We Three Kings Series

Contributed by John Sears on Jan 2, 2014

At Christmas we all hope to either find or give the perfect gift. But if there was a present under the tree with Jesus' name on it, what would that look like? What would it contain?

Introduction Now that the gifts are unwrapped; now that the family has come and gone, now that Christmas is over, did you get the perfect gift? When I was child, that seemed like the ultimate question. Each year I hoped I would get that top present on my wish list. And when I shopped for ...read more

Mom Strong

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 14, 2018

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

The Unity Of Love

Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 13, 2023

Paul's desire was that the Church would be unified, but what does that look like? We live in a time when the church seems fragmented and divided, and that is affecting who we reach and don't reach people.

The Unity of Love If nothing else, you need to love the sixties and seventies for their awesome sense of style. The band was “The Brotherhood of Man,” the year was 1970, and the message of the song was spelled out in its title “United we stand, divided we fall.” Interesting tidbit about the ...read more
