     | 3,025 views

    Paul knew more than anything else Corinthian’s their love for human wisdom led to division in the local church. So he explains it detail.

    1Corinthians 1: 22 : “For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom..” Paul knew well, Greeks need wisdom…that’s what they are interested in.

     | 4,894 views

    While we all have preconceptions about what the kingdom of heaven is and isn't, Jesus uses parables to force us to rethink what the kingdom is.

    What is it that the Gospel message presents? I don’t simply mean today’s Gospel lesson, but the capital-G “Gospel.” The Gospel is not merely, “Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.” The proper name for them is the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The ...read more

    When you are a follower of Christ, you will influence those around you. A Christian is an influencer; Christ-like in thought, in word, and in deed.

    Spirit-filled people live in the power of the Almighty and they are empowered people, though ordinary just like you and me. God and you can do amazing things!

    Maximum Satisfaction! God’s ‘way to go!’ Just about every little boy dreams about being a super-hero. So do grown men, but we don’t talk about it! In my conversations with people, I love to listen for dreams, for clues about a person’s passion. In the fresh years of our youth, we are full of ...read more

    A powerful part of prayer is telling God how much we "adore" Him. Have you ever done that? Do you know why it is important that you do do that?

    (This was the first of two sermons preached by our Associate Minister Scott Jewell while I was in Israel) OPEN: “I’d rather be able to pray than to be a great preacher; Jesus Christ never taught his disciples how to preach, but only how to pray.” -- D. L. Moody We’re going ...read more

    There have never been words spoken more powerfully than in the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth.

    The spoken word can be extremely powerful. When humans speak, it can literally mean life or death. If I mention a few words of famous speeches, most senior Americans can readily recall the heart of the message. As time regressive examples: “I have a dream,” by Martin Luther King, 1963. Next, “Ask ...read more
