    Jesus was asleep. The boat was going down. But didn’t Jesus know there’d be a storm? Then why would He ask His disciples to sail into the teeth of this terrible storm in the middle of the night?

    OPEN: A mother and her young daughter were at home alone. The father was gone on a trip for his company and night was coming on. Outside, it became increasingly dark and disturbing. The moon was out, but the wind howled menacingly in trees and the branches of some of those trees brushed ominously ...read more

    Real Worship Series

     | 8,948 views

    Don’t waste your life in secret, cheap acts designed to get the praise of people. Instead, give it all away in exposed, expensive, extravagant acts of devotion to our Lord, because that is what real worship is all about.

    Did you ever have trouble staying awake at church? Mr. Bean did. Take a look (show Mr. Bean Falling Asleep at Church; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B1V1PFsyho).

    Third in a series on Matthew 24 & 25, this message focuses on the mandate to be faithful with what God has entrusted to us since Jesus is coming back and we don’t know when.

    Because Jesus Is Returning . . . "Be Faithful- Matthew 25:14-30" I like reading bumper stickers. Sometimes you get an unusual combination of bumper stickers on one car that give an unintended message. One such combination was funny. One read: JESUS IS COMING! and the one next to it said: ...read more

    James was a no nonsense leader of the early church. His letter was written to specific issues in the church, those issues exist today.

    Some things are so surprising they simply shock us. The early church has many such surprises and shocks, one of the biggest of which concerned the generosity of two of her members.
