TBS all the things Jesus did, all the miracles He performed were so numerous there would never be enough pen and paper ...read more

    Are you a pursuer this morning? Are you a seeker? Don't come to church, to be an observer....come to the house of God to drink of His living water and have your thirst quenched!

    Isaiah 44:3 MSG. For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, And floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring; When I think about the word thirsty, I wonder about the different degrees of the word. Sorta thirsty, Really thirsty, or ...read more

    Common - Pt. 3 - Tag! Series

    Every Day. Routine. Take it or leave it. A dime a dozen. Do we treat the rare like the regular? Do we mistake the extraordinary for the ordinary? Do we overlook the incredible for the common?

    Common Pt. 3 - Tag! Introduction We are afflicted with apathy. We are so overcome by it that we treat God as if He is "a dime a dozen", ordinary, optional, routine, or common! So I have been challenging our approach to Him. If we reverence Him appropriately then we will approach Him, prepare for ...read more

    The 153 Fish Wake-Up Call Series

     | 35 views

    As seasons shift, many of us need a reset with Jesus. John 21 shows the risen Christ meeting drifting disciples, filling empty nets, and inviting them to “come and have breakfast.” This isn’t box-checking; it’s returning to the One who seeks us, provides for us, and re-commissions us.

    Can you feel it in the air? That subtle shift as summer fades into fall? Me either. But somehow every single store in all of existence seems to feel it as they’re already putting out Christmas decorations. I think by next year we’re going to see combo-fireworks stands selling candy canes and ...read more

     | 2,971 views

    Good morning church! I want to explore the valuable lessons on having a servant's heart that we can learn from 1 Timothy 6:11-12. As we look into this passage, let us be inspired by the example of the apostle Paul and reflect on how we can cultivate the heart of a true servant in our own lives.

    Point 1: Pursue Righteousness (1 Timothy 6:11a) A servant's heart is rooted in a deep desire to pursue righteousness. It involves a deliberate choice to walk in obedience to God's commands and live a life that aligns with His will. Proverbs 21:21 - "He that followeth after ...read more

    Historian Distorts Past In Pursuit Of Anti-Christian Animus

    In the 4/19/10 edition of USA Today, religious antiquarian Phillip Jenkins, by comparing extremist Islam with assorted atrocities committed in the name of Christianity over the centuries, details from an historical perspective how any religion can be co-opted in the name of violence.

    Let us make every effort to add to our faith moral excellence.

    Have we ever said these words? “I know my life doesn’t look like a Christian’s life should look, but I do believe in God.”[1] People who say those words are what Pastor Craig Groeschel called Christian atheists or “people [who] believe in God but live as if he ...read more

    Keep in mind that to do what is right to make us distinct is doable, adding godliness to steadfastness.

    Have you ever tried swimming against the current? For those of us who tried, I believe we found it so difficult and we even felt like drowning. I think that’s the same drowning feeling when we talk about living a godly life in an ungodly world. Either we feel like giving in or giving up. Yet, ...read more

    What comes to your mind when you hear the word “fellowship”? Usually, we think of spending time with fellow believers, sharing a cup of coffee or chatting with them.

     | 11,243 views

    Is your love a extravagant, costly love. Are you Broken and spilled out in your love for Christ? That’s the only kind of love that is going to change our world.

    Broken and Spilled Out Pastor Glenn Newton 3-18-01 Mark 14:1-11Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some sly way to arrest Jesus and kill him. 2 "But not during the Feast," they said, "or ...read more
