    Godliness is not a matter of something you need to do, but someone you need to be. Because if you are the person you need to be you will do the things you need to do.

    One advantage I have in traveling is tasting the good cooking of others. Along with that good cooking comes some great recipes that either my wife or I have been given over the past 32 years. In fact, unless the Lord allows us to take these recipes along to heaven, we’ll never be able to try them ...read more

    The secret of contentment isn’t found in something, but in someone. This message reveals what is involved.

    THE SECRET OF CONTENTMENT Text: Phil.4: 10-13 Intro: Contentment is a very illusive condition for most people in society today. More often than not, the world tends to believe that contentment is something that comes from outside themselves—something that usually seems to be just beyond their ...read more

    As we see from our scriptures this morning, letting our flesh control us will lead us to choices that will produce death; letting the Spirit lead us will bring us life & peace.

    “Choices” Romans 8:6-8 NLT There are a lot of things we try to get around & avoid in our life; but there is one that we will never escape. Choices will make a demand on our life as long as we are breathing. As we see from our scriptures this morning, letting our flesh control us will ...read more

    God loves you not because of who you are but who He is. His love is uncaused and unceasing. Rest in the certainty of His love. Enjoy the blessings of His love. Give His love away.

    Everyone is looking for love. This quest is around us every day, in the music we hear and the movies we watch. • The desire is woven into the fibre of our being. We all need love. We need to be loved. • If everyone has this same need, then there must be a universal solution. That solution is in ...read more

     | 21,398 views

    Not everything is a demon. Today we will look at strongholds in the life of the believer. Placed there by the flesh (a different enemy of the Spirit) and they need to be torn down and replaced.

    Introduction Repeat after me: not everything is a demon. Last week we spent some time learning about whom satan is and how he attacks. We remember: satan is a created being who started as an archangel and fell due to his pride. He is limited in his power. He is powerful but not all powerful. He ...read more

    What does it mean to be a Christ-follower? When we talk about God’s call in our lives we talk about what we do for God rather than what we can be in Jesus Christ. God’s call in our lives is initially into a relationship with Him. (adapted from a sermon, T

    We can live in moderation or overindulge...which isn't about the stomache, but a matter of the heart.

    Here are two headlines found on the front cover of a Family Circle magazine: “Ten Ways to Curb Your Cravings,” followed by “Irresistible Chocolate Desserts”…definitely mixed messages! A foreign visitor described America as a land where people are as big as houses, ...read more

     | 9,985 views

    Could your nickname be ‘Eeyore’? Are you known as ‘Negative Nellie’ or, ‘Gloomy Gus’? Being a negative person and being a Christian is not a workable combination. Let’s see what we can do about that.

    DO YOU HAVE EEYORE SYNDROME? INTRODUCTION: "Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it is a good morning; which I doubt." "Why, what's the matter?" "Nothing, Pooh Bear, nothing. We can't all, and some of us don't. That's all there is to it." "Can't all what?" said Pooh. "Gaiety. ...read more

    Christmas is a time of joy, at least it should be. But sadly, many will have a Bah, Humbug attitude. A heart two sizes too small for this season. You don’t have to be green & have bad teeth to mess up Christmas, and you don’t have to live in Whoville t

    It’s true, one of my favorite Christmas shows is the Dr. Seuss classic, ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas!’ (1966). The wiry villain plans to dress up like Santa and sneak into houses to steal stockings and presents and trees… that is, until he meets little Cindy Lou Who from ...read more

    The Mass is offered in union with the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus, his free self-offering, on Calvary. It is not a repetition, but a re-presentation of the one sacrifice, and carries forward into our work on earth.

    December 6, 2010 St. Nicholas The Spirit of the Liturgy Today’s reading from Isaiah makes most sense if it was written at the time of the Babylonian exile.

    The Church needs to learn to die to self more collectively but it begins on an individual basis first. Like Jesus said, "Not My Will But Your Will Be Done!

    Why Aren’t More Of Us Dying? When you read the Title in the Bulletin this morning, did it make you think “what is the preacher going to preach about today”? I hope that he doesn’t want us to die! I want to tell you today that yes; I really do want all of you to die today. ...read more
