    It’s amazing what you can find on the Internet. I’ve mentioned before that I’m a Star Trek fan, so I was impressed when I found this. I found a website of pictures of the USS Enterprise made entirely from lego. (http://homepage.mac.com/happywaffle/enterprise/) The interesting thing about the ...read more

    This sermon explains that Christianity is all about a Relationahip with Jesus Christ, not a "Religion."

    Introduction: The Apostle Paul was in the city of Athens, Greece, waiting for his co-workers Timothy and Silas to join him there.

    Jesus gave up His Divinity, voluntarily and willingly, in order to become a man. The divine glory was exchanged for human lowliness. He emptied Himself of His DEITY to take upon Himself His HUMANITY. He stripped himself of the insignia of majesty. What wa

    based on 44 ratings
     | 11,172 views

    Which type of soil is your faith planted in? For many I am afraid that they are not planted in the good soil.

    “Parable of the Sower” Introduction It seems odd to me that all Christians respond differently to God’s Word. It is weird to me that we can all come to church and hear the same sermon and even sit in the same pew, but some take something away from it and others don’t. We all respond differently ...read more

    Salvation is MORE than "easy believe-ism". We need to see our sin the same way God sees it. Our sin should break our heart, like it does God’s heart.

    “Jesus Teaches About Repentance” Luke 13:1-5 INTRODUCTION: We CONTINUE in our series on ‘Lessons Jesus Taught’. We have studies what Jesus taught about: The Holy Spirit … the Tongue … Prayer … Thanksgiving. Jesus wasn’t the only one to teach about REPENTANCE. That was the major theme of John ...read more

     | 3,130 views

    How much does one have to give up in order to find his or her center? In the words of the wise old owl, "Let’s find out…" It just may turn out that the more we cut away the more we discover ourselves becoming who we really are.

    Some of you are, perhaps, old enough to remember the old Tootsie Roll Pop commercial asking, "Just how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?" The little boy goes from the cow to the fox, to the turtle, and finally to the wise old owl who says, "Let's find out...one, ...read more
