    Be Quiet, Be Still And Behave

     | 26,814 views

    Being quiet and still drives us nuts! But we are told in Scripture to seek God in the stillness -- not in the noise and busy-ness of life.

    If there is one thing that drives us almost insane, If there is one thing that we cannot stand, If there is one thing that makes us uncomfortable it’s... (The sermon begins with the pastor standing in the pulpit, and simply standing for a full minute, doing nothing but waiting, seeming to be ...read more

    Self Service Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 28, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,064 views

    As Christians we desire to do things for the Lord. But sometimes we are really just doing them for ourselves. Learn how to spot self service and your attitudes while serving.

    Most Christians understand that belonging to the Lord means we serve Him and will do things that He tells us to do. We like to think that we do it because we are so thankful for what He has done, or because Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel and make disciples or because we see the example of ...read more

    A comparision between our actions around Christmas to that of Mary and Martha.

    How many of you have braved the malls and stores through the busy times this Christmas season? I think you will agree that it can be a very hectic and stressful time for both our bodies and for our checkbooks. I have heard a number of stories from people telling me this.

     | 18,749 views

    Using the disciple Andrew as a model, we should all avoid the daily distractions of life to keep our eyes on God and his work.

    Distractions I. According to history, the disciple Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist, yet as soon as Christ came in to his life, his focus changed. A. John 1:35-40. He left the ministry of John the Baptist immediately and followed Christ. B. In John 1:41 he introduced Jesus to ...read more

    IMPACT! Do you ever wonder what kind of an impact you have on your family, friends or people in general? Do you stop to consider how your life matters in this world? Life is precious. It is a gift from God. And every one of us matters to someone. But sometimes I stop and ...read more

    Too Far In Either Direction

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 17, 2010
     | 2,804 views

    Learning from Mary and Martha’s responses, we can see why it is important to maintain a proper balance between discipleship and spiritual work.

    OUR SPIRITUAL LIVES CAN SOMETIMES BE LIKENED TO A PENDULUM OF A CLOCK. ONE DAY OUR FAITH SWINGS FORWARD IN ZEAL AND DESIRE AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT OUR FAITH SWINGS BACKWARD BY THE FORCES OF BUSYNESS AND DISTRACTIONS. IT IS TRULY A FINE BALANCE BETWEEN DOING TOO MUCH FOR GOD AND STEPPING BACK AND ...read more

    Mary and Martha both knew Jesus, but Mary was doing what was more important. Sometimes, we need to spend time dedicated to God, and away from the fast paced, hectic way of the world.

    Distracted, Deaf, and Disturbed Luke 10:38-42 Introduction The story from today’s gospel message centers on the actions of two individuals, Martha and Mary. The Apostle John tells us that Martha and Mary were the sisters of Lazarus and very close to Jesus. It’s ...read more
