    Paul is stopping all of us in our tracks as we go out into this world to represent our King and Lord and Savior as he says in so many words, "Be Careful Out There."

    Introduction A number of years back there was a T.V. cop program called Hill Street Blues and it always started in a similar way.

     | 4,922 views

    Some people misuse their passion in a way that is harmful to others and the kingdom. This sermon asks: “What is passion?” “Is anyone here passionate?” “Why should we harness passion?” and “What should we be passionate about?”

    This evening’s message is entitled “Harnessing Your Passion.” “Harness” means “to tie together,” and “to yoke.”(1) You know what a yoke is, right? It is “a wooden bar or frame by which two . . . oxen are joined at the heads or necks for working together,” but it is also “the control device for ...read more

What they discovered is unsettling. None ...read more

    Believers are created to emulate Jesus; we are to be like him in all our ways, that is why we are being called Christians; that is, we are Christ like.

    When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part ...read more
