    We often think of Jesus as being the Prince of Peace. So what did He mean when He said He came to bring a sword?

    Let me ask you something… when you think about Jesus, what are some characteristics that come to mind? PARTICIPATION (Loving, gentle, kind, forgiving…) That’s the Jesus most of us think about. That’s the Lord and God we want to know… one who’s compassionate, caring, understanding, generous. And ...read more

     | 1,700 views

    Now that we have the prize of communion with God we should run with it, and grow in it, for all the many years ahead of us. As the scriptures say, come into maturity, find a stability in our walks with God, where we go deeper, and we really learn to go to the depths of Jesus Christ.

    8th in a series from Ecclesiastes. We need to base what we think about God on His Word, not on what we observe in this world.

     | 2,975 views

    "Rugged Individualism" is thinking that we need to rely on ourselves. But this can lead to trouble, as the Israelites (and the Corinthians, and people today) indicate. Instead, we should pursue "rugged surrender".

    March 10, 2004 Title: Rugged Individualism? Rugged Surrender! Text: 1Co_10:1-13 Introduction 1. One of my favorite radio personalities preaches a doctrine of "rugged individualism"... if we work hard...anything is possible we are responsible for our own actions... we take care of ...read more

    God is working in this church, not because we’re special people, but because we’ve chose to be obedient to His call. That’s our choice. I invite you to become a total part of this family of faith and move ahead with us. We don’t know what the future holds

    Restoring the Spirit of Adventure Genesis 6:1-8 and 22 (John 10:10, Hebrews 11) One of our church members shared with me at one time and she said “I am 100%+ in favor of TIBC moving forward.

    Palm Sunday is a day of stark contrast. An all powerful King enters on a colt, is rebuked by sinners who think themselves saints, and weeps over the city that is about to join in his execution.

    Message grounds Christians in biblical principles that can guide us during these turbulent times. How did we get to where we are at? What is behind the national shift in leadership and how do we respond to it? What can God's people expect in the days ahead?

    This morning I am compelled to step out of our series on end times and address the crisis we are currently experiencing in America. This week the election results were certified by Congress. That happened in the midst of a chaotic assault on Capitol Hill that was tragic in its results. Where are we ...read more

     | 11,192 views

    What did Jesus teach? Servant hood. Throughout His life He always put others first before Himself. Everyday He would spend time with His Father alone in prayer to prepare Himself for His day ahead, in teaching, healing, praying, but mostly serving.

    Who among us does not want to be recognized for something? We long for human affirmation. We want to be recognized for a job well done, for boldly helping others, for supporting a cause we believe in. It is our nature, our human nature, but the words of Christ teach us otherwise. Within the ...read more
