    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,463 views

    Because of the clutter and the noise in our lives, we often fail to see what Jesus does and can do for us. It seems as if we are constantly grasping, but never grabbing hold of that which changes us for the better.

    He walked on water which shows us that nothing can separates us from Him. He made that water into wine which shows us He can create something out of nothing. He ate and drank with people that we would never want to be caught around which shows us that we are all deserving of even the smallest of ...read more

    Decaf Christmas? Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 5,398 views

    The reason we decaffeinate Christmas is because we don’t want Jesus intruding on our lives. Don’t want to admit that we need help. Little baby Jesus is OK, but he’d better not get out of the manger.

    This week a number of articles have come out, commenting on the push to get Christ out of Christmas. The best I read called this the decaffeination of Christmas. Carols that are all about trees, snow, reindeer, not about a baby born in a manger. Why do we do this? For some the story of ...read more

     | 26,773 views

    The Storm tests our faith and reveals our character, but what separates those who survive it are those who built their hopes on Jesus, not merely hearing but doing what He says.

    Standing in the Storm Introduction: In today's culture the lines that divide what is right and what is wrong are blurred. While there may be ambiguity in the world, there is no ambiguity in the word. The word of God is described as a two edged sword in Hebrews 4:12 It is so sharp it separates ...read more
