    Our Great Command

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Dec 5, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,216 views

    We tend to view love as a warm fuzzy feeling reserved for a select few of our friends and family. However, God calls us to a life of holy love – a love founded on His love for us and built with decisive actions instead of feelings.

    Introduction: When I was in school studying to become a pastor, a fellow student said, “Church work would be a lot easier if it weren’t for people.” Me (my dilemma or question) I laughed at my friend’s statement – church work is about people. Pastors work with people day in and day out. Here are ...read more

    In the midst of trouble and strife, we are commanded to give thanks to God for the gift of his holy word, even when it seems to make no sense.

    Thanksgiving is Our Dialect This is a difficult time and a blessed time - all at the same time - for our church.

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,222 views

    We all are very independent individuals. Some of our first words – perhaps even our first sentence – expressed that self-reliance. "I can do it myself." This is healthy when we’re dressing and cleaning up. It becomes unhealthy when we try to control o

    Introduction: The names in this story have been changed out of respect for their privacy. Julie W told her family’s story in a magazine article. [My daughter], Allison, came home for the weekend.

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,568 views

    Many people don’t do what their doctors or counselors suggest. It’s a terrible mistake to treat Jesus in the same way. Whenever he gives advice it is for our healing. From now on we need to listen and do what our Wonderful Counselor says.

    Series Introduction: Part of our Christmas celebrations involves the giving of gifts. We exchange gifts most of the time because of our love for each other.

    Some of us are trying to earn God’s love and acceptance. Some of us are afraid he’s angry with us. Some of us wonder if he even exists. But Jesus comes to each of us this Christmas assuring us of God’s unconditional love, his wonderful care and his con

    Intersection (Common ground illustration) An economy driving tradition in our Christmas celebrations involves giving gifts. We exchange gifts most of the time because we love each other.

    Our Prince Of Peace Series

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Dec 31, 2008
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,189 views

    The problem is that we want Jesus’ peace without recognizing Jesus’ authority in our lives. We want to live our way and escape the negative consequences. We need to surrender to the Prince of Peace in order to experience his blessings.

    From Deut. 19:1-13, parallels how God is our refuge, and we must run to Him (firefighter theme).

    The book of Deuteronomy is such an awesome book to read and study! I never was a big fan of the Old Testament, but I became one as I recently did a study of the book of Deuteronomy. The reason this book is so great is that it contains all the information for living a blessed, Christian life. ...read more

    Feast of the Purification/Presentation February 2, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis St. Luke must have had a terrific sense of humor, history and irony.
