    Is giving thanks simply something we do once a year? Not according to Jesus and the bible. Giving thanks is a lifestyle to be lived out in several ways.

    Thanksgiving to Thanksliving 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 November 23, 2008 Well, here we are for another Thanksgiving and our Thanksgiving service with our Thanksgiving dinner afterwards.

    The Unexpected Jesus

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 25, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,834 views

    What do you expect from Jesus? The people, disciples, and the religious leaders had some very specific expectations of Jesus on Palm Sunday. He shattered all of them, just as He shatters our expectations as well. And that's a good thing!

    John 12:1-2, 9-19 Jesus performed an incredible miracle in raising Lazarus. It made huge waves. It wasn’t the first person Jesus raised, but it was the first who had been raised after the Jewish belief that the soul had left the body. According to the Talmud (Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin ...read more

    Resurrection Unexpected

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 1, 2013

     | 6,969 views

    No one really expected the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Today we focus on the expectations of two of those who first saw Jesus: John and Mary. What they expected, and how Jesus actually met them, can help your relationship with Jesus too.

    No one saw it coming. No one. On the Sunday following the crucifixion of Jesus Christ no one really expected what happened (or at least it they didn’t fully comprehend it). They should have. Shortly after confirming to His men that He was the Messiah, Jesus said: Mark 8:31 “The Son of ...read more

    What God expects from a church is often different from what the Church thinks he expects. This was true at Ephesus and is true at many other churches.

    Rev 2:1-7 Introduction: -Seven Golden Candlesticks are the seven churches. -Seven stars are their ministers -Why only seven of the churches – why not Troas, Miletus, Colosse, or Hieropolis? -These seven letters contain messages valuable to our church.

    Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus we to can encounter Jesus when we least expect to and where we least expect to find Him.

    If you had asked my parents what religion they were and how they had bought up their children they would have said, without hesitation, that they were Christians, and that we, my brothers Gary and Paul, and my sister Carol, and I, had been brought up in the Christian faith, except of course that my ...read more

    This Christmas season as we seek to meet our Christmas Expectations, how can we help others meet those expectations, by our being the gift.

    Be the Gift! Matthew 2:1-12 December 9, 2018 In past years we’ve talked about the art of regifting. And it is an art.
