A Communion Meditation for Sunday, September 4, 2005

One of the most important ways that the Bible can come alive to us is to be able to link events in the New Testament to events in the Old Testament. As we are able to do so (and a good cross-reference Bible helps) we are able to gain a fuller understanding of how Jesus Christ has fulfilled the Old ...read more

Inaugural sermon for fall 2005 series through the book of Acts

My colleague in ministry, Arnetta Bailey, writes of the fears that we all have when we enter into a new experience with a new group of people: ‘Can you remember what it was like to start a new job or walk into a new church?’ she writes. ‘Perhaps you scanned the room for a friendly face.

A woman who worked for a vet was to have knee surgery. She was nervous about the procedure and asked her boss if he had any advice. He replied, rather half-mindedly, ‘Just turn your worries into prayers, get plenty of rest, and don’t lick your incision.” I do not think that the latter piece of ...read more

Six Detours On The Path To Worshiping God

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 5, 2005

based on 99 ratings

| 23,205 views

We know that we are to be worshiping God as a part of our daily lives, yet many Christians go for days without much thought of Him. What are the "detours" that get us side-tracked in that way? (This message was preached during week 2 of "40 Days.")

Key Definition: “Worship is honoring God’s greatness and goodness.” - Whether in church on Sunday or in our everyday lives, every time we acknowledge how great God is and/or how good He’s been to us, that is an act of worship. It is an act of honoring Him for who He is and/or what He’s ...read more

Why Do Sexual Sins Bring So Steep A Price?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 12, 2005

based on 45 ratings

| 5,638 views

Five of the reasons that we need to take sexual sin seriously.

What Were Their Excuses For Their Sexual Exploits? 1. “You can’t tell me what to do.” - v. 12 - “All things are lawful for me. . .” - This is an abuse of the idea of Christian liberty. They took the genuine freedom that we have in Christ and used it as an avenue to pursue sin. - As Paul points ...read more

based on 44 ratings

As the long-awaited Messiah, Jesus came upon the scene as a powerful king, but didn’t fit the people’s preconceived notions of what that Messiah would be. He is OUR king!

It was a question that struck at the very heart of WHO he was and WHAT he came to do . . . “Are you the Christ?” Mark’s gospel tells us that after Jesus had been apprehended in the Garden the large mob armed with swords and clubs took Jesus to the high priest. There all the chief priests, ...read more

There are many names given to Jesus in the Bible– each one gives us a fuller and clearer picture of who He is and What He means for us... And so, as we are unpacking the various names of Jesus we are asking ourselves “Who IS this man that we have put our hope in?” The very name Jesus means ...read more

Jesus is at once fully God & fully man, making him both able to understand our condition and able to save us from it.

It’s a question we’ll all have to answer! Maybe you’ve already answered it and it was years ago; maybe you have yet to answer it; but rest assured we will ALL answer it at some point!

Two gifts that kids give us are priorities and purpose.

(Overhead 1) Art Linkletter and Bill Cosby are right, “Kids do say the darnest things.” We never know what they are going to say and sometimes they say the most insightful, amazing, and even somewhat shocking things, especially this time of year when it comes to Jesus and the manger.
