    Easter 4: Good Shepherd Sunday - Jesus fulfills his role as the great shepherd of the sheep. He knows them, cares for them, gathers them from all over the earth, dies for them and raises them to new life.

    Hey, I want you to do something for me. I want you to pretend to be a sheep. No, not a sheep in a metaphorical sort of way – but I want you to put yourself in the position of a real, four-legged, wooly sheep. Your task over the next few minutes will be to look at life and look at the world from ...read more

    Jesus opens His Kingdom manifesto not with rules but with congratulations. He blesses the weak, the weeping, and the overlooked. These “blessings” are grace-filled announcements that reorient how we see God, ourselves, and the world.

    When the worries of life press us down, we do not have to bear them alone! Notice how much of our burden we are supposed to give to the Lord. "All your care" We are told to give it all up to Jesus!

    Peter's sifting was no match for Jesus' prayer. God's plan is for His people to always overcome every trial and every test that the devil can send against us.

    Down But Never Out Sunday a.m., January 31, 2010 By Pastor James May This has been a week that I will long remember.

    It All Comes Down To This

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 8, 2023
     | 1,650 views

    It all comes down to this… It’s a phrase we’ve all used at some point or another. It speaks of a defining moment—a critical stage in your life—a momentous occasion. A point in life where everything changes. In one way or another, nothing will be the same from this point on.

    It Comes Down to This Luke 24:1-12 I am not a football fan. As a matter of fact, I’m really not a fan of any kind of sports. Now, I love to play golf, and maybe some other games, but I really dislike sitting and watching games. Unless it’s maybe an HS game, and I know some of the players, but ...read more
