    Where Have You Taken Jesus?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 11, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,180 views

    We have the ability to take Jesus places. He is dependent on us to get around. He lives inside of us. Are we taking him sinful places? Are we hiding Him? Or are we going where He would naturally go?

    WHERE HAVE YOU TAKEN JESUS? John 20:1-16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There were three Native American tribes -- a Navajo, a Hopi, and an Apache -- who were speaking about how powerful their prayers were. 2. The Navajo said, "You know, we Navajos pray for healing, and the patients get well about ...read more

    Although there are some who make light of their struggle with sin, those of us who take our walk with Christ seriously are keenly aware of the reality of that struggle. It is real. And sometimes it is overwhelming.

    The Fear Of The Lord Series

     | 3,099 views

    Fear doesn’t mean cowering in the corner like God is some North Vietnamese dictator and you are a prisoner of war. Fearing the Lord means taking God seriously and not casually.

    Too many people take God casually. Too few people take God seriously in our day. Too many people’s passion for Christ is like the helium balloons from my son’s graduation party. A few balloons had slipped up to the second floor of our home, some twenty feet up in the air. If you wonder how they ...read more

    What would you say is the one thing that hurts our society more than anything else? I would say it is us; the people.

     | 1,110 views

    Do you believe that the Bible can help us with any circumstance that comes into our life. It is always good advice. But do we take seriously the advice from God?

    This past month we asked the question if we even need the Bible. We also talked about listening to God instead of just hearing His word. Last week we talked about meditating on God's word and really taking it to heart. I am going to go back to the book of James today to talk about what we do ...read more

    Do you believe God called you just to study? To live in Vienna, to get a job, find a spouse, to have a family, to settle down, to live the good life or is there an even greater calling on your life?
