    So many people have decided they've messed up too many times for God to ever love them. But what does God have to say about that? Check out these thoughts from Family Minister Scott Jewell

    Knowing I was headed to inner city ministry, I decided it could be useful to have my ear pierced as a conversation starter. How'd that work? I'd go to the local park to play basketball, often getting picked first so I could go home and tell my friends about how I got to hoop with ...read more

    Christian life and ministry getting rough?

    When I was a new Christian I wanted to be like Peter and Paul. I wish I had been more specific because I have found that I have a lot of their weaknesses, but I was hoping for their strengths.

     | 9,057 views

    While most people --including many professing Christians -- indiscriminately follow the popular culture and focus their lives on either looks, materialism, popularity, success, power, prestige, or social acceptance -- why should we pursue God and godlines

    How Should We Then Live? 2 Peter 3:11-12, 17-18 1. I just came back from a pastor's conference, and I had a good time.

    Jesus said that if He was lifted up, he would draw all men unto Him. "Lifted up" has a double meaning. Here it means being lifted up on a cross

    Lifted Up on High John 19:16-24 Introduction Last week we saw the fateful decision of the Jewish leaders to accept Caesar and reject Jesus. This was in effect the end of the Jewish nation. No longer do the physical descendants of Abraham through Jacob have any exclusive privilege with God. The ...read more

    An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth seemed rather fair but Jesus had a better, more difficult way to settle things.

    As some of you remembered back in May, four weeks before my very first cruise, I fell at the local Y injuring my shoulder. What followed was accident reports being filed, doctor visits, ex-rays, MRIs, and the diagnosis of shoulder surgery. Looking on the internet I was discovering the cost was to ...read more

    Let us all take out our towels from our drawers and kneel down before others, and serve them as Jesus serves us, by loving them unto the end. Let us each serve our Lord, by serving all people, in the grace of God’s ultimate and sacrificial love.

    INTRO One of the neatest gifts I’ve ever received was this little, hand towel. I was given this during my seminary commencement, and have cherished it ever since. The towel has a little saying on it: “Blessed to be a blessing” Isaiah 61:1. Isaiah 61:1-2 says: “The ...read more
