    I don’t think any of us are really ready to give up the traditions of this holiday season. So why not think about what we love about this time of the year? (Based on an article by Rev. Thomas Shepherd) ________________________________________

    How do you like this time of the year? Shopping center parking lots clogged with car headlights like a starry night sky in the country. Mindless, but welcoming music drifting over hordes of harried, hopeful, hesitantly happy holiday hunters. Shop ’til you’re top-heavy, arms full of packages, ...read more

    Just as Jesus performed the "private" miracle at the wedding feast at Cana, His grace is available for our personal, private, miracles.

    A Private Miracle, John 2:1-11 Introduction William Jennings Bryan wrote this about miracles: “Some skeptics say, ‘Oh, the miracles. I can’t accept miracles.’ One may drop a brown seed in the black soil and up comes a green shoot. You let it grow and by and by you pull up ...read more

    Prayer is the final component to the Armor of God. It is the source of power that is necessary to enable us not only to stand but to engage the enemy to ultimate victory in Christ. Prayer directs, equips, and empowers us.

Put on the gospel armor, Each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls or danger, Be never wanting there.” Prayer is the ...read more

    God shows us how to be his disciples. In this case we are to take the attributes of children because God has.

    A first grader became curious because her father brought home a briefcase full of papers every evening. Her mother explained, “Daddy has so much to do that he can’t finish it all at the office. That’s why he has to bring work home at night.” “Well then,” asked ...read more

    God's Grace can happen at any time or any place.

    The Nain Procession to Party From what I've heard, a New Orleans jazz funeral is an experience like no other. The brass band begins its solemn procession at the church, playing hymns like "Free as a Bird" and "Just a Closer Walk with Thee",….no improvisation, no frills. Nothing but sadness ...read more

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Jan 5, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 23,291 views

    This message looks at the significance of the shepherd and how it is essential to understanding God’s plan for church leadership.

    The image of the shepherd seems somewhat irrelevant to modern Americans. Without a doubt this makes it quite difficult to communicate God’s plan for church leadership. The picture of the shepherd fails to connect with us in the modern church. Shepherds would have been as common to the original ...read more

    I submit to you that abortion is destroying the highest qualities of God that are present in the womb! Every human being at conception is formed after the nature and perfections of God.

    Who said these 2 statements…? “…Beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.” “Maternity or additional offspring may force upon the ...read more

    Hebrew scholars in Jesus’ day clearly expected Bethlehem to be the birth place of the Messiah. These men were from Persia whose knowledge of the Hebrew Scriptures could be traced back to the time of Daniel.
