     | 7,014 views

    Lights and Christmas go together like peas and carrots. This message series reflects on the four candles of the Advent wreath. We begin with the hope candle.

    All the Pretty Lights: The Light of Hope Luke 2: 1 – 5 You just can’t do Christmas without lights! They’re my favorite Christmas tradition.

    Shouldn’t we as Christians also be willing to pay the price, especially when we are called by Christ to fight for the truth? After all, he is the final authority and power in the universe. Christ is King

    Contributed by Bobby Bodenhamer on Feb 29, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,022 views

    Just as the wine ran out at the wedding feast, so can our wine run out. Sometimes we experience "dry times" in our life and ministry. When the wine runs out, let's run to Jesus for He is the one Who turns the water into wine.

    WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE WINE RUNS OUT? John 2:1-11 The first miracle of our Lord took place in a town called, Cana of Galilee. The event was a wedding. Cana was a inconspicuous little town that lay outside of Nazareth. Cana had no social prominence in its day! In fact, biblical scholars took 1800 ...read more

    If there are two things which are universal to the human condition, it’s that we all hold hope dear to our heart, and we all have to face disappointments and some time or another. Though many may not realize it, hope isn’t just a universal experience, it’s a universal need.

    OPENING STORY On this Armed Forces Day weekend, I am reminded of one of the persistent dreams of my childhood. When I was a kid, there was nothing I hoped for more than to one day be a Soldier like my dad. In fact, both my parents had served, and some of my earliest memories were putting my dad’s ...read more

    The Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem for His last Passover day on earth is recorded in all four Gospels. This sermon is based on the account found in Luke 19. The main point of the sermon is that Jesus wept over the city and what it means to us.

    Are we ready for the time of Tribulation that lies ahead? All Scripture quotes are from the NASB.

    Paul's judgment reveals the redemptive purpose of discipline - for the sinner as well as for the purity and witness of the church.

    Paul, like a spiritual father, admonishes the Corinthians whom he regards as his spiritual children. • He cares for them like a nursing mother and corrects them like a father would, urging them to walk in a manner worthy of God. (cf. 1 Thess 2:7,11) • Paul taught them in word and by his example, ...read more
