    The Stark Contrast Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 5, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,622 views

    The contrast between the old nature and the new couldn't be more stark as we finish up our study in Paul's letter to the Galatians. The question we all have to face is: where is our treasure, in this legalistic age, or in God's kingdom?

    Galatians is all about the contrast between the old nature and the new, legalism and Spirit-life. As we finish up the book today we’re going to see that contrast in stark relief so let’s look for it as we finish chapter 6. As we talked about the fruit of the Spirit in chapter 5, we saw ...read more

    Unity Of The Church - Sermon For Proper 16 - Year A

     | 6,130 views

    An challenging exploration of what it means to be the church here and now. This is a re-work of a much older sermon of mine, which feels as relevant now as it did years ago. The analogy was used from another source, although I cannot now remember where that source is.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Throughout the Gospels we see Jesus involved in situations where a number of profound questions are asked. Questions such as Pilate asking what is truth, or what is power, and today our Gospel leaves us with another when he asks his ...read more

    Jacob: Manipulating A Birthright Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 5, 2022
     | 4,561 views

    Normally the birthright goes to the firstborn son. That would be Jacob’s brother Esau. Now we will look at how Jacob manipulated the birthright for the blessing. By custom Esau was to inherit the blessings of Abraham and Isaac. This fellow Jacob stole Esau’s birthright and blessing.

    Jacob: Manipulating a birthright Genesis 25:19-34 I think many of us will be able to relate to Jacob. He had faults and failings that are very common weaknesses we have. It’s not that we do not relate to the weakness of his father Isaac and his grandfather Abraham, but Jacobs selfish and ...read more

    1 Peter 4:10 admonishes us to "use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." What is the greatest gift all believers have received? What gift does this poor, lost world need most?

    Using Your Gifts to Serve Others Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) ...read more

    Exploring the paradox of planning for tomorrow while living for today.

    Do you know what a paradox is? A paradox is defined as “a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.” Our faith as Christians is rife with paradoxes.

    Just as Psalm 9, begins with praise, Psalm 10, begins in despair. Psalm 9, the psalmist was confident of the sure coming of Divine justice; Psalm 10 injustice is rampart and God seems disinterested; however, the psalmist’s walking more by sight than by fa

    Choose Joy

     | 3,772 views

    There is a distinct difference between happiness and the joy that Christ offers in a loving and obedient relationship with Him.

    WHY DO SO MANY CHRISTIANS FAIL TO EXPERIENCE REAL JOY AND REAL PEACE? COULD IT BE THAT TOO MANY ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE “PASSING PLEASURES” OF THIS WORLD? MAYBE THEY HAVE LET THE WAYS OF LIFE DISTRACT THEM AWAY FROM FAITH AND GOD. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE CALLING THEMSELVES A “CHRISTIAN” ...read more

    The story of Jacob's deception in Genesis, the consequences of deceit, the complexity of human relationships, and God's unwavering faithfulness amidst our chaos.

    Good morning, Church family. We're diving deep into the book of Genesis today, focusing on a story that's as messy and tangled as a bowl of spaghetti. It's the story of Jacob's deception, a tale of deceit, broken relationships, and God's unshakeable faithfulness. As A.W. Tozer once said, "God never ...read more

    The importance of not being consumed by worldly desires and self-absorption, but instead focusing on the love of God and doing His will.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters. We're diving deep into the Word today with a passage from 1 John 2:15-17. You know, it's easy in our modern world to get sucked into a self-absorbed lifestyle where our focus is all about us, our wants, our needs, and our desires.
