    A story is told of Two hunters who came across a bear so big that they dropped their rifles and ran for cover. One man climbed a tree while the other hid in a nearby cave.

    This sermon teaches us the importance of allowing our faith to be stretched.

    Have you done anything in your faith walk recently that stretched you? We use the term “stretch” to refer to growth, development and learning. I must admit, it goes against human nature to be stretched. There is a popular story that illustrates our reluctance to be stretched. Ill- A man was ...read more

    Risk It

    Life is not about playing it safe, nor is the Christian faith. Faith requires that we take risk, just like Peter took a risk stepping out of the boat.

    Many of you might remember the Lethal Weapons movies of a few years back. In these movies there was a good safe cop who did things conservatively, by the book, who wasn’t in to taking unnecessary risks. Then there was the character played by Mel Gibson who was always taking risks. He would jump ...read more

    So often we either sit like a knot on a log and refuse to seek God’s purpose for our lives or we do seek God’s purpose and realize just how difficult it can be to fulfill it.

    Leaving the boat to get on board. A. John the Baptist had just been beheaded by King Herod. Because of the rat race that was going on Jesus got his disciples in a boat and headed away for a little R and R. The crowds noticed Jesus and his disciples heading away from town, across the lake, so ...read more

    God doesn’t want us to merely tread water, He wants to rescue us as we place our faith in Him and cry out for His help.

    Too many Christians settle for simply treading water -In their physical lives -In their spiritual lives -Treading water may keep you safe (at least for a while), but it will never get you anywhere -Peter learned a bit about this truth -Matthew 14:22-33 -Let's look at Peter's progression I. ...read more

    Beginning To Sink

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 19, 2013
     | 7,335 views

    The story of Peter walking on the water and beginning to sink provides excellent lessons for us to prevent us from beginning to sink in the trouble waters of life.

    There are two sights in human life which fill the heart with profound sorrow. The first sight is that of a person who has sunk amid the troubled waters of life. It is the one whose once youthful face is no more because of rough, hard living. It is the person who had a good raising, who wore good ...read more

    Doing Something Extra With The Ordinary

    Contributed by Stephen Epps on Sep 10, 2013

    Faith is a reductionism of the greatest kind. For in Jesus, the "extraordinary" is nothing more than the "ordinary" things in life PUT TOGETHER to achieve an "extraordinary" feat.

    Beloved, I would like to engage your hearts and minds for the next few minutes, from the subject, “Doing Something Extra With The Ordinary” Beloved, in his painting “Walking on the Water”, one can nearly hear the rhythmic splashing underneath. One can almost feel the ...read more
