    Often we wait for the world to change, to get better, but God didn’t wait. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus he changed the world for us.

    (Play Song “Waiting on the World to Change” by John Mayer) Introduction: That song is currently quite popular, and while I like John Mayer’s music I must say that this is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard in my life. Musically it’s great but the lyrics offer no hope, no promise, no ...read more

     | 123,570 views

    In todays world of darkness, there is a need for light. Jesus is the light of the world. We need to light our world around us with His light.

    The Light in a World of Darkness John 8:12 October 27, 2002 Making decisions in the dark can lead to some regrettable consequences.

    THIS WEEK…Future heaven…particularly as foretold in the Book of Revelation. “Heaven” occurs more than fifty times in the Book of Revelation given to John. It is visionary in nature…and very similar to Ezekiel’s long before.

    A GLORIOUS NEW WORLD’ (what will the Future of Eternity Be :Like-Part I) Prayer God…here we gather…to let our earthly minds consider the glory of your heavens…how you must be smiling here with us…Worlds feel closed in…let the walls of time and temporary struggle fall down.

    The Hidden World Of Service

    Contributed by Michael Trask on Sep 25, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,425 views

    The contrast couldn’t be more stark. Jesus describes his ultimate act of service while the disciples argue over which of them will be the greatest! This sermon stealthily plunges the listener into this contrast; then pulls them out on the right side.

    My dear friends in Christ, I want to tell you about something that I didn’t really begin to figure out until I was about 24. Many of you figured it out long before you reached that age; some of you have not figured it out yet. But when someone finally does learn it, and it begins to sink ...read more

    We can learn from Paul the importance of relying upon Jesus. We can rely on Him to provide us the life testimony that He desires to be put in front of His people at the appropriate time and place.

    Title: The Law, The Christian, and the World… Scripture: Acts 24 I would like to use some scripture to use as a sort of prelude to Acts 24.
