     | 9,420 views

    A person takes on the characteristics of the family to which he or she belongs. In this text Paul, shares at least three ways that we are to imitate God.

    How To Be Like God Ephesians 5:1-14 It is for me the most memorable scene of the movie. Pongo is watching out the window as a stream of people pass by heading toward the park. Each passing pet look like their owners. When a couple have been together for a long time. They begin to look like one ...read more

    God is a consuming fire - just yet merciful. We fall away from him at our peril.

    Almost every single passage in Hebrews that we have looked at over the past few months has given us, at its heart, a very simple message. There’s often been a complicated rationale behind it, complex yet profound explanations of the old and new covenants, we’ve really got into the solid theological ...read more

     | 5,456 views

    This is the final in a series of sermons based on Paul’s letter to Timothy as a guide to how the church should behave. This message explores living in contentment with our material condition.

    (Opened message with showing of U2 “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” Music Video) Even though that song is now pushing 20 years old, it may more than any other song continue to describe our culture today. A culture littered with people who are searching, running, scaling, looking for ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,869 views

    The subject matter in these verses focuses on giving, praying and fasting. The initial reading of the passage will show that the basic teaching of Jesus will be to avoid the seeking the praise of men and to seek to please God.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,307 views

    We treat God as though He were not present. Jesus shows us how to get real with God by admitting His feelings, by telling what He wanted, and by enlisting His friends in prayer, however inadequate. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    We are not going to debate this morning whether there is or is not a God. That’s settled, I would think, in this room. The issue is not whether God is real, but whether we know how to get real with God. Let me play out a little scene with you. Picture a home in which there is a parent and a ...read more

     | 4,682 views

    This continues in my expository series through the book of Acts.

    What is it about the bad that seems much more tantalizing to us than the good? Mark Twain said that a lie could travel halfway around the world while the truth was still putting on its shoes. And the old maxim is that while good news travels, bad news travels fast. The mainstream media has been ...read more

    Victory in Jesus through hard times.

    With all the bad weather, I can’t imagine that I am the only one who has driven on ice. It can be incredibly frightening to hit a patch of ice. Why? Because you lose control of the car and slide, spin, and even crash into other people and objects. I remember clearly on Tuesday, February 19th, Amy ...read more

    based on 4 ratings

    The Beatitudes paint a counter-culture picture of the character of a Christian. Blessing is found in poverty of spirit, and in mourning. Doesn’t seem possible, but it’s a truth that Jesus taught in His Sermon on the Mount.

    Here we go. The Sermon on the Mount covers three chapters in the book of Matthew. Chapters five through seven. In chapter five Jesus teaches us about the? Law of God. Chapter six is about living in the? Presence of God. And Chapter seven will walk us through the? Judgment of God. But ...read more

    Daniel's response to his vision demonstrates how to avoid having our relationship with God slowly fade away.

    Go ahead and turn in your Bibles to Daniel 8 as we continue our journey through the Old Testament prophets. This morning, rather than read the entire passage all at once at the beginning, we’ll deal with our passage section by section. As always, the first thing that we want to do is to put ...read more

    A first-person narrative of Zechariah's experience before the angel Gabriel.

    I resent a little your pastor’s description of me in the bulletin. “Zechariah the Silent”? It’s true, for nine months I was unable to croak out a single “Shalom!” to those I passed on the street. But ever since God opened my mouth again I have not stopped ...read more

    Every Christian has at least 3 fathers...their biological/legal father, the Father and church fathers. Thsi sermon explores what it means to be loved by the Father, how to relate to our earthly fathers and what it means to be a Godly father.

Mark Twain said When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I ...read more
