    Final sermon in the Advent Series focusing on the Shepherds and their role in the Christmas Event.

The petition in the prayer is primarily for protection. It accepts ...read more

    John’s Question

    Contributed by Dan Finch on Dec 25, 2010
     | 9,232 views

    Everybody wants to be a winner and be on the winning team. John the baptizer was afraid that he was mistaken about Jesus because he saw him headed toward a cross. We are still a lot like John. Following Jesus is often not about winning.

    It’s hard to be sure when you are in pain It’s easy to be confident when things are going well – when you are young, strong – LeBron James for instance, went on TV and had a whole show just to say that he was going to the Miami Heat. Look at me, look how confident I am. This is going to be great. ...read more

    What God says is what matters. Human life is very precious to God.

    There is ample evidence in the Bible that God views human life differently than He does any other life form.

    Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, believes it’s extremely important that you and I know who we are...in Christ. What we think about our identity—who we are-- can make all the difference in how live this life...in Christ and do Kingdom work.

    I think we have an identity crisis in America...and quite possibly around the world. So many young people gain their identity from the latest fashions, trends or from their friends. Many Christians today, also, have an identity crisis. Most of us perceive our identity more from our family, our ...read more
