    Luke focuses his Gospel on the theme of reversal in which Jesus is said to have turned the values of status upside down. In Jesus’ upside down world, the poor are lifted up, the oppressed are set free and Jesus, God’s son forgives sins.

    A New Day!! INTRO: It’s a new day. Not just any new day, it is the first day for a new year. Only a week ago we had Christmas. And today we will look at the relevance of this baby Jesus who as a man so radically changed the world. The reading today demonstrates this and is found in Luke ...read more
