    Spiritual First Aid Fighting Fatigue Ever wanted to just quit? There’s not a person alive that hasn’t felt like that. It’s where the circumstances and situations of life overwhelm us and all we want to do is to back away, check out, and vanish. It’s where we want to quit on everyone, even the ...read more

     | 11,853 views

    This is the first part of our Advent series where we look at the four themes of Advent

    I can think of nothing sadder than a life lived without hope. A hope that regardless of how bad things might seem, that things could get better. That ultimately every night has a dawn, every storm has an end, and every mountain has a peak. Author and preacher Max Lucado writes, “We need hope. ...read more

     | 6,814 views

    A first-person narrative based on the Apostle Paul’s final words of encouragement.

    If you only had fifteen minutes to live, who would you want to speak to and what would you say? Would you, perhaps, call up your mom and tell her how much you love her for all that she did for you? Or would you sit down with the grandchildren and impress upon them again those things that are ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 6,489 views

    The real SIGN OF THE COVENANT that God made with Abraham is not found in the stars. It was another kind of sign entirely, a sign which probably stunned Abram at first.

    Part 3 - Genesis 17:1-27 - COULD YOU CHOOSE A DIFFERENT SIGN? PLEASE! On facebook I have noticed that you have the opportunity of reading your HOROSCOPE for some kind of guidance each day.

    The Principles Of Powerful Prayer Series

    Contributed by W F on Oct 31, 2004
    based on 37 ratings
     | 14,722 views

    If we just want good things to happen then don’t pray. But if we want GOD things to happen pray with boldness, passion and expectancy.

    INTRODUCTION I’ve said on the front cover of this weeks bulletin that prayer is the highest use of the gift of speech. Words are a powerful tool. For example apparently for every word in Hitler’s book Mein Kampf, 125 people lost their lives in World War 2 (W. Wiersbe "Be Complete" p135). So words ...read more

    based on 55 ratings
     | 16,162 views

    Matthew 5:48 says to be perfect! What does this mean? Discover with me several things that this does not mean and several things it does mean.

    Background: Matthew 5 Text: Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. What is Christ demanding in this verse? Does He really expect us to be perfect? If so, how perfect does He want us to be? If not, why did He say it? What is Christian ...read more

    In a day of "me-first mentality" it is beneficial for us to be called back to a heart of service to others.

    This is “Passion Week.” If this were the very week that Jesus rode into Jerusalem, and we were there, imagine the mixed emotions that would dominate the week. Jesus throwing the money-changers out of the temple… and on and on. The Church has long recognized this day – this Thursday before ...read more

     | 4,003 views

    We all serve someone or some thing.

    We are all servants of something or someone. We are either enslaved to the sin we have committed or we are servants of Jesus to Whom we are committed. Serving either one is a personal choice. No one can force your service to either master. No one can prevent your service. But whom will you ...read more
