    Contributed by Bob Briggs on Oct 13, 2004
    based on 31 ratings
     | 11,833 views

    Why do people not move forward with their dreams? Could it be others trying to suppress them?

    Did anyone this week decide they were living in the comfort zone of life and decide it is time to make a change, to escape the zone and move into the Borderland? It becomes an issue of dealing with the accumulation of fear which has prevented you from moving forward, in dealing with the phrase, ...read more

    Turning Hardship To Joy

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 24, 2004
    based on 54 ratings
     | 5,741 views

    Sometimes God allows things to get difficult so He can produce greater joy in and through and with us. Jesus knew that His Father often used tragedy to cause people to look to heaven for solutions to their problems.

    John 15:11-16 Illustration: A cynic asked an elderly believer who had endured great physical pain for 20 years, "What do you think of your God now?" The godly sufferer replied, "I think of Him more than ever." Sorrow can be the means of bringing us heart-to-heart with God. When repeated strokes ...read more

    How Does God's Word Taste?

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Apr 25, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 3,171 views

    Some love the taste of God’s Word, others hate. The way God’s Word taste to us will determine the way we live our lives here and it will determine where we spend eternity.

    “How does it taste?” If that isn’t the most asked question on cooking shows, I don’t know what is. What do you suppose is the most popular response to that question? “It tastes gross!” No, I don’t think I’ve ever heard that response before. After all, if you’re good enough to have your own cooking ...read more

    Pursue The Good Of Others Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 5, 2005
    based on 19 ratings
     | 4,759 views

    Jesus wants us to "do good" and "save lives", to show concern for the physical and spiritual needs of people. Let us pursue the good of others, and seize every opportunity to do so.

    Jesus pursued the good of other people. • He did it in his healings; he did it in his teachings. • In fact, Jesus lived his entire life for the good of other people. • We are all beneficiaries of that life - He died ultimately for our good. Today, we are called to live such a life. • As ...read more

    A well-kept vine will bear good fruit.

    On the subject of pruning, Mark and I didn’t do much gardening at all last year. We mowed the lawn every so often, trimmed the front hedge back a couple of times, and had a lot of good intentions for deadheading the roses and other flowers and bushes. The problem was that the longer we left it the ...read more

    Get Out Of The Box

    based on 29 ratings
     | 21,311 views

    Believers today need a fresh "out of the box" experience. Stepping out brings a new found freedom and experience for all.

    Get Out of the Box Text: Mt 14:28-29 Introduction: In our world today, most people fear stepping out into a new opportunity more than they fear missing out on a new opportunity. The longer we tolerate something, the longer it dictates our life experience. We will never change our system of beliefs ...read more

    A Deacon Ordination

    based on 21 ratings
     | 27,875 views

    Used at the ordination of Warren Kellum as deacon of our church.

    The word “deacon” means servant. Nothing fancy. Nothing extra-ordinary. A deacon is a servant. Now believe it or not, that can lead to some confusion. Because when a group of people calls someone to be their servant, they begin to take the attitude that while the servant serves, they are to sit and ...read more

    Why should we fear the devil if he is a defeated foe?

    Who’s Afraid of The Big Bad Wolf …. Exhort, lift up God and get in one mind. But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of ...read more

    Churches need some good old fashioned "fire" these days....

    Acts 2:1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place2And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.3And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on ...read more

    A message in an expository series on the Book of Galatians.

    “Understanding Freedom in Christ” Galatians 2:1-10 In our text Paul is continuing to craft his argument to call the Galatians back to the freedom of the Gospel. As we saw in the very first message Paul was greatly alarmed at how easily the Galatians had allowed themselves to be led back into ...read more

    Carrying the Second Bulb 4-22-07 John 21:1-19 We all know from history class that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in 1879.

    Acceptance And Rejection

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 25, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,565 views

    We know what both acceptance and rejection feel like. What must God feel at our rejection of Him? In Jesus He turns around our rejection into His acceptance of us. We can accept our acceptance.

    “He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him.” Do you have experience with both acceptance and rejection? I imagine you do. No one is so fortunate as to have had everything he wants, and so we have all experienced rejection. And no one is so hard-up that she has been ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,437 views

    Knowing persecution can cause an attitude of insecurity, cliques and disharmony, Paul calls for the church to be in one accord, harmony, and humility, following the example of Christ himself.

    INTRODUCTION A. Thus Far in Series of Philippians Last week, we saw that just as Paul was being persecuted from a false tongue, so the Philippian congregation was being persecuted the same way. Paul’s advice to the church was to conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of ...read more
