    learn who to live in relationship with God

    OUR CHARGE John 13:1-17, 31-35 Today is Maundy Thursday, the least understood, probably least attended, and surely the most intimate of the Christian holy days. It was the time of Passover, when all Jews commemorated their escape from the Angel of Death while captives in Egypt. As we partake in ...read more

    3rd message of 5 on John 3-4. Getting What God Gives is important if you are going to become a faithful servant of Christ. It’s not easy but it is a critical lesson.

    From Mortal to Immortal A Study of John 3-4 We are all Control Freaks Control is a real issue for all of us. Of course, we can all think of someone else who is more of a control freak than we are. Like the mother who calls to tell you she has arranged for you to meet yet another wonderful ...read more

    Christ's first recorded miracle, the turning of ordinary water into extraordinary wine, becomes a picture of Christ bringing joy in the midst of sorrow.

    One of my favorite movies of which I will boldly, blatantly and unashamedly admit is the sequel “Bad Boys II.” It is a funny/amusing/somewhat comical/quite insightful movie whether you like or not with Martin Lawrence (of which I am a die hard fan/admirer/aficionado) and Will Smith and ...read more

    A whistlestop tour of the factors that have made us and our culture (in the UK) as we are. (turned us into individualists and consumers, basically!)

    Our culture. WBC 12/5/02 am Seeker Service Judges 2:8-16 I’ve wanted to say something to you on this subject for some time - understanding who we are… and what made us like this… brought us here is - so very important - SO fascinating! 1 Are things worse?

     | 9,076 views

    Christ's call to be a disciple who makes disciples is a mandate given by our Lord.

    We have looked to Matthew 28:18-20 to learn how being a disciple who makes disciples is our mission as the people of God. Today, I want us to consider how being a disciple who makes disciples is a mandate given to each of us by our Savior. The dictionary defines “mandate” as: “an ...read more

    "Getting Past The Crowd To Christ"

     | 12,163 views

    This is a very well-known story, certainly to Christians, but I'm not sure that Christians really understand the full import to them of this story. We'll not just be touching unbelievers, but we will all be getting a touch, hopefully, from the Spirit of God from this account.

    "Getting Past The Crowd To Christ" I want us to turn in the Scriptures for our reading just now to Mark's gospel chapter 2. As I have been announcing, I'm going to speak this morning, on the subject of 'Getting Past the Crowd to Christ'. This is a very well-known story, certainly to ...read more

    Every Christian is privileged to have at least three calls of God on his life. How often we take for granted His calling. How often we turn a deaf ear to His voice. Are you heeding His call today?

    Good Friday. What was so 'good?' Unless we first realize how 'bad' it could have been for us, we will never fully grasp the 'good.'

    Does it bother you that God is Just and Holy? It bothers most people. They want to determine what is right or wrong based on what they think is right or wrong. They don’t understand that one day they will stand before the only true and living God and be judged by the standard of He who is, “Holy, ...read more
