     | 3,385 views

    Spirituality is a term that is much used and equally misunderstood in our time. In the broadest sense, when we define spirituality, we think of that person who is intent on the qualities of soul, whose life is not centered on physical matters such as owni

    Series - “Preparing to Prosper” “God loves to bless His children!” That is the declaration of the Bible, a promise that we can live by. In this series of messages, my aim has been to teach how we position ourselves to stand in the flow of God’s blessing, to live in a way that is prosperous, not ...read more

     | 4,942 views

    Third and last in series Emotions, this message deals with Joy, with a tie-in to the Thanksgiving holiday. It examines joy as the by-product of a life with certain characteristics.

    Joy: More than Enough Emotions, part 3 Wildwind Community Church 11/26/2006 Psalms 4:6-8 In 1996 there was a news report about an Army veteran named John Crabtree who had been receiving benefits from the government.

    Realationship Series

    Contributed by Paul Newell on Dec 4, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,386 views

    Discovering the REAL Christmas begins with REALationship. Though Simon Peter does not meet the Christ Child until thirty years after his birth, Peter is still a powerful illustration of REALationship.

    Pretend Santas, imitation smells, counterfeit presents, simulated smiles, artificial trees, fake snow...how is it that we’ve turned the Christmas season into everything but something real? It appears to me that most of what is foisted upon us during the holiday’s is anything but real. As we prepare ...read more

    Every one of us has an appointment with God in which He will assess the passion of your life based on everything we’ve done. For some, that day is remarkably near. And since none of us here knows that day of crisis, all of us should be living as though t

    I can remember two separate mornings in my life, when I woke up early because I couldn’t breathe. When I woke, my lungs had stopped breathing and I realized they weren’t taking commands from my brain. So I darted out of bed, standing in the middle of the room with my mouth wide open, prompting my ...read more

    Isaiah describes how the desert will bloom at the coming of divine retribution. A picturesque text with a wonderful message for us this Advent.

    December 12, 2004 Isaiah 35:1-7 1 The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, 2 it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they ...read more

    Most of you are pretty happy with what is going on around here, or you wouldn’t be here. But we need to stop at this point and ask a very important question. Does that really matter?

    LOVED LOST I would invite you to turn in your Bibles to the book of Revelation chapter 2, if you haven’t done so already. Keep them open during the sermon to this chapter as we wrestle this morning with the first seven verses of that chapter. In verse five, the author has ...read more

     | 8,748 views

    Asaph asks the question - is it worth following God? When you look at life from an eternal perspective, the answer is clear.

    Have you ever found yourself thinking – I wish I had what my non-Christian friends have? I wish I had the freedom they have. I wish I was able to do the things that they do without conscience getting in the way. I wish I could get up to what they get up to without feeling guilty. After all, ...read more

    Hebrews 11:1-3, “1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are ...read more

     | 8,882 views

    Faith means both belief and trust. We believe something to be true, and because we belive it to be true we are willing to invest ourselves into it. This sermon reminds us of what our faith is as Christians, that the Christian faith in our pluralistic worl

    The Transfiguration is apocalyptic in nature revealing not only the divinity of Jesus, but also looks forward to the time when all is in complete submission to him.

    I hope this sermon is helpful to you in your studies. I have found William Lane’s commentary on Mark (new international commentary) very helpful and highly recommend it. There was a magician who was hired to do his act on a cruise ship. He had been there for several years and did the same act over ...read more

    Part 2 in a series about responding to tough questions. Part 1 examined other religions. This sermon responds to the question, How could God allow Suffering?

    What about Suffering? In 2005 some friends of mine were pregnant with their first child. They happened to be studying at college at the time, with the intention of going into Asia to preach the gospel after they had given birth. About 6 months into their pregnancy they found out that there were ...read more
