    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,668 views

    This message is to challenge listeners to lay aside excuses (biblical buts) and to begin seeking Him in every area of our lives.

    Daring to Make a Stand for God Today’s verses teach me about “Biblical Buts". Biblical buts? Yes, we all have buts. Some are small, but most are usually pretty big. Although some may be bigger than others, we all have them. Some are so big that others try to hide behind them. ...read more

    Childishness And Small Religion

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 62 views

    Jesus calls us to lay down childish stubbornness and take His hand in trusting, growing childlikeness that welcomes the Kingdom.

    Have you noticed that Jesus holds two ideas in tension? He tells us to be childlike …and also warns us not to be childish. Only Jesus can say, “Become as little children” and “Grow up”…in the very same breath. He sees what we cannot. He can tell the difference. Our passage today is Luke 7:31-35. ...read more

    Jesus said that without Him we can do nothing. Our problem is we all put limitations on ourselves and God! It’s time for us to take the limits off of ourselves and off of God!

    In John 10: 17 we hear Jesus say: “....I lay down my life---only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own accord.” Jesus was not a victim; He was a volunteer. Why did He volunteer to die for you?
