    Dissatisfaction Or Fulfillment? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 2, 2003
    based on 41 ratings
     | 6,299 views

    Like Judas, despite all we have, we feel dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction comes from too small a vision of where our lives must go or depending on others to give us meaning. A relationship with Jesus gives us redemption and release.

    Willy Loman is the central character in Arthur Miller’s play, “Death of a Salesman”. Willy had known only one thing all his life, and that was selling. Selling, pitching, cajoling, persuading, making the sale. That was it. His wife played second fiddle to selling. His children tried to please, ...read more

     | 7,628 views

    In observance of my 17th anniversary as pastor; to worship is to become available for God’s purposes, which mean being sent to unreceptive and impossible situations. Can we dream impossible dreams about our church’s building, properties, ministries with

    based on 27 ratings
     | 4,473 views

    How do we receive the Holy Spirit? Can one be a Christian and not have the Spirit? Does having the Spirit mean that we are “advanced” Christians, closer to God than other Christians? Has the Spirit limited himself to only operating in the lives of Chri

    Separate Yourself

    Contributed by Timothy Brewington Ii on Sep 9, 2003
    based on 94 ratings
     | 50,755 views

    We must separate ourselves from whatever is not like God. We must also separate ourselves unto God. This means that we most make ourselves only available to God. God uses people that have mad themselves available to him.

    2 Corinthians 6:17 "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord...” God has always required His people to separate. He told Israel, “be ye holy, for I am Holy.” God knows that we become like, whoever and whatever we spend the most time with. God wants us to be like Him, ...read more

     | 24,674 views

    Luther gave 2 statements about Christian Freedom: "A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject to everyone." St. Paul tells us what Christian Freedom really means.

    Epiphany 4 I Corinthians 8:1-13 In just one word, what is the reason that thousands of our young men and women are being deployed half-way around the world to Iraq? Well, if you had to boil it down to just one word, that reason would be: freedom. Freedom for the Iraqi people from the dictator ...read more

     | 11,870 views

    In some ways, what was a parable for them, becomes for us an historical lesson. We look back to see that wisdom was indeed exonerated by a growing kingdom that could not have been through force or the means of men. And we see that when we pout and stam

    THIS GENERATION Luke 7: 31-35 To what then can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?

     | 4,713 views

    Today, we continue our study of the word revolution and we concentrate on its second meaning: “A sudden, radical, or complete change.” Though change is something that scares many people or simply makes them extremely uncomfortable, it is part of our nat

    Last week we saw how the word revolution evokes thoughts of wars, conflicts and bloody struggles. But we also learned that a revolution is the action by a celestial body of going around in an orbit. Thus, we established it is time for a revolution in our lives because we have orbited too far ...read more

    For our Remembrance Sunday, when we recall church members deceased during the past year. Memories that are all positive or all positive leave judgment on our hearts. The gospel means that we learn and rejoice from them, but recognize that their lives we

    The way in which we remember those who have gone before us can either empower us or it can disempower us. The way in which we grieve for those we have loved and lost can either enable us to greater things, or it can disable us and hold us back. It all depends on what we do with the judgment that ...read more

    Communion Meditation No. 2: Common Everyday Things Series

    based on 114 ratings
     | 34,112 views

    Common, everyday things often take on special meanings. A letter becomes a treasure when it is the last one from a loved one. In similar fashion, Jesus took common, ordinary elements—unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine—and made them special.

    There are two things we should remember about prayer. One -- we should retreat from the busy-ness of the world on occasion to have quiet time of prayer with God. Second -- AMEN doesn’t mean ’good-bye God’ but rather ’Action.’

    A few years ago I was in a conversation with some folks and we started talking about Sunday morning worship and each of us began sharing what was his or her favorite part.

    Entire sanctification means knowing where righteousness comes from. Any righteousness we have comes to us on the basis of faith in Christ Jesus. Thus, it is easy to give up any puny notion that our earthly qualifications gave us merit.

    Some of us are just not observant and do not see what God is doing. We let fear paralyze us, we do not see what an international church means, and we need to bear a testimony of excitement about all that God is doing in this church.
