     | 15,215 views

    People need something to hang on to, some glimmer of hope that things will get better, or that there is a hope for a better life, if not here, then in the afterlife.

    Last week we introduced our theme for 2005: Sowing Hope in a Hopeless World. The more I interact with people from all walks of life and see many in the midst of crisis, the more I realize that people need something to hang on to, some glimmer of hope that things will get better, or that there is a ...read more

    Before Jesus was crucified, the cross was a symbol of suffering and shame. After Jesus’ resurrection, the Disciples and the whole world came to see and understand the cross in a whole new way. It became a symbol of hope, new life, and victory.

    The great Bible commentator William Barclay described a tragic event that took place early in young Jesus’ life, when Jesus was somewhere around the age of 10 or 11. A zealot by the name of Judas the Galilean led a rebellion against Rome. He raided the Roman armory at Sepphoris, Mary’s hometown, ...read more

    Paul said he wanted to know the "power of Christ’s Resurrection." The resurrection power of Christ is not only available to us when Christ returns, but is available to us here and now.

    Paul is a very powerful writer and at times we may be intimidated by him. He shares with us here the incredible power we have through Christ to overcome the evil we face in our Christian Walk.

    OVERCOMING EVIL ROMANS 12:9-21 I THINK WE ARE SOMETIMES OVERWEALMED BY THE WRITINGS OF PAUL IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. I BELIEVE THAT OVER ONE QUARTER OF THE NEW TESTAMENT IS ATTRIBUTED TO HIM.

    A message from the poetic language of Job 14:7-9 where a tree that is to all appearances dead and without hope, comes back to life at the "scent of water." God wants us to be waterboys/girls.

    There are always two categories of people anywhere – those who seek God for personal gain and the ones who seek God for who He really is. Which group do we belong to?

    We remind ourselves that this series of messages are based on Act 11:21“And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” (KJV) The Lord’s hand is a powerful hand, a hand that helps, a hand that exalts us, and His hand is at work in all areas of our ...read more

    The world today is filled with fear, pain, and uncertainty. Many people are searching for hope, but often in the wrong places. This sermon reminds us that true and lasting hope is found only through salvation in Jesus Christ, who is God’s gift to a broken world.

But God, in His great love, has provided a way of hope through salvation in Jesus Christ. The Need for Hope Because of ...read more

    Alienated from the life of God, strangers to the covenants and the promises, we needed help! (#20 in the Every Spiritual Blessing series)

    “Aliens”. I wonder how many different pictures pop into people’s heads these days when they hear that word.
