    FINDING HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, WHEN THERE’S NO HOPE IN SIGHT Have you ever felt that the world was closing in on you?

    Jesus changed the Lame, Lepers and Legalists. Well, almost. Here we find the Pharisees burden and the Lord’s blessings regarding the Sabbath.

    Now it happened that He went through the grain fields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain. And the Pharisees said to Him, "Look, why do they do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?" But He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in ...read more

    Finding Secuirty And Significance Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on May 16, 2003

     | 27,030 views

    When marriages crumble, we often hear people say that they just must have been “wrong” for each other. More often than not, being right or wrong for someone depends not on some mysterious compatibility quotient, but on how willing and able we are to help

    Finding Security and Significance There are a lot of jokes and one-liners about marriage. It’s probably because as beautiful as marriage is, as set forth in the song we just heard, it’s also extremely challenging and can be pretty ugly at times. It was George Burns who said, “I was married by a ...read more

    Finding God In The Silence Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 19, 2003
    based on 55 ratings
     | 10,674 views

    In considering the spiritual discipline of solitude and silence, we want to ask: 1. Why do we need solitude? 2. What are the benefits of solitude? 3. How do we move into solitude?

    We seem to be obsessed with our bodies. If you believed the commercials, you would believe that you really can lose 30 pounds in ten days while eating everything you want. Or if that doesn’t work, you can buy the Reduce-EZ girdle, and lose weight just by wearing it. If that doesn’t do it, you ...read more

    Last words are usually sad, but Paul’s last words, although serious, have an attitude of joy. The key to living for Christ with joy, is knowing how to die for Christ. In our text today, Paul is showing us how to die by giving us his view of death

    Finding Joy in Serving Christ II Timothy 4:6-7 Purpose: To explain why Paul had been so successful in serving Christ.

    Cross Purposes 3: Redemption Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Dec 13, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,816 views

    Redemption is like purchasing a slave to free them. Jesus 1) made a personal investment, and 2) paid a price. We are free as we 1) recognize our worth, and 2) chooses to be slaves of God.

    CROSS PURPOSES 5: REDEMPTION For the past 4 weeks, we have been asking, “Why did Jesus Christ, the Son of God, die on the cross for us?” We keep asking the same question, because the cross impacts our lives in so many ways, that we can’t exhaust them all: The cross shows the love of God. ...read more

    “What’s Christmas All About? Finding Your Place on the Family Tree” Matthew 1:1-16; Ruth 4:13-17 Most of us, at some point in time, develop a curiosity about our heritage.
