    Four ways Jesus speaks with authority to break through into our lives.

    One of my favorite movies is the Indiana Jones movie The Last Crusade. It’s the story of Indiana Jones and his father’s quest for the holy grail, the legendary chalice that Jesus used in his Last Supper with his disciples. In one of the final scenes, the ancient temple they’ve found the chalice in ...read more

    Failure to understand elementary insights about how to engage the enemy will leave gaping holes in our defenses.

    After a worship service at First Baptist in New Castle, Kentucky, the mother of a fidgety 7-year-old boy told Pastor Dave Charlton how she finally got her son to sit still and be quiet.

    All I (Really) Want For Christmas Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 8, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 6,053 views

    Joseph thought he knew what he wanted: freedom from embarassment, a normal life, a few friends to support him. But in listening to the Spirit he found that what he really wanted was to love and to be loved, to be significant, and to be understood by God.

    What do you want for Christmas? I hope there’s somebody in your life who is asking that question. I am not one of those curmudgeons who thinks we should do away with giving gifts at Christmas. Yes, it gets out of hand. And yes, it’s all very commercial. But still, gift-giving is a part ...read more

    Jesus invites us to rethink how we evaluate human worth with a parable about a successful man whom God regarded as a fool.

    Text: Luke 12:15-21 Introduction This passage of Scripture is troubling. It may not strike us as troubling on the surface. Indeed we are likely to say the obligatory “Amen” on reading or hearing this passage read in worship. (Remember Amen means “so let it be” or “I agree, I concur, I ...read more

     | 5,501 views

    Do we want to be as evangelistic as Jesus, then we need to learn what it means to love and accept and give the good news to "the woman at the well."

John 4: 4-42 Love this story… 4 He had to go through Samaria on the way. 5 Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the ...read more

    Things don’t just happen in our lives. Our lives are the results of the decisions we make and when we make our decisions based on the Word our lives become victorious.

    What steps do we have to take to prepare to meet our God.

    If you are like me, you like to make a good first impression. Many years ago a boss I had stressed over and over the truth of the statement, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” And so you try to put your best foot forward.
