    In Jerusalem this week, President Bush and Prime Minister Olmert met as well as other mid-east officials to work on yet another middle-east peace process.

     | 4,563 views

    We need to get back to the first-century approach to our walk with the Lord, caring for each other, loving each other, each individual Christian doing whatever he or she can for any child of God.

    Is what is in your head also in your heart?

    Baby and the Beautician Luke 13:22-30 In 1977 I decided to become a licensed boat captain. It was during that time that I had the opportunity to meet a man named “Baby”.

    Yeast And The Narrow Way

    Contributed by Richard Francis on May 19, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,664 views

    This is about the yeast of the Holy Spirit working in us, making us more like Jesus, helping us to walk the narrow way between the kingdom of this earth and the kingdom of God as we strive to serve Jesus.

    The woman and the yeast, the Kingdom of God is… Luke 13: verse 20 - 21 Again he asked, "What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.“ Yeast is also referred to as Leaven Leaven was a ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 7,547 views

    Do all religions lead to God? Aren’t they really just different paths to the same place, different perspectives on the same thing, different names for the same “higher power”? Tempting, but then we confront Jesus.

    Do All Religions Lead To God? Luke 13:22-30; Acts 17:16-23 May 29, 2005 Intro: Do all religions lead to God? Aren’t they really just different paths to the same place, different perspectives on the same thing, different names for the same “higher power”? Isn’t the important thing that we all ...read more

    December 1989: Jesus is building His kingdom, and some who presume they are included are missing it, while some we think unworthy will be included. This is a day in which we must stretch our outreach to include all persons.

    The folks who are into real estate will tell you that there are only three factors which enter into the value of a piece of property.

    When The Door Is Shut

     | 12,693 views

    To find the door we must find Christ. To know the way we must know Jesus but to enter in, Jesus must know us for salvation is from God through Jesus.

    When The Door Is Shut 09/13/09 AM Text/Reading: Luke 13:22-30 Introduction I was listening to a radio broadcast on a local Christian radio station while on the way into work one morning and there was a discussion that revolved around opportunities in life and one of the speakers made the statement: ...read more

    In the Pharisees' hammering out of the truth, they missed Jesus' point. The real question wasn’t, “How many are going to be saved?” The real question was, “Are you going to be saved?”

    Intro Swollen and bloated with pride, convinced their conclusions were correct, the Jewish rabbis hunkered down to refute the other side. So who was the other side? They were other Jewish rabbis. Some of them were saying that everyone who was Jewish would be saved. Others were saying that only ...read more

    "Someone" (vs 23) asks a general question but God desires personal questons... Thoughts on our walk toward the Narrow Door. Can be a very fun sermon. A call for people to have a deeper walk with God. Concluding sugestions at the end of sermon.

    In some of our previous messages I shared from: 1) Luke 13:31-35 where Jesus weeps for Jerusalem. The Pharisees have a pretense of caring for Jesus by warning Him of Herod's plans to kill Him, all while they themselves desire to do just that. We also talked about the animal imagery used in the ...read more

    Jesus teaches us about the "narrow door" of salvation. We are warned to avoid the "broad" way that leads to destruction.

    Are You Listening? Luke 13.22-30 The Bible is the most important book in the world. It is God’s word, and it clearly reveals the truth of this world. It is the cradle of Christ and the message of salvation. Of all the things we do in this life... work, eat, sleep, care for our ...read more
