    The calling of Peter, what does it take to become a follower of Jesus?

    I’m not sure that’s exactly how it shook down, but it can’t be too far off! Jesus had ascended to heaven and the disciples were left there to make sense of it all, to carry on the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ. They had no idea their efforts would turn into this (look around) ...read more

    Painful. Dry. Taxing. Rewarding. Seasons . . . they are common to all of us. These truths will help us negotiate these phases of our life and journey in Christ.

    Tis’ The Season I. Introduction It is during this time of the year that I often begin to think about seasons. Deer season, turkey season, basketball season, and yes . . . Christmas season.

     | 5,683 views

    This sermon addresses burnout in the ministry and how the Christian should maintain a balance of work, worship and rest.

    How powerful is your faith? A better question: How powerful is WHO you place your faith in?

    Is this logic true…. I believe I am successful – therefore I am successful. I believe I will prevail – therefore I prevail. I believe in God – therefore there is a God. If I believe in something strong enough, does my belief somehow shape the resulting situation, reality, event? We have all seen ...read more

    It all started in a small 2nd story room in Jerusalem on the Jewish feast of Pentecost. “They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues.” In those few words, we find the unique emphasis of our church.

    The Empowering Experience of the Spirit Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church, writes; “mention the power of the Holy Spirit and most people think of miraculous demonstrations and intense emotions. Most of the time the power of the Holy Spirit is released in your life in quiet, unassuming ...read more

    Blood And The One Blood

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,654 views

    All of us are more alike than we are different, even those who are well outside our values. We need to see the broken as brothers and sisters in search of God, and to feel urgency about reaching them.

    If blood is supposed to be thicker than water, meaning that we have a primary responsibility to our families, then I guess we had better know who our families are. I guess we’d better know who our blood kin are if blood is thicker than water, as the saying goes, and there is some kind of special ...read more

    Jesus’ healing of the man born blind forced his disciples to rethink their theology, forced his neighbors to rethink their perception of him as victim, and forces us to rethink our posture toward healing ministries.

    Have you noticed that when you get sick, you get sick all over? When some part of your body isn’t up to par, then the whole person, the whole self, feels bad.
