    In a small youth group, there are 3 keys to growth... My Friends are essential

    A few weeks ago we started talking about how to grow our youth group. This week I was reading a book.

    In our text, Paul speaks of the new life that we have in Christ. He looks at it from three different perspectives: past, present and future. 1- A past experience 2- A present enjoyment 3- A future ecstasy

    INTRO.- ILL.- I am reminded of the old story about the funeral of the unsavory character who had never been to church in his life. He had led a very questionable life, meaning he’d done about anything and everything a person could think of and it wasn’t good. The service was being conducted by a ...read more

    The church is more than a social club. Why is it difficult for some people to fit in, and how can we build bridges?

    IN CHRIST, I AM…A BRIDGE-BUILDER—Ephesians 2:11-22 (Series on Ephesians: In Christ, I Am…) My wife and I retired in Texas a few months ago, and we found ourselves, for the first time in our marriage, looking for a church to call home.

    Make friends for yourself so that they may welcome you into the eternal home.

    If you’re a fan of those old Hollywood movies of the 40s & 50s then you may think that love makes the world go ’round. On the other hand if you’ve kept your ears to the ground over the past few weeks of electioneering, you will have realised that the song writers of the 40s & 50s miscalculated a ...read more

    Finding Joy When Facing Persecution For Christ

    It is a privilege to face trials which grow us in our sanctification. The book The Heavenly Man is used as an illustration.

    This story is a little bit convoluted but the message is important. Our son Tommy graduated 8th grade in May of 2007. One of his eighth grade teachers was Tim Bratt. Tim is a solid Christian man who lives his faith. During that year they read The Heavenly Man and discussed and reported on it in ...read more

    A Sunday School teacher asked the class: "What were the first words Jesus said after leaving the tomb." A little girl lifted her hands in the air and responded; "Ta Da"! O' Beloved; Ta Da Jesus Christ has Risen indeed.

    Let us pray O' Heavenly Father it is through your only begotten Son Jesus that we have the gift of eternal life. For He overcame death ... and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, ... who this day ... celebrate with joy our Lord's resurrection, ... may be raised from the ...read more

    Keep Watch for Christ’s Coming 1) Watch against unbelief; 2) Watch against indifference

    Keeping watch may be boring but it pays well. In 2010 world security service income, money earned by security guards and security systems, exceeded $174 billion (MarketLine). For comparison’s sake, $66 billion worth of diamonds were sold that same year. It seems that you can make more ...read more

    When you look at that picture of a mountain range, can you tell me which mountain is closest or where one begins and the other ends? It’s kind of hard to tell from a distance, isn’t it? Only when you get closer, into the mountain range itself will you be able to tell which comes first and where ...read more

    . There is hardly a more precise picture of the work of Christ on the cross, than is found here in this body of scripture. We can best glean the truths from these verses by focusing on the prisoners’ failure, their friend, and their future.

    The Baker, Butler and the Peace Maker Text: Gen. 40 Introduction: Joseph had been rejected by his brothers, sold into slavery in Egypt, falsely accused and sentence to the prison. It was while in prison that Joseph meets two prisoners of the Pharaoh. Joseph was assigned to them and during their ...read more
