    Hear the setting, Barren... have not borne...have not labored... desolate. This was written as Israel was in her exile. Israel had been destitute, (disgraced as a woman without children.) However, the prophet calls for singing because the Lord had promise

    The purpose of this sermon is to point to all that a growing church will experience growing pains.

    Text: Acts 6:1-7 Title: It Comes with the Territory Introduction: Herb Miller says, “A cold church, like butter, will not spread. Growing churches have learned how to regulate the congregational thermostat, and they have set it on friendly.” If a church is going to experience ...read more

    You Make Pizza, One Layer At A Time

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Jan 28, 2009
     | 5,175 views

    Our spiritual life must grow as we grow in the Lord. You don’t start with a finished pizza, you must continue to add each layer until you put it in the oven.

    You make Pizza, one layer at a time. Pizza, what a topic to preach about? I suppose that the only real connection we have with pizza and the church is that pizza came from Italy and Paul’s preaching took him to Italy. That is a pretty far stretch, or is it? Ancient Greeks ate flat, baked bread with ...read more

Why do people not jump at the chance to have all their sins taken away? However the biggest issue that puzzles ...read more

     | 7,875 views

    This message examines the importance of unity to our walk with God.

    In our text the prophet Amos poses a very thought provoking question, “Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?” I would like you to take a few moments and think about the implications of this question. As Christians one of the distinctive marks of our faith is the privilege to walk ...read more
