At The Feet Of Jesus

Contributed by Greg Warren on Mar 19, 2013

This sermon was a part of a series I did during our church's annual 21-day church-wide fast. We were looking at different elements of a fast. This message focuses on a fast as a time to simply sit at the feet of Jesus and enjoy His presence.

Today I want to take a closer look at the life of a woman we meet in the Bible. She seems to have this “intimacy with God” thing figured out about as well as anyone. Her name is Mary. And the interesting thing about Mary is where you often find her in relation to Jesus in various ...read more

Transcending Tradition Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jul 6, 2009

While looking at the disciplines of fasting and Sabbath, this message encourages believers not to let any tradition steal their joy or their love. We can’t be so into church business that we forget what our business is, and that is to help people.

Transcending Tradition (Mark 2:18 – 3:6) Just this last week, I came across some odd laws that are still on the books around the country. I think you’ll find them quite amusing. For example, young girls are never allowed to walk a tightrope in Wheeler, Mississippi, unless it’s in a church. In ...read more

Jesus Lord Of The Impossible

Contributed by Richard White on Feb 20, 2010

How easy is it for a cripple to get up on his own? How easy is it to love our enemies? How easy is to forgive someone who hurt us deeply? Jesus commands us to do all this.

This morning we visit a place called Bethesda. An invalid, crippled, lying on the ground waiting for the miraculous. Jesus says "Do you want to get well?" Some people do not want to get better, they like the attention they get, or possibly the thought of doing anything different scares them. ...read more

This passage presents the distinctions between Old Covenant and New Covenant religion.

You Are Greatly Loved!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Dec 3, 2012

Friend, the reason for our mediocre lives, broken homes and debt-drenched lives is because we read more of ‘how to become rich and how to have stress-free life’ rather than the Word of God.
