    God’s Unconventional Reach

     | 10,304 views

    Jesus shares three stories to show how much every person matters to God. Jesus calls us to repent and return to him, love people he loves, and celebrate with heaven when lost people are found.

They make devices to ping all these things, but I’m sure I would probably lose that, too! Luke chapter 15 is all about lost things, ...read more

    "Seek God’s Will” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Oct 7, 2019
     | 7,975 views

    Seeking god's will begins with our learning to think as God wants us to think. From Epaphras' prayer for the Colossians we learn how we need to go about renewing our minds in order to stand firm in all the will of God.

    Paul shares with the Colossians that their brother in Christ, who was sent to minister to Paul in prison, Epaphras, was “wrestling in prayer” for them that they might “stand firm in all the will of God.” What did Paul mean by “all the will of God?” He was saying we should seek to be in God’s will ...read more

    Tuesday of the 29th Week in Course 2019 St. John Paul II Today’s first reading from St. Paul’s letter to the Romans is the result of taking a scalpel to the original text.

    When we picture Christ, we always picture him as the Son of God who started working AFTER he was born on Christmas. But according to the Bible, Jesus was working long BEFORE he was born on Christmas.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,810 views

    This sermon is part of our spiritual first aid series and it looks at how we go about procuring God's peace for our lives. We look at having peace with God and the peace of God, and how we have peace through God's word and forgiveness.

    Spiritual First Aid Procuring God’s Peace Before I begin, let me say that God considers peace so important that not only did He give it as a title to His Son, Jesus, calling Him the Prince of Peace, but He also made it part of two life changing teachings. The Apostle Paul lists out peace as one ...read more
