    Be willing to make sacrifices so that the will of God can be accomplished through your life. We are called to carry our own cross and to renew such a commitment every day.

    Crosses are everywhere these days. You see them on buildings, stationery, jewelry shops… • You noticed now that crosses seem to be a chief feature of punk style and the outfits of young celebrities, even rock band members. • Crosses have become a standard fashion accessory. Crosses didn’t have ...read more

    There Were Two Brothers

    As we approach this third parable, the Lord seeks to contrast the lost with those who are not. Our tendency is to focus on the younger son in the parable, and to completely miss the elder son. Today, I hope to be the exception to that tendency.

    There Were Two Brothers Luke 15:11-32 INTRODUCTION: This parable is the third of a trilogy of parables. The first parable in the group was that of the shepherd and the lost sheep. This parable told of the shepherd leaving the 99 sheep and searching for the one lost sheep. The truth communicated ...read more

    The Devil is a Thief and a Robber. Christians need to put a stop to the Devil’s acts of thievery in their lives. Satan takes advantage of Christians because they are ignorant of his devices and do not understand what belongs to them in Christ. How Satan s

    LET HIM THAT STOLE STEAL NO MORE John 10:10 KJV The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

    What Position Do You Play?

    One of the ways we get in “shape” for God is as the Spirit transforms us as we discover and utilize our spiritual gifts for our place “on the team.”

    At a recent “Y” league basketball practice one of the boys’ coaches began to ask them questions about the game. “What is offense?” “What is defense?” And he explained what it means to be on defense and what it means to be on offense. Then he assigned positions. To some he assigned the position of ...read more

    Encouraging the Church not to slam her doors in the face of Christ with complacency and spiritual blindness.

    HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A STRAIGHT RIVER? CANALS ARE STRAIGHT, BUT ALL RIVERS SEEM TO BE CROOKED. WE WOULD CALL THIS "MEANDERING." WHY ARE RIVERS CROOKED? THEY ARE CROOKED BECAUSE THE NATURAL TENDENCY OF A RIVER IS TO TAKE THE EASIEST WAY AROUND ANY OBSTACLE. SO RIVERS ARE ALWAYS CROOKED, AND THEY ...read more

    Making Sacrifices

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 27, 2007

     | 8,523 views

    Be willing to make sacrifices for God and be blessed. When we give of ourselves, God’s will can be fulfilled. Ask, what does God expects from us today?

    We tend to position ourselves on the receiving end, and ask God for His blessings. • Surely He loves us and we know He will bless us and help us through life. • We need also to see ourselves on the ‘giving’ end, and offer to God what He expects from us. It’s good to get the right perspective. • ...read more

    In the church there are a lot of Rip Van Winkle Christians--who go to sleep not long after they made the decision to follow Christ.

    Ephesians 5:8-14 INTRODUCTION: How many have heard the statement, “They are as different as day and night.”? Paul is using this same kind of contrast between darkness and light when he is speaking of the old life without Christ as compared to the new life in Christ. In this scripture Paul is ...read more

    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
