The Heart Of A Shepherd

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 15, 2014

David reflected God’s own heart as He faithfully tended his sheep, as well as when he later was the shepherd king over Judah and Israel. We need a shepherd’s heart to help us care for the people God brings into our lives.

THE HEART OF A SHEPHERD INTRO: Have you ever thought about what David’s life must have been like as a shepherd? He did not show up for work at 9 am. and go home at 5. He actually lived out in the fields or hills with the sheep. My understanding is that they did not do this year round ...read more

Aaronand Miriam: Racist Jealous Or Both?

We need deep, lasting, abiding peace. The only thing like that is the peace of Christ.

This is a beautiful passage of Scripture. I love the picture it paints. Do you think in pictures? Who here is a visual learner? I definitely am! My Dad was an accomplished artist, and he always taught me that when it comes to a painting, to visual design, the eye must be captivated by something in ...read more

Raising Your Kids To Be Followers Of Jesus Rather Than Fans

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013

If you approach the Bible as a book that you have to read, a bunch of rules that you have to memorize, then that is how your kids will approach it, too.

I read a story recently about three ladies who were sitting around and bragging about their children. The first one said, "You know my son, he graduated first in his class from Stanford, he’s now a doctor making $250,000 a year in Chicago." The second woman said, "You know my son, he ...read more

Defining Love - Genuine Love Isn't Normal Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013

Jesus followers are a weird group of people. We don’t live like other people. We don’t have the same priorities or look at life the same way as everyone else. Genuine love always points people to Jesus Christ.

Let’s just be real here. Jesus followers are weird people. We’re wacked. We say stuff and do things that most people around us find odd, or even dumb. For example, we look for ways to bless the kind of people that others want to avoid. We want to go to prison and love on inmates. ...read more

So...why are you here? Most of you know that is one of my favorite questions to ask. I believe it helps us to remember the reasons why we are supposed to be here even if sometimes that may not be the case. But have you ever asked yourself that question before; not as a deep theological ...read more

Good News And Bad News Series

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Aug 8, 2013

The phrase "I have good news and bad news" has pretty much been immortalized. But it reminds us that the sweet and bitter are often mixed together. Revelation paints such a 'good news-badnews' picture of life.

“The Great Unveiling: Good News and Bad News” Rev. 10:1 – 11:19 The phrase of “I have good news and bad news” has pretty much been immortalized. It’s often used jokingly, sometimes seriously; it points to the fact that things could be worse, or perhaps that ...read more
