    How is a church a family? How do we practically show love to one another? Jesus gave us an example and Paul challenges us to live it.

    Christian Love (Rom. 12:9-13) Intro: A. There is a verse that many Christians know, have heard or been preached from the pulpit so frequently, it the meaning has lost its wonder and awe.

    This sermon talks about things in our world but points toward the hope found in Jesus

    You know, things have changed a lot since I was a kid.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 19,496 views

    Story of two people with the same problem, one was not seeking an encounter with Jesus and the other was seeking Jesus out. Both were healed after a close encounter with Christ

    Today I want us to look at two different people and two very different encounters with Jesus. As we look at these two people and how they encountered Jesus we should think of how we encounter Jesus. When Jesus is in our midst do we tend to make excuses or do we reach out to Him and make it ...read more

    In God's vineyard we all get cut, and as Christians to bear fruit we sometimes have to make cuts that prune us and cultivate us in order to become more productive christians

You know what I ...read more

    INTRODUCTION (Walk slowly onto the platform with a thoughtful look. Pause.) If you knew your death was only days away, how would you spend your final week? Would you be hiding? Crying? Maybe you would be trying to bargain with God? Not Jesus… He rode into Jerusalem… And He didn’t ride in all ...read more
