What Would You Do Series

Contributed by J.d. Tutell on Feb 28, 2011

Questions and their answers can tell you a lot about a person. In fact one of the keys to being successful in life is to learn to ask the right questions. What we see in this passage is someone who was so far down, so removed from any real hope that he probably didn’t even really know what ...read more

Contributed by Aaron Holbrough on Jul 13, 2011

Jesus meets a sick man, and Jesus question to him seems odd - "do you want to get better?" But sometimes what we want and what we need are two different things.

What Do You Really Want God To Do? Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Apr 30, 2010

Often we pray for God to act, but what do we really want God to do? Do we pretend to want change when really we want to stay as we are? A challenging message at one of our special healing services.

A man was driving along a road one day when he saw a three-legged chicken. He was amazed enough to drive along side it for a while, and as he was driving, he noticed the chicken was running at 20 mph. “WOW Pretty fast chicken,” he thought, “I wonder just how fast it can run.” So he sped up, and ...read more

Poolside Views Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Apr 27, 2009

Does God still perform miracles? Of course He does. But what why does He? Is it to cause people to believe in Him? The sad fact is that most people who witness the miracles of God still refuse to believe—just like the people in today’s passage.

http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ This morning, we come to a new section in the Gospel of John. We have noticed before that John didn’t set out to record every single miracle of Jesus. As a matter of fact, in the last verse of the book, he wrote, “And there are also many other things which ...read more

The Bonds Of Legalism Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on May 4, 2009
