    In this passage of Scripture, Jesus discusses the difference between PROFESSION and PRACTICE. The premise is this. Following Jesus is not determined by our profession, but by our practice. The true evidence of conversion and faith in Christ IS T

    A NAME IS NOT ENOUGH Luke 6: 43-49 I have to share with you something I find rather humourous. This week, Pam and I were at a Teacher’s Conference which was held at a very large church.

    Sermon 3 of 6 on the Acts 2:47 church - 24/7! We are called to be salt and light. I used several different Sermon Central sources for illustrations, ideas and comments.

    2:47 – 24/7 Transforming Community Transformers change things. That’s what they do. When my girls were growing up I wanted to buy them "Transformers" instead of dolls.

    We often make New Year’s resolutions that just "fine-tune" what we already are, but what if God wants to make us completely different, completely new?

    If you look up the word “resolution” in the dictionary, it says “1. A state or quality of being resolute, 2. Firm determination. 3. A course of action determined or decided on. And 4. Resolving to do something. Now, this is the time of year when many of us will make those famous New Year’s ...read more

    As we look at the first Beatitude this morning, I wonder if those listening to Jesus wished they had a dictionary with them because it must have seemed like He was speaking a different language.

    The Poverty of Self-Sufficiency I’ve received some wonderful green and gold gifts recently. This Packer headband keeps my ears warm, and this cap announces my allegiance for all to see.
