But I want to bring out some things in that chapter for a very specific reason because of what the Lord expects of us. Let’s begin with verse one. (1) Now after the death of Moses the ...read more

Well, it's about finding true happiness and contentment in Jesus, not in the stuff we have or the things we do. So, let's dive in and see what the Bible has to say about this. It's about ...read more

    Biblical preaching always leads to DECISION, sometimes to DISTURBANCE, and, as is the case in America today, often to DIVISION. Good applications for not worshiping Man/Pope, etc. Powerpoint at website.

     | 4,242 views

    There must come a time of godly division when we accept or reject Jesus. John, in this part of his gospel, is pushing his readers to consider their belief about Jesus.

    You may remember this Sunday as the Sunday that Church was no longer safe. (Use video camera). Once in a while, for special occasions and things, we have video taped our worship time and there has been a camera on my face up here. What would happen if we took the focus off the front of the ...read more

    We must resolve today, as a church, as a people, as individual Christians, that we will boldly proclaim the gospel, regardless of the response, regardless of the division it brings - we will boldly proclaim it.

    Harmony and Fire I. TEXT: Luke 12:49-53 (NRSV) “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth?
