    Beware Of The Judas Mentality

     | 13,865 views

    Judas began his walk with the Lord just as every one of the other 11 disciples, but he developed a mentality of "controlling the bag" that led to his downfall. He abandoned Jesus for the sake of worldly gain and didn't give God his all.

    Beware of the Judas Mentality Sunday, April 3, 2011 By Pastor James May I am glad to be a part of a church where we can see the Love of God in the hearts of people. Your love for the Lord is displayed in so many ways. Every time you worship him, you show your love or God. Every time you sing ...read more

    Have you ever wanted something so badly from God that you were willing to not let Him go until you got it?

    If you could go back and get an accurate count, how many decisions do you think you made last year? If the truth were to be known, the number would probably be in the tens or even hundreds of thousands, wouldn’t it? Now, exactly what is a decision? A decision is a point in time where you ...read more

    Like the Pharisees we are often content to live out the letter of the Law but God is looking for the hearth that seeks to live out the spirit of His word. Living by grace is a higher calling then living by the Law!

    Can You Have God's Gifts Without God's Blessing Series

    Samson demonstrated that it is possible to experience the gifts and power of God without the blessing of God. God gives people abilities to accomplish His purposes, but that in no way guarantees that they will seek to know Him or follow His ways.

    When we look in the book of Hebrews Chapter 11 which is called "The Heroes of the Faith" we see where the Bible lists Samson as a hero of the faith the unknown writer of Hebrews say’s in (Heb. 11:32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of ...read more

    Jesus' message to the church at Ephesus reminds us of the need to love Jesus and each other.

    There were once two newlyweds on their honeymoon. They were taking a train ride cross country. The bride was becoming a little self conscious about all the fanfare of being a new married couple.
