    A sermon plumbing the depths of Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane.

    One of my favorite scenes from the Andy Griffith show is when Barney Fife fights hard to stay awake during a sermon. Have you ever tried to pray but went astray because you fell asleep? Have you ever had a hard time staying awake in church? I can’t imagine that ever happening here! During our ...read more

    The younger son wanted blessing without relationship. So did the elder son. And so do we today.

    This morning, we continue our journey through the parables of Christ. As we’ve noted before, a parable is a short story which is intended to teach or illustrate some spiritual truth. Parables are small but powerful, and this is demonstrated by their familiarity. Few of us, I imagine, could explain ...read more

    The Lord gives us everything that we need. There is not a thing on this earth that God doesn’t give us. God gives us the things that he knows we need to survive.

     | 7,386 views

    This message looks at the first Red Letter Words in the Gospel of John, and they were a question, a question that is still valid today.

    The Palestinian sun beat down on the two friends as they listened to John exhort the crowds to repentance. For the past few weeks they had followed John everywhere he had gone, listened to his message, and watched the crowd’s reaction. At first they were sure that he was the one that the ...read more

Goal: To really understand the most popular of all the Psalms. Plan: We will go through Psalm 23 looking at some important details. I ...read more

    The text describes to us, not to forget what manner of person we see in the mirror.

    James 1:17-27 What do I look like? One of the cool things about going to an amusement park or carnival is a visit to the "house of mirrors" or "hall of mirrors." When visitors look at themselves in these mirrors, their images are distorted! Perhaps they're very tall ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,382 views

    Now here’s a passage that many Christians use to say that we ought to live in poverty and give away everything we own to the poor. Or the watered down version says that we should never be rich, only just earn enough money to live.

    Matthew 6 – Part 6 - SO ARE YOU SAYING GOD WANTS ME TO BE POOR? I’ve never had all that much money in my life. Still don’t. But I’ve never lived in poverty either. I remember being down to I think $10 in our account. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be rich, but mostly all I want is to ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 35,547 views

    Growing in understanding of how God wants us to live and to become an example for Him is what growing in Christ really means. To magnify Jesus while he was in the body is what Pauls main goal was....That should be our goal also.

    How does God want me to live? All of these questions revolve around our memory verse: James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Philippians 1:20-21 20. According to my earnest expectation and my ...read more

    There are people who attend football games because that stuff is real to them. They eat, sleep, breathe, and live for football! There are others who attend football games and you wonder why they are there!!!

    Probably it is: • Because someone invited them to attend • Because they were bored and had nothing better to do • Because some like to be part of large crowd But one thing we all agree on is that football players are not known for their academics.
