    How many have come this morning expecting something from God… How many have come this morning and are willing to not let go and seek him until you receive what you came for?

    I just feel like something good is about to happen! Illus. I heard a story about a scrawny kid from West Texas who attended a small high school.

    there’s always going to be something to take your focus off of the truth, someone telling you can’t do this or that, but God would have me tell you, you can. As long as you focus on Jesus your life coach, your guide and instructor, there’s no mountain you can’t climb

    “Lead me on to the top of the mountain, lead me safe to the other side, take my hand dear Lord and guide me, as long as you're going I don't mind the climb!” Those are the lyrics from the song Lead me on, by the Ernest Carter Trio. In life, everyone wants to go to the top of the mountain, very ...read more

     | 6,785 views

    Take eat and drink of my body. That is a command our Lord Jesus made. There is no getting away from it, but should we do this. Why is it relevant, and where does the power emanate? Do we need to know? Can we wriggle out of it, with consequences?

    Opening illustration: If God was taking resumes, what would you put on yours? In other words, what makes a good Christian? What would really impress them when you arrive in heaven? Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more
