    Is the gospel really getting rooted into your heart, or is it being choked and killed through neglect and the cares of life?

    ROOTS By Pastor Jim May How many of you have a green thumb? I can’t make that claim. It seems that I have a hard time making anything grow the way that it should. Last spring I decided to plant a small garden. I don’t have a tractor or a tiller so I had to break up the ground with a shovel. ...read more

    What In Hell Do You Want?

    What’s so great about Hell that has you acting such a fool? How come nobody told you that Hell is bad?

    I came to talk about Hell today. Because I think we have a misunderstanding of this concept. Its not just a word but some of us think of it that way. You can walk down the street any given day and hear it tossed about loosely with reckless abandon. One minute you’ll hear somebody say its cold ...read more

    Be Quiet, Be Still And Behave

    based on 88 ratings
     | 26,841 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

    The Christian Eula Series

    based on 16 ratings
     | 5,062 views

    Ever wonder what you are signing up for with Jesus Christ? Luke 9 gives us some practical examples of the principals in the Christian discipleship.

    Do you know what a "EULA" is? It’s not a form of Hawaiian dance. It’s not what you say about a person at a funeral. It stands for "End User License Agreement." If you have ever installed a piece of computer software, you have encountered a EULA. It’s that huge mass of legal garbly-gook full of ...read more

     | 13,888 views

    Know the heart of God for the lost. Looking at the life of Jesus, we come to understand what is needed to reach the lost - compassion.

    Sometime in July, we were looking at this passage during our prayer meeting: • Somehow I was drawn to one particular word, in verse 7. • Jesus says, “I tell you that in the same way, there will be MORE rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous persons who do not need to ...read more
