    Keep In Step Series

    The Apostle Paul encourages the readers to "keep walking in the Spirit." This is good advice for today's Christian.

    Introduction In last week’s sermon, “Life in the Spirit”, I introduced this passage as Paul’s example of living in the flesh or living in the Spirit. While it may seem like I am doubling up on this text, but I want to focus on the message of the 16th and 25th verses; ...read more

    Jesus Values Our Humanity; "I Thirst” Series

    based on 80 ratings
     | 16,583 views

    Jesus started his earthly ministry hungry and ended his earthly ministry thirsty. As we return to Jesus on the cross we come to what may be the easiest of the seven words to understand. Or is it?

    Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. (John 19:28-29) Let me open today’s message by asking you a ...read more

    Is it enough to desire God? Is desire alone sufficient to enable you to follow God? Granted, we must have desire, but is desire alone sufficient?

    Mark 10:13-31 Jesus Blesses Little Children 13 And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God ...read more

    The Perfect Father Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 19, 2017
    based on 6 ratings
     | 15,807 views

    The Lord's Prayer tells us God is our "Heavenly Father". That implies that God uses the better tendencies of earthly fathers to communicate who He is. So, what are the traits of decent Earthly fathers?

    (Explanation of opening: The traditionally memorized version of the Lord’s Prayer is found only in the KJV. Since we have ESV pew Bibles – which leave off the last verse – I felt that would create confusion as to why that verse was missing. I didn’t want to go there, so I put the KJV on screen and ...read more

    As a Christian, we must strive to allow our earthly nature to become extinct.

    God created us with responsibilities. We are responsible to work and earn the bread that we eat.

    I AM CREATED TO WORK We are told in the Scriptures that we cannot work to earn our salvation.
