    After the tragedy of terrorism we have suffered, our citizens will be struggling with how to cope. Three concerns will be why bad things happen, how do I keep my heart holy, and what can I do to help?

     | 10,513 views

    The Holy Spirit helps us consciously and subconsciously to turn our focus away from pain and on to God’s promises for deliverance. Many people tend to surrender to feelings of rejection, suffering and negative thoughts when they experience problems. The H

    Illustration: Dr. Henry Pope tells a story of one his students who learned how to change her perspective.

    Tne calling of Paul shows us that Christians have a new status to celebrate - as God’s chosen instruments; A new service to carry out - chosen to carry his name; And a new suffering confront – chosen to serve despite the difficulties.

    INTRODUCTION You have been saved to serve. Every Believer can live out their potential by accepting their responsibility to serve. There are three responsibilities ... 1. A NEW STATUS TO CELEBRATE (v15a) In the movie “The Freshman” Matthew Broderick plays the part of Clark Kellogg. He travels to ...read more

    The value we place on Fatherhood is alarming. No wonder 38 million children under age 18, 54% of all children in America, suffer daily from physical father absence or emotional or spiritual father absence. Where’s Dad?

    Dads Under Construction Mothers get the red carpet treatment on their day, with fabulous brunches and beautiful bouquets. For the fathers, however, retailers have cleverly priced almost everything under $9.99! Case in point: the Talking Fly Swatter. It’s a lime-green fly swatter with a little ...read more

    A woman suffering from blood flow for twelve years; The doctors of HER time could NOT cure her illness; How she spent ALL her money searching for a cure; How meeting Jesus changed her life forever.

    Mark 5:25-26: "In the crowd was a woman,who had been bleeding for twelve years.She had gone to many doctors,and they had done nothing,except cause her a lot of pain.She had paid them ALL the money she had.But instead of getting better,she got worse."

    Understanding who God is not an easy task. The 10 commandments let us know that if we do not get the first 4 commandments right, we will not get the last 6 correct and our relationship will suffer both with God and each other.

    Understanding who God is Exodus chapter 20:1-17 Introduction- This morning we begin a new series called connecting with God and others. The purpose of the series is for us to see that a right relationship with God is needed before we can have a right relationship with each other. If you noticed ...read more

    Humans have a hard time following rules. It is in our nature to rebel because we are self-centered and curious. But, sadly enough for us there are consequences. Either we can follow God's commands, or we'll suffer the consequences.

    Introduction: God was preparing to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Because of God’s love and covenant with Abraham, God shared with Abraham what was going to happen. Abraham asked God to spare the city if 50 righteous could be found, but there were not 50 righteous. Abraham tried 45, then 40, ...read more

    Shooting Our Wounded

     | 1,991 views

    We cringe when we hear about shooting the wounded; but how many times have we seen a brother or sister in Christ who was suffering spiritually, and then we shot him or her down with our words of judgment and condemnation?

    I want to open with an illustration. On May 21, 2004, Captain Rogelio Maynulet of the United States Army shot an unnamed Iraqi who was wounded in a chase.(1) What was his reasoning? He reported, “He was in a state that I didn’t think was dignified – I had to put him out of his misery.” He ...read more

    Among all the conquering heroes of Hebrews 11, God introduces us to those who suffered, struggled and died for their faith. Why would God tell us the stories of those who didn't "succeed"?

    OPEN: I love a good action movie - the kind they used to make. Movies where good overcomes evil; the boy gets the girl; righteousness triumphs and the hero rides off into the sunset. Those are “feel good” movies because everything works out the way it should. One website talked about the movies ...read more

    Many Christians suffer from Spiritual Affective Disorder, because they do not allow their lives to be exposed to the light of God. "Bright light therapy" can bring their lives back on track. How can God's light change our lives?
