    How do we define greatness? We often look to the world for this defintion. We look for popularity, power and to other people. We must look at the right source....JESUS!

    “Finding True Greatness” John 3:22-36 There are certain words we use that have a variety of meanings depending on how they are used. For example the word “fast” carries at least 15 different meanings. It can mean ... * the speed of a runner ...fast * to do without food. ...read more

    Inspect Your Spiritual DNA 1) You’re more like Cain than you’d like to admit 2) You’re more like Christ than you realize

    DNA testing is becoming more and more common. The police regularly use it of course to track down criminals but law-abiding citizens are also having their DNA tested. They want to see if they are descended from anyone famous. There’s a good chance of that if you are from mainland Asia ...read more

    Friends Pt. 1 - Cheesecake & Character I. Introduction It is the basis of every level of relationship of meaning. Every relationship of meaning has to have foundation in friendship.

    John is careful to remind us: these are not just random miracles, they are signs—works that point beyond themselves to who Jesus is.

    "coming Home"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 3, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,831 views

    This is perhaps one of the most powerful stories in Scripture to me because the two people who Jesus interacts with come from two completely different backgrounds -one from a nice, comfortable home and one from a home that was filled with pain.

    “Coming Home” Mark 5:21-43 One of my heroes in Scripture is the great apostle Paul. Of the 27 books in the New Testament, we believe at least 13 were written by him. About one half. One of those was his letter to the church in Ephesus and in chapter 3 and verse 20 he says this... “Now to HIM who ...read more

    When I think of home several things come to mind... • I think of a house in Arkansas that I grew up in-my mother lived there for over 50 years. I shared a very small bedroom with my 3 brothers. • But Home is more than a structure—
