    As a Christian serving and following the Lord, where do you see yourself 5 years from now? Still serving?

    “LOOKING IN THREE DIRECTIONS” (I Thes.1:1-10) 7/15/2005 The background to this church and its beginning is found in Acts 17. Paul was humanly responsible for starting this church…and he only remained there for less than a month. But the church with its new converts took off at record speed…and ...read more

    The Temple Incident

    Contributed by David Petticrew on Mar 16, 2003
    based on 20 ratings
     | 4,590 views

    Jesus actions in the temple demonstrate that we have a responsibility to reach out and not just to make things comfortable for ourselves.

    The story we read today is an interesting one. It’s one that doesn’t really fit with the picture of Jesus that we usually think about. How does a loving Jesus, who goes around teaching good morals, fit with this violent figure who disrupts a market place, stops temple worship and causes chaos. If ...read more

    This is about undistracted worship.

    Do you remember “Let’s Make A Deal” with Monty Hall? People would dress up in goofy costumes and carry signs to get his attention so he would come to them to make a deal. They would barter and trade. Unknowingly contestants would trade away a new car for 5 baby pigs. Or, they would trade away ...read more

    The Obedience Of Love; The Love Of Obedience

    Fourth sermon in the summer 2006 Series, “Being God’s People by Serving, Obeying, and Giving.”

    What is love? Love has always been a big topic of discussion between us humans. Much is said about love and much is written about love. However, it seems to me that we have never been able to give a satisfactory answer to the question, ‘What is love?’ (1) But we are often able to describe love ...read more

    The requirement to worship our God can be quenched but when our pets have something to say you can’t stop them.

    Noisy Pets Luke 19:37-40 It happened when I was in High School. It swept the nation in a matter of a few days. There were shortages and waiting list. Do any of you remember the pet rock craze?
