     | 2,918 views

    The problem is we don’t know what to worship just by looking at the scriptures. Some people mistake that to be worship creation itself. Some people worship creation instead of the Creator. They misunderstand the message.

    We’re studying the book of Genesis and we start, of course, with Genesis 1 which is creation. Last week we looked at God created the heavens and the earth. We looked at day one where God created light. One of the things we said is here’s what happens when you start to look at creation. There is a ...read more

    Every Day. Routine. Take it or leave it. A dime a dozen. Do we treat the rare like the regular? Do we mistake the extraordinary for the ordinary? Do we overlook the incredible for the common?

    Common Pt. 1 - Droppin' Dimes Introduction We have confronted and challenged our apathy towards people. Jesus made it clear that we must not only claim love for God but that that love must be demonstrated with love for people. We can't claim love for the One we can't see if we don't love the ones ...read more

    A study of 5 people in Jesus’ genealogy who had tainted reputations illustrates that none of us have to be chained to our past.

    THERE’S A BLACK SHEEP IN THE FAMILY TREE I recently became interested in family genealogy. I found some ancestors who intrigue me, like the civil war veterans and the Baptist preacher who was shot in the back during the Civil War.

    The Inherited Church Series

     | 6,922 views

    To accomplish the task of evangelising our world, we must work as though our congregation was new. New churches have a vibrancy that can be lost as we grow older. In time, if we don't take care, we will have an "inherited church" rather than a vibrant, living congregation.

    “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete ...read more

    There was one woman, and her entire family who was saved with just a red cord that she used because her faith was accompanied by works. Let’s learn how our faith and works need to go hand in hand.

    The Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, & Future not only enlighten Scrooge, but they prove helpfulf to the ISraelites and us as well

    Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, which tells us of Ebenezer Scrooge and Bob Cratchit, is a wonderful story.
