Soft Heart - Hard Heart Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 14, 2012

As humans we naturally try to do what is in our own best self interest. This doesn't always coincide with the character of God. Such is the case with divorce. Jesus shocks His men and the Pharisees with a refreshing look at relationships. As we look at th

Do You Measure Up?

Contributed by Sarah Keith on Oct 10, 2009

Only Jesus was able to ’measure up’ to God’s standard of perfection!

Prop: Measuring tape. Before the talk, measure the height of a few of the kids. Kids, have you ever heard the saying, He just doesn’t ’measure up’? Do you have any idea what that means? (Listen for answers.) It sounds like this has something to do with how tall someone is, but it has nothing to ...read more

Raising Kids To Be Healthy Adults Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jun 16, 2010

There are a few specific scripture references to parenting, but I think we need to look at the entire scope of scripture to really get a complete picture of how we are to parent. After all, God is the ultimate parent as our father, so all of Scripture giv

Before I became a counsellor, while I was still going to school, I worked as a family support worker. Essentially I would pick up kids from troubled homes who social workers were involved with but hadn’t taken the children away yet, and I would spend a couple hours with them and take them ...read more

All Lives Matter

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 3, 2021

We can learn how to treat one another by the example of how Jesus dealt with children. Jesus dealt with children in an anticultural manner.

To fully interpret and understand Jesus' words, one must understand the culture in which he lived. Children were treated differently than they are today. That does not mean that parents did not love their children as much as parents do today. Parents loved their children because they were ...read more

• You tell a child to do something and invariably they will say, “why” ? • You tell a child not to do something and invariably they will say “why”? One of the reasons it annoys us as parents when our children do this, is because sometimes we know they should do something, but we do not always ...read more

Three Babies And A Man Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

The whole idea of discipleship is that every Christian is to be so trained that they can reproduce and train another. Reproduction is the bottom line. It is the only way the Great Commission can be fulfilled.

Maybe some of you saw the Donahue Program where he wore a special outfit designed to help men feel what it is like to be pregnant. It was an awful experience for him as he felt the pressure and the pain involved in bearing a child. The whole idea is that men just do not understand the cost of new ...read more
