    People of good judgment seldom rely merely on their own insights - but the Pharisees nevertheless insisted.

    People of good judgment seldom rely merely on their own insights - but the Pharisees nevertheless insisted. Like the Pharisees during the times of Jesus, the reactionaries of today like to design harsh doctrinal codes that stress a strict avoidance of worldly customs.

    Wise people have a sense of what Jesus wants and have plans to achieve them. Wise people have a sense of their God-given destination and have made plans to arrive there.

    PLANNING: IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING, YOU’RE GOING TO END UP SOMEWHERE ELSE “To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue. All a man’s ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD. Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your ...read more

    Part two in a study of Bible Prophecy and the End times dealing with the signs of Jesus imminent return.

    Ever since Jesus Christ warned His followers that He would leave them to go to His Father’s house in heaven and promised that He would “come again and receive [them] to [Himself]” (John 14:1-3), Christians have asked the million dollar question: “When will you return, and what will the sign of your ...read more

    Don’t allow the oppositions of this world to interrupt your relationship with God.

    One thing that oftentimes stops the spiritual growth, and stops the walk of many believers is the opposition that we encounter in this world. This is especially true when we receive a calling from the Lord. But, what is an opposition? An opposition is everything that looks to distance us from ...read more

    But as noted… we often find ourselves in tensions between two feelings … the tension between a spirit of legalism and a spirit license.

    Walking in True Freedom Part 2 – Walking It Out Brad Bailey – July 15, 2007 One question I asked last week…Are you free to do anything you want (if within your means)?

    To Be Missional Is To Be On Mission By ‘bearing One's Cross'

     | 4,154 views

    Third and final sermon in the second part of an initial 2009 series, ‘2 Things 2 B in 09’

It also means that the meanings of words change and some are used as either as a verb or a noun. (Slide 1) For example, we when say ‘ADdress’ we mean a specific location ...read more

    If I had been Jesus, I would have shown the men on the road to Emmaus my scars and proved I had risen from the dead... but Jesus didn’t do that. Why?

    OPEN: For the past few weeks, I’ve been preaching on the topic of CSI-Jerusalem. We’re Crime Scene Investigators…or more specifically “Cross Scene Investigators”. The following story is true. And while it is somewhat morbid it serves to illustrate what I want to say this morning. Several years ago ...read more
