    Just as Jesus’ parents lost him, we too can lose Christ if but only for a short time. That which we lose is that close personal relationship.

    “Finding Christ” Luke 2:41-52 (Read Text) “Finding Christ” implies that he has been or can be lost. And I want to make clear what I mean by that. I do not mean that a person can lose the grace of God once they have received it, but what a person can lose, because of their actions, is the ...read more

    Friendship is a deeper relationship than the world can offer, or wants to offer. Yet, that is what Jesus offers us. He offers to become our friend.

    What are Friends for? Chapter Four The Wounded Friend Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. A good bus driver is one that follows the traffic laws, looks ...read more

    Sick Religion And Healed Hearts

     | 18,701 views

    Religion is sick when it is system-only, salvation-only, or self-only. Christ gives us instead a relationship with Himself, a model of life, and an embracing compassion.

    Religion is either one of life’s greatest blessings, or it is one of the sickest things we do. Religion can be wonderful. I assume that because you are in church today you agree with that. Religion can be fulfilling, it can be instructive, it can be inspiring. Religion has driven so much of ...read more
