    A look at four keys to avoid hypocrisy in our lives.

    WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT HYPOCRISY? For the Christian, it’s the false security; for the non-Christian, it’s the disillusionment that happens when you look closely at Christians’ lives. - Luke 12:1 – “hypocrisy.” a. For the Christian, it’s the false ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 7, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 20,760 views

    A look at why we get tired of serving God and His reactions to the "pity parties" that we throw ourselves.

    [This is a long outline with a lot of points and is therefore probably more suited to a Wednesday evening study.] "I DON'T WANNA!": There are times in the Christian journey when we get tired of serving the Lord and we throw a pity party. - Jeremiah 20:14-18. - We whine and complain and fuss and ...read more

    When We've Given Up On God Coming Through For Us

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,139 views

    As time passes by, we lose our hope that God is going to fulfill the promises He's made. This message looks at why God delays and how we can maintain solid faith in the face of the waiting.

    [This is a long outline that might be better suited to a Wednesday evening Bible study.] WHY WOULD YOU LAUGH AT GOD? We laugh because we’ve given up hope. - Genesis 18:11-12. - The way verse 12 is phrased makes it obvious that she once harbored real hope that this would happen. The problem is ...read more

    Why Do We Ask Less From God Than He’s Willing To Give?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 12, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,308 views

    This message looks at the healing of the paralytic and asks why we settle for less than God's best when we ask from God. It then looks at four examples of how we do similar things today.

    - We want to begin with something that stands out early in the story: the fact that they obviously come for physical healing, but Jesus responds to the man by saying that his sins are forgiven. - Why would Jesus do that? Was He unaware of what they’d come for? (Obviously not.) Was He ...read more

    The Surprising Path To A Life Of Impact In The Age Of Facebook And Twitter Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 27, 2013
     | 7,969 views

    This message focuses on the need to impact lives with small acts of love. Doing that is compared to the idea of living a life of impact because someone has 1,500 Facebook friends.

    LIVES THAT HAVE IMPACT: Today many define impact in terms of Facebook friends, Twitter followers, and YouTube hits. - There is a presumption within many in our society today that having 1,500 friends on Facebook, a million followers on Twitter, or a YouTube video with 100,000 hits is evidence of a ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Count The Cost Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 30, 2013
     | 7,332 views

    A look at what it means to "count the cost" and why that's so essential. This message calls down the cheap gospel presentations that we so often make that have no mention in them of what it actually means to follow Jesus.

    CHEAP FAITH: Too often we offer salvation that’s straight from the discount bin. - Luke 14:28-32. - Our approach to evangelism is too often to present salvation as a low-cost, no-commitment offer. All you need to do is say you believe in Jesus! That’s it! There’s no mention of the need for ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 8, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,438 views

    An examination of what it means to "deny yourself and take up your cross."

    JESUS' OPINION: Jesus says the path to life is not in “finding yourself” but in “denying yourself.” - Matthew 16:24; Mark 8:34. - I’m thinking of the stereotypical statement that is so common that it’s almost a cliché: “I’ve got to go find ...read more

    The Most "Irrefutable" Argument Christians Face In The Homosexual Debate

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 19, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,991 views

    One of the most powerful arguments in the homosexual marriage debate is “I didn’t choose my sexuality – it came naturally to me.” This message addresses that argument.

    - Let’s up front acknowledge a couple of things: a. Gay marriage is here to stay in America for the foreseeable future. That’s just a political reality. b. Christians who claim homosexuality is wrong are going to be in the minority for the foreseeable future. - I think it’s ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 19, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 34,453 views

    A look at Jesus' difficult (and frequently ignored) teaching that "whoever lose his life for me will find it." What does that mean? What does it look like to live that out?

    WHAT DOES "LOSE YOUR LIFE TO FIND IT" MEAN ANYWAY? It means to pursue Jesus’ path even at the expense of my desires. - Matthew 10:39; Matthew 16:25; Mark 8:35; Luke 9:24; Luke 17:33; John 12:25. - This is a foreign concept to many Christians. In the American church we largely ignore this ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 13, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,673 views

    This passage deals with the myth that the Magi followed the Star of Bethlehem all the way to Jerusalem. In truth, the star disappeared and then reappeared after they were in Jerusalem. The message applies this phenomenon to the way that God often guides

    STAR OF BETHLEHEM MYTH: The Magi followed the star from their homes all the way to Jesus. - This is the version of the story that we’ve seen shared in countless Christmas plays, movies, and cards. - And, as we’re going to be discussing at several points in this series, the fact that ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,830 views

    STAR OF BETHLEHEM MYTH: The star led the Magi to Bethlehem. - We’ve all seen this in a hundred Christmas plays. - Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen to be the way that the Bible actually says the story happened. - This morning I want to talk about the way the Bible says the story ...read more

    What Happens When We Get Tired Of Waiting On God’s Answer?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 20, 2013
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,383 views

    A look at the consequences of trying to manufacture an answer rather than waiting on God to come through for us.

    OUR SITUATION: We have a real problem and God seems to be late. - Genesis 16:1, 3. - Verse 3 notes that they’d been living in Canaan for 10 years at this point. Ten years is a long time to wait, especially for something as meaningful as a child. - We don’t want to minimize the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,685 views

    A look at Peter denying three times and at five examples of times when we are embarrassed of Jesus.

    EVERYONE LOVES JESUS IN CHURCH: Whether I’m embarrassed of Jesus often changes with a spike in the cost. - Mark 14: 27-31, 50, 67-68. - It’s easy to love Jesus when there’s no cost involved. It’s easy to love Him when there’s no pressure. - As the costs increase, ...read more
