    Reflections

    We can have a tendency to focus a lot on our image. Whether it's how we look, how we come across or how we're perceived. And to some degree we should it seriously but we can focus too much on our physical image and not enough on our spiritual image.

    REFLECTIONS We can have a tendency to focus a lot on our image. Whether it's how we look, how we come across or how we're perceived by others, our image is something we take seriously. And in part, that's a good thing. We should be concerned with how we come across and that people ...read more

    Being Renewed (Graduation Sunday) Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Jun 5, 2021
     | 2,294 views

    We think home is a place of renewal. We think we can go home and rest. And we can, but only if our focus is right. Home won’t renew us, won’t build us up, unless the focus of our home is on the One who raises us into a new kingdom, a new reality.

    Main: If you’re looking for snapshots of well-adjusted and happy parent-child relationships from the ancient world, the Bible probably shouldn’t be on your short list of sources. Consider even Jesus’ family, for example. The New Testament preserves evidence suggesting that Jesus’ relationship with ...read more

    When we focus only upon temporal physical and superficial longings – represented by physical bread – we neglect our eternal deep spiritual needs, represented by spiritual bread, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

    I Am the Bread of Life (John 6:35-51) 1. Most writers know not to use mixed metaphors. Here are some examples: 1. She was a couch potato in the gravy boat of life, flopping dejectedly on the sofa. 2. All at once he was alone in this noisy hive with no place to roost. 3. The little boat gently ...read more

    Introduction: How old was the little Lord Jesus when his family returned from Egypt? You remember the story; the wisemen came and brought their gifts to the little child.
