     | 3,773 views

    We are to imitate God and follow the example of the Wise Men from the East and give gifts for the right reasons.

    What does our society call the Friday after Thanksgiving?? We think about giving gifts at least one month ahead of when we plan to give the gifts on Christmas Day.

     | 7,631 views

    It is always "happy ending" for those who rise above "see level"... fueled by their trust in the "Good Lord" ...

    RISING ABOVE THE ‘ SEE LEVEL’ Yes, you got me all right (there is no spelling error in the penultimate word of the above-title). I am not referring to some balloon-aided visit to a high mountaintop. Rather the need for all of us to rise (propelled by trust) to that level ...read more

  • The Subject Of Sin

     | 5,175 views

    Jesus promised the woman at the well the living water of spiritual rebirth. But before she could receive the living water of spiritual rebirth the matter of sin had to be discussed.

    Last week we got into the story of the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4: 1-14. We found that the woman was intrigued when Jesus asked her to give Him a drink. Jesus then offered this woman the Living Water. But we also said that there were some matters that she had to straighten out before ...read more

    READ 1-2. Jesus has just finished praying for Himself, His disciples, and all the future believers. Jesus gives us a picture of His devotion to God in verse 4.

    Jesus made two revealing points. 1. His sacrificial death was the very reason God loves His Son so much. God loves His Son just like any man loves his child. But God loves Jesus even more, in a more special way, because Jesus was willing to pay such a

    As we move along in our study of the Gospel of John you might remember that last Sunday morning the message came from John 10: 1-16 when Jesus referred to Himself as the Good Shepherd.

    In life, it is not uncommon to be left out. As Jesus teaches Nicodemus, he gives us three things that we are not left out from.

    Three Ways to Worship July 7, 2002 - Community Chapel, Nashua, New Hampshire John 4:4-26 She lived on a dead end street.
