     | 13,512 views

    We continue looking at the astounding mathematics of grace by looking at a widow's very small offering that Jesus says is more than anyone else gave. I also have graphics available.

    (Show video of comedian Anthony Griffith talking about hand-me-downs) That's funny. Hand-me-downs, leftovers; those things are okay I guess if you're talking about old clothes or your mom's cooking. But there are other times when leftovers aren't such a good idea: handkerchiefs, motor oil, maybe ...read more

    Pure Extravagant Love

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Jun 23, 2014
     | 5,067 views

    The longer we know Him the more we love Him, and the more we want to love Him. Our love for Him becomes an extravagant love. There is nothing too great to do for Him; nothing too much to give.

    Pure Extravagant Love Mark 14:1-9 1. Now the Passover and Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize Him by stealth and kill Him; 2. for they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the ...read more

    Psalm 1 sets forth the character and lifestyle of a righteous person. This “good man” described here does not “freewheel”; that is, he has some rules, some standards by which he lives. He doesn’t take his cues from what those about him are doing.

Text: (Psalm 1) 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in ...read more

    When the unbelieving world looks at the Christian, they have a difficult time figuring us out. In terms of their own world view, the way we Christians live doesn't make a lot of sense.

    Extravagant Love Mark 14:1-9 1. Now the Passover and Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize Him by stealth and kill Him; 2. for they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the ...read more
