    Servant Leaders are blessed with the ability of learning from the past experiences, realities of the present and the possible consequences of our decisions for future. This is foresight

    Servant Leadership Part 12: Foresight I have been talking about Servant Leadership in my many sermons from this pulpit before. However, I keep wondering if we still consider Servant leadership as some thing abstract, some thing utopian, unreal, not practicable? Or is there a reason for us to adapt ...read more

     | 1,289 views

    Jesus’ sacrifice on Calvary didn’t just happen 2,000 years ago, but before time began. He's the Lamb slain from before time. Today, His blood is still speaking. In Rev. 5 He's seen as a wounded Lamb & in His 2nd Coming wears a vesture dipped in blood!

    THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION Rev. 13:8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard a funny story about the dangers of falling asleep in church. One man said, 2. “I fell asleep in church.

    based on 1 rating
     | 809 views

    The Resurrection was inescapable because Death had no legal right to hold Jesus. Jesus was the Creator, He predated death, and God the Father had prophesied that Jesus would rise. It’s fulfillment was inescapable!

    THE INESCAPABLE RESURRECTION Mt. 28:1-7; Lk. 24:36-44 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Five-year-old Brian had a pivotal verse to recite in an Easter program: “He is not here, he is risen” (Luke 24:6).

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,147 views

    We celebrate the values of Freedom by our Founding Fathers. And we celebrate the "freedom" from the fear of death because Jesus conquered death and proves His authority is from God, freeing people from demon possession, disease & death.

     | 6,414 views

    The development of a sentient, all-knowing being is shaking up civilization. Will it be like God? Will it have a soul? Will it make humans obsolete? Will it be able to replace pastors? Is this a fulfillment of Bible prophecy?

     | 4,324 views

    Decaffeinated Christianity, like decaffeinated coffee, won't wake you up, it won't perk you up, it won't keep you up and it won't get you up; it's just there. It looks right, smells right, almost tastes right -- but NO POWER!

    DECAFFEINATED CHRISTIANITY Rev. 3:1 INTRODUCTION A. COFFEE HUMOR 1. How did the hipster burn their mouth? They drank their coffee before it was cool. 2. Why did the barista get fired?

    Moses' writings conclude by stating there has not been a prophet like Moses since, yet he tells us a new prophet will come. Who is this prophet and what does it mean for us?

    A New Prophet- Deuteronomy 18:15-22 We are the New Testament Church. As such, we like to study the New Testament. After all, that’s where we learn about Jesus. That’s where we see how the church was formed. That’s the part that prepares us for what’s to come. Sometimes, we get ...read more

    Who is the Holy Spirit? I think back to my days in Sunday School learning about the Trinity. For me, it was easier to understand the Father and Christ, his Son. They were easy to imagine. Afterall, how many pictures from the Renaissance depicted them. Just look at the Sistine Chapple. But ...read more
