     | 5,312 views

    This message explores the words and ideas that show up multiple times in this passage and give us indication of the different ways we can react to the storms of life that we face.

    - Last week, in previous passage, there was a literal storm; in this passage, the man is dealing with a “storm” caused by a huge problem in his life: demon-possession. - Sometimes we find that the storm stays for longer than we thought it would. There are a lot of reasons this can happen - this ...read more

    Preaching through a series on Jesus’ life, this is a message on the Beatitudes, as a whole. I do not subscribe to the "standard approach" taken by many; perhaps this message will give some different ideas.

    The Jesus Series The Greatest Sermon Ever “Blessed” Matthew 5:3-12 September 12, 2004 Group Participation Time: would you gather into groups of 6-8 or so and work on a brief assignment for me? You’ll need to elect a secretary to record some stuff here. Please ...read more

    Extraordinary Love Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,365 views

    Paul is a man who is shaken out of his religious ideas…ultimately centered in his own ego and understanding… and awakened to the reality of what the true and living God is doing.

    Today we begin a new series… we begin a journey into the extraordinary life which God seeks to awaken in us. Over the centuries many have written of profound spiritual experiences… and often there can be something to learn from them. But none has been as profound or proved as substantial ...read more

    Why Are We Here? Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 5,247 views

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

    What does it mean to work out our salvation with "fear and trembling"? In Philippians 2:12-17 we find 3 ideas that help unravel this important command.

    WE FIND 3 IDEAS IN PHILIPPIANS 2:12-17 THAT HELP US WORK OUT WHAT GOD HAS WORKED IN. 1. WE HAVE A PRINCIPLE TO PRACTICE - PHIL.2:12-13 2. WE HAVE A PURITY TO PROTECT - PHIL.2:14-16 3. WE HAVE A PROMISE TO REJOICE OVER - PHIL.2:17 ...read more

    Inalienable Rights Series

    Contributed by Eric Hanson on Aug 14, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,031 views

    The idea of Inalienable rights is rooted in Genesis and the fact that human beings are created in the image of God. Neither Secular Humanism or Islam recognize this. This message looks at this in an instructional way.

    INALIENABLE RIGHTS Pastor Eric J. Hanson November 26th 2006 A message like this one can stand alone, but I strongly suggest that each one listening to Inalienable Rights also get a CD or tape of my message from two weeks prior to this one.

    After the northern kingdom of Israel was conquered and taken into exile, the Assyrians brought in foreign people to replace the Samarians. These people mingled with the remaining Israelites and introduced new religious ideas.

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 27, 2013
     | 8,031 views

    This message focuses on the need to impact lives with small acts of love. Doing that is compared to the idea of living a life of impact because someone has 1,500 Facebook friends.

    LIVES THAT HAVE IMPACT: Today many define impact in terms of Facebook friends, Twitter followers, and YouTube hits. - There is a presumption within many in our society today that having 1,500 friends on Facebook, a million followers on Twitter, or a YouTube video with 100,000 hits is evidence of a ...read more

    As the disciples prepared for the Passover meal, they had no idea what was soon to happen. The Lamb of God had come to redeem humanity, and most of the Jewish people were completely unaware.

    The Last Supper (Part 1) Mark 14: 12-26 Our text today reveals one of the most intimate moments our Lord had with His disciples. It records their last meal together, and the intense emotion experienced on that faithful evening. While the disciples were unaware of the enormity of this moment, Jesus ...read more

    Jesus is not an idea or concept, but a man Peter knew, the Son of God through the Spirit, and the Messiah. Through Jesus, we are adopted as children of God, and filled with the Spirit as Jesus was.

    JESUS IN REAL TIME—Mark 1:1-13 Who is Jesus? The name “Jesus” evokes mental images about God, religion, ethics, or personal faith. Some of those images might be warm and fuzzy, while some might be dark and dreary. Some might be reflections of personal ideals and biases—a Jesus who supports the ...read more

    Ahavah - A Hebrew Thought Of Love

    Contributed by Alex De Guzman on Feb 14, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,890 views

    Love or “Ahava” in the Hebraic mind is very different in today’s culture. In Hebrew, love is connected directly with action and obedience. It brings to mind the idea of longing for or breathing for another.

    Most Hebrew words can be broken down into a three-consonant root word that contains the essence of the word’s meaning. The root word of ahava is “ahav.” The term ahav in Hebrew means, “to give.” True ahava, true love, is more concerned about giving than receiving. Being the center of someone’s ...read more
