    The Courage Of Joseph Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Nov 3, 2008
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,516 views

    Today, our Scripture tells of the third major party to the incarnation and his response to it. It is a story of courage that is told every Christmas season. But it is also a story we often miss because this hero of the story is usually in the background.

    The Courage of Joseph Matthew 1:18-25 

Every day for the first 10 months after Katrina, I would drive home on I-10 and there was an indelible image which would strike me. On a billboard just before I got off on my exit was the image of a female New Orleans police office submerged in ...read more

     | 8,262 views

    The way of the Kingdom of Jesus is one of trust in God, which frees us to be "merciful" and give to others, knowing that God is a God of justice and compassion, full of mercy and love.

    Blessed are the Merciful Apr 3, 2011 Matt 5:7 Intro: We are half-way through our Lenten journey through the Beatitudes, the opening words of Jesus’ opening sermon (“on the mount”) where Jesus describes Kingdom life. During our last Adult Education time a couple weeks ago, as we were discussing ...read more

    Many of us would like a personal ministry, but we don’t know where to begin. This passage suggests that our personal ministry begins as we share with others what God has shared with us.

    INTRO: In May 2008 Christian musician Steven Curtis Chapman's five year old daughter Maria was run over and killed on the family property. Her teen-aged brother did not see her playing in the driveway before she was struck. It was a tragedy of unspeakable sadness. I remember that my first thought ...read more

    What The World Needs Now Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 31, 2021
     | 4,032 views

    What the World Needs Now "is love, sweet, love." But what does that kind of love look like, especially in the context of the great sin? Jesus provides us with a powerful lesson about the kind of love we need to receive and offer to others.

    Most of us here are familiar with that hit song written by Burt Bacharach, “What the World Needs Now.” And of course, as bad as I am with notes, I’m even worse with lyrics, but in this case, I do remember the next few words—“Is love, sweet, love.” And admittedly, the song strikes a chord with ...read more

    From Whom All Blessings Flow Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,337 views

    A biblical foundation for giving and receiving. God is the source of all our wealth and good things; it follows that we are to share those good things in order to enjoy them more.

    FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW “Take what you can get…and don’t give anything back!” From what I remember of Pirates of the Caribbean, this was some sort of motto that Captain Jack and his first mate lived by. It wasn’t the pirate code per se but a rule of life. Unfortunately it sounds a lot like ...read more

    Jesus said, if you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing. Imagine living so close to Jesus that even your prayers become prophetic utterances because they are given in His name and will!
