    1. The importance of listening to and obeying Jesus. 2. Encountering God when our resources are depleted. 3. The necessity of casting our nets where the fish are.

    Today's scripture takes place on the Sea of Tiberias (also known as the Sea of Galilee). The disciples, feeling down after the tragic events leading to Jesus' death, have returned to their fishing profession in Galilee. They have spent the entire night fishing but caught nothing.

     | 3,726 views

    Proposition: When you are suffering, it is easier to agonize over the loss of God’s outward blessing and proper relationship to God Himself, than keep an upbeat attitude and keep from sinning in one’s inward spirit.

    This Old Testament account of King David leads us to consider the temptations that we face and the holy life Jesus calls us to live in his Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:21-37.

    “How did this happen?” Have you ever read or heard a news story that just left you with that thought? “How did this happen?” I think that there were quite a few people that felt that way last Sunday afternoon as the heard the news of the 41 yar-old basketball superstar, Kobe Bryant’s death. ...read more

    We also receive our call at just the right time. How often do we rush into something and end up failing because we ran ahead of God? How many times have we decided to go in a different direction because we did not have the patience to wait for him?

    based on 25 ratings
     | 11,173 views

    Prayer is one of the seven marks of discipleship our elders have identified for our church. But in our prayer life, we often struggle over the issue of unanswered prayer.

    I read a story once about a woman who was dying in a hospital bed. Her two daughters were by her side. All day one of the daughters had been praying vigorously and passionately. But when the family’s pastor came to the hospital room, one of the daughters whispered to him, "I just can’t seem to get ...read more

    Just as Memorial Day reminds us of the advantages the deaths of others in armed struggle have brought us, we must take advantage of Christ’s death and the benefits it brings us.

    Memorial Day reminds us fallen heroes still speak. Established in 1868 as a day to honor the fallen soldiers of the just concluded Civil War, Memorial Day has grown into a recognition of all our nation’s war dead and the high price of our freedoms. We must make Christ’s death for us count. The ...read more
