    Zacchaeus was a litle man in his own eyes and in the people’s eyes; but not to Jesus. There are no insignificant people to Jesus, nor should there be to us. Jesus can give us "People Eyes" like his.

    NO LITTLE PEOPLE (or PEOPLE EYES) Luke 19:1-10 Intro: A young woman’s car stalled at a light. The light turned green. The car behind her actually had room to go around but didn’t.

     | 5,221 views

    What is this thing called confirmation? What does it have to do with baptism? Is it even in the Bible or just vain human tradition? Let’s look at how the biblical term “laying on of hands” is confirmation, and that it is found in the list of basic doctrines of Hebrews 6:1-2.

    It’s easy to hold to convictions when there is no tension and strife in your life. But how pertinent are your principles, how firm are your convictions, when you are challenged by a man of God to do something that goes against your core beliefs? No; how s

    Are you ready to receive 3000 people today? 1000?500? 5? 1? What do we need to do to prepare to receive those that God has placed just outside our doors?

    Tell the person next to you, “It’s no coincidence… that you are here.” “God brought you here!” We need to understand that the only reason people talk about God, or come to church, is because God draws them. That is why we need to be prepared. Bob called his wife from work in the middle of the ...read more

    There were all kinds of people at the Cross. What distinguished these groups of people? The condition of their souls, their spiritual heart attitudes. Around the Cross of Jesus, we can see people who demonstrated some contrasting heart conditions.
