    R.C. Sproul once said, “What we celebrate is not so much the birth of a baby, but the incarnation of God Himself.” (Critical concept to remember – not just a birthday celebration!) Today, it is my prayer that we would be focused on this truth and that we’d see this story in a fresh light!

    Introduction - “What is Advent?” -- The word Advent means "coming" or "arrival" -- The focus of this season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ -- His birth is his First Advent, his first coming, to a world in great need -- It also reflects on the ...read more

    It is our tendency to be satisfied with shallow answers to rather complex questions. We pop a pill instead of finding the root cause. But Jesus takes us deeper.

    Passage: Matthew 16:5-12 Intro: It is very common for us to be satisfied with shallow answers to deep questions. 1. got a headache, take an aspirin. 2. can’t sleep, take a pill. 3. this is especially true of God’s revelation to us. 4. because it is spiritual in nature, something ...read more

     | 5,838 views

    The foundation we build our life on is absolutely critical to what kinds of followers of Christ we will be, or maybe whether we’re His followers at all. It takes two key things: 1. hearing the Word of God 2. responding in obedience to God’s Word

     | 179 views

    Here's another opportunity to put yourself in another’s position, and it is critical. You have been following Jesus, for several days or months or years. He is going to Jerusalem with this vast mob following Him, including you. He stops. He turns around.

    Twenty-third Sunday in Course 2025 Let’s suppose you have what you think is a good idea, but you wonder whether other people will agree with you. If your primary concern is to avoid public scorn or controversy or losing a valuable part of your business, you are in need of prudence. You are asking ...read more

    Prayer Mode. Opportunities.

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jul 18, 2021
     | 1,978 views

    Living in prayer mode is the difference between seeing coincidences and providences. Prayer has a way of helping us recognize that what we might dismiss as human accidents are really divine appointments.

    Prayer Mode. Opportunities. Jeremiah 46:17. Living in a prayer mode means your spiritual antenna is up and your radar is on. In fact the Aramaic word for prayer is slotha, means to set a trap. Prayer helps us catch the opportunities God throws our way. My trap is loaded, is yours? Living in ...read more

    The question then becomes what if I don’t quite measure up to the Proverbs 31 woman? Is there any hope for me? Can God use me? Let’s not just talk about the women because we all have times and circumstances in our lives when we ask these same questions? Is there any hope for me? .
