    Part 1 - Genesis 12:1-20 - Ok, He’s Dead! What Have I Inherited? Series

    Some criticize him for staying in Haran saying that he fell short of the promises of God, distracted by the attraction of wealth. I don’t think he was saying, OK, HE’S DEAD! WHAT HAVE I INHERITED? But he did stay in Haran until his father died.

    Part 1 - Genesis 12:1-20 (NASB) - OK, HE’S DEAD. WHAT HAVE I INHERITED? I understand the upheaval of moving to a different city. Packing endless boxes of books, dismantling beds and throwing out all the junk we have accumulated over time - big job. Then watching a huge truck back into our ...read more

    Die To Live

    Jesus publically announces his upcoming death. He uses the opportunity to explain what his death will produce along with highlighting the same principle for his followers in dying to self.

    DIE TO LIVE John 12:20-36 1) Looking for Jesus (20-22). Interesting-the religious leaders wanted nothing to do with Jesus. They were going out of their way to get him out of the way. But here we see some foreigners going out of their way to get close to Jesus. These Greeks were willing to go to ...read more

    For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

    When Adam and Eve sinned the judgment was that their life would be taken from them, not by God but by sin. The moment they sinned, they died, for the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). To fix this problem, God himself killed an animal and covered them with the blood of that animal (Genesis 3:21). ...read more

    Weightless Faith

    Contributed by Trae Durden on Dec 5, 2014
     | 3,862 views

    We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is light” (Mt. 11:30). And we choose to run with that “easy” life! We love to forget that He also said, ““If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Mt. 16:24)

    Weightless Faith Philippians 3:17-21 Is the Christian life only about avoiding wrong? Is an “Avoidance” lifestyle all that God expects of us or is there more? Like bringing Glory to God in faith by taking action! Serving others! We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is ...read more
