When Jesus Calls My Name

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Apr 21, 2006

When Jesus called Mary’s name that first Easter morning, it made a tremendous impact on her life. Jesus still calls our name and it ought to impact our lives in a similar way.

As we go through life, many different people call our name.

Sometimes that is done in a very calm, gentle, loving ...read more

Have A Scandalous Christmas

Contributed by Joel Smith on Dec 11, 2008

Mary was willing to be scandalized so that God would be glorified.

Isn’t it amazing how we have sanitized Christmas? Over the centuries we’ve cleaned up the story significantly. Christmas cards bear evidence of this. Most of them depict tinsel, holly, Christmas trees, bells, female angels, and Santa Claus. If they do get around to an image of the real ...read more

Mary: Learning To Trust God In Times Of Crisis Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on May 12, 2013

In the midst of such a crisis, what is Mary to do? She really had three choices that day: she could turn her back on God because the God she knew and understood would never allow such a thing to happen to His own son, her son. She could take matters into

Mary, Did You Know? Series

Contributed by Mike Gilbert on Dec 23, 2007

Mary might not have known the details, but today we do, and how we respond to Jesus is the most important perception and decision we’ll ever make.

Intro> Mary, did you know? It’s a beautiful song and was presented beautifully here this morning, but it’s a song that asks a singular question that is actually very easy to answer... ->NO, Mary didn’t know. --There’s no way she really would have known all that was going to occur in the life of ...read more

Putting Jesus First Isn't Easy. Series

Contributed by Michael Blitz on May 5, 2024

Martha's jealousy and anger drove her to the point where she was literally yelling at the Lord, and bossing him around. How did she get to this point? What is the point of service to God, family and church, and what can get in our way?

Good Morning. I got a fun story to start with as we dig into the story of Mary and Martha.

The Fragrance Of Worship Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Oct 20, 2015

Jesus shows us clearly the result of forgiveness is love and worship. The woman who anointed Him anointed him with her future and her singleness. Ask yourself what is your fragrant oil.

Intro: If you remember from last week Jesus went to place He shouldn’t be to talk to a woman He shouldn’t talk to. He used that woman to teach us what true worship is. Here we go again! It seems like Jesus is completely happy to tear down our ideas and presumptions about who should ...read more
