    Have You Confirmed Your Reservation In Heaven? Series

    Jesus is preparing a place for us. But don’t imagine a private room with walls and a door you can lock. There will be no need for locks in Heaven. Think about sharing a big house with all the other Heavenly Family members—more like a bed and breakfast.

    INTRODUCTION In a cemetery in Indiana there’s a tombstone that has an epitaph with the intent to make people prepare for death. It says, “Consider, friend, as you pass by. As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, you soon shall be. So prepare, my friend, to follow me.” Someone ...read more

    We have a story of the beauty and the beast and how the heroine saves her family from destruction because of the beast’s rude and foolish ways. Our heroine is a courageous woman of faith who steps in to prevent a massacre at the risk of her own life.

    Theme: Unsung Heroes Video: What is courage from bluefishtv.com. Quote on courage: Courage looks different than many people think today. The most courageous people in the world are ones who never pick up a weapon or those who choose to lay their weapons down. The kingdom of God is looking for ...read more

    Why Jesus Taught Us To Fear God Rather Than People

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

    Jesus taught His disciples, "I will tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell."

    It is easy to feel intimidated around powerful people. However, King David, who knew what it felt like to be afraid of powerful people who sought to destroy him once wrote, "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears." (Psa. 34:4) Jesus taught His disciples, "I will ...read more

    Friends has God been dealing with you in a gentle way trying to lovingly get you to return to His light yet you resist? Have you heard message after message from preachers trying to convince you to step out of the darkness yet you continue to stay put.

    A Great Light As we near the Christmas season I want to continue with the theme of light. A few weeks ago I talked about the star that shone over Bethlehem and the wise men that followed the sign in the heavens. We talked about the signs that exist today in the night sky and about Jesus ...read more

    Who we are depends on who we listen to tells who we are. We are used to hearing criticism from our friends, our bosses, the state, and our enemies. Who should we listen to? Well none of them, only person who the Lord says we are.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s, Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 22nd September 2010; St Oswald’s is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. The readings for today are: Jeremiah 1:4-10 Psalm 71:1-6 Hebrews 12:18-29 Luke 13:10-17 “Please ...read more

    Dear friend, being born male is just the beginning. It takes a lot of hard work and courage to become a true man, especially one who follows the teachings of God. To truly understand what it means to be a real man, we need to examine the differences between being a male and being a mature man.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (1 Corinthians 3:11) "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." (Proverbs 23:24) "The ...read more

    I have a prayer/blessing that I pray for friends and write on cards. “May you experience God’s Power, His Provision, His Protection, His Presence, and His Peace.” As I read through Nehemiah 9, I recognized that the Israelites had experienced and now remembered these aspects of God.

    God’s house is not just for a select few. God tells those who are among his family and those who are outside of it that He still intends to add still more to His people than those already gathered; people of every nationality and race, social status and

    Sin In The Camp Series

     | 6,716 views

    God's punishment upon Achan (and his family and possessions) seems severe...and it was, because sin is a serious matter. Sin is rebellion. Sin is covenant-breaking. Sin is choosing to go our way and reject God's way. And sin has consequences.

    Hamlet famously complained that “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” Joshua found that something was rotten in Canaan, within his own people. After devoting himself to God, and after a miraculous victory at Jericho, Joshua's army suffered a defeat in Ai. Israel was enjoying ...read more

    Too many churches are caught up in conflict because they've forgotten who is truly the enemy. How do we prevent conflict from ruling the church? Choose the correct weapons! Check out these thoughts from Scott Jewell, our Family Minister.

    Most nativity scenes portray a cute scene of a happy little family, & friendly visitors. That's the way we like to think of it, but it's hardly realistic. When we pause at the manger with this image, we maybe forget that this infant was born to die.

    Every year, at about this time, my dad has this tradition of getting out old home movies. A lot of families have a tradition of watching their favorite Christmas movie: “Home Alone,” or “Elf,” or “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” or “It’s a Wonderful Life,” or what have you. But for my dad, he ...read more

    The brief account of the widow’s oil illustrates God’s blessing of those who are faithful to His word. God provides a means of income for the widow and her family, using things she has on hand, along with the charity of people around them.

    God Provides in Difficult Times A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord.

    The difference was plain as day! It was a quick trip to the park on a Saturday evening. Nothing major, just a few minutes with the family to get out the hyper-activity. I didn’t notice it right away, but once it sank in, there was no stopping the waves of sadness, frustration, and anger.
