    The heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.

    The heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart. That means that the heart of my problem is the problem of my heart. And the heart of your problem is the problem of your heart.

    Gracious Lost People Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 9, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,391 views

    As Christians, we must learn to appreciate and enjoy the image of God in others – even those who do not know Jesus Christ. Sometimes, lost people can be wonderful -- and may be more gracious than some who know the Lord.

    Gracious Lost People (Genesis 33:1-20) 1. Lots of things in life are relative. 2. Do you know what the snail said as it road on the back of a tortoise? Wheeeee! 3. When we talk about people, we are usually talking in relative terms. In guys eyes, "all of sinned and fall short of the glory of ...read more

    Wise perspectives incubate wise actions. This Sunday's sermon will look at wise perspectives about leadership, our shared humanity, and discipling children.

    Wise Perspectives (Proverbs 29:12-17, 26) 1. A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter Amanda to answer the phone. And kids view the world differently sometimes. Literally.

    Truths about Satan’s efforts to control men and Jesus’ power to free them.

    LIFE AS IT REALLY IS Introduction: Tell the story: 2 men – possessed by devils, cry out to Jesus for ‘mercy’ – Jesus casts them out of the 2 men, allow them to go into a herd of swine (Mark 5:13 – 2000 swine), the pigs immediately rush into the sea and are destroyed – dead.

    In Pursuit Of Peace Series

    based on 30 ratings
     | 5,619 views

    I am firmly convinced that more than a timeless letter about the gospel of Christ, Paul wrote Romans as an effort to unify a church on its way toward division. Romans 14 is the climax of that effort.

    Proclaiming His Majesty Series 2006 In Pursuit of Peace Romans 14:1-23 The other night at worship, my son, John Austin, asked Sheryl, "Mom, why does everybody call daddy, Brother Mitchell?" As Sheryl did her best to explain to him how we are all brothers and sisters in Christ and that we ...read more

    The Power And Wisdom Of God Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 20, 2022
     | 3,110 views

    We did not get to understand the Gospel and be saved because of human wisdom but the power and wisdom of God. There is nothing man can boast about.

    The church has been plagued by divisions, with groups taking sides and pledging their support for various leaders. • This competitive and partisan spirit was tearing the church apart. They pride themselves on men and not on Christ. • They were boasting in human wisdom, eloquence and influence, and ...read more

    Live Until You Die, Die Until You Live

    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,070 views

    We admire those who pursue life goals as long as they can; but our calling is to die to self. It will mean a change of values and of attitudes, but it will give us true life.

    I’m pretty sure that we can make a case for living until we die. It would not take a lot of effort to convince one another that we can approach life with gusto, squeezing every ounce of juice out. There’s a strong compulsion in us to extract all the value and the vitality we can get out from ...read more

    Paul prays for the Church that God would be glorified in and through us

    Have you noticed how the more you want something the more likely you are to pray for it? And to pray for it consistently. That means if you want to know what someone is really passionate about, see what they pray for regularly. Well Paul is about to let us in on the great desire of his heart. ...read more
