    In Leviticus 10 we have a lesson about the worship of God. As we look at the account of Nadab and Abihu we will see that in the worship of God there’s a proper way and a wrong way to worship God as they offered strange fire unto the Lord.

    Strange Fire Leviticus 10:1-11 Introduction: Romans 15:4 tells us that “…whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” In Leviticus 10 we have a lesson about the worship of God. As ...read more

    Will we sit at Jesus' feet or will we be too busy to learn from the Master?

    God Is Worthy Luke 10:38-42 January 19, 2013 I don’t think we ever fully appreciate time. We race around to accomplish so much, yet at the end of the day we’re exhausted and too often can’t really remember what we even accomplished, let alone did during the day. Now, why is ...read more

    Real freedom in Christ occurs when we live in God's Spirit and are useful in influencing other's lives for God. Jesus Himself showed us what freedom is. Today the word freedom has been misunderstood to mean license to sin.

    FREEDOM Gal. 5:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Sometimes we take our freedoms too far. Like evry other president, William Howard Taft had to endure his share of abuse. One night at the dinner table, his youngest son made a disrespectful remark to him. There was a sudden hush. 2. “Well,” said ...read more

    It is an error to refuse to live daily life wisely because Jesus is coming back.

    INTRODUCTION • Christians have to learn to live in necessary tension. • We are citizens of heaven, and yet we live on earth. • We are ready for and anticipating Christ’s return, yet we also work, eat, sleep, play, and have families. • This tension requires balance. • We have to live daily life ...read more

     | 5,305 views

    If there are two things which are universal to the human condition, it’s that we all hold hope dear to our heart, and we all have to face disappointments and some time or another. Though many may not realize it, hope isn’t just a universal experience, it’s a universal need.

    OPENING STORY On this Armed Forces Day weekend, I am reminded of one of the persistent dreams of my childhood. When I was a kid, there was nothing I hoped for more than to one day be a Soldier like my dad. In fact, both my parents had served, and some of my earliest memories were putting my dad’s ...read more

    The nest is comfortable. It is safe, warm, secure and only for a season. You can’t stay in the nest forever. If you stay there too long, then it is no longer an incubator, but a coffin!

    “Outed” Confusing Words Pt. 2 Introduction: Last week I challenged you that God does indeed want to make us uncomfortable. He desires for us to have a nest to which we can retreat every so often for comfort and revitalization. However, He absolutely refuses to leave us here or allow us to become ...read more
