    Most people respond to Christ in one of two ways: casual attitude or committed action.

    CASUAL ATTITUDE OR COMMITTED ACTION? Mark 11:1-11 INTRO.- ILL.- A preacher was riding on a plane filled with people and cigarette smoke. (Of course, this had to be some time ago since we know that smoking is now banned on airplanes.) The preacher knew he would have to take a bath, and send his ...read more

    The Spirit of R.I.P.P.E.R. is in many of our churches and needs to be cast out.

    "Everyone is looking for you." Music to a co-dependent’s ears.

    We hear in Mark 1:29 today that “Jesus entered the house of Simon [Peter] and Andrew.” A team of archaeologists have discovered this exact house in Capernaum made up of black basalt walls that are still in very good shape. It reminds me of a man who hired a carpenter to build a fence. He told ...read more

    Many of us, as Christians, grow up with a "blind spot" just like the Dad in "The Cat's In The Cradle" song. Are we failing to build spiritual relationships just as the Dad in the song failed to build a real Father-Son relationship?

    The Cat’s In The Cradle Today we will be reading from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Today is Father’s Day. To me it is a confusing day but at the same time it makes sense. It makes sense because a Biblical father is what God planed for the human family. A father who provides for the needs of the ...read more

    Introduction: A. Let me begin with this humorous, puny piece about work. 1. All my life I’ve been looking for the perfect job 2. My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned...just couldn't concentrate. 3. After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited ...read more

    Should we (as individuals and churches) be Purpose Driven or Presence Driven? (answer: both! But we need the Presence of God to bring People, Preaching, Prophecy and Power)

    Purpose and Presence Mark 2:1-12 WBC 10 Aug 2003 am I want to speak this morning about the importance of us being people, and a church, with a Purpose… but who also seek the Presence of God PURPOSE It’s very easy for us as individuals to fall into one of two camps: - ‘I’m an active kind of ...read more

    In order for each of us to move toward becoming the person God created us to be and fulfill the purpose He created us to fulfill, we must pull some stakes and refuse to let limitations define us.

    Taking Up Stakes Living without limits for God’s glory ILL- Elephant Intro I tried to look brave, but inside, I was shaking in my sneakers as we stood within five feet of a six-ton elephant tethered outside the circus tent.

    A message exploring the importance of wholehearted and holistic worship of Jesus Christ and how our image of Him is sometimes incorrect.

    * Review: Where We Began ? We are studying the ways in which we shrink (in our own minds) the person of Jesus, from the robust, loving God that He truly is. ? Last week we learned: That the great "I Am" is calling you and is always with you in the moment (Exo 3:1-15)-I Am Who I Am. * No one or ...read more
