     | 3,392 views

    We learned them as children, but did we learn from them? There is truth wrapped up in these tales!

    I. Introduction We learned them as children. They are forever burned into our memory. However, just because we learned them doesn't mean we learned from them. Let's look at one of these fairytales we know so well and see if we can learn from it today. Once upon a time, there was a little ...read more

    We are going to continue to discuss things that we as human beings want more of…things like joy and freedom…but today we are going to talk about something that we not only want more of, but we seem to expect more of others when we are hurting or in trouble…compassion

    When it comes to compassion, I can’t help but think of the following story… While pulling out of her driveway, Georgene noticed a mangled ball of fur laying in the street. She pulled the car back into the driveway and walked over to discover that her son’s cat had been run over by a car. Not ...read more

    Jesus is not some historical person -- He's alive today and relevant to our lives! Thomas, the skeptic, asked for unreasonable proofs of the resurrection, but Jesus proved it beyond all doubt!

    THIS JESUS IS ALIVE! John 20:19-20, 24-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Little Stinkers 1. Ms. Smith was assigned to be a monitor on the playground and caught little Johnny making ugly faces and scaring other kids. 2.

     | 3,770 views

    The invitation is clear: DRAW NIGH TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NIGH TO YOU... If the earth is iron and the heavens are brass maybe someone is moving away from God. John is the only person recorded to lay his hear on Jesus' breast? How about you? At Jesus' feet!

    YOU DECIDE… COME? NO BETTER PLACE THAN AT HIS FEET…. By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aolcom (This is a two part lesson.) There was a bulldog that was known for being a bully in his neighborhood. His owner kept him chained to a big oak tree. The bulldog’s chain was 15 feet ...read more

    Because of my mother's love for me, I made it

    As we honor our mothers it’s respectable for us to think about how much they really do for us. And let me just throw this in from the start, being a mother is not an easy task. It is said that when a child has reaches the age of 18, a mother has put in about 18,000 hours of child-generated work, so ...read more

    John the Baptist is not sure that Jesus is the anointed 'Messiah'

    Matthew 11:2-11 In the past two weeks, our Advent lessons have taught us to prepare to celebrate both the past and the future - to celebrate both the birth of Jesus 2,020 years ago and to heighten our anticipation of his coming anew at a date and time no one knows for sure. The lessons have ...read more

    Prejudice is a social evil present in every culture of our fallen world. It is holding negative attitudes towards others based on generalizations and stereotypes, resulting in discrimination. It is forming conclusions without consulting the facts.

    The Apostle Paul affirms the unity and diversity of all nations in Acts 17. He was addressing Greeks who regarded themselves as superior race. Race matters only to racists; the rest of us care about character. It is distressing how people have twisted this passage to justify segregation. In ...read more

    - Growing up I was a beach bum. When summer rolled around there wasn't a week that went by that I wasn't throwing on my bathing suit, grabbing my towel and heading down to the beach.

    Believe it or not, you don’t have to have it all together to serve Jesus Christ. In this week’s study of the Gospel of Mark we learn how Jesus trained His disciples through disappointment and death to bring the gospel.

    Sports teams always like to play before a hometown crowd. Here in Portland they say that the “fan factor” can really help the Trailblazers win games.

    based on 10 ratings
     | 2,724 views

    Israel, Rome, and we all think we have God figured out. God has in Christ done so much more; and when it looks as though the wrappings must be thrown away, there is more yet.

    With all wisdom and insight he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. Every child ought to have at least one mystery package. ...read more
