    Series of marriage.

    Celebrating Marriage #101 -- Pt 2 Introduction: The word courtship sounds pretty archaic by today's standards in a world filled with language like "one night stand" or "hooking up" and the very notion that "waiting until marriage" is the best option is laughed at in our culture. I'm going to tell ...read more

    Impure passions become vehicles we take for a joyride end up like self-driving cars that take us where we don't want to go. They become our lords. But if we pursue purity of action and speech, these same passions become angels that lift us to heaven

    Ephesians 5:4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no ...read more

    We're the light of the world and children of light. Allow that light to shine brightly in our lives to light up those around us. Let’s expose their deeds as we seek to shine brightly for Jesus, so that they may be quickened and made light themselves.

    This is an image from my childhood that has just stuck with me. It’s from one of those movies that we used to watch over and over again, at least every holiday. It’s from the last of the original, and good, Star Wars movies. In my mind, it’s one of the pivotal scenes from the ...read more

     | 5,914 views

    The danger is that we begin to think of the morally abnormal as normal and the things that tend to cause moral carelessness as matters of indifference. Christ-like love banishes the indecent.

     | 12,470 views

    This message explores the concept of crying out to God observed in Scripture.

    “Crying Out To God” Selected Passages It seems that it normally takes a severe crisis in our life before we truly cry out to God from the depths of our heart. Our relationship with God seems to have lost a real passion. We have lost the sense of desperation regarding our own condition as well as ...read more

    The Way We Walk

    Contributed by Timothy Dolan on Sep 30, 2012
     | 6,223 views

    Being an imitator of God means that we must live a life of love and light. Verse 2 of Ephesians 5 describes living a life of love (imitation of Christ's love) and walking as a child of light (verse 8) another imitation. Word imitation means to mimic.

    The Way You Walk Scripture Text: Ephesians 5 Introduction: -- Plato once said: “We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark: the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” Instead of trusting Christ, modern-day thinkers insist on using human wisdom alone ...read more
