After he tells us to add virtue and knowledge, he ...read more

    A man was watching a wood carver carve a six foot bear out of a large chunk of wood. The man was fascinated as he watched him and he finally asked him, “HOW DO YOU DO THAT?”

    The wood carver said, “It really isn’t as hard as it looks. What I do is get a huge piece of wood, and I carve out everything that does not look like a bear!” This is what God is trying to do with our lives. He wants to cut everything that does not look like Christ out of our lives. Peter shows ...read more

    One of the best ways you can determine that a person is a SPIRITUAL PERSON is by the way they spend their TIME and MONEY.

    We are fooling ourselves when we think we are SPIRITUAL yet our TIME and MONEY reveals we are like the carnal people of this world who only care about cars, boats, campers, houses and clothes. The way we spend our time tells a great deal about us. Because time is important to us, most of us ...read more

    The call to discipleship is a call to serve as a good neighbor. This call is more than a mere social event where pleasantries are commonly shared. In the call to discipleship, we are challenged to ascend to godliness and become a spiritual friend to people in our sphere of influence.

    This Morning, we take a special look at Jesus Healing the Paralytic , and how the story reveals to us what is MOST IMPORTANT, the Forgiveness of Sins.

    We have two types of paralytics in our lesson this morning, physical and Spiritual.

The healing we read occurs in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and what is really ...read more

    On Thanksgiving day which do you prefer? Milk or a Thanksgiving feast? The writer of Hebrews has a candid conversation with those who were spiritually missing out on the best instead of Spiritual meat- they were on Spiritual milk. How do we do the opposite?

    When we think of Thanksgiving we often think of food. While we all know that Turkey is the top food for the Thanksgiving meal in America; the favorite side dishes vary. Yet, this week I did a little study to see which side dishes are America’s favorite. Are you ready for this? 1. Stuffing; of ...read more

    Jethro gave Moses such helpful advice that not only did Moses apply this, he wrote it in Scripture. He must have been aware that this was a leadership principle that would help spiritual leaders in every generation that follows him. There would come different circumstances but timeless principles.

    I had just finished the book summary, The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber. Right away I could see the application of this book. Not for me, I saw that my son-in-law was working long hours and here in this book were principles for the entrepreneur that could help him rise up new employees that he ...read more
