    Kids In Worship...really?

    Contributed by Sarah Keith on Oct 10, 2009
     | 3,401 views

    Worship must be included among the basic disciplines of childhood in order to help them understand the honor and respect that is due our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

    Can you imagine never teaching children the alphabet, and then expecting them to read as adults? Or expecting to have emotionally healthy children, but never giving them hugs or expressing your love to them? If these basic things are so important, then isn’t it equally important to teach children ...read more

    The Lamb As Lord Part I Series

     | 3,578 views

    I fear that American Christians have largely lost their focus on holiness. We have allowed the things of this world and our own personal desires to distract us from loving and serving Jesus Christ as we should. The solution is to allow the Bible to renew

    Revelation 8:1-6; 15:1-8 Purpose: To display God’s wrath against sin. Aim: I want the listener to gain a greater sense of God’s awesome holiness. INTRODUCTION: The Lord is about to unmask the full fury of His wrath against sin. All of man’s vain attempts to excuse or ignore sin will be stripped ...read more

    As changes in worship style come, many will find the changes difficult to accept, but it will be easier if we see Liturgy as primarily a divine gift.

    May 4, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him, saying, "Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with them?"

    What God Is Looking For…

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on May 7, 2009
     | 2,246 views

    After seeing the disciples of Jesus hiding in the upper room it is hard to imagine that they had any vision of their own. That is why it is important to understand how God sees things and what he is watching for.

    Last week we looked at the slowness of Easter’s arrival for the disciples. They were locked away in a room. They were full of fear and doubts. Jesus appears, it would be easy to claim that that fixed everything for the disciples. But it did not; we know that if we read through the different ...read more

    God has a view of what he expects his children to be. In His view they are a family of priest sent to represent Him in the world.

    You and Me in the world Last week we talked about vision…We tried to see vision via God’s eyes….Which I believe is not limited by the walls of a building or a membership. A church that does not have a vision that extends past the walls or the church property is held back by man made limits and ...read more

    From the Parable of Jesus, lessons we can learn from the fig tree.

    Lessons from the Fig Tree Luke 13:6-9 * As a primary in Sunday school, my teachers taught me to define a parable in this way: “It is a earthly story told by Jesus which has a heavenly meaning.” I guess the only way I would amend this is to say that it has a “divine” (instead of heavenly) meaning. ...read more

    Third and final sermon in the second part of an initial 2009 series, ‘2 Things 2 B in 09’
