Peace: Ready, Set, Go Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 27, 2000

To gain peace in stressful times, we need, like the shepherds of Bethlehem, to be ready and open to God’s doing new things; to set out promptly to respond to God’s action; and to go back into our normal course of life, but with a difference.

These are stressful days. There is too much going on. Too much. Too much work, too much to think about, too many demands, too much. Why, we have to shop and bake and decorate and plan parties and send cards and on and on. Too much. Stressful. Too much traveling. I heard an astonishing ...read more

Searching For One Lost Sheep

Contributed by James May on May 15, 2005

I’m so glad that the Great Shepherd watches over his sheep. We can rest assured that Jesus is doing everything possible to bring our lost loved ones into the fold. He wants none of his sheep to be lost.

Searching for One Lost Sheep By Pastor Jim May Luke 15:1-7, "Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

Message In 1peter – Number 8 – Woe To You Lazy Ministers And Pastors Who Feed Yourselves And Not The Ones In Your Charge - 1peter 5:1-3 - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 19, 2023

A shepherd must NOT be driven by the world’s agenda or ideology or greed. Righteous paths today are more difficult with all the liberal theology (satanic denial), WOKE, and Marxism pervading society and the church. The pastor must be skilled to lead the sheep in correct ways.

Lord Build Me In Action Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

We live by faith in God. But what use is our faith if we don’t actively live it out? Just like the boy who is afraid, in the burning building, he can’t see his father below with his arms wide open, but he believes that he is there. He has faith that his dad is there even though he cant see.

"One night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. The father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, "Jump! I'll catch you." He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, ...read more
