    We are spiritual sowers by our witness for Jesus.

    Text: Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, a sower went out to sow” (Matthew 13:3). Why would Jesus use the words “sow and sower”? What does it mean to “sow”? What is a “sower”? What is a parable? Why did Jesus teach in parables? Jesus used the words “sow and sower” ...read more

    Jesus calls us to come and drink deeply of the springs of eternal life. The work of the Holy Spirit is to fill us and overflow with the fruit of the Spirit.

    Steps to An Overflowing Life Steps to an Overflowing Life John 7:37-39 Have you ever been so thirsty that all you could think about was getting a cool drink of water?

    James gives us some good reasons why we really should embrace the storms in our lives. Without the storms we would be weak and incomplete.

    Two men were walking through a field one day when they spotted an enraged bull. Instantly they darted toward the nearest fence. The storming bull followed in hot pursuit, and it was soon apparent they wouldn’t make it. Terrified, the one shouted to the other, "Put up a prayer, John. We’re in for ...read more

    This message about the God-ordained marriage relationship between man and woman as the devil is prowling to and fro looking for marriages to devour and relationships to wreck. And the church is not immune. We can learn a few lessons from the Shunamite cou

    Introduction From the title of this message, it is clear that this is an unusual formula. Yes, 1+1 = 1, not 2. Ordinarily, 1+1 equals 2, but there are many things in the word of God which are not ordinary, but extra-ordinary. When God parted the Red Sea for the people of Israel when they were being ...read more

    Don’t just roll over on this one and say w/ the masses, “Just be safe.” Or, “If you can’t be good, then be careful!” There is no sex safer than sex within God’s plan, marriage! Link inc. to formatted text, audio & video, PowerPoint.

We finally accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, start reading our Bibles, try to learn to pray and then what do we do? Isn’t their another step in this journey of ...read more

    HOw can parents showe wisdom in the way they raise their children

    We’ve spent 4 weeks reading through Ecclesiastes working out how that sort of wisdom literature fits with the rest of God’s revelation of himself and I hope we discovered that it fits well.

    Intro No less than a few years ago, you would have looked suspiciously at people walking down the street talking to themselves. You might have even crossed the road to avoid them.
