    Contributed by Kevin Jones on Feb 28, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 12,297 views

    This sermon is from the story of the valley of dry bones and how that God is wanting to speak to that in your life which you have counted as dead or lost.

It is ingratitude for the blessings of yesterday, indifference to the opportunities of today, and insecurity regarding strength for tomorrow. ...read more

    Sometimes we get so focused on just one aspect of Christianity that we fail to see the big picture: we miss the rest of the story.

    Wine is mentioned for the first time in the Bible, and it is connected with drunken behaviour. But it is Ham’s disrespect, not Noah’s failures that feature in this story.

    Genesis 9 – Part 4 – AM I SUPPOSED TO RESPECT MY OLD MAN IF HE’S AN IDIOT? By now you remember the story – Noah gets drunk and gets naked in his tent. He behaves badly. He fails in terms of his witness to his family. He fails God in that he’s way out of control. ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,161 views

    Jesus tells a timeless tale of a man traveling a trecherous trail. Three hearts are found in this story: the hateful heart, hurried heart, and helpful heart.

    The Loving Neighbor Robert Frost once wrote one of America’s most beloved poems. Since Mr. Frost left it untitled, some have called it The Road Not Taken, others call it The Road Less Traveled—I guess it’s a matter of perspective. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood And sorry I could not travel ...read more
