    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 1, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 11,760 views

    As we gain a right understanding of how much worth and value each person has, as we come to see each other the way God sees us, then we will gain an appreciation for one another that will strengthen love and build community.

    This is the fifth and last message in our series on Building Community. In a society that is becoming increasingly fragmented, in which people seem more and more separated from one another, the church can be a refuge. More than a building, more than a Sunday morning meeting, more than an ...read more

     | 11,150 views

    We are going to see living faith in the lives of two people who couldn’t be more different than they were. The contrast between these two personalities would be complete if it had not been for one characteristic that would forever link them.

    Examples of Living Faith James 2:21-26 Preached by Pastor Tony Miano Pico Canyon Community Church April 22, 2001 Introduction: During the two weeks prior to Easter, we considered what James had to say about faith and good works—how the two are related and how the two are different.

    There are some fights that are worth fighting and others that are better avoided. Many people do not enjoy arguing, fighting or quarreling. Yet, you can tell what a person considers vital by what they are willing to fight for. The apostles found it necess

    Reasons to Fight the Good Fight (Acts 15:1-11) 1. Many people do not enjoy arguing, fighting or quarreling. Yet, you can tell what a person considers vital by what they are willing to fight for.

    As New Testament believers in America, about 2% of Christians are sharing their faith on a regular basis. Evangelistic tracts do not take the place of sharing our personal testimony but can be a valuable tool for being His witnesses in all four demographi

    One of the keys to participating in evangelism is to figure out how God can use your personality and gifts to make an impact in the lives of others. While Peter was quite confrontational in his approach, Paul utilized a more intellectual line of reasonin

    Who is He? What does He do with us? The Holy Spirit’s work and person are everywhere in Scripture and in our lives. This lesson surveys select Old and New Testament passages that inform and challenge us regarding the Holy Spirit.

    On the one hand, our Bibles begin with these words: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters… Gen. 1:1-2 Who moved upon the face of the ...read more

    We use a lot of mirrors to examine and determine the kind of person we are, but the only true mirror is God’s Word. Every other mirror will leave us with a warped view of ourselves. We must be transformed into the image of Christ.

    Reflections By Pastor Jim May (This sermon was presented using projected pictures of people standing in front of different carnival mirrors that distorted their true appearance) How we see ourselves will always determine how far we go in life, and how far we go with God.

    The young man who lost his linen cloth and ran away naked may be a wealthy person, depending on status; or Lazarus, living in the past, or Mark, caught in immaturity. But He who dropped another linen cloth gives life.

    Not too many years ago, Easter was the day on which everyone trotted out new clothes. It was on Easter that spring dresses sprung off the racks for young girls, and starched collars irritated the necks of young men. I don’t miss the starched collars, but I do rather miss the elaborate display of ...read more
