    The Lord not only gives us four choices of the way to live our lives, but He gives us the answer.

    I want to focus on verse 19, ‘I have set before you life and death…blessing and cursing… We see by this scripture that it’s God’s permissive will that comes into play…He will always give us a choice…but He will never force anything on us…let’s read the rest of that verse again…‘…therefore, choose ...read more

    The Emotional Life

     | 10,128 views

    So oftentimes, emotions function like the lights on our dashboard. When the engine light comes on, something needs to be paid attention to.

    Today I want to talk about our emotional life. Maybe this is an area for you that seems out-of-control for you. Or perhaps the opposite: you feel a bit dead, almost feeling-less. Recently Time magazine even ran an article about how to handle your emotions during tough economic times. I’m ...read more

    Are we living in the sunlight with Jesus or are we still stuck in a place of death?

    The Way of Life Easter Sunday, Apr 24, 2011 Intro: Who would ever have dreamt that the place to find life was at a tomb? A tomb is not a place of life, it is a place of death. A place where people we loved and who have died are buried. I’ve stood at many gravesides, and they are solemn, ...read more

    Life is like many different things that we experience in this world.

    INTRO.- One thing we all know is that life is not easy. There are hills and valleys. There are good days and bad. There are positives and negatives.

    There are different kinds of vessels in the house of God. So you will do well to examine what kind of vessel you are. Let me clear one thing before we go deeper into this message: God will not accept any excuse from anyone for not being a useful vessel.

    Our message this week, is what I call “The thorns of life.” Genesis 3:17-19 says, “And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee saying, thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy ...read more

    Following His encounter with the rich, young ruler, Jesus discussed the difficulty of salvation for those distracted by pleasures. We are making an investment in something that eventually will pay dividends. Invest wisely!

    The Dividends of Life Mark 10: 23-31 Our text today reveals the benefit of expositional Bible study – considering the Scriptures verse by verse, line by line. While it would be possible to grasp the truth of this text without such an approach, it bears more weight when considered in the context of ...read more
