    "Is Our Sunday Service Missing Something?”

    This message examines what true worship is all about.

    Mark 8:22-26; Isaiah 6:1-8 I find it interesting that we call our “church worship gatherings” services. The definition of service is, an act of devotion to God; witness. b. A religious rite. Is that why you came to church this morning, out of devotion to God? Many people go to church with ...read more

     | 10,605 views

    Jesus is the Bread of Life and is always enough for our daily needs. Not only that but He leaves enough overflowing fragments for us to bless others.

    OUR DAILY BREAD The first part of the 8th chapter of Mark tells us of the great miracle that Jesus performed when he fed 4000 men with only 7 loaves of bread and few small fish. (In one other instance in Matthew chapter 14, Jesus had fed 5000 with only 5 loaves and two fish.) Right on the heels ...read more

    what is the soil of your heart?

    I have this against you, Jesus said, you have left your first love. Last week we learned about the carnal Christian, the one who has gotten off track, but how can it happen. How does one fall out of love? How does one transfer their affections to another? Tonight lets look at the ...read more

    Like the blind man of Bethsaida, the resurrection of Jesus brings us the power of the Second touch of God!

    The God of the Second Touch! A. Good Morning! I am reading from Mark 8:22-26… Of all the stories of Jesus we might read and study, from the perspective of a believer, this story might just be the strangest of all. 1.

    We’re sometimes slow to trust God even though He has always come through in the past.

    A LESSON IN TRUSTING “Be careful”, Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod”, (Mark 8: 15). Here we have one of those recurring occasions that take place in the ministry of Jesus - the feeding of a large crowd of people. The people came from near and ...read more

    A message about healing that comes from prolonged contact with Jesus

    Healed Through Tarrying Text: Mark 8:22-25 Had Jesus healed everybody in the same manner it would have caused men to put undue importance on the ritual of healing, and confuse that with the means of healing. People are healed by grace, or mercy, and faith. He healed people with a word (Ps. ...read more

    It talks about three reasons why asking God for a sign is not pleasing to Him.

    Whenever I am driving to a place that I’m not familiar with I am a person who needs signs. I can follow good directions with anyone. But even with directions in hand I get uncomfortable if I don’t see a sign for where I’m going. My wife can always tell when I’m a little concerned or nervous ...read more
