    So the Shepherd – he’s to lead and feed, he’s to choose and cultivate, and he’s to watch and warn.

    1. It must have been something special to serve alongside of Paul the Apostle, to be with him in the ministry! a. Paul was definitely a go-getter. b.

    Why wouldn’t God be more selective in what soil He allows His seed to be planted? And why did Jesus tell only this parable (but not the explanation of the parable) to this crowds?

    A man walked into a flower shop and asked for some potted red geraniums. "I’m sorry," said the clerk in flower shop, "we are completely sold out of all of our potted geraniums. But I’d be more than happy to give you a deal on something else. Could you use African violets instead?" ...read more

    "The Sad Thing About Sodom" was the fact that there was one child of God there who should have been a witness and testimony of the one true God who could change their lives, but he was too backslidden to help.

    THE SAD THING ABOUT SODOM Text: Gen.19: 27, 28 Intro: The ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah shall forever live in infamy. The very mention of their names brings to mind thoughts of hellish depravity and horrible destruction, the latter being the result of the former. They stand in biblical ...read more

    The Kingdom of Heaven is present and is growing here on earth, and we are God’s vessel for expanding the kingdom.

    God calls us to go. Into our communities. Into the broken parts of our cities. He promises to go with us and to make us a blessing. To reach the cities for Christ through his highly imperfect church. Improbable? Impossible. Then it must be God!

    Sermon for CATM - August 26, 2007 - “Go!” Genesis 12:1-3; Matthew 28:16-20 If you were here last Sunday you heard Maryellen’s message. It was, as usual for her, pretty extraordinary.

    Don’t play with the fire of God. It will either consume you or purify you, depending on where your heart is. Playing with fire is a very dangerous thing.

    Playing with Fire By Pastor Jim May II Kings 1:1-18 “Held by Jehovah”, that was his name as translated from Hebrew to English, “Held by Jehovah”.
