    Little lizards crawl around church building in Asia and no one seems to mind because everyone knows that they are harmless and they catch bugs that are harmful. Not a bad work ethic.

    We are looking at the book of Proverbs. Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own. Remember last week we met two women who live in the pages of the book of Proverbs: Lady Wisdom and Madame Folly. The final question is: who are you going to ...read more

    Many people want to see changes taking place in their lives. The usual prescription given today is, "Just try harder!" But that doesn’t produce true, genuine, lasting life-transformation. In James 4:6-10 James teaches how God changes a person.

    Scripture I once read a Peanuts comic strip where Lucy told Charlie Brown that she would hold the football for him to kick. But when he ran up to kick the ball, she pulled it away.

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,257 views

    God alone deserves the place of priority in our lives. And that means we can’t even put ourselves before Him. He has the place of priority. He comes first. This message talks about what it means to put God before ourselves.

    Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been going through our Canadian Idols series of messages. The first week we talked about what an idol is: it’s anything or anyone that takes the place of God in our lives. It’s whatever we place in that place of priority in our lives which pushes God aside. We ...read more

This week, we’re going to talk about how our worship can be expressed through obedience. Jesus said: John 14:21 (NLT) Those who obey my ...read more

    God gave us marriage as a picture of Christ’s love for His church. We faithfully show the world His love for us in the way we accurately display that picture in our marital submission.

    1. Marital submission is about a mutual position 2. Marital submission is about a marvelous preparation 3. Marital submission is about a mysterious picture EPHESIANS 5:22-33 On June 14, 2000, Southern Baptists created a firestorm of controversy. Leaders of our convention were all over the TV ...read more

    Without question many of our most painful chapters in life have to do with soured relationships. That’s why we’re considering this in our final message in our series "When Bad Things Happen to Good People."

    Introduction A 104 year-old woman was being interviewed by a Christian reporter. The reporter asked the woman if it was easier or more difficult to live the Christian life the older you get.
