    Service to others as a reflection of Christ’s love, even as we ourselves become tired of service and look forward to being served and desire attention.

    When you were a child, perhaps you were part of a large family, there may have been many people who needed to use the bathroom, many mouths to feed, and never, ever, any private space. In families such as those, there are often a lot of rules. Don’t pester the adults. Do your chores, help out ...read more

     | 7,257 views

    When we fail to keep God’s temple clean, God will clean it for us eventually and get our attention while doing it.

    WHEN GOD CLEANS HOUSE Matthew 21:12-16 INTRO As we read of the Temple being cleansed by Jesus for the extortion that was taking place there, we often focus our attention on the temple building.

    based on 24 ratings
     | 4,048 views

    The heart of this message is how very easy it is for us to miss some of the really BIG issues of the Christian life because our focus and attention is elsewhere.

    DID YOU SEE THE GORILLA? Matthew 28:16-20 1. “Most people like to think of themselves as alert and aware. But under the right circumstances, even the most observant people can be blind to what’s going on around them.” • With those words CBS commenced a report entitled “What You See Depends on ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,773 views

    In beginning an interim pulpit ministry, God directed my attention to Abram/Abraham as a paradigm of faith. Some will object to the almost typological approach to these texts.

    Famine in the Promised Land Text: Genesis 12:1-20 Today, may or may not be the beginning of a journey together. But whether God allows me to stay with you over a long period of time or whether today is merely a temporary lesson for an eternal purpose, God has placed this message on my heart. Today, ...read more

     | 9,965 views

    So oftentimes, emotions function like the lights on our dashboard. When the engine light comes on, something needs to be paid attention to.

    Today I want to talk about our emotional life. Maybe this is an area for you that seems out-of-control for you. Or perhaps the opposite: you feel a bit dead, almost feeling-less. Recently Time magazine even ran an article about how to handle your emotions during tough economic times. I’m ...read more

    "To interpret a biblical text, we need to be patient, to put aside all other concerns, and to give it our time, interest and undivided attention."

    Thursday of 18th Week in Course This day we commemorate St. Clare of Assisi, the friend of St. Francis who founded the second Order of Franciscans for women religious, or the Poor Clares.

    based on 9 ratings
     | 16,415 views

    We are to direct people’s attention to Jesus. We have faith in the Person of Jesus, not faith in ’faith’ or our efforts. The more you know Him, the stronger your faith.

    It is not an everyday affair that you see a miracle. These men just did and they were shocked. • The people stared at Peter and John as if they were the ones who made this man walked (v.12). • Peter directed the people’s attention to JESUS. He did not explain much about the miracle. Acts 3:16 By ...read more

    Three times people did not recognize the Risen Jesus. This looks at why. There were spiritual reasons, of course, but also real physical reasons too. This looks at what distracts us from seeing Jesus.

    John 20:10-18 – Distractions Today we are continuing our series called He is Risen Indeed, messages about Jesus rising from the dead and what that means for us some 1976 years later.

    based on 7 ratings

    God is speaking to us through our worship, in the songs we sing, the Scriptures read and the message delivered. What you will walk away with will be determined by how well you listen to God. What is necessary to listen well?

    Listening to God I Samuel 3:1-10 Charles Stanley in a sermon from Nehemiah once asked, “How is it that two people can sit in the same pew, hear the same sermon about the same portion of Scripture, and walk away with two different reactions? One is joyful and the other unaffected.” God ...read more
