    Jesus will meet us at what ever level our love and commitment. It is time for us to hit the stop button and to get off of the "Guilt" Merry-Go-Round. It is time to move forward in the faith and to be conformed into the image of Christ.

     | 26,530 views

    Whatever makes a person feel life is not worth living physically, socially, spiritually, financially, academically, professionally is a reproach. Reproach Degrades, Shames, Blames, Embarrasses, Disgraces. But God Says - No More Reproach.

    GOD HAS TAKEN AWAY MY REPROACH 1. Joshua 5: 2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives for yourself and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.” 3 So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 4 And this is the ...read more

    Life is filled with transitions—some welcomed, some unexpected. We can become so fixated on past experiences, whether victories or failures, that we struggle to move forward. But God calls us to embrace the new thing He is doing.

    Go! And Embrace the New Thing! - Isaiah 43:18-19 Isaiah 43:18-19 (NLT)"But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new.

    God is not interested in your past, He doesn’t want to see the syndicated reruns, He caught it the first time around. When the past seems to creep up on us, the accuser and you are the only ones who see it. You know what God sees? He only sees His

    Free yourself, from Yourself Romans 8:31 MSG. 31-39. So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he ...read more

    Have you ever felt stuck in the past? Maybe in a pain, a failure, or even a past victory? Sometimes, we look for God to move exactly as He did before. But God says in Isaiah 43:19, “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?”

    Monumental

    This sermon was preached at a church celebrating their 164th anniversary. We must not forget the blessings of the past because they serve as powerful reminders that whatever we face now or in the future as individuals or as a church, God is able.

    A friend of mine, pastor out at Long Church, was late to one of our weekly lectionary meetings. When he got there, he showed us a picture on his cell phone that explained why he was late.

    I wonder how many lives have ended hopelessly wondering if anybody cares? God calls us past sympathy to compassion.

    Who Cares? As Jesus and the disciples left the city of Jericho, a huge crowd followed behind. 30 Two blind men were sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was coming that way, they began shouting, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” 31 The crowd told them to be quiet, but they ...read more

    This sermon takes a look at the offers Jesus gives to us this Easter; namely forgiveness from our past, purpose for today, and hope for tomorrow.

    Have you ever heard the phrase, “It sounds to good to be true.” Some incredible offer that promises you great results with little cost or effort.

    We will never be as close to Christ as we could be or think we are if we are oblivious to today’s issues or build monuments to past achievements.

    We can be close to something, and yet miss it. We can be almost on target, almost where we want to .be, and yet, if we’re not exactly where we ought to be, we miss it. So near and yet so far. A couple of years ago, when my wife and I were touring England, we were in Victoria Station, one of the ...read more
