    Setting Our Minds

     | 4,907 views

    Peter has good intentions, but they are not in agreement with God's ultimate plan. We must covenant to deny ourselves and align ourselves to God's will and ways.

    WE MAY HAVE HEARD THIS FAMILIAR SAYING: “THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.” AN INTENTION IS SIMPLY A PLAN OR GOAL WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH. IRONICALLY, INTENTIONS DON’T ACHIEVE ANYTHING. THEY ARE MERELY IDEAS AND DREAMS OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WE’D LIKE TO SEE DONE IN THE ...read more

    Much of the church today has watered down the gospel so much in order to just attract attenders that Lordship and discipleship are completely foreign concepts. Many want only a casual relationship with Christ, but Christ is not a casual relationship God.

    ARE YOU A DISCIPLE? Matthew 16:13-27 This week I was in my storage room looking for something. I reached to the top shelf and felt fur and claws. A flying squirrel jumped up on a box and stared at me. I yelled for Lana to come. Why? Because I needed a sermon illustration. She got there with a ...read more

    What If God Spoke To You The Way He Did Mary?

    Asking yourself the question, "what would you do, if God spoke to you the way He did Mary?"

    "What if God spoke to you the way He did Mary?" There is really no other way to begin this message than to just come straight out and ask the question?

    Things covered in this sermon...Pride humbled; God is in control; God places rulers; Glorify God not man or yourself.

    Some lessons in life are hard to learn, some may even seem impossible. Many of us have found ourselves in situations that seemed impossible and yet some how we made it through and even grew from those experiences. I would say one of these lessons is losing a loved one for instance. We must learn ...read more
