    Contributed by Martin Wiles on Aug 30, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,062 views

    There are many sources that we seek approval from, but our greatest desire should be that God approve our actions, attitudes and words.

    LIVING A GOD-APPROVED LIFE GALATIANS 2:1-10 INTRODUCTION We might say trying to win approval from others consumes our lives.

     | 6,208 views

    Jesus shares with Nicodemus the need to be born again as the basis for righteousness, spirtual perception, and eternal life.

    We can experience the full measure of God’s love and His grace here and now in this life. We don’t wait till we die to know God.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,575 views

    Blood is thicker than water. But the blood that matters is not ours - not our common ancestors, not our genetic heritage, not even a shared cultural or legal identity. The blood that makes the church a family is Jesus’ blood.

    One of the things I have always like about being here in Clayton is the small town, family atmosphere. I moved around so much when I was young that I don’t know anyone I went to kindergarten with; I hardly even know most of my relatives. But here... We have multiple generations sitting right here ...read more
