    I believe that we must be a church that has the courage and the heartbeat of God to reach people of every culture and situation, people who are lost and broken, people who are tattooed and pierced and in baggy clothes, people who are different from us in

    BUILDERS MT 7:24-27 TEXT Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on ...read more

    When we follow Jesus, he will lead us beyond our comfort zone with people, especially people we are not naturally drawn to.

    Note: This sermon was introduced with a scene from "Traveling Light" All of us have limits and boundaries that make us uncomfortable if we go beyond them. I was reminded of this back in November when my oldest son and I went to the Promise Keepers "Passage" event at the Anaheim Pond. At one point ...read more

    This is the 2nd in a two-part message on our responsibility to forgive based on God’s forgiveness of us. This part focuses on our forgiveness to others.

    False Teaching - Health Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Apr 11, 2002
    based on 46 ratings
     | 6,734 views

    Does God guarantee health? Are the sick, crippled and disabled faithless and outside of God’s will?

    False Teachings About Health One of the tragedies about the health and wealth ’gospel’ is that it excludes any who aren’t perfect. If you are sick, you are a sinner or you lacks faith. Those in poverty, illness, disabilities, trials and suffering are told that they are faithless, under God’s ...read more

    Contributed by David Dykes on Mar 31, 2003
    based on 76 ratings
     | 43,273 views

    The dark road to the Cross was full of rejection and pain, but and Jesus emerged on the other side of the cross into the brilliance of resurrection life! This road is also the pattern for every disciple.

    The Road to the Cross Luke 18:31-34 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION Communicating clearly is always a challenge for us. When we use the wrong word or mix up our words the result is often humorous.

    What Is God Really Like? Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Apr 4, 2003
    based on 679 ratings
     | 198,074 views

    Like the father in the parable of the Prodigal Son, God regrets your rebellion but loves you so much he will let you walk out of fellowship with him. But He is also a God who runs to you when you return and restores you when you repent.

    What is God Really Like? Luke 15:11-24 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION What is God really like? Some people think the most important question of life is “Do you believe in God?” But a more important question is “What kind of God do you believe in?” There is something worse than being an atheist - ...read more

    God says we should treasure time as a valuable commodity. The Bible gives us some great insight into how time can become your friend rather than your enemy.

    Family T.I.M.E. Psalm 90:1-2, 4, 10, 12 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION One of my favorite stories is about the man who worked at a factory.

    The Supreme Question Of Life Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 15, 2003
    based on 405 ratings
     | 117,053 views

    Many scholars believe this passage was based on a hymn that was sung by the early church. We all need to answer the question: Is Christ prominent in my life, or is He preeminent? He doesn’t just want a place in our lives, He demands first place.

    The Supreme Question of Life In Thursday’s Washington Post, an article appeared about a new church in the state of Maryland. I won’t reveal the name of the denomination that is behind this endeavor because I don’t want to publicly criticize it from the pulpit. You can look it up when this sermon ...read more

    Giving With Grace Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 24, 2003
    based on 38 ratings
     | 14,520 views

    God not only required a tithe in the Old Testament, He challenged His people to respond to Him when He says, “Test me in this.” This is the only time in the Bible when God tells us to test Him.

    Giving With Grace That drama really captures the different attitudes that people have about giving. Some feel pressured or guilty, while others of us find a lot of joy when we give ­ if we remember to bring our wallets! That reminds me of a man and his son who went to church together. On their ...read more

    While we often question God’s love, we can rest assured that He has poured out His favor on His people.

    Experiencing God’s Love A man was having a hard time getting out of bed one Sunday morning. “Get up. It’s time to get ready for church!” He just grumbled and replied grumpily, “I don’t want to go to church today. Those people at church don’t like me.

    based on 384 ratings
     | 141,744 views

    Here’s a simple definition: “God’s faithfulness means that everything He says and does is certain.” He is 100% reliable, 100% of the time. He does not fail, forget, falter, change, or disappoint. He says what He means and means what He says ­ and there
