    To Live Is Christ

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Sep 18, 2011
     | 5,703 views

    How do we balance our own pursuit of meaning and happiness with the call to live as Kingdom people? What role does suffering have in the Christian life and why in the world are we called not only to believe in Jesus but to suffer for him? A little bait an

    Grumpy Jesus: Feelings and Focus Have you ever been grumpy? I don't mean mere frustration; I mean, have you ever been in a place where no one could do anything right?

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,076 views

He had actually come over to our apartment just after we had started our church to see about selling or leasing to ...read more

     | 23,099 views

    While serving the Lord and walking with Him, we learn a great paradox - genuine gain often comes through loss. We must lose certain things in order to gain what the Lord desires for us.
