     | 4,944 views

    You know it doesn’t matter too much who is in what position in our lives until we settle the matter of who is on first. In other words, we need to know who is in first place in our lives. This is a issue that must be settled!

    Series: The Decalogue WHO’S ON FIRST Exodus 20:1-3 Intro: Some of you might remember the old Abbott and Costello skit, “Who’s on First”. Just a short while back I heard that skit again and it got the wheels of thinking going. You know it doesn’t matter too much who is in what position in our ...read more

    Living Life with a Purpose

    Intro: 1. John Piper noted: Pastors have the job of equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. But ordinary Christians do the ministry.

    This message is the third in a series that deals with some of the difficult sayings of Jesus. This message examines Jesus’ statement about the first being last.

    Many of us have a competitive nature, a drive to do everything we can to come out on top. We have been taught that you compete to win. Our culture teaches us to climb the ladder of success, to outpace our competitors and that the one with the most toys in the end wins. So we work hard to make sure ...read more

    Striving for first place in God’s kingdom may mean coming in last in this kingdom.

    Finishing First Mark 9:33-35; Matt 20:20-28 When the United States of America began the Apollo project to put a man on the moon, our motivations were not entirely scientific… In fact, the so-called space race was driven largely by the ego of the American public.

    Those who are suffering need to pray and the cheerful should sing psalms of praise to God. We need to be there for them

Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord ...read more

    As those who have encountered Christ and been transformed we, like John the Baptist and Andrew, should point to Christ and invite others into his presence.

    What do people seek when they follow Jesus? Why do you follow Jesus? Such questions matter for us. If we can’t answer these questions for ourselves, then it seems as if our faith is empty. But our answer to such questions matters for other people too. According to John’s gospel, and the ...read more

    Starting a new year, it's good to consider where we stand. Is it on solid ground - on Jesus, or is it on something that cannot last.

    January 6, 2013 Sermon- Firsts and Foundations It’s the first Sunday in January. I like firsts. I like beginnings. There’s always so much potential in a new start. There’s so much hope as a thing begins. Now the new thing doesn’t actually have to be brand spanking new. ...read more

    Othniel delivered God’s people through battle and there was peace for God’s people for forty years. Don’t get in the trap that repeats itself twelve times through the book of Judges with sin, punishment, repentance and deliverance. Don’t forget all the good things the Lord has done for you.

    The title First Judge is taken from the movie First Knight. The First Knight story of Camelot. Lancelot is the courageous sword fighter. He runs the gauntlet and wins a kiss from Guinevere, the bride to be of King Arthur. Then Lancelot after another daring deed saves the life of Guinevere and lands ...read more
