    Body Life Series

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Feb 14, 2015
     | 5,100 views

    As Christians, we have embarked upon a new way of life. To guide us along this path, we have been given certain principles for living. These principles have been illustrated for us in the Scriptures with graphic pictures.

    Ephesians: Our Identity in Christ~Part 17 Body Life Ephesians 4:15b-16 . . . we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual ...read more

    ASH WEDNESDAY MESSAGE: We resist the "allness" of sin. David shows us that we must acknowledge it as our own, and that it has to do with our relationship to God, not just breaking rules. We have an even greater resource for our broken hearts than he had

    His words were uttered in a commanding tone. It was clear that he was displeased. And to his displeasure he added a twist, as he said to his young son, “I said shovel all the snow off all the walks. What part of ‘all’ do you not understand?” And if, as a twelve-year-old who had soon grown tired ...read more

    On the day of your life there should be a collision, both mourning and celebrating. How will you write the script for that day?

    It is a story told only in the gospel of Luke. Jesus is coming into the community of Nain and around him a crowd of his followers jostled one another to get closer to their friend and teacher. And as often is the case when a group of like-minded people gather together the sound of laughter rose ...read more

    Mind Your Busyness

    Contributed by Chip Blackshear on Jun 2, 2012
     | 7,830 views

    Like a carnival ride, our modern lives seem to be spinning out of control. But busyness is the enemy of the spiritual life. As Elijah discovered, God is not in the busyness - the earthquake, wind and fire - but in the quiet whisper.

    “MIND YOUR BUSYNESS” Luke 10:38-42 • 1 Kings 19:9-18 First Presbyterian Church, Corpus Christi, TX Rev. Charles S. Blackshear • May 6, 2012 For the past week the Buc Days carnival has been going on night and day across the street from us here with all sorts of rides ...read more

    Delivered 17 Aug 19 Tree of Life Messianic Congregation. Parsha Va'etchanan Moses tells the Children of Israel to Guard Their Souls against anything that would lead to idolatry.

    20190817 Parsha Vaetchanan – Guard Your soul Blessing Va’etchanan means ‘I pleaded’. This is the story of Moses asking God one more time to rescind his judgement prohibiting Moses from entering the promised land. Midrash says that Moses asked 515 times.

    Hold Onto Your Word

    based on 210 ratings
     | 122,631 views

    The most powerful thing you have in your life is the word of God, the devils main objective is to strip the word of God out of your life. (Hold onto your word) it makes you unsinkable.

    Lu 8:22 ¶ Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. (He went into a ship with his disciples) The ship represents your life, your destination, the course of your ...read more

    based on 131 ratings
     | 14,695 views

    Early Christians were accused of turning the world "upside-down". The ironic thing is that it already was.

    Upside-Down World Acts 17:1-9 I was 11 years old and it was summer and I was in my element. Every morning we’d pack up our stuff, climb on our bikes and head down to the neighborhood swimming pool. There were usually a gang of about 6 of us, sometimes more, sometimes less. We got to the swimming ...read more

    Introduction Have you ever been given instructions on how to do something, but you were pretty sure that you could figure it out, so you threw out the instructions?

    Do we bypass people with the good news about Jesus because we think they wouldn’t be interested because they are not like us in the way they dress or talk? How to pull down the barriers that keep us separated from people who are unlikely friends.

    Racing Is Life

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Aug 9, 2016
     | 5,785 views

    The Bible uses many sports related images. In this classic text, the writer to the Hebrews explores the image of a race to reflect upon the nature of a disciple's life.

    I am a sports fan, and the big news for me most recently is that the New Orleans Saints opened training camp on July 28th, about ten days ago, and they’re first pre-season game is only a mere thirteen days away. Not only that, but I know the local high schools are gearing up for the new ...read more

    the light of the gospel impacted on Saul in a way that would lead in the end to the gospel being proclaimed all the way to Rome, to the centre of the Roman Empire, in fact in the Emperor’s palace itself.

    It’s interesting to notice, as we read through these chapters of Acts, from 7 to 10, how there’s a theme of blindness and sight, so reminiscent of the words of Jesus at the end of John 9. [In fact let’s listen to them now.] First Stephen retells the story of the Jewish people and the members of ...read more
