    The parable not only applies to those who have never met Christ, it also applies to those Christians who have lost their way in the busyness of their lives - vicars and pastors included!!

    Luke 15:1-10 Parable of the Lost Sheep Story: A young man who had been raised as an atheist –was training to be an Olympic diver. The only religious influence in his life came from his outspoken Christian friend. The young diver never really paid much attention to what his friend said about ...read more

     | 17,601 views

    Who is the church for? Believers or unbelievers? Or to use more contemporary terms - churched or unchurched. Listen today as Pastor Steve addresses who is the church in the midst of the seeker-sensitive movement.

    Recently I was invited to attend a church planters conference in Lake Yale. At that conference I was exposed to various teaching and methods for reaching the unchurched. As I sat there and listened and took notes, I couldn’t help to think how we have somehow missed it when it comes to the purpose ...read more

    How do you respond to God? Do you "bless" Him? What does that mean? Join Pastor Steve as he explains the meaning of 1 Peter 1:3.

    Peter tells his readers to “Bless” God. That phrase is very similar to what we saw in our study of Psalm 103:1-4, where David said: “Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your ...read more

    When a parishoner asked why didn't my move, a pastor responded some mountains are to be climbed, some are to be conquered, some are to be commanded. This message is about mtns that are cordoned off.

    Paul was not giving 21st Century Pastors a liturgy for administering Communion. He was admonishing people who eat together in the name of Jesus to eat with the right Spirit - a spirit of unity.

    Waiting Scripture: 1 Cor. 11:17-34 We were hungry. We had put in a long day at school. We had played hard outside after school. We were called inside by Mom or the porch light going on indicating it was time to come in. We had cleaned up for supper, which in itself was a daunting task, and ...read more

    I Could Not Have Done It Without You!

     | 13,710 views

    This is a lay pastor's appreciation message. It's about helping without always getting recognition for it. It looks at Hur in the Bible. Sometimes God wants us in the backgroung out of the spotlight.

    I Could Not Have Done It Without You. 1 Chronicles 11:10-14 Romans 16:2-13 How do you feel when someone does something and they look at you and say, “I Couldn’t Have Done It Without You.” Today as we honor our lay pastors and look back at how God has used us in the past, we say, we could not have ...read more
