    At the first of the year it seems good to think of the “first things” God wants us to do. Following are most of the NT scriptures with the word “first” in them.

    FIRST THINGS Matthew 6:31-34 and other Scriptures Intro One week a Sunday school teacher had just finished telling her class the Christmas story, how Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem and how Jesus was born there. So the teacher asked, "Who do you think the most important woman in the Bible ...read more

    Origianlly used for a morning worship service, most recently used at a funeral for a 23yr old lady who died of cancer...easily adaptable for any regualr service or funeral service.

    What comes to your mind when I say "NEW"? What do you think of? I believe I would have to say that I think of Christmas. At Christmas, we get those "new" things. You may have thought of a new car or new house…maybe a new suit of clothes or a new baby even. But when you really stop to think ...read more

    This is for people who are searching for something in their life and they are unsure of what it is.

    Did you know that you were a “searcher”? That’s also the way the Bible describes the human condition - our condition - yours and mine. We are searchers, on the move, wandering and looking. The Old Testament is filled with marvelous stories of searchers. Abraham and Sarah left their home to ...read more

    Parables are illustrations that compare something earthly with something that is spiritual.

    The PARABLE OF THE MUSTARD SEED is mentioned three times. We find it in: • Matthew 13:31-35 • Mark 4:30-32 • Luke 13:18 The Lord must have considered this parable to be important to allow it to be mentioned three different times in the Scriptures. We want to look at Matt. 13:31-35, we read, ...read more

    Through his first miracle, at the wedding in Caana, Jesus shows that he cares about the small stuff in our lives…we should care about the small stuff in the lives of others.

    Introduction: “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” We’ve all heard it. Many of us try to practice it. We encourage others to do it. There are even books about it. We are supposed to stop worrying about the small stuff and just let it go. There’s just one problem with that; most of life is made up of ...read more

    The one thing to remember is this: whatever history may throw at us; today, tomorrow, next week, or next year, we don’t have to be afraid. We are precious in the Lord’s sight and he loves us.

    The One Thing II Thessalonians 2:1-5-13-17 September 25, 2005 This is the season of meetings.

    Do you worry about the end of things? So did the Thessalonians. Paul the Apostle brings them and us some words of encouragement.

    People wonder about the end of things. A recent article in Discover Magazine gives “7 Steps to Survive The End of the Universe.” The article uses the premise that our universe is expanding rapidly and accelerating. One day there will be nothing left but coldness and darkness – no life. But wait! ...read more

    We leave the mountain tops because life happens. I get too busy with things I need to do that I don’t read my Bible each day, I find my days flying by and I am too tired to talk with God when I finally have a moment to myself.

    Introduction Last week we talked about how everyone loves the mountain tops not only the physical mountain tops of our great country but also those spiritual mountain tops we encounter with God. And I wish life were such that we could always stay on the mountain top but unfortunately that does ...read more

    Jesus last words to his disciples, reinstating Peter as the leader of the church.

    Jesus has risen. He’s appeared twice to his disciples as a group. The second time he tells Thomas that those who believe in Jesus without having seen him are blessed, and John concludes chapter 20 with the statement that the things he’s written are here so that we who read them later may believe ...read more

    Mission and missions are not something the Bible merely speaks about – mission and missions are what the Bible is about. Since creation, God has been interested in redeeming all peoples to Himself.

    Today marks the end of a week set aside to pray for missions and our friends of our church who are spread around the globe for the cause of introducing people to the love of Christ. Let’s spend a few minutes of concentrated prayer for our friends. Father in Heaven, I pray You make Yourself so ...read more

    Final message on the church's vision statement. Christ's lordship over all things means that there is nothing worthy that we can leave out of our work, but it will succeed if we are focused on Him and not on our own success.

    At the very center of the Christian faith there is Christ. That sounds self-evident: it seems obvious. But we keep forgetting it. We keep on trying to live without a center. Think about a wheel which has no hub; if you try to roll that wheel, its spokes will collapse. And no church will hold its ...read more

    It’s interesting to try to narrow things down to one. When you do that you are identifying the most significant thing. We see this principle applied in scripture. Let’s look at some of these incidents and see what we can learn from them.

    ONE THING If you could have only one thing in the world what would it be? If you could only go one place where would you go? What about if there was only one thing standing in the way of you accomplishing something. It’s interesting to try to narrow things down to one. When you do that you ...read more
