    Mixing It Up Series

    Contributed by Josh Foster on Mar 18, 2014
     | 6,826 views

    Advent is not so much about shopping; it’s not so much about lists and baking and decorations. Rather, Advent points us to the One who came and will come again. A ‘ready life’ is one lived through the power of His Spirit to serve Him in holiness.

    God asks us to help build His ONE church - and how we measure things can make all the difference in how the local church turns out. What measuring stick does God want us to use in making the right measurements?

    (This sermon was preached at our annual “Unity” service, where we bring our English, Spanish, and Burmese churches together for one big worship service. On this occasion, we ordained one Hispanic man to the preaching ministry and another as an Elder for the Hispanic church). OPEN: Years ago I ...read more

    Some people need to be followed-up ad infinitum in order to win them for Christ!

    Follow-up! “Let's go back and visit each city where we previously preached the word of the Lord, to see how the new believers are doing'” (Acts 15:36).

    I don’t know if this has ever happened to you but it happens to me way too often. I meet someone and at first blush I’m excited because they seem to be as committed to the same ideas as me. However, over time, I realize we aren’t alike as I thought.

    Swallowed Up

     | 5,492 views

    Any time you run from God, you never go “up"; you always go “down.” God sometimes allows us to face frightening circumstances so that we will learn to trust and obey Him. It’s always best to obey the Lord right away - then we won’t be “swallowed up.”

    Opening illustration: Being shocked by electricity can be very dangerous. Just ask professional golf legend Lee Trevino. He was struck by lightning while sitting under a tree during a tournament several years ago. He said, “It bolted my arms and legs out stiff, jerked me off the ...read more

    How can a sinful people live in intimate daily communion with a Holy God?

    Leviticus is probably one of the most difficult books in the Bible. The material in it ranges from unpleasant to incomprehensible and back again, with one or two flashes of clarity and simplicity almost as if to catch us off our guard.

    Take Up My Cross And Follow Me

    Though we fall again and again, it is the getting up that marks the true child of God. So, we offer our lives in surrender to Christ’s purpose. The waters of our baptism renew in us the willing spirit that says, “Yes” to our own taking up the cross.

    In the famous words of the late American news commentator Paul Harvey, Matthew 16:21-28 is “the rest of the story”. It is a continuation from Matthew 16:13-20, in which Peter acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God. Now Jesus is telling his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem to ...read more
