    The thought and desire to be a difference-maker is hardwired into us by our Creator. God wants us to make a difference wherever we are. That’s why, when we do, there is such a huge payoff.

    Hey, have you ever just kind of stopped and thought or had the thought go through your mind...I wonder if my life really makes a difference? I wonder if what I do really matters. You know, usually it’s on a birthday that we have those thoughts, isn’t it? Like when you turn the big 3-0, or 4-0, or ...read more

    Jesus at times taught with concepts that are not obvious so that we might grapple with His thought. This grappling causes us to meditate & stuggle with His concepts which eventually can bring blessed understanding.

    JOHN 2: 18-25 The ENTRUSTING OF YOUR LIFE The commotion caused by Jesus and the quick report of His unheard of action brought the authorities down on Him. They demand some proof of His right to challenge the existing procedure of worship. John is not concerned with the ...read more

    After the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus told his disciples to pick up the fragments and place them into a basket. Why? Three thoughts: To remind them of their miracle, their mission, and of their Manna from Heaven.

    "Spontaneous Worship"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Aug 24, 2006
    based on 7 ratings

    I have divided my thoughts on this text into two divisions: Three things that you can plan on. And seven things that you cannot plan on. Spontaneous worship is the essence of revival!

    Title: "Spontaneous Worship" Introduction: We do not know for certain who the woman was in this text, but we do know for certain that we will see her in Heaven and that her example has made a great impact on Christ and his Church. Tradition has it that it was Mary Magdalene in the text. I have ...read more

    Upgrade To First Class I Series

     | 8,895 views

    The thought that occurred to me this week is that we as believers are often satisfied flying “coach” when our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died and rose again to offer us a “first class” ticket.

    Introduction: Today we are continuing our series of messages on the importance of love and unity in the Church. When we began two weeks ago we saw that the key to unity within the Body of Christ is love. That is why Paul said in Colossians 3:14—“Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity.” ...read more

    This message deals with the thought that Communio is all about God and not about us. Additionally, the Corinthians church was acting in such a way that communion was divisive and thus did more harm than good for the local church.

    SEATED AT CHRIST’S TABLE 1 CORINTHIANS 11:17-34 INTRODUCTION: Last week we looked at the beginning of this chapter as an introduction to this section of 1 Corinthians, from chapter 11 through chapter 14.

    The good news and the bad news is that growth brings people and new people bring different ideas. What do we do in times of conflict? Check out these thoughts from the church in Jerusalem.

    Growing pains- they can be a good thing. There’s a saying that goes, “What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Growing pains can also be bad- after all, they’re a pain. It hurts. As a child growing to maturity, there are a number of times you go through ...read more
