Authority

Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Feb 4, 2006

Christians are to live with the athority of God. However, most never use it so they loose it.

Authority This morning we are considering the word authority. For young people it is a bad word….almost a “four letter” word.. Normally, there is an almost automatic resistance to any kind of an authority. I have heard kids say “you are not the boss of me!” Usually when a friend or someone ...read more

Contrasts Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 7, 2006

What are those things that bring your heart closer to God and what are those that drive you further away? We learn them from studying contrasts in people Jesus tells us about or encounters in this chapter.

This is a chapter of contrasts. There are two kinds of people represented here: those that think they have it together, and those that know they don’t. Jesus gives us the contrast between them by showing us various different portraits. I think the idea is to give us a picture of what our approach ...read more

Fitting Jesus Into Your Mold

Contributed by Douglas Bryan on Feb 17, 2003

Too many times peopele, including Christians, fill their lives with all of their wants and desires and then try to fit Jesus into the room that is left. God said to seek first His Kingdom. We should strive to conform to His mold for our lives.

FITTING JESUS INTO YOUR MOLD Luke 18:18-27 INTRODUCTION: A. In the skit that our young people just performed we see that Jesus wasn’t very cooperative with their ideas about Him or about how He should act 1. Jesus simply did not fit into the mold that they had created. 2. Do you ever have ...read more

1. The Generous Employer Series

Contributed by Don Jaques on Feb 13, 2007

The way into the Kingdom is by response to an invitation to come – not by justice (working for your wages). All people, regardless of background, can respond to God’s invitation and be rewarded with eternal life.

In a rather shocking story that Jesus told to a crowd of people, he shared with them that the ways of God’s relating to people are actually quite a bit different from our rules of fairness, justice, and good economic principles. Listen now as I’ll tell you a story like Jesus told it – it comes ...read more

Transformation

Contributed by Craig Condon on Feb 14, 2015

Stories like the story of the Transfiguration bring us closer to God and draw us farther away from the world. We need to figure out how to listen for God’s voice among the noise of our worldly lives.

Have you ever had an experience that was so powerful that it changed your life? I have-that’s why I’m able to stand before you today and preach the good news. Jesus had several powerful experiences, including his Transfiguration, which we heard about in Mark 9:2-9. Transfiguration is a ...read more

God Sees All And Knows All, Especially Our Hunger

Contributed by Craig Condon on May 21, 2015

It is better for us to confess our sins before we are forced to do so by getting caught. When we do, the burden of guilt will not be able to limit our spiritual growth and our worship and prayers will not be hindered.

There is a program on the Investigation Discovery Channel called “I Almost Got Away with It”. The story of David and Bathsheba would be a perfect one for that show, especially the part where the prophet Nathan confronts David. David thought that he had committed the perfect crime by ...read more
