    Running ourselves to death is nothing new to God, who created everything with a precaution in mind-or perhaps an antidote-to exhaustion: Sabbath Rest. Wouldn’t you like to emerge from a Sabbath day refreshed and ready to tackle the most important things o

    It is obviously a scheme of Satan to keep us running in circles until we’re exhausted and totally uninterested in discipleship. This scheme is nothing new to God, who created everything with a precaution in mind--or perhaps an antidote--to exhaustion: Sabbath Rest. God has never stopped desiring ...read more

    People live their lives by faith. The question is, "Upon WHAT do you rest your faith?" This sermon (based on the hymn) answers that question.

    Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Salvation is a word that finds its way into most religions. It is in the definition of that word that Christianity separates itself from all other so-called attempts to ...read more

    The key to being able to stand up under pressure, and turn our stress into rest, is not the situation we face, but how we think about that situation.

    INTRODUCTION In the first message in this series, we talked about stress. What we found out was ... (1) Stress is a fact of life. It is something not even the most spiritual Christian can avoid.

    As ministers together in the gospel of Christ, if we fall into arguing amongst ourselves, we have lost focus and we are fighting the wrong enemy. We are all on the same team. Sometimes small things need to be let go in favor of confronting larger issues.

    As we have followed the new disciples of Jesus, we have seen a number of important lessons taught and demonstrated. These early lessons are from the book of John: • Jesus changes your perspective • Jesus gains your faith as a friend • Jesus spends time with family • Jesus introduces us to ...read more
