    Contributed by Jb Hall on Jun 28, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,866 views

    This sermon teaches us that our scars are simply reminders that a wounding has occurred; but that a healing has taken place; a healing that lifts us higher than we ever could have risen without the wounding.

    Beautiful Scars Proverbs 27:6a By: JB Hall Introduction: Scars are usually not considered to be a beauty mark. People often try to hide their scars with clothing or make-up. And yet scars have a story to tell. Scars serve as a demarcation line between the past and the present; between what ...read more

    Do you really mean it when you say, “Thy kingdom come?

    Later on this morning we are all going to say together some very familiar words. We are going to say, “Thy kingdom come“. But I want to ask you to stop and think. Do we really mean it? Do YOU really mean it? I was recently talking to a friend I’ll call Tina who confessed to ...read more

    Mortality

    Contributed by Brien Sims on Jan 16, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,166 views

    This story is about someone who fears death because they don’t know what’s next, someone who says they know Christ but fears death, and someone who lived for Christ and knows where they are headed.

    How often do we as humans think about our mortality? Generally something has to jog our brains a bit before we being to really contemplate the seriousness of life and death. Maybe we see a horrific accident on the news, a national disaster such as hurricane Katrina, or even now an act of terror ...read more

    Christians are to be radically different than anyone else - not for the sake of being different - but because it is our nature.

    January 20, 2008 Morning Worship Text: Matthew 9:14-17 Subject: Fasting Title: Why Aren’t You Like Everyone Else? We live in a very confusing time in our culture. Sometimes it becomes difficult to differentiate between the good guys and bad guys. Of course we understand that as a sign of the ...read more

    We want to learn to share the Gospel because we want everyone to see the King one day and remain with him forever.

    Luke 19:11-27 M: While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once.

    The Price Of Peace

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 6, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,550 views

    Conflict is fundamentally spiritual, not just interpersonal, founded in insecurity and elusive. But persistence in prayer will ultimately provide peace.

    When Jesus spoke of those who cry, “Peace, peace” when there is no peace, He must have foreseen the pain of the present time. Never before in human history, I would suspect, have more people felt less peace than now. Everywhere you turn there is the evidence of a generation which is deeply ...read more
