Matthew 8:1-4 - Part 1 - When My Worship And His Willingness Collide! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 20, 2010

IT'S A COLLISION OF WORSHIP AND WILLINGNESS, OF SURRENDER AND SOVEREIGNTY. As I bow before Him as my Lord and Master, and articulate to Him what only He can do in my life, Jesus says "I am willing" and another mountain is moved.

Matthew 8:1-4 - Part 1 - WHEN MY WORSHIP AND HIS WILLINGNESS COLLIDE! I was a big kid in primary school. I matured before most other boys, and towered above them. Most kids stayed away from me. It didn't help when at 14, I grew a beard. Further alienation, this time from my teachers who thought I ...read more

The M-Words: Miracle And Magic

Contributed by Casey Campbell on Feb 23, 2013

This is actually more of a devotional reflection that could be re-worked into a sermon. It is about how miracles are different from magic, and why that matters.

This is day number 26 in the hospital with my eleven year old daughter who is recovering from two major/radical brain surgeries associated with her epilepsy, and, believe it or not, I’ve had a lot of time lately to think about the “m-words.” I was writing a little earlier in the ...read more

Go!

Contributed by Andy Payne on Feb 23, 2009

Until the time of Jesus’ resurrection, the mission was primarily to other Jews. Non Jews were proselytized; however they sought Jesus and his disciples out. Here Jesus explicitly commands the disciples to reach out.

This morning we have heard the life story and call of Faye to go and serve China in mission. Her mandate is the same as the one upon which the Church as we know it is built. It comes from a directive issued by Jesus himself to his disciples just prior to his ascension into heaven. We find it in ...read more

Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Jun 16, 2013

Come Unto Me

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Oct 27, 2013

Jesus offers the absolute best gift we could imagine, the gift of Himself - up close, personal, and intimately connected to us in our joy and in our distress.

Who here loves dogs? Some of us have a real love for animals. There can be a deep connection between a dog and his master, or a cat and his servant. Cats don’t have masters. They know they are the boss. Well, a while back a newspaper carried the story of Tattoo, the basset hound. Now a ...read more

Listen And Remember Series

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Oct 9, 2019

Have you ever forgotten something important? Was it important to you or perhaps your spouse. As the years go by, is it harder to remember? Is the long-term memory more fresh in your mind?

I hope I never forget my wife’s birthday, but then how could I? I had major surgery in 2015 on her birthday. It is ingrained in my mind. I will never forget that date but I recently forgot our anniversary for the first time. That’s terrible. Makes you want to be young again, doesn’t it? They ...read more
