Proverb 24:10 – “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength in small” Let us consider the case of Daniel in the Bible.

When He Came Series

Contributed by Jason Cole on Mar 2, 2004

Many people picture Jesus as a baby in the mager, but when Jesus came, He came as so much more. During the Christmas season we remember baby Jesus, but often forget Jesus our reigning King and Lord.

“When He came…” Introduction: Long ago, there ruled in Persia a wise and good king. He loved his people. He wanted to know how they lived. He wanted to know about their hardships. Often he dressed in the clothes of a working man or a beggar, and went to the homes of the poor. No one whom he visited ...read more

Contributed by Wes Richard on Jun 29, 2003

The Gospel of Mark show us that Jesus goes ahead of us in our missionary task.

Last week, I discovered that the roof fan in our attic had burned out. That meant only one thing. Someone was going to have to go up on the roof and replace it, and I knew it wouldn’t be my wife. So I went to the store and bought the fan, and began planning which tools I would use. For ...read more

Should We Wear Collars

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jul 21, 2003

Today as we examine the 8th chapter of Leviticus we will discover four similarities that teach us that the Priesthood of the Old Testament is like the Royal Priesthood of the New Testament in certain respects.

"SHOULD WE WEAR COLLARS" TEXT: LEVITICUS CHAPTER 8 INTRODUCTION By now many of you are over half way through your reading in the book of Leviticus. How are you doing? Do you feel a little weary and worn from struggling through all those passages? Are you having a hard time seeing the ...read more

Live up to the promise of your name

Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy: “What’s in a name? The history of the human race is in names. Our objective friends do not understand that, since they move in a world of objects which can be counted and numbered. They reduce the great names of the past to dust and ashes. This they call scientific history. ...read more

David's Lament Over Saul Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 20, 2003

David is a King after God’s own heart, because he looks to God for success in all he does. David’s success will come from his devotion to and his reliance on the Lord, shown so clearly in his response to the death of Saul.

We return today to the story of Saul and David. If you remember, Saul was anointed King of Israel by popular acclaim, though at God’s direction. He was a man of stature, taller than all his peers, an apt warrior king. Just the sort of man Israel needed to oppose the Philistines. Except that he was ...read more

David Is Made King Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 20, 2003

David becomes King by God’s plan but as a result of a series of events which are sometimes ungodly in nature. God is able to use ungoldy actions by sinful men and women to bring about his good purposes in history.

I think it’s easy to have a romantic view of the history of David as King of Israel. It’s such a great story isn’t it? The good looking shepherd boy who becomes king. The youngest son who is chosen and anointed by God to lead his people. The young lad who defeats the battle seasoned giant Goliath. ...read more

The "As Is" Tag

Contributed by Jeremy Houck on Nov 4, 2003

Adapted from Brother Newlands’ Love The Sinner Hate The Sin Sermon. Everyone of us are damaged goods in some way. Jesus will accept us and make us whole.

I passed out "As Is" Tags before worship and asked everyone to wear them through worship. Then after the sermon I asked everyone to take their tag out with them and give it to someone else this week and explain that Jesus will take you "As Is". As you all know by now Trista and I like to buy ...read more
