    Christmas Begins With God

     | 6,199 views

    Christmas reveals to us that God knows us and our problem, He loves us because we are precious to Him, and He saves us because heaven is where we ought to belong.

    1 John 4:9-10 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Christmas was God’s idea. It has never been ...read more

    We, who were ceated for the express purpose of having fellowship with God, have a tendency to work incredibly hard at abandoning Him.

    HIDE AND SEEK Matthew 10:26-27 What does it mean to "abandon," "forsake," or "leave alone" the omnipresent God, God who is everywhere. How is that possible? It is ONLY possible if God allows us to leave, allows us to turn our back upon God Himself. Yes, it is much like the parent playing "Hide and ...read more

    We have been given authority and power in order to become overcomers in the present circumstances. We do not need to succumb to the pressures around us but can live overcoming lives.

    Valley Grove Assembly of God May 3, 2009 Keeping Our Balance in a Topsy Turvey World Colossians 2:6-16 INTRODUCTION: There are many things that upset the apple cart in our “topsy turvy” world. One of them is the downturn in the economy with the loss of ...read more

     | 5,642 views

    The power of Lent is in the wilderness of letting go and disengaging with the world so that we can reconnect to God.

    Introduction: The temptation of Jesus in the wilderness is a pivotal event in His life. It is recorded in Mark, Luke, and Matthew. This week we read Matthew’s account. It comes right after Jesus is baptized by John in the Jordan and before His formal ministry begins. Hear now the word of the ...read more

     | 8,082 views

    This is another in a youth series that parallels Superman’s super-strength with Jesus’ infinite power.

    More Powerful than a Locomotive One of the most remarkable of Superman’s powers and abilities is his sheer strength. The old radio serial of the 1940’s boasted that Superman “could change the course of mighty rivers,” and “bend steel in his bare hands.” One of Joe Shuster’s earliest sketches of ...read more

    This is the first in a series on: Communicating With God. This sermon is intended to ask: How Well Do We Listen?

    Communicating With God: How To Listen To God’s Voice One of the basic claims we have as Christians is that God is alive and He wants to have a relationship with us. In fact our salvation is based on the relationship we have with God. But you can not have a relationship with someone without ...read more

     | 4,562 views

    Three basics for living the Christian life from the Book of James - Be Teachable, Live a moral life, and embrace the Word of God.

    I’ve got to be honest with you -- I hate following instructions. If at all possible, I’d rather try to figure things out for myself than look at an instruction manual. I think it’s a guy thing. But it’s true. And it doesn’t really matter what it is. It can be setting the clock on the VCR, figuring ...read more

     | 8,899 views

    We should insist on acknowledging and honoring Christ in the way He has directed us in His word, not in a way that men determine for themselves.

    Many people today are celebrating the birthday of Jesus. Most religious groups will have some observance of Christmas, commonly held to be the day Christ was born. And yet, there are some churches that have their doors closed this Sunday morning. We are not doing so here because we have no divine ...read more

     | 8,395 views

    You can count on Jesus because he is compassionate, he knows your needs, and he provides.

    How many different ways can you count the objects you see on the screen? You can count them one by one. You can count them in groups of twos or threes (2, 4, 6… or 3, 6, 9…). Counting in English isn’t so difficult. Counting in Japanese, however, is another matter. It’s not that adding up the total ...read more

    What characterizes the life of the truly spiritual Christian?

    As we have considered the beatitudes thus far, we have talked about how Jesus says that happiness is found in brokenness, happiness is found in mourning, happiness is found in meekness, and now, we will look at what Jesus had to say about how happiness is found in hungering and thirsting after ...read more
