As Christians, we have responsibilities on earth (family, work, school, society, etc…), but we must always remember where we ultimately belong (we are citizens of heaven)!
When Jesus Christ was on earth, He was fully man and fully God! This of course is a mystery, but it is truth. This is similar to the truth and mystery of God is One but exists in Three Persons. If Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God on earth, how was His growing up? God gives us a glimpse of ...read more

This sermon is part of a three-week Stewardship Series about the communion commitment of "one with Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to all." Three strands of one binding together in one cord that cannot be broken as we commit ourselves to the kingdom of God.
Opening Illustration:?Many of us love receiving gifts—birthdays, holidays, anniversaries. But have you noticed that the most meaningful gifts are not the ones that fade or break but connect us to someone’s love? A letter. A family heirloom. A handmade card from a child. These are gifts that hold ...read more

Early believers were able to face opposition and tribulation because they focused upon their identity, following Jesus. What is our identity?
Sometimes, we get suckered in by the idea that identity and relationship are not important. We buy into Shakespeare’s rhetorical question and answer from Act II, Scene II of Romeo and Juliet: What is in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. We ...read more

The Sanhedrin again seek to put Christ and Christianity on trial, even though Jesus has been crucified, dead and buried.
Mid-Week Message/Devotion April 25, 2018 Acts 4:5-12 We are reading through this account of Peter and the apostles being queried by yet another gathering of what amounts to a self-appointed council. Why do I say self-appointed? You see this council of Jewish priests – the Sanhedrin was ...read more

Jesus pops up to speak in the middle of everyone on a major holiday with seemingly nowhere to go. Why would He risk His life? Why would He place Himself in such a dangerous position? Jesus risks everything to give us a gift that changes everything.
Have you heard someone say, “I wouldn’t bet the farm on that if I were you?” There are many things in life we CANNOT count on. You CANNOT count on a politician’s promise. You CANNOT count on the weatherman’s forecast. And you cannot count on the pastor when he says, “I’ll be just one more minute.” ...read more

This message seeks to answer why people can hear the same message but respond in opposite ways.
Although I have been a Christian for thirty plus years there are still so many things that puzzle me. How can people hear the life changing message of Jesus Christ and refuse to accept it? Why do people not jump at the chance to have all their sins taken away? However the biggest issue that puzzles ...read more
Scripture: Mark 4:2-20
The fourth reaction to Jesus’ claims comes from the religious and civil authorities. It paints a clear picture of men in every generation who reject or oppose Jesus. That’s because what Jesus says is tragic for all unbelievers.

The fourth reaction to Jesus’ claims comes from the religious and civil authorities. It paints a clear picture of men in every generation who reject or ...read more
