Christ And His Church Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 17, 2011

The challenge for the church is not what we do when we call our Sunday morning huddle, but what we do when we break our huddle ... When Satan lines up against us, what difference does it make that we are Christians?

Opening illustration: The job of the church is not to impact the church, but to impact the world. It’s like a huddle in a football game. 67,000 people don’t pay $25.00 a ticket to watch the Titans huddle. What if you went to a Titans game and for 2½ hours you watched 11 men stand in a circle and ...read more

Valentine's Day 2021

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Feb 13, 2021

This message is about love - not how the love the is generally expressed on Valentine's Day, but how it should be lived daily in the lives of Christians. If we love the way we are commanded to, the purchasing of a gift would never be needed to prove our love - it would be a bonus.

Valentine’s Day 2021 Scripture: John 3:16; First John 4:8 & 16; First Corinthians 13 Good morning New Light.

Three Significant Things About Jesus Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 15, 2005

From this encounter with Jairus and the sick woman, we learn three things about Jesus: (1) No one who comes seek Jesus will be ignored; (2) No situation in your life will ever be a problem to Jesus, and (2) He always respond to your faith.

Look at how Jesus treats people. Here we have a miracle inside of a miracle! Again we see two apparently hopeless situations. • Again Mark highlights to us Jesus as the Hope of the Hopeless; the Help of the Helpless. • The problem is not the ‘problem’ (sickness, difficulty…).
