    True born again Christians are not to have a worldly eulogy given at their funeral. Eulogies and the messages spoken at their physical death experience are to be reminders for Christians of their future home going and an opportunity for the presentation

    Deacon ordination: Christ has won the victory, so yours is the opportunity to roll up the score with no fear of losing. Pass on what you have received in comfort, conversion, gifts.

    Practice Makes Perfect

    Your personal best requires that you take on the mindset of an athlete. An athlete runs to win. They exercise disciplines for the win when the door opens for opportunity. They sacrifice for what they believe in.

    Everyone has heard the phrase “Practice makes perfect” or at least I think they have. It’s such an old adage, I’m not sure if anyone knows who said it first. Regardless of who coined the phrase, the Bible is full of wisdom concerning this very notion of practice and results. ...read more

    Jesus publically announces his upcoming death. He uses the opportunity to explain what his death will produce along with highlighting the same principle for his followers in dying to self.

    DIE TO LIVE John 12:20-36 1) Looking for Jesus (20-22). Interesting-the religious leaders wanted nothing to do with Jesus. They were going out of their way to get him out of the way.

    There is one idea that Jesus is teaching us here that is life changing for those who believe; here it is: You have an opportunity to live forever because of who Jesus is.

    There were five ways people related with Jesus during his three year ministry. The first group of folks ignored him. They didn't believe he was the Son of God. They never considered him to be the Messiah. Jesus was most amazed by these people that they could ignore the miracles he performed and ...read more

    The Jews had a problem with Jesus healing the cripple by the pool on the Sabbath. Jesus used the opportunity to try to show them that he was the real deal; and quite frankly-they were not.

    THE VALIDITY OF JESUS John 5:16-47 1) Like Father, like Son (vs. 16-30). • Jesus is equal to the Father (vs. 16-18). Vs. 16-17-God created in six days and rested on the seventh.

    This message is designed to stir Christians toward evangelism using the words of Jesus. The message addresses how we should view unbelievers and how we are to respond to the opportunities that are before us.

    Many fathers in today's world are wasting their opportunities and neglecting their duties. They are prodigal fathers! God is the perfect Father, and human fathers would do well to learn and return to His ways.

    The Prodigal Father returning to the Ideal Father INTRO: The world has set aside June 21st as a day to honor fathers. Of course if you are striving to please God, you will "honor your father" more than just one day a year (Ephesians 6:2). But "Father's Day" is a day on which some individuals ...read more
