    The Choice Of Self Or Surrender Luke 9:23 Introduction: 1. In order to become a true Christ-follower, it takes a heart of surrender. 2.

    Why do we take the cessationist position on the sign gifts?

    In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is very concerned that false teaching be acknowledged and corrected. In our last message, we began to look a Christ’s corrective teaching on prayer. During that study, I made a short reference to the subject of speaking in tongues. I noted in that message ...read more

    Sometimes it takes big problems to bring us to a new beginning.

    As we enter a new year, we are hoping to prosper more than we did the previous year and often we are wanting to forget the many trials and troubles we had as well. The Jewish New Year is on first and second days of Tishri (September-October). Though it is on a different calendar day, it means ...read more

    How To Have A Merry Christmas

    Contributed by James Snyder on Dec 24, 2012
     | 12,289 views

    We face the danger of taking the Merry aspect of Christmas for granted.

    For most, Americans in particular, Christmas is the most artificial time of the year. Everything about it reeks of artificial, from the fake Christmas tree all the way to our Christmas greeting, “Merry Christmas,” and all the singing of Christmas carols. Few people really mean what they sing. All ...read more

    The calling of Peter, what does it take to become a follower of Jesus?

    I’m not sure that’s exactly how it shook down, but it can’t be too far off! Jesus had ascended to heaven and the disciples were left there to make sense of it all, to carry on the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ. They had no idea their efforts would turn into this (look around) ...read more

    What it means to take up our cross and follow Christ.

    “The God We Need” Mark 8:27-38 Peter gets the title right, but he doesn’t seem to understand what that title means. And so, when Jesus starts to talk NOT about the road to glory but instead the one that leads to the Cross, Peter rebukes Him…and then Jesus rebukes Peter right back. Which might ...read more

    It takes a special kind of woman to be what the Bible defines as a mother.

    There is a common myth among women that says “having children makes one a mother.” This notion is as silly as believing that having a piano makes one a musician. That’s because it takes a special kind of woman to be what the Bible defines as a mother. The biblical word translated “mother” is the ...read more

    These days it has become very popular for people to take a cruise.

    What makes these cruises so special, is that for those days on the cruise people get to live the pampered life. When they get back from the cruise, it takes them several days for reality to set back in, and they start to live in the real world again. In our text, we see the apostle Paul is on a ...read more
