     | 5,503 views

    There are two major groups of prophecy regaring the life of the Messiah on earth as the Lamb of God and the return of the Messiah to earth as King and Judge.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Matthew 6:31-33 “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. “But ...read more

     | 9,584 views

    A introductory sermon looking at managing our time and resources.

    It's My Time? Ephesians 5:15-17 September 16, 2018 We would like to believe that my time is simply that . . . my time. We believe we control our time. And if that is true, then why are so many people feeling OVERWHELMED, OVERSCHEDULED, and EXHAUSTED. It seems too many people are overwhelmed, ...read more

    When Challenges Come Our Way, Jesus Already Has A Plan

    Contributed by Neal Nybo on Apr 23, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,975 views

    By looking at Jesus feeding the 5000, we realize Jesus already knows what he wants to do in your situation. Don’t limit the possibilities to only what you can imagine. And, remember what Jesus has done in the past and trust him for something big.

    For those of us who want Jesus to be predictable, I have bad news and good news. The bad news is. Jesus is not predictable. Never has been, never will be. The good news is, he knows what he is doing and its all for the best. The disciples experienced the same kind of hopes and expectations. It ...read more

    So often we go from the mountaintop to the valley of despair, how does God get us through to the other side? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister, Scott Jewell.

    Begin with clip from Hee Haw TV show. Gloom, despair, and agony on me. I remember many a Saturday night gathered around the TV as a child with my family. We enjoyed a lot of laughs as we watched sketches like the one we just viewed. This was the first thing that came to mind when I knew I was ...read more

    When Jesus comes first, everything else falls into place.

    Good morning. My name is Martha, and I don’t come out looking very good in the story I’m about to tell you. Mind you, I meant well, but meaning well doesn’t mean doing well. And of course, I was also doing what everybody expected me to do. I always have. It’s safe, I’m good at it, and besides, ...read more

     | 1,101 views

    Worry is an all-consuming use of our time, energy and attention on things that we cannot control. We worry about our finances, we worry about our family, we worry about our job, we worry about getting sick, we worry about everything.

    Love Reigns Over Our Future. Week 4. Matthew 6:25-34   Too many people are consumed with worry and anxiety about what tomorrow might hold. This fear can be paralyzing. As Christians, we believe that our loving heavenly Father is always looking out for us. Remember, If God takes care of the ...read more

    Don't Quit

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,182 views

    Our victory is assured because Christ was victorious. We are “more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). Quitting is a shortcut leading to failure. We can finish strong when we focus on Christ.

    Opening illustration: In 1952 Florence Chadwick attempted to swim 26 miles from the coast of California to Catalina Island. After 15 hours, a heavy fog began to block her view, she became disoriented, and she gave up. To her chagrin, Chadwick learned that she had quit just 1 mile short of her ...read more

    The Book Of Mark # 15

     | 1,317 views

    The calling of the twelve disciples is significant. These twelve men were special in that they were chosen to be the twelve disciples that the Lord Jesus Himself was going to teach and train.

    These twelve men had opportunities that no other men who ever lived on this earth have had. Each disciple that Jesus called into the ministry had special skills. Many of them were fishermen, and He took their skill as fishermen and made them “fishers of men.” Let’s look at two things: I. THE ...read more

     | 1,222 views

    One thing that make many of our lives miserable at time is the LACK OF COMPASSION of those that surround our lives.

    ? Children have no compassion for their parents ? Employer have no compassion for their employees. ? Neighbors have no compassion for their neighbor. The parable of THE LOST SHEEP reveals the COMPASSION OF CHRIST more than any other of Jesus’ parables. It is comforting to know that our Lord ...read more

     | 18,943 views

    We’re called not as servants, but as friends of Christ to bear much fruit to the glory of God. To do that we’ll need to be firmly grafted into the life of Christ and the life of his Church; we’ll need to be committed to obeying him in everything we do.

    Today is the first anniversary of the opening of St Thomas’. A lot’s happened in the last year hasn’t it? We’ve had a number of people join us. We’ve seen lots of new programs starting up, taking advantage of these great facilities. It makes you feel good to be part of ...read more
