    Trying to re-capture the wonder of our first love of Christ and to understand his indescribable love for us.

    Have you ever been speechless? Have you ever been so overcome with emotion that words failed you? I can think of times in my life when I have been hard pressed to put words to my emotions and those times are more than memorable. Sometimes those moments that defy description are moments of ...read more

    Sum Of All Fears

    Contributed by Carla Powell on Jul 20, 2002
    based on 57 ratings
     | 6,402 views

    Looks at fear and why we shouldn’t be afraid. Tom Clancy’s movie is used as the title, and little else.

    Just a few weeks ago, the movie "The Sum of All Fears" was released. This movie plays on the fear of international hostility, and allows our favorite Tom Clancy character Jack Ryan to save the day once again. The movie title though, seems to hit on a very timely topic these days: fear. Even though ...read more

    Why Baptism

    Contributed by John Murphy on Mar 24, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,226 views

    We are saved by grace through faith, but what does that faith entail?

    Before the Lord left this earth, He left us, His church, two rites, ordinances or sacraments. Both The Lords Supper and Baptism were meant to be a comfort and something to bring His body closer to one another. In fact the two have caused more division among God’s people than any other ...read more

    God’s peace and the World’s peace is not the same

    MY PEACE I GIVE TO YOU Reading: John 14:23-31 We live in a world that promises so much, yet in reality, all too often fails to come up with the goods. When electricity was first becoming nationally available there was the promise of it being "free", when nuclear power stations were first being ...read more

    Many Christians fight just to fight but they are not fighting to win.

    TOPIC: FIGHT TO WIN Text: I Samuel 17:50 “So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.” Introduction: How did David won over Goliath?

    Demands Of Discipleship

    Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Feb 17, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,349 views

    Are we just followers, or true disciples, of Jesus? There is a difference! If we are a true disciple, then we have rewards in heaven. If we are just followers, we may not. Let us learn about the demands of discipleship.

    It is possible to be a follower of Jesus without being a disciple; to be a camp follower without being a soldier of the king; to be a hanger-on in some great work without pulling one’s weight. Someone was talking to a great scholar about a younger man. He said, “So and so tells me that he was ...read more

    Nicodemus, Saul, and Dr. Law - each are encountered by Grace. More preaching notes than full text.

    BEING ENCOUNTERED BY AMAZING GRACE JOHN 3. 1 - 4 Many years ago, John Newton penned the words, Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me.

    Discover your dream and live it.

    When I think of all the stories of the Bible this has to be at the top of one of the coolest. Imagine chasing a lion into a pit - that sounds pretty crazy but then Benaiah goes way off the deep end and jumps into the pit with this lion he rips this lion to shreds and kills it!
