    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Oct 10, 2012
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,552 views

    A recent family crisis taught me many things about how this verse applies to those of us who have coped with crisis and those of us who need to cope.

    The Comfort whereby I Am Comforted 2 Corinthians 1:3-6 It was a parking lot like any other, no unusual obstructions, no special problem places. There might have been a slight unevenness in the pavement, but that’s pretty normal, no real problem. The day before Dad had clambered some of the ...read more

    Jacob's night with a stone for a pillow teaches us that God uses loneliness and isolation to speak to us in ways that would otherwise be missed.

    I have a very special pillowcase that might tempt you to make fun of me. It is my “Where’s Waldo” pillowcase. Actually, it belonged to one of our children, but I use it as my pillowcase when I go camping in the wilderness. My wilderness gear consists of leftovers from around ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,073 views

    2 Corinthians 1:12-24. God's eternal 'yes and yes' states a truth which dispells the relativism and lies of the post-modern era, where each person claims the right to their truth. Christians are called to rebut this split world view with the true unity

    We just starting out on our sermon series through Paul’s second letter to the Christians at Corinth. This week we hear Paul as he engages a Christian community that is living out the fruits of a cultural context that was more of Greek philosophy than of God. I always wonder how it is we ...read more

    A group wanted Paul to justify and help them pick and choose who they felt had Proper and Improper motives when it came to Preaching the Word of God. Paul redirected their focus and rejoiced that Christ is Preached, focus not on the motive but the Word

    TITLE: CHRIST IS PREACHED SCRIPTURE: PHILIPPIANS 1:15-18 (Main thought from Pastor Darrin Hunt 2006 sermon central message which I have expanded upon) I recall reading a story a few years ago, about an event that transpired the year I graduated High School, matter of fact, in 1979 – Story ...read more

    Title: We Matter Text: Isaiah 43:1-7 Explain the parallelism in the lines of Hebrew Poetry… the first line makes an observation and the second line restates it in slightly different language.
