    It is high time that we return to the nature of the Narrow Way. It is high time we learn again the cost of Christianity. Let us look at the principles of the Narrow Way.

    The Narrow Way “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it (Matthew 7.13-14).” Introduction: According to ...read more

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 6, 2009

    Jesus’ parable of the dishonest but shrewd steward shows us that what people want is something real, not just nice thoughts; and that the use of God’s money is our finest responsibility.

    My brother-in-law has a unique ability, a very special talent. He has the ability to go into a men’s clothing store, size up all the merchandise available, and cane out with the very worst, the most atrocious looking stuff that money can buy. What is worse, he does that when he is shopping for me. ...read more

    Today I would like to take you to another event that took place during Jesus' time and connect it with a similar event that took place earlier in Jesus’ ministry on earth.

    Palm Sunday commemorates that day in Jesus life where Jesus enters Jerusalem on a colt. Mark chapter 11 says, “And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, ...read more

    Breaking Our Flask

     | 6,924 views

    Some people, like Judas, are ignoring God's call, as they are too busy making their life in this world secure. Like the woman who broke her alabaster flask, we must break our flesh so the good things of God can pour out of us.

    Henry Ward Beecher once said, “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”(1) Our passages of Scripture for this morning speak of sacrifice. One definition of sacrifice is “to offer to God in homage or worship,” and another one is “to destroy, surrender, or ...read more

    Worship Is More Than You Think Series

     | 2,111 views

    “How should I approach God in worship? How should I prepare? What should I come expecting?” The writer of Hebrews in Hebrews 10: 19-25 opens the curtain and helps us see how God sees worship. He shows us that worship is more than we think.

    Probably the most preparation I have ever made for one worship service was when Jan and I started a church in Northern Michigan in a small town called “Charlevoix.” I was fresh out of seminary, 25 years old and excited about launching the new church. Yet, if you ever have been part of a church ...read more

    Following Jesus means daily self-denial and cross-bearing, trusting His worth and grace, and surrendering our lives to His call in every circumstance.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us arrived with hurried hearts and heavy hands. Some of us smiled at the door and sighed in the seat. Wherever you are, come close. Hear the whisper of Jesus that cuts through the noise and the nagging: I see you. I love you. Walk with Me. He doesn’t wave us onward like a ...read more
