    Considering the terror of 9/11/01 and all danger in our world today there are several, common sense things we can do.

    INTRO.- ILL.- The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, ’There’s Jennifer; she’s a lawyer,’ or ’That’s Michael, he’s a doctor.’" A ...read more

    Hope. It Is Not Over Until.... Series

    Hope. Not that sappy Oprah kind, but the biblical kind. The kind that says: In spite of the circumstances that surround you, God will hold hope for you, And beyond any explanation possible there will be joy.

    This is a wonderful passage. There is so much that is packed in to these few words. I don’t know about you, but the first thing that jumps out at me is verse 8 – Place your finger there – and let’s look at it again…I see Peter, as he is writing this statement, saying it with….shock and awe. 8 ...read more

    People, Like Pennies

     | 3,258 views

    Wealth in our lives is measured in many ways. Pennies are a small measure of money, but Benjamin Franklin would have told you that a penny saved is a penny earned. Friends in our lives are another kind of wealth that we may not value highly enough. Wherev

    People, like pennies Luke 5:27-32 I watched a hidden camera show some time back. The director had taken two rolls of pennies and dropped them randomly but obviously along a half a city block. Then he filmed people’s reactions. People noticed, but they did not stoop to pick up the pennies. Some ...read more

    #3 in the James Series. The Crowning Touch of Faith that every Believer will receive is the Crown of Life and Righteousness that represent all of the glory of God bestowed upon us for eternity.

    The Book of James James 1:9-12 #3 The Crowing Touch of Faith By Pastor Jim May Faith in God causes some vast differences to develop in the way that God’s people react to every situation than how the world would react when facing the same conditions.

    Why Was Christ A Carpenter?

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 6, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,139 views

    It was not by chance or mere coincidence that Christ was raised in the environment of a carpenter’s shop.

    In Mark 6:3 we read, "Is not this the carpenter?" I believe nothing was left to chance in the life of our Lord. Every day’s experience had been foreseen and planned in the counsels of deity before the Incarnation took place. There were no surprises for Him. He was never caught unaware. He knew the ...read more

    God's Hope In Troubled Times

     | 4,888 views

    Through the birth of the Christ child and the visitation of the angels to the shepherds we see a God who cares and comes to us at our worst times to deliver us.

    When we read the Christmas story of the birth of Christ I think we have a tendency to gloss over and glamorize what really happened. We sing our Christmas songs and envision this postcard picture of Jesus in a pristine creche as he lies in a manger on a bed of hay or straw. It’s beautiful, ...read more

    Using the story of the wise men to teach us how God seeks us and brings us to seek the Christ.

    The story of the wise men visiting the Christ child is an intriguing one. These men began a long trip to Israel simply because a particular star was in the sky, alerting them to the birth of the king of the Jews. They traveled for several months finally meet the Christ child in person. I believe ...read more
