    Looking at Jesus’ Temple cleansing, we can see He was a social revolutionary and a rebel against the culture, even the religious culture. This sermon calls people to rebel as well, as long as they’re obeying God.

    John 2:13-25 – Called to be Rebels You may have heard of Emily Post. She was born in the early 1870’s and died in 1960. She was the Martha Stewart of her day.

    Peter and John returned to their homes after seeing the empty tomb. Mary Magadalene, on the other hand, tarried at the tomb longing to see Jesus. As a result she could proclaim to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord."

    I Have Seen the Lord Introduction Good to be back from vacation- and yes, contrary to last weeks speaker, I did take a vacation. I do understand where Pastor Jay is coming from- many Christians do not have a sense of laboring in the fields or building God’s Kingdom. I do believe it is good to ...read more

    God wants us to be more than minimal. Acknowledge that Christ is Lord, make sure our witness is clear, go beyond quick thrills, and be faithful, and your faith will sustain you over the long haul.

    Too often, we choose "getting by", when we could choose "getting over". Too often, we try to skimp on life, hoping not to invest too deeply. That’s "getting by". But we could turn to a better answer. We could choose "getting over". "Getting by" and "getting over" are not the same thing. "Getting ...read more

    No matter how long it takes, and how many times we might fail the test, if we just keep on being faithful, God will bring us to a place of victory and fruitfulness. Faithfulness is all that matters in the end.

    The Slow Learner Sunday, April 06, 2008 By Pastor Jim May If you are like me, and I think that most people are, then you are sometimes a little slow to learn the truths of the Bible and the ways of God.
