    What God Can Do With Small Things Series

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Aug 10, 2009
    based on 8 ratings
     | 18,597 views

    The little boy gave to Jesus his lunch and Jesus fed over 5,000 people. You have something that you can give to Jesus. It may appear to be small to you, but God can bless it and make it useful to thousands. Will you give it to Him?

    (Play Chris Tomlins’s version of “Take my Life” (recorded from YouTube) during the offering) It is amazing sometimes what the brain remembers and why! I don’t know why but I can remember what I had for lunch on a Boy Scout hiking trip when I was in jr high. Our Scout troop was going to go to ...read more

    Jesus refutes the teaching of the churchmen of His day and makes clear the intent of God’s Law.

    The Meaning Of Righteousness? Part 2 Last week we listened as Jesus spoke to us about basis and foundation of absolute truth, absolute right and wrong.

    To show that CHRIST is our High Priest. We are kings, lords and priests because CHRIST is our King of kings, Lord of lords, and High Priest respectively.

    The Hidden Work That Brings God’s Power

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 18, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,123 views

    This encounter makes no sense (why would Matthew just get up and follow this man) unless you know the behind-the-scenes encounters that happened prior. This message unpacks the need for that hidden work in our lives to see God moves powerfully.

    WHY DOES MATTHEW FOLLOW A STRANGER? The public commitment was preceded by behind-the-scenes work. - Matthew 9:9. - Matthew 4:18-22; John 1:35-42. - Matthew doesn't follow a stranger. He had a previous relationship with Jesus. This public moment was preceded by behind-the-scenes things. - The ...read more

    If The Law Can’t Save Us, What’s The Point Of Having It? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 20, 2014
     | 4,832 views

    A look at how the Law is not there to get us to God, but to show us how far we are from Him.

    THE POINT OF THE LAW: The Law doesn’t get us closer to God; it helps us understand how far from Him we are. - 1 Timothy 1:7-8. - Romans 3:20. - The initial thought about the Law would seem to be: it’s to get us to God, therefore it’s for the righteous. - The reality is that ...read more

    James tells us that pure religion sees the ground as level at the foot of the cross.

    “Honor God by accepting each other, as Christ has accepted you.” - Romans 15:7 (CEV) In discussing “pure religion,” James shares the same idea as Paul. Pure religion recognizes the “ground is level at the foot of the cross.” 1. An exhortation - v. 1 By ...read more

    Prayer is personal constant communication with our heavenly Father and holy Commander in chief. We cannot stand as Paul tells us unless we are connected in communication by prayer.

    Intro: A man’s wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to our six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?" "I wouldn't know what to say," she replied. "Just say what you hear mommy say," the wife said. The daughter bowed her head and said: "Dear ...read more

    What’s God’s Law For? Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Jun 14, 2010
     | 4,419 views

    As Christians, living out God’s Law starts with our decision to say no to sin and yes to God and by putting on the full armor of God!

    Have you ever wondered, “Why would God create people when He knew they would go against Him?” Here’s a question that is somewhat related; “Why would God choose a people and give His Laws to them when God knew they would disobey?” The answer of course is always in the Bible! Please open your ...read more

    Echoes That Will Not Die

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 3, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,968 views

    In the song of the angels we hear echoes of our ancient problems -- meaning, sin, peace -- all of which are dealt with in the coming of Christ.

    The drama of Christmas is focused on a starlit night at a manger, on a mother and a babe, on the small things of life. And yet it is also wide open to eternity, it is a window into past and present and future. The drama of Christmas seems to play on such ordinary things. Tax legislation; taxes, ...read more

    It’s time for the fathers to become real fathers, and really great fathers!

    I looked for a MAN among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so that I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. Ezekiel 22 : 30 Did you ever wonder why we celebrate Father’s Day after Mother’s Day? I opt not to answer that question, for I ...read more

    Good & Best In The Kingdom Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 12, 2013
     | 5,365 views

    In Prioritizing the Word of God, we must be : 1) Devoted to the Best (Luke 10:38-39), without settling for and being: 2) Distracted by the Good (Luke 10:40-42).

    The word “priority” is a commonly used one today. Books and seminars purporting to teach people how get their lives in order by understanding and setting their priorities abound. As people’s lives become more frenetic, frantic, disjointed, and disconnected, they battle to stay focused on what ...read more
