    what happen in the middle of the journey, the start is full excitement and the end is full of joy because you achieved the end. The middle is the hardest part of the journey, it is where the frustration happens and discouragement sets in.

    The middle INTRODUCTION A few months ago we were setting goals and visions for the year, we were so excited and full of anticipation for what is going to happen, for some of us it is going well and we are on track just pushing to get to the next level, for others it is not going well at all and we ...read more

    What Is Faith

    Contributed by Christopher Howitz on Dec 13, 2008
     | 3,006 views

    A call to copy the faith of our team-mates in the cross-country relay race of life... looking to God and trusting Him through the mud and the pain... because we have another city and different treasure... a prize that is worth the struggle.

    Intro… The title I’ve got for you today is, “What is faith?” Hopefully by the end of what I’ve got to say, we’ll not only know what faith is, but we will be able to live it. And to help us along the road we’re going to have assistance from two old pros who we’re going to meet shortly. Hebrews… The ...read more

    Since we all have Adam as our father and Eve, the mother of all the living, as our mother, we are FAMILY!... with the same parents and that makes us family.

    Now that was perhaps the most unusual sermon opening you have seen. Thank you for putting up with my poor imitation of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood opening. So, why did I do it? The race issue is complex and and touches every sphere of society, history, culture, traditions, politics, education, ...read more

     | 13,082 views

    When we come into relationship with Jesus Christ we are brought into an unstoppable momentum that brings us into the kingdom of God and propels us forward to finish the race we started.

    I am so excited to begin a new sermon series this morning called UNSHAKEABLE. Over the next few weeks we will be looking at Hebrews chapter 12. In this study we will look at the big picture of God’s wonderful kingdom. • Hebrews 12 teaches us to grab hold of an unstoppable momentum that ...read more

    Again, we will look at THE CHURCH dealing with the LOST.

    Illus: Thinking of the church reminds me of the painter who was hired to paint the outside of the local church. First he waited until it was a bright sunny day to start the job. Then he went out and bought all the paint that he thought he would need, and started to get to work. All was going well ...read more

    You will not be remembered for the things you start but rather, for the things you finish. And the best part is, in the Christian race, you are not rewarded because you finished first – you are rewarded because you finished strong.

    When you think of long-distance races, you most probably think Kenyan or Ethiopian athletes. But long before these athletes began shining, a young man from Tanzania embedded his name in the annals of history. The year was 1968 and John Stephen Akhwari was in Mexico in a bid to clinch Tanzania’s ...read more

    This is a "bonus lesson" to the Leaving a Legacy series. We can't really leave a legacy if we stop the journey. The lesson encourages finishing the race and focusing on what is important in the long run.

     | 1,058 views

    God’s grace and His justice are like two sides of the same coin. Both go hand in hand and if we underplay one or overplay the other, we will err and miss out on God’s eternal reward. The life of Lot and his family will help us understand this better.

    We read in Genesis 19:16, When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for the LORD was merciful. (NLT) Most of us are familiar with the incident of the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. ...read more

    A Warning from God to anyone who is "Playing Church."

    Consider the text God’s warning to anyone who’s ‘playing Church!’ I ought to just finish right there with that one statement, for the text says it all.

    When You Run God's Red Light… Series

    Contributed by Rick Duncan on Jun 29, 2005

     | 9,084 views

    In the pages of the Old Testament in the book of Joshua we find a story – a rather frightening story – about how worldliness and compromise really hurt the people of God and brought on God’s judgement.

    Which of God’s red lights are you most likely to run? Certainly, His top ten red lights are found in the Old Testament book of Exodus, chapter 20 – the Ten Commandments. “You shall have no other gods before Me.” When you consider not just the surface understanding of the command but the richer ...read more

    Sometimes change is difficult!

    When you run to Jesus, everything changes! Ephesians 2:1-10 Intro: A few weeks ago (1st Sunday in June) I tried to preach a message entitled “If only I could run away.” In that message I tried to talk about the fact that ‘when you run’ everything changes.

    We can learn some great life lessons from Jonah, this is the first of 4 messages I first preached in 1999. I do not remember who my sources for help were so I cannot give proper credit.

    INTRODUCTION  Over the next four weeks I would like us to take some time to look at the Old Testament book of Jonah.  The Book of Jonah is one of the most ridiculed book by the liberal ‘scholars”.  The story of a fish swallowing a man sounds like a whopper of a fish ...read more
