    The Sermon on the Mount appears to contradict so many other Scriptures unless viewed through the eyes of first century Judaism. No need to strain and squeeze to harmonize Jesus teachings here with His other teachings, the OT, or the rest of the NT. The

    The Two-Man Lift

     | 844 views

    When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!

    The Two-Man Lift Ephesians 6:14-18; 1 Samuel 38-40 When something is too heavy for you to carry, what do we do? We ask for help, hence – “The Two-Man Lift!” This was a policy where I used to work… Over 50 lbs., get help!! Knowing that God wants us to pray as if we are fighting and defeating the ...read more

    We pray for a peaceful resolution to the tensions between the US and Iraq and support those working towards that end, but we must consider that for the longer term, military action could be the most compassionate, faithful and courageous response.

    Bringing the Paralytic to Christ: a witness to compassion, faith and courage Then some people came, bringing to him a paralysed man, carried by four of them. And when they could not bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and after having dug through it, they let ...read more

    This sermon declares that being in ministry can be just as exciting as going on a family trip and just as children ask the question in the sermon’s theme, the church should continue to ask it as well.

    Are we there yet? (Matthew 25:34-46) Our theme for today’s message can help many of us reflect back to our youth when we were with our parents, grandparents, other relatives or guardians. I’m referring to occasions when we were going on some type of family outing. It could have ...read more

    God is constantly at working preparing and restoring His servants. This sermon discovers what it means to be a servant of God.
