    Passage: 2 Samuel 12:1-14 Intro: When we think of the word “grace”, the vast majority of believers focus on the forgiveness of our sins. Il) “Wonderful grace of Jesus, greater than all my sins.” “Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt.” Etc. 1. great ...read more

    When I was growing up we lived on a two-acre plot of land. We mowed about an acre of it with a push mower and the back acre we grew for hay harvesting. Grass grew all over our property except near our clothesline. The combination of hanging clothes and the weather would erode the ground there. It ...read more

    Some people think it,s better to just sleep through life. The whole world changes when we do, so GOD says, "WAKE UP!"

    “Walking Up the Sleepyheads” Text: Romans, Chapter 13 I love to sleep! What I mean is I LOVE to sleep!

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,618 views

    If we take the time to realistically examine our culture, especially our western culture, we will readily see that death is not something we think about very much.

    For Christians, the season of Lent is the time of our church year like no other because our focus is drawn on a very unpopular topic, death. We are taken on a journey covering the last weeks of Jesus’ ministry, which ends with his horrible torture and death by crucifixion. But because we ...read more

    A Palm Sunday message that relates the fact as a Christian we would rather think of the cute and safe vision of a babe in the manger rather then the gruesome and brutal death that Jesus suffered.

     | 15,260 views

    A tribute to the Godly Mother’s which God places in our lives. The Love of a mother is the closest thing that I can think of to a worldly view of "Agape" love of God.

    Praise God for Mother’s I tell you when I call home I so look forward to the voice of my mother. I love my dad, but I do love to talk and spend time with my mother. Why is this so? I know that with certainty the love of a mother for a child far surpasses what is common in our world and ...read more

     | 10,510 views

    Many Christians today are guilty of thinking that Jesus wants us to be comfortable. Our comfort, at least in this life, is not very high on his list of what he wants for us.

    It has been about 3 years that Jesus has been working with the disciples. They have heard some teaching that they understood, and some that they didn’t. They have seen Jesus do some incredible things. They believe with all of their being that he is the Messiah. But what they believe of the ...read more
