    Keeping Order Among Our Passions Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 2, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,645 views

    Christ is our shepherd, because we are prone as sheep to wander about in pursuit of pleasure, and be devoured by our passions.

    Tuesday of 4th Week of Easter May 5, 2009 “If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” So Jesus talks about sheep. As the Jews of His day–and ours, for that matter–saw it, Jesus never talked plainly. But that wasn’t Jesus’ problem with the Jews, or us, for that matter. Our problem is that Jesus ...read more

    Are you that rare person who married your first love and you are still just as much in love today as you were at first sight?

     | 5,265 views

    Just as four friends of a paralytic cut through a roof of clay, manure, and twigs to get closer to Jesus, we need to be honest and cut the crap in our lives that is separating us from Christ. It is the things that separate us from God that Jesus died to

    6 Mark – Cut the Crap Mark 2:1-12 It has taken the first five weeks to get through the first chapter of Mark. In the first chapter we have seen Mark establish:  Who Jesus is – The Holy one of God  That Jesus didn’t just come for Religious types, but all ...read more

We’re looking at some Biblical principles that, if we would follow, would really create no wake zone relationships. Relationships, we’ve said, of rest and refreshment ...read more

     | 8,978 views

    August 1989: If we want to be lifted up out of our unhappiness through worship, we must bring our whole selves to the worship experience and must pray passionately even our negative wishes.

When we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.” No doubt the title of the message appears strange to some people.
