    What if there were a Wardrobe that could usher us into an Unseen World? What would we see and experience. The Bible is very clear that an Unseen World does exist.

    The Wardrobe: “Discover The Wonder” I must admit that there are times when I am convinced that we have made Christianity far more complicated than what it was ever intended to be. Luke the physician recorded many of Jesus’ profound statements, but none is more profound than the one found in Luke ...read more

    Of greater concern than the commercialization of Christmas is the trivialization of Christmas. This message seeks to rekindle the AWE that is a fundamental doorway into an authentic experience of God.

    DISCOVER THE WONDER INTRODUCTION Let’s have a little fun together... -I want each of you to think of a number between 1-9. -Now multiply that number by nine. -Add the digits of your answer together (if 35, 3 + 5 = 8). -Now subtract five. -Now if A=1, B=2, C=3 etc., what letter is represented by ...read more

    Eternal Life is largely ignored by Christians today, until they face death. Eternal life, though, is the life they live from the moment they receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Eternal life affects their lives today.

    Re-Discovering The Resurrection

    Emotions ran high for those who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. How those emotions changed and what changed them made the difference between faith and disbelief.

    For many of us, when I say the word "Easter" or "Resurrection Sunday" or even "Third Day" it brings things to mind. If you are a Christian you may think of the empty tomb, or of the angels and Jesus’ visit to the disciples. If you are not a Christian you might think of the Easter Bunny or "maybe I ...read more

    The church is filled with awesomely tremendous people - those who are willing to sacrifice, persevere, share, witness, love, and care - but a people who are mentally and spiritually fatigued in the midst of the desert.

    Discovering God’s Will

     | 8,058 views

    Knowing God’s will is sometimes difficult. People want God to tell them specifically what to do - where to work, where to live, whom to marry, etc. God rarely gives people information that direct and specific. God allows us to make choices regarding those

    Opening illustration: A young man facing the future and unsure of what the next year would bring, concluded, “Nobody knows what God’s will is.” Is he right? Does a lack of certainty about the future translate into not knowing God’s will? The concept of knowing God’s will is often limited to ...read more
