    God’s love is unconquerable. He reveals it through the intensity, integrity, and ingenuity of his love.

    God-Given Dreams (Mother's Day)

    Contributed by Chris Surber on May 12, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,142 views

    Of all of the dreams that God has given to women it occurs to me that probably no other dream is of a higher nature than that of being a mother. A mother’s love for her children is, at times, nothing short of astonishing.

    “God-Given Dreams” Acts 16:9-15 Introduction To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing our true self; to place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk ...read more

    An intentional life has purpose, discipline and vision. With these words in mind let’s begin exploring what it means to live an intentional life.

    1. The Generous Employer Series

    Contributed by Don Jaques on Feb 13, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,819 views

    The way into the Kingdom is by response to an invitation to come – not by justice (working for your wages). All people, regardless of background, can respond to God’s invitation and be rewarded with eternal life.

    In a rather shocking story that Jesus told to a crowd of people, he shared with them that the ways of God’s relating to people are actually quite a bit different from our rules of fairness, justice, and good economic principles. Listen now as I’ll tell you a story like Jesus told it – it comes ...read more

    The Gift Of Giving Series

    based on 18 ratings
     | 14,614 views

    This sermon is the seventh in a series of ten on Motivational Spiritual Gifts which communicates the characteristics of the gift of Giving in order to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal this gift to those who have it.

    In Romans 12:8b, the second phrase says in the KJV, “he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity or liberality.” The NIV says “if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously.” One of my favorite advertisements is the Red Cross Blood Banks appeal to “Give the Gift that ...read more

    based on 31 ratings
     | 13,779 views

    This sermon was developed to show how we often take small things and make them idols in our life. How we replace God as number one in our life with something else.

    Flee From Idolatry 1 Cor. 10:14-22 Prayer Introduction We often look down on the tribesman and the worshippers of Idols with disdain. We think that we are above having Gods made with our on hands but I want you to think about something the only difference between the idolatry of a tribesman ...read more

    So, when you think about it, Christmas is about giving and about presents. This brings us to the crux of our message this morning, how do we make a present of ourselves this Christmas? In order to answer this question, we need to take a good look at Sam

    THE PRESENTS OF CHRISTMAS The Present Of Ourselves INTRODUCTION: How does the song go, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year…” ?

    When God chooses a person to do his work, he does so with perfect insight and understanding of what kind of person he needs to get the job done. Our role is not to question his instructions but rather to submit and obey.

    I love the movie “A Christmas Story”. You know – the one with the young boy who dreams of getting a b.b. gun for Christmas. It’s got schoolyard bullies and neighbors dogs roaming through the house, and childhood dreams and memories of the way life used to be all wrapped up in one. This year ...read more
