    Jesus came to initiate a New Covenant, not to improve the Old Covenant. Jesus comes to give us new life, not to change our old life.

    INTRO: The first summer we were here (which was 2002) we were driving a 1987 Subaru wagon with about 175,000 miles on it. It started having some problems, and we realized that it needed more money to repair it than the car was worth – so we started to talking to a car dealer friend in Oregon about ...read more

    If you have dedicated yourself the following Christ, to live as Jesus lived and do what Jesus did, he will never let you go. Remember, God is reaching down to us. When we reach back up and grasp his hand, he’s the one doing the holding.

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Our Gospel reading today begins by mentioning the “Feast of the Dedication” which took place in Jerusalem. We don’t hear too much about the Feast of the Dedication. It’s also known as the Festival of Lights, or Hanukah. In ...read more

    The Prophet Who Felt Loss

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,574 views

    The life of Elijah is such an encouragement to us as we are able to identify with him in his reaction to the events of his day - God is the same for us today and is able to strengthen and enable us to witness for Him.

    THE PROPHET WHO FELT LOSS 1 KINGS 19:1-19 Elijah was one of the greatest prophets of all time. God produced many mighty miracles through him; yet we see him at one of the low points in his life; in fact perhaps one of the darkest moments of his life. Amazingly, this dark period takes place ...read more

    One mans view of the parable of the parable of the mina’s from Luke 19 - showing the amazing grace of God in turning him from a slave to a ruler of cities

    You’ll never guess what I saw – it seemed so unfair. He seemed such a nice chap – he had a wife and a couple of kids. He wasn’t seeking to do better than all the others. Just get by. He wasn’t the type to take needless risks – he was a good steady sort. Looked after his family… took care of ...read more

    We stand at the feet of Christ, guilty of the sin that precipitated those feet being nailed to the cross. But those wounds also mean forgiveness, grace, and healing.

    The Feet of Christ Luke 7:36-50 First Sunday in Lent March 5, 2006 Feet. We don’t think too much about our feet, do we? We pretty much take them for granted…that is unless they start to cause us trouble…blister on our heel, a corn on our little toe, an ingrown toenail. Pretty much though, we ...read more

    Repentance: The Forgotten Fruit Of God's Grace

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Oct 31, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,390 views

    People look at the church and cry superficial. Why is that? I believe because it is we have forgotten that saving faith leads to repentant lives. One fruit that has fallen off the faith tree is repentance.

    Intro: There are people that look at the church today and cry hypocrites. One reason is they don’t understand we are sinners that are saved by grace. It is the grace of God that makes us saints not the acts of men. Another reason is that the church has become superficial! Paul told timothy ...read more

    We all need reviving at different seasons of our lives. God has given us a picture of what this means through His people Israel.

    This morning I want us to look at what true revival is. Revival – It comes from the root word revive which means to recover that which was lost, to repair that which was broken and to restore that which was taken. There are many pictures in the Word of God of times of revival. In the book of ...read more

    If You Want To Get Someone's Attention - Whisper

    Contributed by Curt Cizek on Aug 1, 2008
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,819 views

    When God wants to get someone’s attention, He rarely shouts. Instead, He whispers by displaying to the world His "weakness" in Jesus’ death.

    -I don’t know if you remember the perfume commercial from the 1980’s where the woman squirts on some perfume and says, “If you want to get someone’s attention – whisper”? -Do you remember it? -I used to get a kick out of commercials and imitate some of them -I still use some of the lines from some ...read more
