Prioritizing The Eternal: Letting Go To Receive More

Contributed by Justin Dietel on Jul 12, 2024

I want to start today with a story that might sound familiar to many of you. Picture this: I’m at home, trying to get my kids’ attention. They’re completely absorbed in their tablets, watching videos or playing games. I call out, “Jack, Jack, Jacqueline!” And… nothing. Not even a glance

Our Weaknesses Can Strengthen Us Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jan 27, 2017

Strength out of weakness, sounds a little impossible doesn’t it? How can something that makes us weak cause us to be strong? For when I am weak, then I am strong. How do we apply this in our own lives today? How can our weaknesses strengthen us?

Our Weaknesses Can Strengthen Us Strength out of weakness, sounds a little impossible doesn’t it? How can something that makes us weak cause us to be strong?

Let The Dead Bury The Dead

Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on Oct 14, 2008

"Another disciple said to him, ’Lord, first let me go and bury my father.’" Now this sounds like a reasonable enough request. I’m sure that Jesus, who cares so much about us, will agree to this. What does He say? Verse 22: ’Follow me, and let the dead b

Turn with me to Matthew 8:18-22. Here we find Jesus soon after the Sermon on the Mount. A man with leprosy has just been healed. The Centurion’s servant has been healed.

The Politics Of Jesus

Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Oct 30, 2023

Christians think they align with Jesus' views. Some are surprised, others offended. Jesus’ campaign sounds like a liberal utopia because we’re not ready to let go of hate, we’re not ready to trust in God and not in the law. We have to transcend hate and show the mercy we’ve been shown by God.

There are only two shows that I’ve ever watched the entire series. One of which I still own on DVD and have watched the entire series 3 times. If there was any show that I’d love to see still running today it would be this one. I’d love to see how it would interpret and respond to the issues of our ...read more

The High Priest Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Aug 29, 2012

Today’s message is in some ways going to sound like last week’s in term’s of what our high priest has done. But I also want to make this very practical in terms of what Peter says in 1 Peter chapter 2 about the body of believers being a royal priesthood.

The first thing I want to do is debunk the traditional idea of priests in the Church. In the Catholic tradition there is a basic holding to the tradition of the Old Testament. Priests in the Old Testament were very exclusive, and could only come from the family of Aaron and the tribe of Levi. There ...read more

When People Are Big And God Is Small

Contributed by Ervin Kimrey on Jun 14, 2005

What happens when we fear men more than God? Sounds silly doesn’t it. Why do people buy stuff they can’t afford, Why do we lie, Why don’t speak up agains wrong and the list goes on and on. Many times it is because we fear what someone will think of us.

The Spirit Is, Therefore I Think. Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 30, 2012

Paul teaches us that the world will not see as being eloquent, wise or persuasive. We're never going to impress the world by "who" we are. So how can we possibly overcome the world and win it to Christ? What (or Who) is going to give us the edge?
