    When One Is Better Than A Crowd

     | 4,023 views

    The church is one body and not many and yet unity is often hindered by such "diseases" as pride, self-sufficiency, ignorance and laziness. To "heal" we need first to die to ourselves and surrender to Christ who will change us.

    This week I heard devastating news from a friend of mine who will soon be ordained as a pastor. His son was just diagnosed with cancer. This is a young man, 18 years old, graduating from high school in just a few months and having to now face stage three cancer. It’s heart wrenching – ...read more

     | 5,659 views

    How do you determine whether something or someone is "good"? Ananias & Saphira appear to be "good" yet they weren't.

    Intro: I’ve done a little ancestry work with my siblings and in some previous travels to Cuba. We found out some interesting things; my ancestors on my Mom’s side go back to Spain in two generations, but on my Dad’s side they go back in Cuba 4 generations. Those great-great ...read more

    HoHum: A couple came to see a certain preacher -- not me. The man was particularly concerned about his wife's depression. He had tried all that he knew to help her, but nothing worked. So they came in, and the preacher couldn't do anything either. The lady was totally unresponsive. After half an ...read more

    Go Fish!

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Dec 5, 2012
     | 6,320 views

    There are a number of parallels and comparisons between fishing for fish and fishing for people, and we hope to look at a few of them today. Jesus will take you where you are and start with what you know and He will make you into who He wants you to be!

    Go Fish! Mark 1:14-18 14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" 16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew ...read more

    In Matthew 13, Jesus preached 7 parables that detail the history of His kingdom on this earth. In this parable, He tells of God's great love for believers, so much that He purchases the whole world to redeem a few out of it!

    One Breath, One Flesh

     | 5,089 views

    Pentecost 1986: We crave intimacy, and cannot live without it. It is not found in ceaseless work and striving, but in simply receiving grace.

    The peculiar thing about our times is that while we seem to be so free and easy, so relaxed about what used to be thought of as intimate, yet at the same time we are hung up, truly hung up, about intimacy. I say the strange thing about us in this last half of the 20th century is that on the one ...read more

    The incarnation is a unique touch of God in the world, unparalleled since the creation; all Christians are given a glimpse of this mystery to share.

    Do you remember how exciting Christmas was when you were a child? The lead up into the great feast of the Nativity was almost too much to bear. We sang advent hymns at church; we colored candy canes and cut out snowflakes at school; we decorated the Christmas tree and set up the crèche at home. ...read more
