    Loving God & Loving People

    Contributed by Matt Skiles on Jul 24, 2023
     | 2,144 views

    It is important to really focus on the question that Jesus was asked. "Which is the great commandment in the law?" Jesus said, “Love God. Love your neighbor.” He then states that all the law hangs on these two commandments.

    Matthew 22:34-40-“But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God ...read more

    The Suffering Church (The Church Of Smyrna 2 Of 7)

     | 396 views

    You will notice that of the seven churches that John addressed, he gave the least amount of space to the church of Smyrna.

    All he had to say about the church of Smyrna he was able to cover in just four verses. However, we must not think less of this church, or feel they were insignificant just because there are less verses given to them. Why? Because there were only two of the seven churches ...read more

    For worship to be fully biblical and experientially meaningful, we must recapture the awe of coming to true Zion. Having the fulness of new covenant revelation, in the Final Word (Heb 1:2), we do not look to a distinct place for worship (John 4:21-23), ra

    Jesus is either a Rock of Refuge or a Stumbling Stone. Sermon uses three "stumbling stones" -- Sinner, Savior and Simple.

    As we dig into this idea of discipleship, I would like to bring up four attitudes about discipleship that are important that we find in the Scriptures. We are going to look at one passage from each of the Gospels.

    I like Moses response to people who grumble. "Your grumblings are not against us but against the Lord." That’s calling it like it is! Grumble for be grateful but grumbling is not one of the fruit of the Holy Spirit!

    Exodus 16 - New and Fresh Every Morning! I don’t think I have ever been tested in my trust concerning food. I have always had enough. I have never been without.

     | 6,154 views

    This morning, I invite you to consider with me, “How do people actually have a life-changing encounter?” Is it near death experience that causes us to change? What would cause you to change?

    We continue our series, My Crazy Family, the story of Jacob. Jacob is a complex character – we would say in our day, “He’s a piece of work.” Jacob’s life is a Russian nesting doll with one conflict inside conflict inside yet another, conflict. What begins as a conflict with his twin brother Esau, ...read more

     | 3,141 views

    This message looks at how people run from God when He is only trying to rescue them. What are some of the ways in which the Lord pursues the lost? And what happens when He actually catches the person who’s running?

    This morning we are going to look at some words of revelation from the Lord spoken by the prophet Elihu to Job. In Elihu’s words of wisdom, we find a message that can be applied to those who are lost without salvation in Jesus Christ; and I wish to begin this sermon with an illustration: One ...read more

    Sadly, Christians are some of the most gullible, naïve folks around. Almost every week you read another story about how some trusting Christian was bamboozled by a scam where he gave away his life’s savings in some “sure-fire investment.”

    So, if God is so good and so strong, why does He allow suffering? A look at answers for the Balconeers (those approaching it intellectually - "why?") and the Travellers (those in the midst of it asking "what now?")

    Hope in suffering comes when we are able to focus, not on the troubles around us, but on God¡¦s hidden treasure within and before us.

    I¡¦ve noticed in counseling with people over the years that people lose their bearings when they get bad news. Perhaps you saw the story this week about a man in Hollywood, California. Three Marines came to his home to break the news to him that his son had died in the service of his country. ...read more
