    Today I would like to wrap this study up on Advent by asking the question - how can we respond to these truths we have studied together? And in trying to think of what would be an appropriate response I have gone not to the Bible but instead to a hymn, a

    We have been taking the diff. Sundays in December to reflect on Advent - the coming, the arrival of Jesus Christ into this world.

    Holy Wind Bags And A Sacred Sanctuary

    . So, today, I thought we would spend some time in the Word preparing for those messages by looking at Biblical views of our bodies. There are two passages that I think directly speak to us and give us a Biblical view of our bodies.

    Holy Wind Bags and the Sacred Sanctuary Genesis 2:4-7 & 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 INTRODUCTION… What your body does in a 24 hour period (http://www.bible.org/illus.php?topic_id=177) * your heart beats 103689 times * your blood travels 168,000,000 miles * you breathe 23040 times * you inhale 438 ...read more

    Zacchaeus

    based on 9 ratings
     | 22,032 views

    Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus teaches us about His ministry. Insignificant to us may be significant to Him; He always has time to minister; He doesn’t really care what self-righteous think; His mind was on His mission.

    LUKE 19:1-10 Imagine the story with me. Jesus is making his way to Jerusalem. He knew what awaited him there, he knew he was going to be received royally, then in a matter of days, he would be crucified and murdered. He understood this was God’s master plan to offer salvation to the world – ...read more

    Think camera shutter speeds: the longer they're open, the more light gets in. Corollary: the longer your 'exposure' to Jesus, the more concrete His Image will be on the photographic film of your soul. The 3 disciples who viewed the Transfiguration needed

    When we talk about surrendering to God we think of those who give Him one tenth of their income, or who become foreign missionaries. This account of Abraham reveals that God desires every believer to surrender everything - even their very life.

    I SURRENDER ALL? PART 1 God desires absolute surrender from every believer.

    Are You Religious Or Spiritual?

    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,332 views

    This week the texts seem to revolve around the idea that you can’t be "religious" but not "spiritual". It sounds like that tired line, "I’m spiritual but not religious". In the Gospel reading, I think it is interesting how Jesus heals both someone who wou

    Our Always True God Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 17, 2011
    based on 12 ratings
     | 15,125 views

    Should evil be done because God can bring good out of it? No, before God a good end does not justifies an evil means or method. For God is always true & He cannot be faithful to the unrighteous no matter who they are or how they think.

    ROMANS 3: 1-8 OUR ALWAYS TRUE GOD Most Jews believed that their possession of the law, circumcision, and an outward profession of relation to God, would provide salvation or acceptance before God for them. Paul has just demonstrated that these securities on which most Jews relied are false or ...read more

    Many parents have kidded themselves into thinking they were teaching their children right when they told them what to do, but never did it themselves. The child picked up all the vibes that were coming through, and did just like the parents did.

A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, after her mother ...read more

    Think about it, the creator of the majestic heavens is also the creator of man’s heart! Talk about reigning intimate in our lives!From God’s fixed place in heaven, He can powerfully fix anything broken in the human heart!

    It’s not clear who this writer is in Psalm 97, but we do know he is consumed with God being perfectly fixed in heaven! And all he can do is shout, “The Lord reigns!” Only God who is self sustaining and self sufficient can boast of these attributes! Have you ever thought of God as being so ...read more

    The War Within Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 7, 2011
     | 5,140 views

    Being human we are born with certain default settings that drive us to think in certain ways. When we become a Christian a war starts between a new nature seeking to establish a beachhead and take over and the old regime that wants to stay in control.

    The human mind is self-rationalizing. In other words, we will rationalize our thoughts and actions according to ourselves, rather than to some external source. Even when we read something or hear something and alter our behavior, it is because we choose to believe that thing we read or ...read more

    What You Get When You Give

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 15, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,803 views

    What happens when you give of your time, talents, and money? Many ministries teach that you will receive a material blessing for material giving. I think they completely miss the mark. Paul, in this chapter, sets out a wonderful pattern of the true result

    Last time we talked about the motivation behind giving, and the process for how to give: it comes from the word “generosity” which means simplicity, sincerity, and singleness. We give who we are, and what we have, back to the Lord who owns it all, for Him to take our simple gifts given ...read more
