    Family Life, Family Love

    based on 4 ratings
     | 35,980 views

    We are tempted every day to do what is abnormal for a Christian. Instead of loving one another, we are tempted to snap at those around us. Instead of growing, we sometimes want to withdraw. Instead of living to please the Lord, we often get overly busy, d

    Family Life, Family Love 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 Intro: During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized. "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup ...read more

    Running Into Jesus

    Like the two on the Emmaus Road, we sometimes grow disappointed with God. But, if we seek his will through his word, he speaks to us and clarifies his plans. Then, our disappointment turns to joy as we begin to see things from God's perspective.

    Luke 24:13-35 Running into Jesus The Bible records ten different resurrection appearances of Jesus. Today we look at one of the most captivating, a story only found in the gospel of Luke. The setting is a round trip hike between Jerusalem and Emmaus. A couple of Jewish believers are heading home ...read more

    God's Designed Dilemmas

    Just as earthly fathers sometimes allow their children to face dilemmas so they can grow and mature, Jesus allowed His disciples to face the life-and-death dilemma of a huge storm at sea, so that He could show His power and inspire them to trust Him.

    I think it’s safe to say that the drought in Minnesota is over, don’t you? The pictures and video of the flooding in Duluth are stunning. The good news is that our lakes and rivers are filling up, and most of our farmers are happy with the rain. The bad news is that Donna and I have ...read more

    My knowledge is limited in the area of trees, but I did I little bit of reading into the root system of trees. Why the roots? Because I wanted to know how is it that trees grow, how they are fed, and what allows a tree to remain healthy in order to compare it to the Christian life.

    Becoming A Church Member

     | 1,545 views

    Today, we will explore what it truly means to commit to church membership, why it matters, and how it strengthens both our faith and the church itself. Through this journey, we’ll see how membership allows us to grow, serve, and fulfill our calling as followers of Christ.

    “When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them ...read more

    The Cat's In The Cradle - Father's Day 2020

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,216 views

    Many of us, as Christians, grow up with a "blind spot" just like the Dad in "The Cat's In The Cradle" song. Are we failing to build spiritual relationships just as the Dad in the song failed to build a real Father-Son relationship?

    The Cat’s In The Cradle Today we will be reading from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Today is Father’s Day. To me it is a confusing day but at the same time it makes sense. It makes sense because a Biblical father is what God planed for the human family. A father who provides for the needs of the ...read more

    In fact, growing numbers of people are saying that worry and stress related to coronavirus have negatively impacted their mental health. Regardless of where you think you are going or how you are feeling, James has a word for all those who find themselves in the midst of great trials.

    In this short book of James, 108 verses, James the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Pastor of the first church at Jerusalem address the subject of Christianity from a very practical view. He does not try to debate philosophy and teach doctrinal theology. He simply states in chapter one ...read more

    What Is True Worship Of God?

    Contributed by William Tan Yh on Oct 24, 2020
     | 2,537 views

    Our hearts are filled with gratitude for what Christ has done on the cross for us. Hence, we response in offering our worship to Him. What is the worship which is pleasing and acceptable to the Lord? Let us learn and grow in the area of true worship to our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Welcome to today’s devotion. Today I will like all of us to meditate on Rom 12:1. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship” (Rom 12:1). During the Old Testament’s ...read more

     | 5,228 views

    Any Christian serious about growing in faith should want to know the Mind of Christ. Often we think that we cannot know the mind of Christ, but the reality is that we can; not through any special quest or journey to some secret temple, but by looking into the not so secret Bible!

    Mind of Christ Unity Philippians 2:2-5 Intro: Any Christian serious about growing in faith should want to know the Mind of Christ. Often we think that we cannot know the mind of Christ, but the reality is that we can; not through any special quest or journey to some secret temple, but by looking ...read more

    Is Anything Too Difficult For God? Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 25, 2022
     | 4,219 views

    Abraham and Sarah must trust God. Maybe you have been praying for years for someone or something. Remember: He is El Shaddai. He is God Almighty. Nothing is too difficult for God. When our situation grows more impossible God shows himself almighty.

    There is a philosophical question that some ask about God. When claim nothing is too difficult for God they ask, can God make a rock so big he cannot lift it? No. The philosopher thinks he has somehow outsmarted God. But also, God is so holy he cannot lie. God cannot act outside his own nature ...read more

    The Family Business

     | 7,383 views

    We don’t know very much about Jesus’ process of maturation. The Gospels are rather silent about his growing up years, with Matthew being the only other canonical gospel that even offers a birth narrative, and he is silent on the years between birth and baptism.

    TITLE: THE FAMILY BUSINESS SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 2:49 It was just two months ago we gathered here in the sanctuary as we celebrated the birth of our Lord and Savior. We had special programs like Candlelight Service, attended Christmas Sing Along over at Macedonia Baptist Church, and of course ...read more

     | 5,907 views

    Since we have been made “partakers of His nature” (2 Pet. 1:4) we should learn to imitate (mimic, copy) God. Now that we are children we should resemble our father. That can only happen as we grow more in grace.

    Learning How To Walk Ephesians 5:1-22 Introduction: For you parents, do you remember the thrill of watching your child take that first step? Don’t you think God takes great delight in watching us learn to walk? Note in verse 1 how Paul describes us “dearly loved children”. Paul teaches us that ...read more
