    What makes a Hero? Jesus is our Biblical example of hero and calls each one of us to become a hero. Traits of Hero - Selfless, Servants heart, Sacrifice. This is a reworking of my highly rated "Greater Love" memorial day message from May 2007

    HEROES Jn 15: 12-13 INTRO WHAT MAKES A HERO WE NEED THEM, LOVE THEM, DO WE UNDERSTAND THEM? LOOKED UP TO, BUT MORE - WHO WERE YOUR HEROES GROWING UP? WHY? BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DID / ACCOMPLISHED OR WHO THEY ARE - THEIR CHARACTER HOW THEY TREATED YOU WHAT MAKES A HERO? ...read more

    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

     | 14,334 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

    Christian mothers are special people selected by God.

    Text: “Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother…” (John 19:25). Today is Mother’s Day and it is nice that the day was set aside as a special day to recognize mothers, but in reality, every day should be Mother’s Day.

    Three ways that Jesus showed kindness.

    If you were describing our world, would you describe it as a kind place? If so, just what “kind of place” are you thinking of? For instance, have you tried recently to get service in a crowded store? Were you shocked recently by something on the news? Doesn’t it seem like ...read more
