    In this sermon we learn how to move beyond the regrets and sins of our past.

    Have you ever done something you later regretted; (or) have you missed an opportunity that you later regretted; (or) have you said something you later regretted? All of us know the pain of regrets. For some it could be the regret of a broken marriage. For some it could be the regret of an abortion. ...read more

    God calls us to value the past, but not to dwell in the past, and he calls us to live in the new, so we can see the new things God is doing.

    JUST AS HEAVY BAGS IN THE LITERAL SENSE WILL WEIGH YOU DOWN, HEAVY BAGGAGE FROM OUR PAST WILL ALSO WEIGH US DOWN SPIRITUALLY. THE CHALLENGE FOR US TODAY IS TO LET GO OF OUR PAST, OUR PAST PROBLEMS, OUR CARES, CONCERNS, MISTAKES, AND FAILURES.

    based on 38 ratings
     | 23,852 views

    Micah is the Prophet of the Messiah’s Advent, presenting the Salvation history of mankind - through Ruin caused by sin, temporary Reformation, proving the absolute need for Redemption by Jesus and Restoration of God’s Kingdom.

    The book of Micah isn’t one that springs to mind except perhaps at Christmas when we remember the well known verse, “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you be small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will rule over Israel, whose origins are from old, from ancient time” ...read more

    Failure Is Never Final

    based on 69 ratings
     | 11,702 views

    God’s choice of people with significant failure in their past shows that failure is never final.

    Americans love success. We celebrate it; work hard to achieve it; and honor those who attain it. Take the fourth of July as an example. Every year, we have parades, and speeches, and festivals and fireworks. On that day, all across the country, millions of people commemorate the birth of our ...read more

    Real belief in the power and character of Jesus takes us past human limitations

    Every once in a while, God does it to me. I can’t anticipate it. That would ruin the whole effect. No, it’s not in my planner for the day. It has to come out of the blue. But, just the same, I can count on it to happen. Has He done it to you? You know, have something happen that wakes you up, ...read more

    March 2007 Pastor’s Letter - Transformation often consumes the past in favor of the present reality of Christ; requiring us to allow the past to go peacefully to its rest.

    “Upon Further Review…” A consideration of less-than-instant replays. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

    Walls Come Tumblin' Down

    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,305 views

    We run into many walls we cannot seem to get past: estrangement, grief, illness. The way past those walls is described as Sabbath, symbol, silence, and shout.

    When you are up against a wall, there will be more than one way to deal with it. There will be the conventional way. And there will be the creative way. When you are up against a wall, there will be a way to break it down that costs a whole lot less than the usual way. All of us remember Mark ...read more

    Make The Best Use Of Your Time

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,706 views

    The two greatest enemies of transformation are regrets for things we did in the past, & anxiety about what will happen to us in the future. Many of us are living either in the past or in the future.

    Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. How are your priorities organized? Are you seeking love first? Money first? Kids first? Hobbies first? Churches and preachers may have told you in the past that if you don't put God ...read more
