     | 6,765 views

    Often quoted and very familiar to even people who don’t follow Jesus’ "Come to me" passage. But do we really understand what Jesus means by it? This passage is full of cultural specific references that could easily be lost if we don’t understand the cultu

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,494 views

    Truths are hard because they are hard to grasp, hard to accept, or hard to practice, or live out. They’re hard to practice because the hard truths of scripture require something of us.

    The Hard Truth TCF Sermon September 4, 2005 I could very easily title this morning’s sermon, Lessons from LouAnn. That’s because several weeks ago, the inspiration for this morning’s message came from Lou Ann Goodbary. Do you all know LouAnn? LouAnn has been here at TCF longer than most of us, ...read more

    We have been given authority as believers over the kingdom of darkness. This message exposes the enemy, and helps us to understand our authority.

    A different understanding of "Be ye perfect" (Matt. 5:48) that talks about 1. The perfection OF Christ, the perfection IN Christ and the perfection LIKE Christ.

    Myths Of Salvation

     | 6,824 views

    There are many myths Christians believe about how to be saved. As we look into the Scripture we see these myths revealed as false and the only way to salvation through the cross of Christ.

    What is a myth? A story about someone or something that some claim to be true but is usually a fable. In Minnesota we have the stories of Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox. There is the belief in Poland that if you sit on a cold stone surface you will get sick and in America, many believe that if ...read more
