     | 3,816 views

    Have you ever went to bed thinking about about all the things you have to do the next day or maybe something you have to do that you dread? There again those kind of things can keep us from hearing God's voice!

    Give Thanks? Maybe? What Do I Know?

     | 3,974 views

    It is easy to forget to give thanks when things are going wrong. There is a beautiful story of the king's son that had a bad attitude. We may see through the fog, but God has a plan.

    GIVE THANKS? MAYBE? WHAT DO I KNOW? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com HAVE YOU EVER FORGOT WHAT YOU KNOW? SPIRITUALLY, I THINK IT IS SO EASY TO FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW… One day when I was young I ran out of gas. It was before the cell phone. I sat and wondered what am I going ...read more

    "staying Connected"

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021
     | 6,690 views

    In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 1, 2021 Text: John 15:1-8 Easter V Redeemer “Staying Connected” It helps to have connections. Everybody knows it’s true. It’s not what you know, the cynic says, but WHO you know that makes a difference. In 1982 there was a wonderful book which was ...read more

    Sometimes we need to get alone, be still, and listen to God. Then other times we need to put ACTION to our prayers.

    If I asked you what your favorite part of the Sunday morning worship is, I would probably get answers like, “I like the song service, I like the special music, I like the prayer time, and so on. One pastor actually asked some of his congregation that question and one person said it was the prelude ...read more

     | 5,870 views

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Martha Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/21/2016 For the last few of weeks, we’ve been talking about how you might respond if God called your name—not just once, but twice. As I mentioned before, God calls plenty of people in the Bible often ...read more

    Do You Get It?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2023
     | 1,478 views

    There is nothing that Jesus cannot do. But we can only get the message if we don’t let ourselves be distracted by trivia, and if our relationship with God is healthy.

    One of the reasons people loved to listen to Jesus was that he talked about things they knew about, scenes and events from their everyday lives. But the lives of the people Jesus talked to can seem very far away from our own, sometimes. His illustrations don’t always mean that much to us. What’s ...read more

    "Hineni Shelacheni” — Send Me

     | 744 views

    This variety in responses mirrors how we approach God’s call in our lives. Just as our greetings reflect our readiness to engage, the way we respond to God's call—much like Isaiah did—reveals our willingness to serve and our openness to His divine purpose for us.

    Introduction: Hello, everyone. Different cultures have unique ways of answering the phone, reflecting their values and traditions. For instance: Graham Bell’s invention is greeted with a simple “Ahoy” in English. Russians respond, “I’m listening.” The French ask, “Who is on the phone?” Italians ...read more

    "Shema" means to listen! Jesus said that His sheep are listening in order to hear His voice! We must listen to, obey, and follow Jesus every single day...always.
