    The Real You Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 21, 2011
     | 3,827 views

    What is God like? Is your opinion of God based on an aloof, disconnected, or angry vengeful powerful being who is stern and judgmental? What would He be like if you ran into Him on the street? It might surprise you, but God is a lot like Galatians5:23-26.

    I had the opportunity to drive in a foreign country recently. At first I tried to use Google Maps directions but ended up hopelessly lost and confused. Finally I discovered that in this particular country you could find your ultimate destination by just getting to the next community. There would ...read more

    Who's In Charge? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 30, 2012
     | 5,661 views

    Face it, we humans like to be in charge of ourselves and as many others as we can. Though we aren't all power mongers, this default human behavior causes major problems when we see how God's universe really operates. The lesson comes home in this portion

    We as humans have various default behaviors that we engage in. I know that we as Christians don’t like to think that we are that way, but unless energy is expended in seeking healing from these default human behaviors, we will continue to do them naturally. Paul said in Philippians 2:12 ...read more

    Avoiding Dead Faith Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on May 3, 2012
     | 6,097 views

    James continues to remind us that faith is active. It is not mere mental assent but obediently imitating God by loving our neighbors.

    1. Secret Service A man was coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. (You know. The preacher’s job is to: shake them in, shake them up, and shake them out!) Well, he grabbed the guy by the hand and pulled him aside. The preacher ...read more

    True Love Part 4 - Love Goes The Distance Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 14, 2011
     | 4,583 views

    As we come to the end of our series on love we learn that true love 'goes the distance.' Love does not have limits, nor will it ever end. So how do you get this love flowing through your life? We also learn that a person who wants to mature in their faith

    Growing up in a world that doesn’t know God, doesn’t understand God, doesn’t act like God and doesn’t want anything to do with God, it is not surprising that the default value for humanity is “every man for himself.” Get what you deserve and make sure no one else ...read more

    Crossroads

    Contributed by David Smith on Mar 20, 2011
     | 7,717 views

    God ordered Abram to leave Haran (which means "crossroads") and journey to an unknown land that he would guide him to - this was the crossroad of Israel's begninning.

    2nd Sunday of Lent - Genesis 12:1-4a Well I must admit when I first read over the lessons for today, I said to myself, Richard knew what he was doing being away this Sunday. What more could I possibly say about Abrams walk of faith with God? What could I say about “being born again” ...read more

    Bring It On

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,619 views

    Too often, we run from challenges. Yet the people we love to read about in the Bible are impressive because they battled challenges. If God sends you on stony paths, He will provide you with strong shoes.

    Opening illustration: A TV program on the History Channel featured the world’s most extreme airports. The one that caught my attention is no longer open, but it is one I had flown into. I agree that Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport was definitely a thrill ride for passengers and surely a challenge for ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Jan 24, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,427 views

    The second of two sermons about King Asa, there are some interesting parallels in this about how we can seek after God's desire for us. Pride, fear, etc can take over and we end up not relying on what God wants for us. He desires to strengthen us.

    King Asa, Rely. Last week, I talked about a King of Judah, by the name of? (Asa) Prior to him the nation of Israel had other kings three reasonably onto it Kings, being who?

    Jerusalem, in the hands of the Jebusites, represents for every child of God, those “unconquerable things” that has taken up residence in our lives.

    INTRO: 1. When we think of Jerusalem we think of it as the pearl and glory of all Israel. a. No other place in the world is considered as sacred by so many as is Jerusalem.
