    So, if God is so good and so strong, why does He allow suffering? A look at answers for the Balconeers (those approaching it intellectually - "why?") and the Travellers (those in the midst of it asking "what now?")

    Love encompasses both loving and being loved. Many struggle with loving, but we often struggle even more with being loved. Based on John 13:1-9 and Peter’s struggles in allowing Jesus to love him.

    The Flip-Side of Loving David Flowers Wildwind Community Church August 20, 2006 Do you have a hard time identifying whether or not you are growing closer to God?

    What is God’s perspective on the current Middle East Crisis?

    Good morning, I’m so glad that you could be here today. I’ve entitled the message “A Biblical Perspective on the Middle East Crisis.” Everybody I know wants to be loved.

    We don’t usually hear much about the older son, but hey, he had a right to be miffed! Didn’t he...?

    (A backwards glance at the parable of the Prodigal) 22 “But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; 23 and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; 24 for this son of mine was dead ...read more

    Just knowing about Jesus will not benefit us. We must know Him. This sermon explains that to know Him we must have belief, trust, and faith.

    How much do we really know about God? How much do we think we need to know? One morning, right after school had started, the teachers were called into the teacher’s lounge for a quick meeting. This left all the classrooms empty. Mr. Miles knew that he had an especially unruly class, so he ...read more

    What about ministry and money? Should a man make his living from the ministry? What did Jesus say about it? Today, we will discuss this at length.

    I can just imagine the disciples sitting forward, anxiously waiting for Jesus to finish speaking. He’s just given them power and authority that they’ve only seen; that they’ve only been witness to - they’re anxious to get started. Jesus wants to make sure that they’re prepared before they go out ...read more

    Are you a little proud you attend church? Do you feel a little superior to those folks who sleep in or are out on the lake? There is no room for spiritual pride in grace, because in grace, it’s all about boasting in God not in our goodness.

    INTRODUCTION If you were around in 1975 you might remember the one-hit wonder “Feelings,” by Morris Albert “Feelings, nothing more than feelings; / Trying to forget my feelings of love; / Feelings, whoa, whoa, whoa feelings…” This is the sappiest song I’ve ever heard.
