The Great Impressionist Series

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Aug 15, 2013

Good impressionists are a joy to watch, and they command our attention. But the greatest impressionist of all is not a joy to watch, but still commands our attention. We meet him in the book of Revelation.

“The Great Unveiling: The Great Impressionist” Revelation 12:1-13:18 I’m always captivated by good impressionists – people who can mimic the voices, quirks, and facial nuances of others. It’s a tremendous talent and takes a great amount of study and work to do it ...read more

The Olivet Discourse in Luke 21:5-38 teaches us that Jesus is coming again and has given us signs that ought to make us pray and get ready for his coming to establish his kingdom.

Serving Like Jesus Series

Contributed by David Owens on Feb 8, 2016

In this first sermon, I establish that we must be conformed into the likeness of Jesus. Because He was a servant, we must also become servants. A resource I am basing the series on is Charles Swindoll's "Improving Your Serve."

Thinking Like A Servant Series

Contributed by David Owens on Feb 22, 2016

I have borrowed a lot of this sermon from Rick Warren's book The Purpose Driven Life, chapter 34, "Thinking Like a Servant." In that chapter, Warren suggests that there are five attitudes that servants need to have.

Introduction: A. Someone has said, “Some minds are like concrete; thoroughly mixed and permanently set.” 1. How about you? How is your thinking? 2. Are you spiritually minded? Do you have the mind of a servant? 3. Or is your mind like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set in a ...read more
