    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,399 views

    Having joy is not dependent on circumstances but comes from God, is Jesus-specific, and something that we are called to practice.

    Introduction: A Joyless World As we continue listening to these songs for the road, we come to a song of joy. To begin I want to read a couple of quotes about joy. C.S. Lewis once said this: “We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition, when infinite joy is offered ...read more

    True happiness comes not from seeking our own happiness but from seeking the happiness of others.

    The Endless Pursuit of Happiness I don’t know how many of you have read the American Declaration of Independence, but it says this: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are ...read more

    We need acknowledge our sin for what it is and let this bring us before God, we need to realize that only God can forgive and restore, and that we do this right now--there is no need to wait, for God is waiting for us!

    Introduction There is a story about the late American President Calvin Coolidge going to church on a Sunday when his wife was unable to attend with him.

  • #12 -- Humility Series

    Contributed by Derek Melanson on Nov 17, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,710 views

    Jesus teaches us three things about humility: it starts at the bottom, it grows out of gratitude, and it is an act of faith.

    “Oh, it’s hard to be humble . . .!” Have you ever heard that little tune, “Oh, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re prefect in every way?” It’s a little tune I remember from growing up. And I read a couple of stories this week that sort of illustrate this song very well. The first was about Henry ...read more

     | 14,318 views

    Our God is a covenant-God, not a contract-God, and the covenant that He had made with us is based on His character and is embodied in an unconditional commitment. It is on the basis of His covenant with us, through the blood of Jesus Christ, that we as a

    Introduction: Making Vows Our passage, Psalm 132, is the longest of the Psalms of Ascent. While most of these 15 psalms are less than 10 verses long, and with some having as few as 3 verses, Psalm 132 has 18 verses. And on the surface it reads like the most complicated of the bunch. It’s the only ...read more

  • Storms

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,230 views

    Storms! We just do not know what to do with them. For some the presences of storms are indicators that something must have went wrong. How are we to look at storms – are they from the devil, or the cause and effect of disobedience? Or maybe there is a thi

    IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM TEXT: Mark 4:35-41 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. 36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship.

    Contributed by Tony Searles on Nov 24, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,527 views

    The message explores the idea of being the best and the greatest. However, in the Kingdom of God, that is defined in ways that this world cannot understand. In fact, that should not even be our goal...serving Christ with our all is the priority.

    Stand & Read - Luke 22:24-30 “And there arose also a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest. [25] And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called ’Benefactors.’ [26] "But not so with you, but let ...read more
