    Carlyle wrote, "Labor is Life." Jesus wants us to be sure that we are laboring for the right life.

    Pastor John Piper writes, “In 1956 a commemorative Labor Day stamp was issued with a picture of a strong man holding a sledge hammer, a pick, a hoe, and an ax over his shoulder. His wife was seated by his side with a book in her lap showing a small child how to read. In the lower left hand corner ...read more

     | 45,510 views

    We all have scars on our bodies, and each scar has a memory that reminds us that moment when the scar was received. When Jesus looks at his hands, he sees his scars. What do those scars mean to Jesus? Love.

    The Scars Of Life The Rev. Dr. W. Maynard Pittendreigh We have been studying the Gospel of John since the Second Sunday of Eastertide. We have moved through this Gospel, studied its miracles, signs and teachings. We now come to the last two Sundays of this Gospel. This morning we turn our ...read more

    I don’t think we serve a second rate God that is happy with our leftovers. If really believe that there is none like God, then there should be nothing like the commitments and sacrifices we are willing to make to please Him.

    Introduction — Cathy Rigby was a member of the U.S. Women’s Gymnastics Team during the 1972 Olympics held in Munich, Germany. As the reigning United States champion she had only one goal in mind— to win a gold medal. Prior to the Olympics she had trained longer and harder than she ever had before. ...read more

    Christ calls us to come outside of the norm of everyday life and take our stand with Him...alone.

    Life Outside Hebrews 13:10-16 Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born into a family where faith was not much of a concern or topic of conversation, but as a 14 year old, Dietrich Bonhoeffer announced that he was going to be a pastor and theologian.

    Facts are facts, but not all facts are helpful in life.

    INTRO.- Facts are facts, but not all of them are helpful to us in life. ILL.- For example, consider this fact about fleas. A flea can jump well both vertically and horizontally.

    Paul tells us in 2Corinthians 5:17; " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" What does he mean?

    “Walking in the Newness of Life” How many of you made a New Year’s Resolution? Now, just for our own little survey, how many have already broken that resolution, which by the way I might add was made less than a week ago? It’s a strange custom that we have isn’t it? Near the end ...read more

    Life In The Spirit Series

    based on 234 ratings
     | 13,020 views

    If we wonder whether we’re truly followers of Christ then this is one way God helps us: are our minds set on the things of God, is our failure to obey, something we struggle with, do we relate to God as our father, rather than someone distant and remote?

    I keep coming across people who are struggling with whether their faith is real. People whose Christian experience is something like what Paul describes at the end of Romans 7. They struggle to believe that they could be truly God’s children when their life is so full of sin. If you’re one of those ...read more

    Last week I commented that you sounded wonderful as you sang and how I wish that all of us present this morning could have heard the children sing this past week at VBS.

    Even though we accept Christ and have faith, we still encounter storms.

    A little background might be helpful in understanding our Gospel lesson this morning. Everywhere Jesus went multitudes of people have been following Him. Now remember, Jesus just suffered the loss of John the Baptist, His disciples had just returned from the mission trip He had sent them on. And ...read more

    People know about God, listen to people talk about God, and even claim to be Christian. Yet many still feel far from God. A relationship with God is like drinking coffee. How do we move from doing to being?

    Get a Life 4/21/02 AM By Brad Dyrness You know you have had too much coffee when … 1. You answer the door before people knock. 2. You speed walk in your sleep. 3. You grind your coffee beans in your mouth. 4. You have to watch videos in fast-forward. 5. You go to the AA Meetings just to get ...read more
