    Heaven Is A Party Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 24, 2013
     | 7,037 views

    Heaven is party-central, and the party starts now, but doesn't get into full gear till we get to Heaven, or when Jesus returns--whichever comes first.

    When Biblical writers speak of Heaven, they often use figurative language. I suspect the reason is that they’re trying to express heavenly realities with the limitations of human language. Trying to describe Heaven to us is like trying to describe this world to an unborn child. And so ...read more

     | 8,381 views

    Being a man after God's own heart does not mean totally sinless but one who is trying. Keeping your eyes on the goal is the key.

    INTRODUCTION 1. David spent much of his early life alone a. His best friends were sheep and his enemies wild animals b. He seems to have been alone much of his early life 2. His training as king seems to have been done in secret 3. It was even a secret ceremony when he was anointed king 4. Samuel ...read more

     | 12,160 views

    We believe in God's Miracle Working Power. We spent more time waiting for the miracle than actually seeing it.

    The Most "Irrefutable" Argument Christians Face In The Homosexual Debate

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 19, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,033 views

    One of the most powerful arguments in the homosexual marriage debate is “I didn’t choose my sexuality – it came naturally to me.” This message addresses that argument.

    - Let’s up front acknowledge a couple of things: a. Gay marriage is here to stay in America for the foreseeable future. That’s just a political reality. b. Christians who claim homosexuality is wrong are going to be in the minority for the foreseeable future. - I think it’s ...read more

    Beginning To Sink

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 19, 2013
     | 7,469 views

    The story of Peter walking on the water and beginning to sink provides excellent lessons for us to prevent us from beginning to sink in the trouble waters of life.

    There are two sights in human life which fill the heart with profound sorrow. The first sight is that of a person who has sunk amid the troubled waters of life. It is the one whose once youthful face is no more because of rough, hard living. It is the person who had a good raising, who wore good ...read more

    Building an accrositc off the word FRIENDS, we'll explore what it means to be a friend to Jesus.

    I think the secret is out of the bag… God made us social creatures. From the very beginning, God has wanted us to share life and its experiences with godly friends. He wants to have someone to weep with and rejoice with, to share life with. To be friendless, to have no one to share life with, ...read more
