    Jesus is "all in" for us. He was "all in" giving every last drop of blood for us. Jesus calls to be "all in" for him: holding nothing back. The resurrection gives us the hope that there is more "life" for those who are "all in" for Jesus.

    Too often Christains fall by the wayside by allowing sin to enter their lives.

    INTRO. In our text, we find the deliverance of David from his enemies by God. But we see an amazing picture here of what happened in the battle. MORE DIED IN THE WOODS THAN FIGHTING IN THE BATTLE. Historians tell us that they were retreating, running from the battle. Churches are dying all ...read more

    Why if the harvest is ripe are there so few harvesters

    “My ears are tuned differently to yours” I would like to look at one part of one verse this morning “The Harvest is plentiful but the workers are few” (Luke 10:2) Jesus gave the Church only one Commission – and that was not to put “bums on pews” It was to make disciples Jesus in Matt 28:18-20 ...read more

    I know many families that pray as if it were an old tune. Are we just praying repetitously or is our heart in it? Jesus gives us some examples on how to pray.

    Jesus prayed earnestly, purposefully, and with certainty. He knew that God answers prayer. "The Lord’s prayer" was given during Christ’s Sermon on the Mount to provide an example for how we should approach the throne of grace. Prayer is the prelude to peace, the prologue to power, the preface to ...read more
