    A Lifestyle Of Evangelism Series

    Evangelism is a word that causes many of us to tremble. When we simplify the process it can become easier to do. Here's some thoughts from a meeting between Philip and an Ethiopian eunuch.

    What is your initial, knee jerk reaction when you hear this word? (pause) Evangelism. A few of you slid forward in your seat, got this eager look on your face, and can’t wait to hear the rest of the message. Most of you are looking a bit like a deer caught in the headlights, startled and ...read more

    The Easter story tells us that 1) God keeps his promises, 2) God brings a fresh start, and 3) God speaks to those who listen.

People will celebrate all over the globe the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Why all the attention for an ...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

    "staying Connected"

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021
     | 6,760 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

    Do You Get It?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2023
     | 1,561 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

     | 6,171 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.
