    Joy Stealers are the tools Satan uses to rob us of our joy in serving the cause of Christ.To help us defeat the joy stealers of this life, Paul wrote the book of Philippians. Paul knew there would be times we could not be happy, but in Christ, we could al

    Where do you see yourself in this picture? Are you being pelted by unfair criticism as you are serving Christ? If so, keep on going and God will reward your efforts. Or do you recognize yourself as one who tends to be critical of others? If so, it’s time

    We can only speak convincingly to someone about the God we know -- the One we spend time with. Any other god belongs in a theology book. I know the God I serve. He totally changed my life. He changed me.

    Fourth in the series "Meet the Cast." As you study Jesus’ life you realize that even though He did not lay aside his deity, He did humble himself as a man, to serve all humanity. So Jesus understands what we are facing in our lives.

    I love the way “The Passion of The Christ” movie begins, with the reminder that 400 years before Jesus was born his sacrifice was foretold in a vivid way. Isaiah 53:5 (LB) But he was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace; he was lashed--and we were healed! ...read more

    What should be so very evident here is the magnitude of Christ’s love for us! The event of Palm Sunday, as well as those leading up to this Triumphal Entry serve to remind us that Jesus loved us enough to guard and protect us, to walk before us, and to e

    Renewed Spiritual Intensity For 2007

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,084 views

    Folks, our church is at a crossroads as we enter 2007 - many of us are standing at the juncture wondering what to do! A church can’t make impact on it’s community if some pick up their marbles and go home! If some never fellowship, if some never serve!

    When you think of the word intensity, what comes to mind... Webster’s definition: earnest, fervent, showing strong emotion, firm purpose, great seriousness. Which is the result of something developing within one’s self. Once when Alabama was playing Auburn, Coach Bear Bryant sent in his 2nd ...read more

    First he had manipulated the birthright from his brother Esau. Then he stole his father’s blessing. Jacob was on his way to greatness. It was as exactly as his mother had told him She had been told by the Lord that the elder would serve the younger.

    Genesis 28:10-19-Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. Then he dreamed, and behold, a ...read more

    What does God command/expect from those He calls? I wonder how many Christians are working in the vineyard with a slave mentality? The time to serve the Lord is not when your older, have more time, or when you have more experience. The time is today!

    Who are the meek? What is meekness all about? Why is it the meek that inherit the earth? Meekness cries out "Not my will but yours be done!" It bows the knee to God and doesn't look back. The meek do not ask, "How can I be served?" but rather, "How c

    We love to talk about time! We wish God would tell us the "when." But in this fascinating passage, He gives us hints and landmarks to watch for without give us a date and time. And so we serve Him while we wait for His time.

    Passage: Daniel 9:20-27 Intro: Time is a very mysterious thing to us 1. we are stuck in it, moment by moment, but dream of being outside it, to move back and forth in it. PP “The Time Machine” PP “Back to the Future” 2. hard for us to conceive of ...read more

     | 7,273 views

    How are we to live in the light of the end times? We're to be disciplined, clear-minded so we can pray. We’re to love one another at full strength. We’re to serve one another with whatever gift God gives us.

    Repent! The End is Near! It’s one of those cheap laughs that people get at the expense of Christians. Some Christians at least. You see it in cartoons, usually on a sign-board held by a man with a long beard wearing a white robe and sandals. And of course there are many variations of the mad ...read more
