    In this sermon we notice a restatement of our freedom in Christ. Then, we shall notice some limitations on our freedom. Finally, we shall observe some guidelines for our balance.

    Scripture The pastor had heard the story so many times that listening to it again evoked a strange mixture of anger and despair.

    Are we disobedient to God or do we follow him without question?

    As you can tell, our scripture readings today have a theme. You may have to think a bit, but it does help if you read the sermon title and also were listening during the children’s moments. Both our stories relate to fish: one to a big fish story and one to fishermen at their nets. There has ...read more

    based on 125 ratings
     | 17,365 views

    Once we develop a vision to rebuilding something that’s broken, then we need to have a plan to turn our intentions into actions.

    Most everyone has good intentions. Some people know what actions will make dreams come true. But few people have a real road map to turn intentions into actions. That’s why life just happens to many people. I said this last week: Everybody ends up somewhere in life. A few people end up ...read more

    Compares Elijah’s time at the Brook Cherith with military boot camp and how God prepares us for service.

It is through the doors of boot camp that an 18-year old from Kiowa, Kansas is shaped into a soldier by doing ...read more

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 10, 2007

It is the story of the ill-fated Franklin expedition to the Arctic in 1845. That odyssey was a turning point in Arctic exploration because of its well-publicized ...read more
