    People are hungry, spiritually today. Yet often people look for a quick fix. What does it mean to follow Jesus? What does it mean to fish for people?

    Bibliography: Culture Shift, lesson 8 I learned something interesting this week. Let me ask you something. Have you seen Miss Cleo on television lately? You know who Miss Cleo is, don’t you?

    If you are a Christian who has something that belongs to God, Time, Talent, Money, secret sin or a painful past, it’s time to uncover those things and give them back to God.

    We begin in the Book of Joshua chapter 5:1 Joshua’s Hebrew name means “God is our Salvation” The Hebrew name Joshua is rendered in the Greek as Iesous which we pronounce in English as “Jesus”. So the names Joshua and Jesus are the same and have the meaning “God is our Salvation.” The Children of ...read more

    Jacob: Wrestling with God and Man, Pt. 2

    THE END DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS (GENESIS 27:1-46) In Italy, a man went to a priest and confessed. “Forgive me, Father,” he said, sobbing. “During World War II, I hid a refugee in my attic.” “Well,” the priest replied, “That’s not a sin.” “But,” the man admitted, “I made him pay rent.” “That ...read more

    3 of 4. The congregation at Nazareth would not believe Jesus’ ability to fulfill Scripture’s mandate for the Messiah. Religiosity thinks it absurd that Jesus can save, &/or is Messiah. But what results from such a stance? Disabling Jesus produces...

    DISABLING JESUS-III—Luke 4:22-30 Attention: ‘Back in the day’ when I was an arrogant atheistic teenager I would occasionaly pick up a copy of the magazine National Lampoon.

    The Kisses You Do Not Want Series

    Even back in Bible times (where they did a lot of kissing) there were certain kisses you didn’t want. And the worst kisses were those of enemies and betrayers. How did God say we should deal with people who attempt to deceive as those would?

    (A Poem) Oh, innocent victims of Cupid, Remember this terse little verse To let a fool kiss you is stupid But to let a kiss fool you is worse. (Readers Digest 2/77 p.103) As I noted a couple of weeks ago, the Bible is just filled with kissing. They did a whole lot more kissing back then than we ...read more

    Sermon 23 in a study in HEBREWS

    “Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set ...read more

    Do you want to become great in the Kingdom of God? Then start with this premise in your life: It is not about me, it is about Jesus Christ; The less I am, the greater Jesus is; The greater Jesus is, the greater I will be in the kingdom of God.

    Judas Iscariot. He must be replaced. Judas has failed and another must rise up to take his place. The church will not end with the failure of Judas, the church will regroup, reevaluate, and pursue its calling - to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Judas was one of the twelve, he was one of ...read more

    Part III of the Four Part Vision: As the redeemed children of God, we are called to live lives that reflect the peace that Christ won for us on the Cross. This message is a practical introduction to Biblical Peacemakers.

    Texts: “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ’every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If ...read more

    Some call it the Lord’s Supper. Some call it Communion. Some call it the Eucharist. Just as there are different names for the event, there are many different teachings about it. That confusion isn’t a new thing. It was going on even in the first century C

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ As you can tell from the table that is set before us, we will be partaking of the Lord’s Supper this morning. So since that is the case, I think it is a good idea for us to spend some time talking about what that means. There are two reasons why that’s a good ...read more

    Do we worship the same God in different ways? Is Jesus a way? One way out of many? Or is Jesus the only way? Jesus said, ’I am the way, the truth and the life’.

    I am the Way, the Truth, the Life John 14:5 Introduction A little boy was lost inside a busy shopping mall.

    Faith Leads To Maturity Series

     | 23,580 views

    Relying on external law is the bondage of slavery. Jesus redeemed us from the law & made us heirs of God. The Christian does not need to wait to enjoy the riches of Christ. If he is a son then he is an heir.

    GALATIANS 4:1-7 FAITH LEADS TO MATURITY [Romans 8:15-17] One of the tragedies of legalism is that it gives the appearance of maturity when, in reality, it leads the believer away from a spiritual dependance upon God. The Galatian Christians, like most believers, wanted to grow and go ...read more

    Stephen stands before the highest religious court in the land to answer charges of blasphemy against Moses and against God.

    There are many church, synagogue & mosque members today devoted to rituals & rule-keeping. They are living in religious bondage. They need to hear that spiritual freedom is possible only through the grace of God in Jesus Christ.

    GALATIANS 4:8-20 AN APPEAL OF LOVE The conclusion reached in verse 7 is that those who have received the Spirit are now sons and heirs of God. Paul now tells the Galatians they are not acting like heirs of God! So he asks them if they prefer slavery or freedom, legalism or the Spirit? Did ...read more
