    The Christmas story isn't neat nor tidy. Along with good tidings of great joy come great suffering and sorrow as Jesus enters the world.

    Intro: How many of you like Christmas cards? Perfectly cut with just the right saying or Bible verse. The pictures or paintings seem to be perfect. I love the Christmas story because it is in no way like Christmas cards. The Christmas story is not neat nor is it perfect. It isn’t tidy or ...read more

    Series Introduction The Lord’s Prayer is but 38 words (in its original form in Luke’s gospel) that change the very way we understand God, ourselves, and the world. It’s the richest single source in the entire Bible of information on how to pray. It’s not the only place where prayer is taught ...read more

    “It isn’t necessary for [others] to like me to save my life, and I don’t need to like them for me to be saving their lives.”

    The Guinness Book of World Records keeps track of some very unusual records. The 1999 edition contains one entry titled, “The longest time living in a tree.” It seems a man in Indonesia named Bungkas went up a tree in 1970 and has been up there ever since.

     | 1,647 views

    If God already has the plans for your life, what are you holding onto? If we are called to fix our thoughts on what is true, isn’t Jesus the truth? Isn’t Jesus all that we need in order to draw others to His grace? Shouldn’t we continue putting into practice what God has called us to do?

    “Words of Encouragement” - Philippians, Part 8 Philippians Sermon Series, Part 8 Philippians 3:15 – 4:9 Introduction - Reminder about our level-set from series opener: 1. Christians must reflect the joy of Christ in everything we do 2. This means you and I are to make the Gospel ...read more

    Loving neighbor isn’t easy. So, Jesus gives us four ways we show love for our neighbor in his story of the Good Samaritan.

    25One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what must I do to receive eternal life?” 26Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say?

    Faith: What It Ain't—what It Is

     | 3,118 views

    This passage in Hebrews gives us the ingredients, implications and illustrations of faith. By defining what faith isn’t, we can learn what true faith is.

    The eleventh chapter of Hebrews is one of the best known of the great chapters of the Bible. It has been called the “Westminster Abby of Scripture” because the heroes of faith are enshrined here. Perhaps that is a misnomer, for some people who have been to Westminster Abby and have said it seemed ...read more

    Knowing our temptation isn’t new and that people through out time has faced the same battles helps. Also God is our shield and defense.

    Isn’t it time that we come down, humble ourselves before Jesus, and accept his offer to become our house guest like Zaccheus did?
