    Sensing God - Touch Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 15, 2018
     | 8,206 views

    This message is part of a series on understanding God through our senses. The focus is the transforming touch of Jesus who is willing to identify with us in our sinfulness. The touch of Jesus we can use to bring transformation to the world.

    How many of you remember the first time that you held hands with a significant other person in your life. Maybe it was your first girlfriend - the girl at school who was going out with Jeff all week, but dumped him on Friday morning.

    Manage Your Emotional Energy Series

     | 5,423 views

    In order to love others, we must have enough emotional energy in our tanks. We must be aware of where we are emotionally. We must be aware of what drains us emotionally. And we must be aware of what replenishes us emotionally.

    Manage Your Emotional Energy YOLO Part 4 Luke 5:12-16 We are currently going through the message series: YOLO. “You only live once.” It is true that we only live once. However, what does this imply? We only live once, therefore, we must live our one and only life meaningfully. In order to do ...read more

    Reach Out And Touch Someone

    Contributed by Chip Blackshear on Dec 3, 2016
     | 7,550 views

    Although He didn't need to, Jesus usually healed people by touching them. Human touch is very powerful and it can actually bring us closer to God.

    This morning I want to talk about a very “touchy” subject. No, I don’t mean politics. For the past couple of months we have been discussing off and on the five senses and how we use them to know God better and today we’ve come to the fifth and final message in this series. ...read more

    Full - Pt. 5 - Prayer Full Series

    We prefer full over empty! Jesus says He came that we might have abundant (full) life. Do we? Do we even know what we should be full of?

    Full Pt. 5 - Prayer Full I. Introduction Are you full? If so, what are you full of? Your "fullness" will determine what overflows to every area of your life. And yet the truth is that if we find ourselves closer to the "e" than the "f" we are in the majority. In a recent study of 1,000 churches ...read more

    Sermon # 49 - Value What God Values Series

     | 302 views

    Jonah had more pity for the plant that gave him a little shade than for the people of Nineveh who had repented and thereby were saved from God’s wrath and judgement. May we learn to value people over things and traditions and love them like Jesus did.

    We read in Jonah 4:10, “The LORD said to him, "This plant grew up in one night and disappeared the next; you didn't do anything for it and you didn't make it grow—yet you feel sorry for it!” (GNB) Jonah sat outside the city of Nineveh and eagerly watched to see what would become of ...read more

    As Jesus ministered in the region of Galilee, He did some things that some thought to be strange. As a result they glorified God!

    A few years ago, there was a series release on streaming services called “Stranger Things.” The series took place in a small town where strange events were happening - supernatural encounters, weird creatures, fissures into things that seemed like a mirror image of our world. It was truly filled ...read more

    Four Wonderful Miracles (The Messianic Miracles Of The Lord)

    Contributed by Eric Hanson on Feb 29, 2024
     | 3,833 views

    The Pharisees and the rabbinical school taught that when the Messiah came, he would do certain miracles that nobody had ever done before. In this sermon, you will see that Jesus fulfilled this template perfectly, but was rejected by the Sanhedrin anyway.

    Four Wonderful Miracles Pastor Eric J. Hanson March 3rd 2024 This message is designed to give us a look at how Jesus revealed himself to be the Messiah (anointed one and coming King) of the Jews. In the process of this revelation, He revealed a great heart of love and compassion for the people. He ...read more

    No one is too troubled or unclean to be touched by Jesus. Jesus still welcomes outcasts today. Whom can you welcome in today? How many people have you touched with the Love of Jesus?

    Jesus was amazingly sensitive to a leper. It's a great example of how we need to be, because, in a sense, we're all lepers now.

    Too Big For Us To Understand

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 7, 2025

    Jesus, in His compassion for us mentally and spiritually wounded humans, used His Sacred Body in His ministry, and used material things in His contact with men and women.

    Friday after the Epiphany 2025 Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was descended from King David, as Matthew’s Gospel tells us, but more fundamentally, He was a real human being, a real man, ultimately the offspring of Adam and Eve. Luke’s Gospel, in the third chapter, takes us all the way back ...read more

    God is no respecter of persons. If we will do what others have done we will be able to recovery from problems in our lives as well.

    THE ROAD TO RECOVERY While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." 13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man.
