    In this message we will look at Luke 15 and we will see the ways we make and break our dads (also how we make and break our heavenly Father).

    Elijah mistakenly thought he was alone in his service to God.

    Have you noticed that more and more people seem to be joining the “Ain't it Awful Club”? In fact, there are new chapters forming every day. Some gather in the neighborhood barber shop or beauty salon. Others meet at the community coffee house, the corner pub, or next to the water ...read more

    Sozo Healing

     | 14,030 views

    This sermon looks at the woman with the Issue of Blood. Jesus was determined to heal her body, mind and soul (Sozo). She almost settled for a mere physical (iaomai) healing. She almost settled for a lesser blessing. Are we tempted to do the same?

    Scripture: Mark 5:21-34 Theme: Wholeness/Complete Healing Title: SOZO Healing This sermon looks at the woman with the Issue of Blood. Jesus was determined to heal her body, mind and soul (Sozo). She almost settled for only a physical (iaomai) healing. She almost settled for a lesser ...read more

    based on 235 ratings
     | 42,961 views

    This sermon deals with the age old saying that Jesus is a "burden bearer." And yet so many people do not really know and understand what it means for Jesus to be their burden bearer. This is the transcript of the sermon.

    28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

    Lot's Wife

    Contributed by Fran Van Hoven on Jun 25, 2007
    based on 19 ratings
     | 44,585 views

    : "Remember Lot’s Wife!" Why would Jesus warn His disciples (and us today) to remember Lot’s wife? After all, we don’t even know her name. There must be a powerful lesson for us hidden somewhere in Genesis 19. Let’s take a look!

    Luke 9: 62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."Gen 19: 1 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face ...read more

    There is a saying that goes: once saved always saved. But is there any truth to that?

    You cannot lose your salvation, but can you walk away from it? Beloved, when it come to the words: “DO NOT” many of us have a problem with those words. Do not touch do not go do not pass do not take do not give do not gossip. Many have no respect or fear and I mean are not afraid of ...read more

     | 2,930 views

    There are lots and lots of ways that we can put Jesus in a tomb and roll a stone over it, but there is no tomb strong enough, my friend, no stone too heavy that Jesus can’t smash it to pieces.

    [Remember ... the members have been placing stones at the foot of the cross for the past seven weeks of Lent and the pile of stones around the bases has gotten pretty impressive ... powerful visual. But when they come in on Easter morning, the stones are all gone.] [Read Luke 15:11-24.] You’ve ...read more

    The Freedom Of Forgiveness

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Sep 29, 2015
     | 8,195 views

    If you and I want to have relationships that last for the long haul, then we must be willing to extend forgiveness to others. In every relationship you have, you will constantly be called on to forgive and to ask for forgiveness. God will help us do this!

    The Freedom of Forgiveness Text: Matthew 18:21-35 Intro: There was a man who really loved dogs. He devoted his life to them. He read about them, studied them, and even gave talks about them to other dog lovers. One day he decided to pour a new sidewalk in front of his house. His neighbor watched ...read more

    Start Acting Like A Child!

     | 4,172 views

    Being accused of acting like a child is a major insult but not from Jesus. Jesus wants more people that act like children.

    -In our culture, saying that someone is acting like a child is not really a compliment -We are always telling our children to grow up, to act their age -In the immortal words of that great philosopher, the artist formerly known as Prince, “Act your age not your shoe size.” {PAUSE} -There’s a new ...read more
