    OPEN: There’s a story I read once of 3 umpires who were talking about the feeling of power they had on the baseball field. As they talked about what gave them this sense of empowerment, the 1st umpire said – “I call ‘em as I see ‘em.” The 2nd smiled and said, “That ain’t nothing. I call ‘em as ...read more

    These two blind guys could see more than many people ever will. THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE JESUS FOR WHO HE IS. They saw the authority He had and THEY CRIED FOR MERCY. Now that's a good place to start if I am to find healing for my li

    From a conference for college-age men on what it means to be a man, God’s man and God’s leader.

    Godliness, Manhood and Leadership As men, we’re in crisis. The crisis we experience is deeper and more pervasive than probably any of us realize. It’s a crisis which impacts us first as males -- then it shifts – and it twists and troubles relationships with others, especially with women. This ...read more

    Third in a series of three. This message brings the message of CHristmas and Narnia together for a conclusion focusing on Aslan the Roaring Lion.

    ASLAN: TURNING TRAGEDY TO TRUIMPH Eveyone here knows that line from Away in a Manger that says: The cattle are lowing the baby awakes but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,566 views

    Actress Ally Walker said, "Being a mom is the hardest job I've ever had; but it's the most rewarding job I've ever had." I'm sure most moms share this sentiment. Moms are tough. Army slogan, "Army Strong". There's Army Strong and then there's Mom Strong.

    MOM STRONG! [Slide One] One day a young daughter came up to her Mother saying, "Mom, there are five things I'm going to be when I grow up." "Oh? What are they?" "I'm going to be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, an archeologist, and an actress." "Wow, that's quite a list. But what about being a ...read more

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 31, 2023
     | 1,513 views

    At a men's retreat I noticed the verse on the back of the shirt of the guy sitting ahead of me. 2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." I pondered that and wondered how power, love and self-discipline counter fear.

    God’s kind love seen in David’s kindness to Saul’s family, in the parables of the Prodigal Son & the Good Samaritan, is expressed best in Christ’s death for undeserving sinners; we are called to show that same kindness to others.

    Today in our passage of Scripture we’re going to see a young man approach Jesus and ask Him the most important question of all time...”What must I do to have eternal life?” That is a GREAT question! There were a lot of things this young man did right.

    This is a modern-day telling of the "woman at the well" found in John chapter 4. It is delivered as a monologue from the perspective of a narrator.
