     | 6,065 views

    You don’t have to live like many of those around us are living—in despair and fear and shame. You can have a new life. You can put on a new self.

    So…Live On Another Level Pastor Jim Luthy Ephesians 4:17-24 You’ve pursued understanding and received grace. So what? That’s a great question: "So what?" We’ve reduced it to be the question of the lazy and uncooperative: "So?" But the truth is, people who make a difference ask that question. ...read more

    There are those who declare that you can tell if you have the Spirit by some miraculous behavior on your part. But, Paul writes that you need to gauge God’s Spirit in a different way.

    Two good old boys bought a couple of horses during the summer. But when winter came, they found it cost too much to board them. So they turned the horses loose in a pasture where there was plenty to eat. One said to the other: "How will we tell yours from mine when we pick them up?" "Oh ...read more

    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,719 views

    Those who say: "it doesn’t matter what you believe so long as you are sincere" are espousing a very dangerous and false doctrine. It really does matter what you believe.

    IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHAT YOU BELIEVE “Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.” Hebrews 10:38-39 The statement "It ...read more

     | 16,558 views

    Grace. Those most people thought were least likely to become God’s people are the ones who come to Christ; while the ones often thought to be most likely became his enemies.

    Two of the surprises that we come across as we read the New Testament are the people who become close to Jesus, and the people who are alienated from Jesus. It is surprising because it is exactly the opposite of what we would expect to find. We would expect Jesus to be close to the religious folk ...read more

    Christ is the Food We Need; all other food is perishing, as are those who trust in it; earthly food is merely a means to sustain life, while we need a food that will give life to the dead

    The Food We Need St. John 6:22-35 Introduction Our Old Testament reading this morning recounts the story of the Lord’s providing manna for the Children of Israel as they made their way to the promised land.

    Looking at the times we need to trust God with the unique ways He chooses to answer our prayers. This is also a look at those who were near Naaman and chose to help him and bless him.

    “Go Jump in a Lake” II Kings 5:1-14 2KI 5:1 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the LORD had given victory to Aram.

     | 10,290 views

    The point of this study is to see the necessity of obedience in this first matter (they were to do this so as to provide for the Levite, the stranger, the widow, and the orphan of those among them) before a prayer for blessing can be uttered by the Israel

    Legacies are rare and special gifts, from one person to another, from one generation to the next. As Christians we should seek to leave a lasting legacy of godliness for those who come behind us.

    LEAVING A LASTING LEGACY PROVERBS 13:22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

     | 26,859 views

    Sometimes Christians speak in "Christianese". We talk in terms and words not in common usage outside the church. "Fellowship" is one of those words. This sermon is on our fellowship with God and our fellowship with our fellow man.

The first pastor said, "You know, since summer started, I’ve been having trouble with mice in my church. I’ve tried everything----noise, spray, cats---nothing seems to scare them away."

    While Israel and world awaits the building of the Third Temple we must realize that the true temple is a spiritual house that each of those who are born again are living stones that make up the House of God.

    THE THIRD TEMPLE By Pastor Jim May 1 Peter 2:5-10 We are living in a time when all of those who are waiting for the coming of the Lord are watching the events of this world and wondering just how close we are to that day when we shall all be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. ...read more
