    Often we reach the place where satan says, "Give up!" But this Dad and Woman believed...and Jesus came on the scene and touched by His Power!

    “What do YOU NEED from GOD?” Mark 5:25-29 This is where it is finally won or lost, any doctor will tell you, “within.” How many times the words “hang on” have been used! Illust: When the French surrendered to General Giap and the Vietnamese at Dien Phen ...read more

    Giving is an important aspect of the Christian life because it has capacity to provoke the blessings of God upon the giver, but most of us are not faithful in our giving.

    CHRISTIAN GIVING Study text: I Corinthians 16:1-4 1 Cor 16:1-4: Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no ...read more

    Jesus And Giving Series

     | 3,094 views

    Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

    Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more

    The first of 3 sermons that formed our Stewardship (Giving) Campaign for 2015, this sermon starts by celebrating the huge amounts of God-inspired generosity that are already going on in our church.

    So - I have two sermons here, and i wonder which one you would like me to preach? Here I have a really creative one (hold it up) - I promise you none of you will ever have heard a sermon on giving like this. The other one (hold it up) it is a bit more boring and ordinary.

    Are You Sick? Series

     | 6,134 views

    Jesus tweaks the argument of who is in control just a little bit to introduce the real sickness in mankind - sin. He is in control of that too. Are you willing to give Him control over your total cleansing from evil?

    We’ve spent a couple of weeks in Matthew chapter 8 talking about control and authority. Matthew shows us that Jesus has it—over the seen and unseen universe—but that we as humans are loathe to give up control over our own lives and give it to Him. We saw a couple of notable examples in a Gentile ...read more

    Inconvenient Grace Numbers 22:22-31 Proverbs 19:21 Luke 10:38-42 That’s a funny clip about the foolishness of or the delusion of each of us being in control of our lives and of the plans we’ve made for them. But the truth is, very few things in life go exactly as ...read more

    A Sermon for Commitment Sunday.

    Matthew 14:13-21 Give Thanks Crowds of people were following Jesus and his disciples. We are told there were 5,000 men, not counting the women and children. So, rough estimate? 15,000 people? That’s huge. And they were all hungry. What an overwhelming situation. The disciples ...read more

    Imagine that a large church burned to the ground somewhere in north Wisconsin, and that all the congregations of our district were asked to help rebuild it by collecting an offering. Every congregation was asked, all but one. This tiny little congregation could hardly afford to keep going. They ...read more
