    Choosen By God Series

    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,252 views

    Everyone wants to feel welcomed, but our society makes people feel unappreciated. Fortunately, the cross declares that this is not the way God deals with us. We are choosen by God.

    We live in a cutthroat society. Our schools and our culture are designed for competition. And we live our lives with an “I’m better than you” mentality. Many of us were taught to go to school, get good grades, and get a good job. And once you graduate, send out as many resumes as possible because ...read more

    The Joy Of The Lord

    Actions that produce joy.

    Jesus said, "These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full." So far as the sacred record of the life of Christ is concerned, the only time Jesus spoke of His joy was as He was approaching Gethsemane. That seems a strange time to talk of ...read more

    Based on Bruce Wilkinson’s study

    I admit that I am not much of a gardener, but let me share what I know. The best way to garden is to put on a wide brimmed straw hat and some old clothes. And with a hoe in one hand and a cold drink in the other, tell somebody else where to dig. I’d be a great gardener if I could only grow green ...read more

    It’s through Love that we can show Christ in our actions and in our lives. It’s Love that we can lead others to a life in Christ

    Love • In Life I have found there are a lot of things that make me stop and wonder. • I wonder why a speaker who "needs no introduction" --- gets one anyway. • I wonder why, when a preacher says, "In closing..." he doesn’t. • I wonder why people will punish a child for lying • But they will tell ...read more

     | 3,467 views

    We are not shut out: Jesus includes us by giving us knowledge, by giving us a place in His mission, and by paying the price to see that we are included in the Kingdom.

    A number of years ago I saw a very provocative poster. It was a depiction of the doors of Washington. Nothing more than a series of doors, arranged in rows on the poster, probably twenty or twenty-five, all photographs of various doors in this city. Some of them were beautifully simple doorways ...read more

    Love Is A Command Series

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 30, 2009
    based on 18 ratings
     | 14,338 views

    Jesus said, ’this is my command: Love one another.’ How does that work? It is easy to see how you can obey a command not to lie, or steal or commit murder – but how can you command somebody to love somebody. How is that possible?

    Verse 12: ‘My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you’. Verse 17: ‘This is my command: Love each other’. One of the funniest comedies ever to find it’s way onto our tv screens, arguably, has to be Fawlty Towers. It starred John Cleese as the Torquay hotel owner Basil Fawlty, and ...read more

     | 27,001 views

    To be connected to the Vine means that the life of Jesus is flowing in us & through us, & this leads to fruitfulness. Fruitfulness will be the inevitable outcome of an inner spiritual life with Jesus.

    JOHN 15: 7-11 HOW TO ABIDE [DWELL] IN JESUS’ LOVE [John 8: 31-35] We have learned that fruit-bearing is a byproduct of abiding in Christ for as Jesus said, “Apart from Me you can do nothing” (15:5b).
