    The Applause Of Christmas

    Ultimately, the birth of Jesus is about who gets glory. Glory to God!

    We haven’t spent too much time thinking about the way things were in the world when Jesus was born. I listened to a talk by speaker Rob Bell this week and I started thinking about what the world was like when Jesus was born. Look at Luke 2:1. In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus ...read more

     | 97 views

    God’s presence and promise give us courage to face opposition and uncertainty, reminding us that prayer shapes our lives and God stands with us always.

    Some weeks feel like a wrestling match. You wake up with a knot in your stomach, step into the day with a brave face, and still hear the whispers of worry: What if this doesn’t work? What if they don’t understand? What if I’m not enough? You’ve felt the headwinds—critics at the office, tension at ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 104 views

    True strength and clarity come from worshiping God with undivided hearts, ministering to Him in prayerful devotion, and listening for the Spirit’s leading.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us came in with calendars crammed full and hearts running on low. You may feel stretched, hurried, or a little hollow. Find your seat. Breathe. The God who knows your name is near. He is not nervous, and He is not in a rush. He is here to meet with His people, and He loves ...read more

     | 72 views

    God sees and values our hidden faithfulness, works through our weakness, and calls us to trust His authority and power through prayerful obedience.

    Some of us know the quiet corners of life—the cubicle where no one notices, the kitchen where you serve with a smile, the classroom where faith is a whisper. You wonder, Does God see me here? Does this count? Friend, the Father’s eyes are not dim. He sees the sparrow’s flight and your faithful ...read more

    Faithful, unseen acts of kindness matter deeply to God; persist in doing good, trusting that your efforts will bear fruit in His perfect timing.

    Some days feel like a long string of unnoticed kindness. A parent packing lunches after a long shift. A nurse offering a smile under a mask. A teacher giving one more call to a student who’s fallen behind. A caregiver who holds a trembling hand at midnight. Seeds of goodness go into the soil, and ...read more

    Looks at Gomer and how we are like her.

    It seemed like a life time ago and when he thought about it it was a different life. She had been so beautiful on their wedding day. She was a radiant young bride and he was an aspiring man of God. They had their entire lives ahead of them and they had such great dreams and hopes for their ...read more

     | 10,456 views

    Jesus talks about a mission that seems foreign to his character as the Prince of Peace - that of causing divisions. Come and explore this strange text with me.

    August 29, 2004 Luke 12:49-53 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be ...read more

    In looking into the reality of spiritual authenticity of worship, walk, and witness, this sermon looks into the first part of worship "is not".

    Worship IS NOT! When speaking of the relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans of this time we must understand that there was a hatred and bitterness greater than any that we could probably imagine. The closest example I can think of to relate Jews and Samaritans may be that of segregation ...read more

    When we’re tempted to focus on everything that’s wrong in our lives, God directs us back to him and leaves us no room for self-pity.

    Let me begin by making two statements: First, forgiveness may be unnecessary among perfect beings, but it is vital to those of us with enough wisdom to admit we are imperfect. Second, above all, we need forgiveness from our Creator just to be reconcil

    TEXT: Luke 23:34a TITLE: FROM THE CROSS TO THE WORLD {Forgiveness} Let me begin by making two statements: First, forgiveness may be unnecessary among perfect beings, but it is vital to those of us with enough wisdom to admit we are imperfect.

    What does it take, and what does it mean to belong to a Family, especially the Family of God?

    WELCOME TO THE FAMILY by Pastor James May The greatest institution that God gave to man is the family unit. The family is where we are trained, taught, and learn to know that we belong. Every member of the family, whether there are a few, or many, develops a sense of belonging that gives them a ...read more

    This sermon uses the harvesting of Sugar Cane in South Louisiana as a comparison to the harvest of souls that is coming upon the earth in these last days.

    HARVEST TIME IS HERE! Matthew 24:32-34, "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

    Belonging and the desire to belong are not bad, but the desire to gain status by belonging is dangerous. This text explores Paul’s thoughts on preacher worship and the division it causes.

    Fooling The Magician

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 30, 2000
    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,641 views

    We fool the magician (Satan, the master illusionist) by refusing to believe the illusion, pulling back the curtain and trusting the unseen reality.

    Some of you may have seen David Copperfield perform his magic. His act includes a lot of glitzy conjuration, including: levitating himself, being sawn in two, and making things appear and disappear. Using illusion, he has carried the art to the extreme. He has “walked through” the Great Wall of ...read more
