    The power of God’s Word to change lives goes far beyond anything we can imagine.

    THE POWER OF THE WORD The story’s told of a South Sea Islander who rescued a wounded G.I. during WWII. While the G.I. was recovering, the Islander proudly displayed his Bible to the G.I. He explained how he’d received it as a present from a missionary just a few years before. The ...read more

    Are you looking for life in all the wrong places? Everybody is living for something or somebody. Paul said, “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” As we get closer to death in this human flesh it seems we tend to talk about death in terms of loss

    INTRODUCTION Over the past five weeks, we’ve been visiting the cross to listen again to the Final Words from the Cross. Today we’re going to consider words that continue to shake our world: The first words from the tomb. These words were spoken by angels to the women who had arrived at ...read more

     | 11,366 views

    When we take our time and "Walk" through the word, we discover personal principles in even the most difficult passages

    Walking in the Word Romans 9:6-17 * Turn with me to Romans 9 and let’s read verses 6-17. * Romans 9-11 are almost a “book” unto themselves. In fact, at least one preacher thinks this section of Romans needs to be dealt with independently of the rest of the book. Certainly there seems to be some ...read more

    While most Nativity plays at our SS Christmas programs focus on Matthew and Luke, this Word Play is found in John. It tells the story of Jesus’ birth from Heaven’s point of view.

    WORD PLAY One of the great highlights of the Advent season is watching our Sunday School students re-enact the Nativity. I remember as a child myself how on Christmas Eve we would have our Sunday School program, receive our goodie bags and go home to open presents. The Nativity play was a central ...read more

    Jesus is addressing those who think they believe, who think they follow God. They had the notion that they were children of God, but had never yielded to Him the depth of allegiance that is at the core of real belief. It is a dangerous spiritual state.

    JOHN 8: 37-47 RECEIVING THE WORD [OF GOD] [James 1:19-26] Jesus here is continuing to addresses those who think they believe, who think they follow God. They had the notion that they were children of God, but had never yielded to ...read more

     | 13,032 views

    God is not a God to be trifled with. God is not a God to take for granted. Even if our observation of the world leaves us perplexed and confused, God has revealed himself to us in his word. He’s revealed his plan for the world to us. He’s told us what he’

    You could be forgiven for wondering, as you read through this book, what the writers view on God is. At times he seems like a secular humanist. A little bit jaded by his experience of life; quite cynical about life on earth; almost pessimistic at times about our chances of succeeding in life with ...read more

    Third sermon in a series on the use and abuse of the tongue.

    "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

    God is a full-fledged Father filled with emotion who longs for me to come into alignment with His heart so that He can lavish His extravagant affection on me. His Word is the pathway to this experience.

    Fascinated By The Word – Proverbs 2:1 Intro.: Most people see God as a stoic, detached Being that silently watches humanity from far away. The truth is that He is a full-fledged Father filled with emotion and who longs for, loves and even desires me and who patiently waits for me to come ...read more

    How many know that there is power in the Word of God? If there is power in the Word, then we need to learn to speak what it says. When we live what we speak there will be resuts. Miracles will take place.
