    Like the Israelites, too often we grumble about our lot in life. May the Lord lead us to repentance...and thankfulness!

    Lent IV Numbers 21:4-9 “Are we there yet? How much longer?” Anyone who has ever taken a long car journey with children has heard those questions. They are questions that stem from impatience, from boredom, and maybe even a little lack of trust that the driver really knows where they’re going. Now ...read more

    To The Rich People

     | 3,620 views

    Wealth won't last. Wealth will testify. So who are the rich that James talks to? In part, it is us. We are the rich and how we use our wealth is a statement about our spirituality.

    A Sermon To the Rich (James 5:1-6) Introduction: A. There has been some political debating over how much taxes individuals who make over $200,000 should pay. That group of people make up 3% of the American population or approximately 3.4 million households. For many, that is what we call ...read more

    No Resolutions Just Commitments

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 7, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,563 views

    Jesus calls us to make cross-carrying commitments. These are not resolutions that can be broken and forgotten in a matter of days. When a person picks up a cross, it’s a one-way trip. No one expects to come back.

    I HATE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS For nearly a decade, I said, “Next January, I will start eating right and exercising.” You can tell what happened with my resolutions. NOTHING. I did not start eating healthy foods. I did not start exercising, but that all changed last January 14th. I had a ...read more

    I want to share a message entitled “Stretching Your Love Life.” The truth is taken from I Corinthians 13. The church in Corinth was a troubled church.

    God wants his grace, truth and glory to spill out. He wants us to be the vessels that spill as we work, play and interact with people every day. It is called WORSHIP.

    “Uncontainable Presence” Scripture: John 1:14 Intro If you could snap your fingers and in a moment command whatever you want, what would you command? Abby Small, in Return of Jafar, wished of the Genie Jafar that he would have the gold of a sunken treasure ship. The outcome could have ...read more
