     | 10,558 views

    The attitude of gratitude is a conscious choice the Believer makes to the greatest event our world has known - the death and resurrection of Christ. That attitude enables us to live as overcomers irrespective of our circumstances.

    LET THE ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE ELEVATE YOUR ALTITUDE Philippians 4:4-13 1. The cartoon by Mike Baldwin on the cover of your bulletin this morning (cartoon shows a long line of people at the "Complaints" window and none at the "Gratitude" window)is an apt description of and sad commentary on the ...read more

    Jesus identifies with us in Baptism

    As we come to think about the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry, we mustn’t make the mistake of forgetting what comes before it. Matthew has just finished describing John’s ministry of preparation for the coming of the Messiah. His message has been one of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. ...read more

    Peacemakers are blessed, said Jesus. But they are not to be confused with 2 other kinds of people ... Peace-Breakers and Peace-Fakers.

    “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” We live in a world that is filled with (characterized by) fighting and rivalry. Every level of society is affected. In the midst of such continual strife, God calls His people to be ‘peacemakers’. “Blessed are the ...read more

    I almost died this week... The words, “I love you.” became meaningful to me. Love came alive in Janet, when she didn’t want to leave me even though they kicked her out. Almost every phone call - the words I love you were spoken from the heart. Tonight - Communion - I will tell about the walk ...read more

    Since Christ made unity possible, let us pursue unity.

    God Himself declared that unity is not only possible but most of all powerful. Looking down at the Tower of Babel, He said: “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.”[1] Of course, God scattered those who ...read more

    Peter blew it, that’s for certain. He denied the Lord three times. But in Chapter 21 we see the gentle way Jesus restores Peter to fellowship and purpose. He does the same for us.

    Do you ever fail Jesus? John the Apostle said “1 John 1:8-9 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” One of the most common experiences we as Christians share is the reality that we will fall. No matter how hard we try we will do things that are against he ...read more
