    This message is from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    Busyness and productivity are values that seem to be held high in our culture. In fact, these values are looked on quite favorably in the church. We often live as though busyness is next to Godliness. Dr. J. Grant Howard describes our culture this way, “Some people can’t say no. They ...read more

     | 5,548 views

    The purpose of the family of God is not to meet my personal needs, it's to meet our corporate needs. Thus, through the unity of the Church, my needs are part of the who body, but cannot override and work against any other member.

    “If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any fellowship with the Holy Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion…” Dearly beloved of the Lord, hear St. Paul’s entreaty: “If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any ...read more

    Storms of life come to all of us. They are unavoidable and unpreventable. In those times, faith is essential. The enemy would have us believe all hope is lost. God has promised we will make it through. We must choose whom we believe.

    I Believe God Acts 27: 20-25 Our text today deals with a difficult season in the life of Paul. He is on a journey, headed toward Rome to stand before his accusers in a court of law. Sensing the grave danger in proceeding at the present time, Paul urged those onboard with him to delay their travel ...read more

Here we read about the uncertainty of the Apostle Paul, his mind was filled with the deepest ...read more

     | 3,173 views

    The writer is about to begin his explanation of the heavenly priesthood of Christ, but he is not sure that his readers are ready for what he must teach. The problem is not that he is a dull teacher, but they are dull listeners! The word translated “dull” in Hebrews is also translated “slothful.”

    HoHum: Psychology Today once asked 52,000 Americans, “What does it take to make you happy?” Their answers varied, but the interesting thing is that most of them talked about favorable circumstances instead of issues of the heart. The popular idea of happiness involves having the right ...read more

    It is easy to love church family members in blue sky moments, but real love is demonstrated in the grey sky days.

    This morning I want to focus on Jesus’ command: “Love each other as I have loved you." Please note it is a command and not a suggestion. You of course know that I as a military person understand the difference between a command and a suggestion. At first glance this command looks easy ...read more

    Ponder the various responses of the people who came to know of the empty tomb and the resurrection of Jesus.

    Can this be real? That Jesus died and then came back to life? • What does it mean to us if He is dead? Does it really matter? The truth is, it matters. If Jesus claims to be God and comes from heaven, and He remains dead, then there is no hope for anyone. • Death ends everything. Death will be ...read more
