    In this New Year (2010) will we take the challenge to be humble, open to the Holy Spirit, have a repentant heart, a genuine hunger and thirst for God, pursue holiness, stay continually anointed and be of one mind and spirit within the Body of Christ.

    Introduction: Something’s happening ... This last week I began reading a book by James Rutz. James wrote this book to make the Christian church aware that God is moving all across the world.

    Part 4 in series Slowing Down. Many people who genuinely desire to follow Jesus have not created enough margin in their lives to do so. What are margins, and how do we create them in our lives?

    Margins Slowing Down, part 4 Wildwind Community Church David Flowers November 1, 2008 When you read a book or write a paper, what are the margins? Margins are two things – they are places that separate something from nothing. No book or report would look good if it were filled with words on the ...read more

    Peniel was a place where Jacob reached brokenness. He lost all self-sufficiency and depended completely on God. This was a time for Jacob of genuine soul searching and spiritual struggle. It was also a significant time of knowing God’s grace.

    A profession of faith in Christ is not an end in itself. It is the beginning of a pilgrimage. Along the way there will be defining moments and spiritual highlights. For Jacob his defining moment was at Peniel. The meaning of Peniel is the face of God. Peniel was a place where Jacob reached ...read more

    GOD cares more about the condition of your heart than the traditions you keep. GOD desires genuine inner purity and authentic faith, not religious performance. True righteousness comes from a transformed heart, not outward tradition.

    God’s Christmas Tree

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 16, 2025
     | 322 views

    In 1659 Christmas was banned. More recently, genuine Christmas has been supplanted by a commercial Christmas with the Christmas tree as its center. Yet strange to tell, long ago, God picked out a Christmas tree for His Son.

    GOD’S CHRISTMAS TREE 1 Pet. 2:24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In one Dennis the Menace cartoon, Dennis rushes into the living room. His mother is standing there with her mouth open and Dennis is holding a large box. 2. He announces with a loud voice, “We’d better tell Santa Claus to forget about ...read more

    Taking A Look At Faith

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 8, 2012
     | 3,205 views

    When it comes to faith I believe in two things; God can and God cares. Why did the followers of Jesus mentioned in the Hebrew writers' description endure the horrific treatment of persecution? Why did they keep their faith in Jesus as the Son of God eve

    Last week we took a look at failure. We discussed that God’s love is unconditional. He doesn't remove love because of your failure or give you some love when you succeed. He loves you because He made you. Paul made his case that even with his failures; God was using Him to unleash His power ...read more

    Too many church goers think they are Christians because they do not know the real definition of the word "Christian".

    We were created by God to worship Him. That is our purpose. God’s plan is for us to worship Him. But, there is something else we are supposed to do, too. We are supposed to be like Christ. If you would take a random poll and ask people in America what they think being a Christian means, most ...read more

    On the day of your life there should be a collision, both mourning and celebrating. How will you write the script for that day?

    It is a story told only in the gospel of Luke. Jesus is coming into the community of Nain and around him a crowd of his followers jostled one another to get closer to their friend and teacher. And as often is the case when a group of like-minded people gather together the sound of laughter rose ...read more
