    Contributed by Bart Leger on Apr 2, 2006
    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,774 views

    The incarnation of Christ is important because it provides our salvation, fellowship, joy and forgiveness.

    Fellowship, Joy & Forgiveness Written by the Apostle John, the book of 1 John was written to encourage believers in the truths of the humanity and deity of Jesus Christ. In it he gives a summary of the Gospel, and the evidence of it. He then stresses the obvious and expected result: a holy life. ...read more

     | 3,620 views

    In all seasons of the year, we need vision correction. We are too often farsighted, or shortsighted, or just plain blind to the reality of God’s kingdom.

    The Eyes of Christ Isaiah 9:1-2, 6-7 April 2, 2006 There were two Marines who boarded a train together, one a young man not too long out of recruit training and the other, his commanding officer. They sat across the aisle from a pretty young woman and her grandmother. It was evident that the ...read more

    In this message we notice Daniel’s second response to a crisis. (His first response was in Daniel 2:1-18.) Daniel responded to the crisis in a way that sets him apart as a man worthy of imitation.

    Scripture If you live a typical life span, you will spend about twenty years of it asleep. And during those twenty years, it is estimated that you will have about 300,000 dreams. As you know, we don’t remember most of our 300,000 dreams. Only if you wake up in the middle of your dream are you ...read more

    Melchizedek – A Better King Series

    Contributed by Stephen Wright on Apr 8, 2006
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,076 views

    The author of Hebrews takes Melchizedek, a shadowy figure, and shows that he was a prototype of the Lord Jesus Christ - the true king of Righteousness

    Introduction If I asked you to name the most important people in the Old Testament I doubt that Melchizedek would be on your list, much less at the top. He appeared once, in Genesis 14 and he was referred once more, in Psalm 110. You could hardly call this “top billing,” but the Holy Spirit reached ...read more

    Today is Palm Sunday, the day when Jesus opened his heart for all to see. In his heart, we see where his true treasure was.

    1st in the series "Near to His Heart: The Gospel of John." Gives the reasons that the Incarnation was necessary.

    Text: John 1:1-18 We’ve got ourselves a problem, you and I, and I can tell you, it’s not just a little problem. We’ve got ourselves a whopper of a problem. It’s not a new problem, and we’re certainly not the first ones to ever have it. As a matter of fact the problem dates clear back to Adam & Eve, ...read more

    With An Expected End In Mind

    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,615 views

    That’s where you’ll find your peace – when you know Him and believe Him, when you know that despite desperate or discouraging circumstances, the end of the story is coming and it’s perfect.

    It was a low point for Abraham, perhaps the lowest. The ‘father of faith’ was despairing. You see, he had heard the voice of the Lord while living in Ur –a place where the moon god (now known as Allah) was worshipped. But, the true and living God had spoken to him, telling him to ‘forsake ...read more

    Having it all or losing it all, rejoicing in any and every situation should be a natural part of a Christian’s life.

    WE HAVE QUITE A FEW UNIQUE SAYINGS IN OUR CULTURE THAT HELP US DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN A PESSIMIST AND AN OPTIMIST. SAYINGS SUCH AS “A PESSIMIST SEES THE GLASS AS HALF-EMPTY WHILE THE OPTIMIST SEES IT AS HALF FULL” OR “THE OPTIMIST IS THE ONE WHO CAN ENJOY THE SCENERY EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE TO TAKE A ...read more

    We should invest ourselves in the Lord, even while suffering.

    Being A Christian Can Be Painful! (I Peter 4:12-19) 1. C. S. Lewis once remarked that “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pain; it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” Today’s sermon is about suffering, trials, and stressful experiences. 2. ...read more

    This sermon deals with softing our heart and a look at Job and see what we can learn

    The Softening of the Heart Job 23:1-17 (text v. 16) 1. Verses 1-6, Job is saying? I would come and let God know just how I feel, and He’d give me strength. 2. Verses 7-9? It was like a game of hide & seek. Job cannot sense God’s presence. Sometimes you will find yourself in some extreme ...read more

    Without the joy of the Lord any ministry can become a burden. Believers soon learn that in the presence of the Lord is fullness of joy and in His right hand are pleasures forever more.
