    Love Beyond Limits Series

     | 4,479 views

    Just as it was in Jesus’ day, many have a perception of love, but it is not love as God commands. Much of what we see today described as love does not fit the biblical model for love.

    Love beyond Limits Matthew 5: 43-48 As we close out the fifth chapter of Matthew, we are getting close to the midway point of the great sermon Jesus preached. For the past several weeks we have considered various contrasts Jesus made regarding time honored traditions and the reality of what God ...read more

Paul does not hesitate to reveal his observation “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes ...read more

    When is religious authority right and wrong? How should we behave in an imperfect church? Should we quit church and return to the devil or stay and be a force for good?

    Prelude When is religious authority right and wrong? How should we behave in an imperfect church? Should we quit church and return to the devil or stay and be a force for good?

    Ask In Faith—could This Be A Test?

     | 2,390 views

    James was a half brother to Jesus. However, having Jesus as his half brother wasn’t nearly as important as having Jesus as his Savior. In others words, to James, the blood on the cross that saved him was far more important than the family blood in his veins.

    Ask In Faith—Could This Be A Test? James 1:1-8NKJV Developing maturity in the Christian life is the theme of the book of James. As we examine the book of James we can anticipate maturity also spiritual growth. James 1:1NKJV James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the ...read more

     | 7,307 views

    The Shadow Christian, as we will call him, was a cranky guy. He did not smile easily, and when he did, the smile often had a cruel edge to it, coming at someone’s expense.

    Refining Christian Maturity Pastor Allan Kircher “Snap the chains” “They cried to the Lord in their troubles, and he rescued them! He led them from the darkness and shadow of death and snapped their chains” (Psalm 107:13-14, TLB). Are you crying out to the Lord this ...read more

    Spiritually mature Christians have the responsibility to aid Christians overtaken by sin.

    There is no doubt that the greatest joy of being a Christian is seeing those who had wonder far from God come back home. What a joy it is to see those who were once overtaken by sin break free of the chains of Satan by the power supplied to them by Jesus Christ. If the heavens could be peeled back ...read more

    Ready to grow up, to become who God desires?

    Do carnivals still have fun house mirrors? When you gaze into one it makes you appear to be 3' wide and 3' tall. Another stretches you out, so that you look like a pro basketball player despite your real height of 5'2". The fun is found in the distortion. But, in life many people live with a ...read more

    Some Christians put on “sneakers,” “running shoes,” “flip-flops,” and “baby-shoes” – when what we ought to be putting on is combat boots! Full of anecdotes, illustrations, and good humor.
