    Death Comes First

    Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 9, 2016
     | 6,506 views

    We think that Life comes first, and death follows. But, think of death happening first, then Life follows. It happens when we first believe. We were DEAD in sin, until God brings us the word of LIFE. The butterfly seems to DIE, then comes back to LIFE!

    Death comes first. "Unless a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone. But, if it dies, it brings forth much fruit." (John 12:24) Let's begin with a very basic Universal Principle: “First comes Death,.. then comes Life!” I know, it sounds backwards. We ...read more

    The Call To Priesthood

     | 5,482 views

    There is a special set of charisms and sufferings for those called to pastoral office in the Church.

    Christians, especially Catholics, should never be surprised by suffering and pain. If we are surprised, it ought to be if we do not suffer pain and disappointment and grief. Jesus told us that during His absence, we would weep and lament while the secular world rejoices. St. Teresa commented ...read more

    Lessons from the death of John the Baptist.

    • Today's passage, though lengthy, reads like a script from a soap opera. • Though all the sorted details are not specifically mentioned in Luke, they are alluded to as part of the story. • The twisted nature of man without God can be seen clearly in the intoxication of power, the ...read more

    Worship that is worthwhile to God requires priority, preparation and participation.

    See if you can help me out and complete the following phrase: One man’s trash is… [Wait for answers] That’s right: One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Because we live in a culture where we tend to rapidly lose interest in things that we just had to have at ...read more

    Surrender And Live

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013
     | 8,578 views

    Being told the only way you could survive a battle is to surrender would be challenging. This is what Jeremiah told the Jews before Jerusalem was destroyed, and God is telling the us the same today. Do you want to survive spiritual war? You must surrender

    Jeremiah 38:2-6 Jeremiah's message and the reaction "Thus says the LORD: He who stays in this city shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans shall live. He shall have his life as a prize of war, and live. 3 Thus says the LORD: This city shall surely ...read more

     | 6,152 views

    Our call to go in this new direction was not unlike the call of Abraham in our Scripture today. God said, “Go!” Go where? “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing...

    Being a Blessing Genesis 12:1-3 When I arrived here more than six years ago as Pastor, I met with the congregation in small groups, and asked 3 simple questions: “What do you like about the church? What do you want to keep the same? What do you want to change?” Out of those ...read more

    Step Out

    For many of us, the biggest decision we make is spiritual, the moment you decide to follow Jesus and the moment you decide to respond to God’s call upon your life. The Hebrew people are at such a moment of decision in their journey

    Step Up and Step Out! Joshua 3:1-8 Have you ever been at a crossroads, a time in your life where you needed to make a critical decision that is going to have a huge effect on the rest of your life. You come to a moment and have to make a choice about what you’re going to do and the direction ...read more

    Today we’ll learn a significant lesson from a seemingly insignificant person. If not for Jesus pointing her out, the act of the poor widow would’ve escaped everyone’s notice and the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson would’ve been lost.

    THE POOR WIDOW’S OFFERING (Mark 12:41-44) Today we’ll learn a significant lesson from a seemingly insignificant person. If not for Jesus pointing her out, the act of the poor widow would’ve escaped everyone’s notice and the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson ...read more

    Real Worshippers

     | 4,837 views

    If there is not a balance within the Christian life, we can become off kilter, like a washing machine with the clothes off balance, it makes a lot of noise, but it’s not cleaning your clothes properly.

    1 Kings 18:17-39-Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, "Is that you, O troubler of Israel?" 18 And he answered, "I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father's house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD and have followed the Baals. 19 Now ...read more

    Love Never Pretends!! (Hix)

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Feb 11, 2015
     | 4,149 views

    Doesn't matter if you can preach good, or use long 50 cent words, that nobody understands, if they don’t love! What good is it? I've known preachers, that love to hear themselves talk, but I'm not sure, they love the ones they're talking too!!

    1 Cor. 13:1-3-Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have ...read more

    An encouragement to raise up your 'monument' to past blessings.

    "HITHERTO HATH THE LORD HELPED US". 1 Samuel 7:3-12. Monuments are historical markers which serve to remind us of the accomplishments, or the sacrifices, of those who came before us. They are boundary stones along the time-line, signalling, ‘Something significant happened here’. Or ...read more

    The very fact that the Lord is represented as moving to lift the burden of these people is evidence that He is moved with concern when His people are in crisis.
