    When God’s Promises Seem Too Good To Be Real Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 23, 2019
     | 2,969 views

    Mary's response to Gabriel's message is surprising. The message is unexpectedly encouraging, yet the Bible says she was deeply troubled. Are there times when God gives us good news but we don't treat it like good news?

    THE ANGEL'S MESSAGE: Gabriel’s message was unexpectedly encouraging yet troubling to Mary. - Luke 1:28-29. - The message and the response don’t immediately line up. Let’s start with the response: v. 29 tells us that Mary was greatly troubled. Given that response, you would presume that the ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 28, 2017
     | 7,260 views

    A look at the Christmas passage - specifically, the struggle of Mary and Joseph having the baby in Bethlehem far from home. A look at four ways God uses our struggles in our lives.

    Mary And Joseph’s Road Trip: “Why does God allow these struggles in my life?” - Luke 2:3-6. - The trip to Bethlehem under such difficult circumstances had to be a struggle. Did they have questions? I know I would have. “God, why are You allowing this?” “God, have You forgotten us?” “God, ...read more

    What Am I Supposed To Do With My Unanswered Questions?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 1, 2017
     | 6,004 views

    This message focuses on Luke 2:6-7 and the unanswered questions that Mary and Joseph must have had as they end up in with no decent place to stay when the baby comes. How could God be with them and she have to put the baby in a manger?

    SOME OF MARY AND JOSEPH'S QUESTIONS: “God, why have the birth so far from home?” “God, why didn’t You provide a place for us to stay?” “God, how can this be the place for the miracle child to be born?” - Luke 2:6-7. - I’m sure when the angel visited Mary and told her that she’d be carrying this ...read more

    God's Gifts Have Thorns

     | 8,703 views

    When we look at Mary and the birth of Jesus we see a struggle of being pregnant and no one believing her. Why did the angel only tell her? Wouldn't a family meeting with all the parties be more appropriate? We will see that God's gifts have thorns!

    God’s Gifts Have Thorns Matthew1:18-25 and Luke1:26-56 & 2:1-39 Today is Sunday, December 24, 2017. A day known around the world in many different languages as Christmas Eve. This is an exciting time of the year! There are those that love the holiday but hate what this day represents. There are ...read more

    Total Confusion Series

     | 1,096 views

    If you feel like you are out of place, don't worry. That first Easter morning no one "got it." So if you don't get it, if you doubt, if you feel like this whole thing is crazy, you are in the right place. We don't have all the answers, we are just looking for them.

    Back when I was growing up, there was a pattern almost everyone followed, or at least we appeared to. We woke on Sunday, got into dress clothes, went to Sunday school and worship, and topped it off with a hearty lunch. Then, to further date myself, we would tune our black and white tv on to one ...read more

    A Mother’s Day Message: "A Mother’s Journey”

    Living Waters Fellowship is inviting you to a special Mother’s Day celebration on Sunday, May 12th at 10 a.m. We’ll be looking at “A Mother’s Journey” from the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

    Mother’s Day Message: “A Mother’s Journey” As we begin our time together on this Mother’s Day, I remember years ago when I was preparing for a Mother’s Day message and Michaela said, “And what’s the problem, you already know what to say.” Now, it’s not so much what she said, but it was the tone ...read more

    Preparing For Easter-An Outline For 'i Am The Resurrection And The Life'

    Jesus had received a message that a friend, Lazarus, was sick. He died, but Jesus raised him from the dead. This proved Jesus was "the Resurrection and the Life"!

    Introduction: Jesus had raised at least two people from the dead before this event, apparently just a short time before He died on Calvary. Here He proved the reality of resurrection when He raised Lazarus from the dead. The Message Jesus Received (verses 1-16) --Jesus and the disciples weren’t ...read more

    The Christmas story is like a compilation CD of three great love songs: Joseph's to Mary; Mary's to God; and God's to us.

    Good morning. Please open your Bibles to Luke 24 How many of you know the name Isaac Watts?

    Fourth Sunday Of Advent, A--Four Advent Annunciations

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 8, 2022
     | 1,992 views

    To all the Marys everywhere; to all the Josephs everywhere; to all the Pauls everywhere; and to even all the Ahazes everywhere.

    There are four annunciations or announcements in our Gospel this Sunday. 1. To all the Marys everwhere— Mary’s Annunciation— reminds me of an advertising slogan for a shoe company that says, “No great story starts, “it was cold, so I stayed in.” In classical Greek and Roman mythology every ...read more

    What has God done in your life; what has God done for you? That’s worth considering every day, both the big miracles and the tiny ones.

    Visitation When we give our lives to our Lord Jesus Christ, everything changes, doesn’t it? Most of us, from childhood, are habituated to self-centered lives. Things are important to us if they do something for us, if we enjoy them, if they give us security, pleasure, excitement, money. People are ...read more
