    James warns against showing friendliness to some vistors to the service and then not being as friendly to others as we should.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Open your bible to James 2:1&ff. Do you make an effort to shake hands and be friendly with everyone that comes to the services of the church? Or do you just come and go and speak to only a few others? Is there anyone in this building that you haven’t already shook hands with ...read more

    Isaiah 53 was written some 700 years before Christ was born, yet it describes the coming of a Savior or Messiah who would be the wounded healer of the world and would have an uncompromised character. Here’s what we see about the character of Jesus.

    Uncompromised Character Isaiah 53 Andy Stanley tells the story of when he was 13 and learning the meaning of the phrase, “Actions speak louder than words.” His dad was the Associate pastor of First Baptist in Atlanta when the senior pastor was asked to resign. Charles Stanley was asked to preach ...read more

    In our quest to pray with and disciple our youth, the importance of the Great Commission plays a vital role. We want to follow it and pass it on reproducing disciples for Jesus.

Although the old man and his clothes were spotlessly clean, he wore jeans, a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and ragged.

    My hope is to challenge each of you towards leadership. But I warn you that my definition of church leadership that I am challenging you with today is a little different from what you might be thinking leadership within the church is all about.

    Let’s pray. Father, Open my eyes so I can see Your truth. Open my ears so I can hear Your voice. Open my mind so I can understand Your Word. And open my heart so I may receive all that You want me to receive. AMEN Today and next Sunday we are going to look at the challenge Jesus issued ...read more

    Jesus teaches us three things about humility: it starts at the bottom, it grows out of gratitude, and it is an act of faith.

    “Oh, it’s hard to be humble . . .!” Have you ever heard that little tune, “Oh, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re prefect in every way?” It’s a little tune I remember from growing up. And I read a couple of stories this week that sort of illustrate this song very well. The first was about Henry ...read more
