     | 2,580 views

    For many today, life is all about appearances. We live in an age where people want to APPEAR one way but the reality is the opposite of their appearance.

    Illus: During the Oscars in Hollywood in 2004, the actors and actresses tried to give the impression that they cared about poverty.

    Life is full of highs and lows, from the mountain top to the valley; and God’s people were in a low spot. If Judah would learn to "wait on the Lord," then God would enable them to fly, run and walk across the finish line to victory!

    Wait Upon the Lord Isaiah 40:27-31 I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Wait Upon the Lord,” but I could have easily justified calling it “Fly, Run and Walk,” and you’ll see why as we continue along. But since much of the message is focused on flying, I want to open with an illustration that ...read more

    As a child we would attempt to salvage anything and everything. The house I remember from early childhood was an interesting building. When my mother wanted to clean the floor, she would pour water on the floor, scrub it with a broom, and the water would drain through the floor. The first home ...read more

     | 3,390 views

    God's love for us comes through relationship with Jesus. It's not something God could just send through the mail.

    Blessed Broken Given, Week 4: Why God Doesn’t Do Gift Cards Good morning. Please open your Bibles to Luke 24 I once heard that a “coincidence” is when God does something but chooses to remain anonymous. Well, I’m not sure I can go along with that, because I think whenever God is at work He ...read more

     | 1,874 views

    In this message we examine what Jesus said about getting revenge; about doing "unto others AS they do unto us." This is a hard message for some Christians to hear because society tells us to defend ourselves at all cost. But what does Jesus say?
