    We may have been saved from evil, but each of us must take care not to fall prey to foolishness.

    FOLLOWING JESUS There have been times in my life that I have made the mistake of doing things my way.

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Dec 29, 2005
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,825 views

    The name Jesus means, "God Saves." The name declares who Jesus is and what Jesus was born to do. Jesus saves us from our sins, but also for an abundant life.

    Luke 2:21-40 “What’s In A Name?” INTRODUCTION Names are very important to us. We are often admonished by parents to, “keep the family name,” which is translated, “don’t do anything stupid or illegal.” Some people go through life struggling with the name they were given, like the character in ...read more

    Compelling look at the story of Jesus in the Temple from an innovative perspective (with scholarly support). A message for the whole church; not just parents. Good illustrations.

    Growing our hearts three sizes larger takes not only giving but a redemptive type of giving. It seeks the best for others and is carried out with a sense of rejoicing

    A few of you understand the sermon title but some will be mystified by the word "meh". Is there someone who would like to try to define it for us? It is a slang term that communicates an attitude of apathy or indifference toward something. My favorite definition is that meh is a verbal shrug. What ...read more
