    This Morning, we take a special look at Jesus Healing the Paralytic , and how the story reveals to us what is MOST IMPORTANT, the Forgiveness of Sins.

    We have two types of paralytics in our lesson this morning, physical and Spiritual. Unfortunately, we will see how the spiritual paralytics actually want to remain how they are, rather than see the Great physician. The healing we read occurs in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and what is really ...read more

     | 10,572 views

    This sermon reflects on the transformation of Zacchaeus from taker to giver, from greedy to generosity and seeks to discover how we might apply that same transformation to our lives.

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,893 views

    Simeon and Anna are faithfully waiting but without the obedience of Joseph and Mary, the promises of God would've been delayed. We must be diligent as disciple-makers because to bring people the good news, to bring Jesus to them.

    Christmas is over and now we have 358 days until Christmas 2024. If I was a child I’d be a little depressed about having to wait so long Christmas to come back around again. As I was growing up there were many things I felt like I waited on; a girl to like me, for me to be taller, for me to get my ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,507 views

    No one whose hope is in God will be put to shame. It is not the harsh realities that defeat us but our inability to see God¡¯s goodness and will in them. Trust the Sovereign God who is in control and still very much involved in your life.

    [Main thoughts taken from Max Lucado’s book Just Like Jesus] Theme: A Hopeful Heart Hope is like gold in the garbage. - In the midst of all the trash you find something precious. - In the midst of the darkness you see a ray of light.

They thrive on that diet. Hummingbirds ignore the smelly flesh of dead animals. Instead, they look for the colorful ...read more
