    Jesus teaches in the Sermon on the Mount that one of the ways that we experience Kingdom life and are blessed is when we embrace our brokenness and ask for HELP.

    The motives of our heart are of extreme importance in getting guidance from God. Baalam was a spiritual man but the greed in his heart caused him to miss God’s will for his life.

    Hearing God: Motives Series: Hearing God #2 Numbers 22:1-35[1] 8-28-05 Intro What does God want me to do? Have you ever wrestled with that question? Most of us have.

    When we think of God, what comes into our mind? For many, our view of God is shaped by our upbringing and view of our parents or others who were authority figures in our lives. We tend to combine that with what the Bible says to come up with our view of

    Who is God? God is Omnipotent! Jeremiah 32:17 17 "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.

    based on 38 ratings
     | 15,963 views

    Jesus has called us to come to Him and to take His yoke because it is light and then says to each one of us to learn from Him. As the God/man he knows how to live life and he wants us to learn from Him. This is an introduction to the spiritual disciplines

    Many ask themselves when problems arise – "WWJD" – or "What would Jesus do?" Yet, sometimes that could be too late to be asking that question. As Christians, we figure that if we knew what Jesus would do—then we would know how to respond to a given situation. But there is a flaw in this line of ...read more

    Miracles Of Jesus: Fishin' With The Lord Series

    based on 19 ratings
     | 6,797 views

    You see, for those of us to desire to follow Jesus, similar to Simon Peter and the other disciples, it means that Jesus is the Lord of our lives. The Lordship of Jesus Christ is an important issue and doctrine in the life of each and every Christian.

    Miracles of Jesus: Fishin’ With The Lord Luke 5:1-11 INTRODUCTION... This miracle of Jesus comes at a time when Jesus is still calling the disciples to follow Him. In fact, this miracle happens before Matthew is even called to join the 12 disciples (he is called in Luke 5:27-32). So the ...read more

    An in depth look at the meaning of Jesus’ statement that no one who puts their hand to plwo and looks back is worthy of heaven.

    In our series on answering your questions, I recieved this one recently in my email: "Pastor, How do we put forth our hands to the plow for the kingdom, stirring up the gift of God within us for his Glory?

    When Peter was in prison, awaiting what appeared to be a sure execution, the church prayed without ceasing for him and Peter was set free by an angel of the Lord. Powerful things happen the church prays.

    In the text, we find something taking place that seems to be missing in many churches today – that is church folk praying for church folk. In this particular case, a church member in trouble. The Apostle Peter is on death roll and all petitions to commute his sentence have been exhausted. ...read more

    Modern man shirks personal responsibility by blaming society, parents, TV... or anything else. In this sermon, Aaron is the biblical representative of all those who refuse to accept their personal responsibility and look for a scapegoat to blame.

    The Fire and the Calf Exodus 32:24 It happened four days after my seventh birthday, in a place I had never heard of. At 3:15 am, on March 13, 1964, getting home from work, Catherine Susan Genovese, known to her friends as “Kitty” parked her car about 100 yards away from the front door of her ...read more

    Do We Smell Like Sinners?

     | 6,065 views

    Do we spend all of our time inside the church walls, or do we spend so much time out in the community serving others that we start to smell less like sheep and a little more like sinners?

    Do We Smell Like Sinners? I titled the lesson “Do We Smell Like Sinners?” There’s a book titled “Do They Smell Like Sheep” which was written for church leadership and you can probably figure out the gist of the book from the title. But, I want to challenge each of us ...read more
