     | 30,002 views

    Increasing our faith is a gift from God that we recognize in difficult times when we question God less and trust Him more.

    INCREASE OUR FAITH (Luke 17:3-6; Mt.15:21-28) Increase our faith asked the disciples after Jesus had just explained to them the need to forgive your brother even up to 7 times in one day. The disciples knew themselves well enough to admit that ...read more

    The victims of our world would like for us to be the Good Samaritan, to stop and help so they are not stuck on the road. Anything less is to fail in our mission.

    A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagonload of wheat on the road. The farmer who lived nearby came to investigate. “Hey, Willis,” he called out, “forget your troubles for a while and come and have dinner with us. Then I’ll help you overturn the wagon.” “That’s very nice of you,” Willis ...read more

    Jesus said that anyone who wants to be first in God’s Kingdom must be last on earth by serving everyone, including the less fortunate.

    Good morning boys and girls! :) It’s been a long time since I’ve seen most of you! How was your summer? Did you do lots of fun stuff? Did you play lots of sports? How many of you won or were on a team that won? It’s fun to win, isn’t it? Now, who actually lost or was on a ...read more

    Your Elevator Talk

    We need to take St. Peter Chrysologus as a model for our witnessing, and be able to tell our witness to Christ and the Church in less than a minute.

    July 30 2014 St Peter Chrysologus Today’s Gospel must be specially important to the Church, because we heard it on Sunday, and Monday, and again today. Because it is so brief, we might be tempted to think otherwise, that it is forgettable. But we forget it at our peril, at the peril of our ...read more

    The focus of this sermon was to help our students know the purpose of letting God become greater and for them to become less, and that he is theirs, always with them.

    Let God be Bigger: John 3:30 Sometimes in our lives we forget about what is truly important. We are always go go go, and rarely stop to thank the person/people in that means most to us in our lives. To some it might be your Father, Mother, Girlfriend, Boyfriend, Favorite Teacher, For some of us ...read more

    When the Roman soldiers saw this man sitting on this donkey, they would have never dream that He would be a threat to Roman, much less a king!!

    The Jews were looking for a king, and Jesus shows up and proclaims He is Son of God, the Messiah but He shows up with no army, no weapons, no political power, He couldn’t even get the religious leaders to back Him and the Jews would never expect their king to be nailed to a cruel cross with ...read more

    In today's less we are told that the gospel is a very special kind of wisdom that can only be discerned by those who are spiritually mature, that is, by Christians.

    Scripture “That’s not fair! Why can’t I do it?” If you are a parent, you recall hearing these words at one point or another from one or more of your children. You try to explain your decision to your child. “It’s for your own good,” you say. “No, ...read more

    Epesians 1:4 “Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love.”

    Why Are We Here? Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 4,996 views

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more
