    How Do We Define Faith Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Aug 10, 2009
     | 6,849 views

    This message seeks to establish a definition of what our faith should look like.

    Most of us confidently believe that we have faith. The problem is that the faith we often display is quite different from what is defined here in Hebrews 11. We have been conditioned to believe that we must see in order to believe. We analyze and reanalyze in order to establish hard evidence to ...read more

    The truth is, that how we live, matters to God! Christians are to keep in step with the Spirit and to walk in obedience to God's revealed will - but what's our motivation for doing so? Is it Law or is it Love? And why does it matter?

    No Compromise! - 1 John 3:1-10 - July 28, 2013 Series: That We May Know – Life With Jesus - #9 We’re continuing in our series in the book of 1 John this morning so I’ll invite you to open your Bibles with me to 1 John, chapter 3, and we’ll begin reading in verse 1. ...read more

     | 2,460 views

    The Star and Stars of Christmas is a series of messages for Advent. Using the idea of a play on a stage. Each message will look at different characters in the Christmas story. The introduction takes a critical look at how many in our society are portrayed as celebrities—bigger than life.

    It is amazing how understanding a person and a historical event gives a different way of looking at history. I enjoy reality fiction, especially in movies. For example, “The Man Who Invented Christmas” appears to be a fantasy movie. It is reality fiction. The story tells how Charles Dickens ...read more

    Jesus does back-to-back miracles: the mass feeding and then walking on water. But He downplays both miracles. Why would He do that?

    WHAT JESUS WALKING ON WATER ACCOMPLISHED: Seeing this miracle strengthened the disciples’ faith in Jesus. - John 6:16-21. - Matthew 14:28-33. - The disciples have just seen Jesus multiply the loaves. It is an incredible miracle that they got to see happen up close. - That evening, Jesus sends ...read more
