    Five Plus Two Does Not Equal Seven

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 10, 2015
     | 4,478 views

    Following Jesus is a radical lifestyle, and Jesus asks us if we are willing to do the same. Are we willing to give up some of what we have, that others might not go hungry? Are we willing to give out of what God has given to us

    Contributed by Bill Butsko on Sep 3, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,852 views

    Christ Longs to make a "Triumphal Entry" into our hearts but our expectations of who Christ is “supposed” to be can keep us from receiving Christ as He actually is.

Nerreau Introduction: • Have you ever listened to someone on the radio and then seen them in person? They are never what you expect.

    Faith is not about a church doctrine or power or privilege. It is about service to others-service to the point of sacrifice. It can be expressed equally through individual actions and experiences.

    What is the one human quality that drives us to success while causing all sorts of problems at the same time? It is ambition. Ambition is one of the driving forces in our lives. It propels us to excel in our jobs. It pushes us to reach our goals. It can give us a reason for living. Ambition is one ...read more

We are still dealing with the message Jesus preached to the multitudes. His focus has shifted somewhat, but He ...read more
