    Blessed Are The Meek Series

    Contributed by Art Campbell on Jun 30, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,656 views

    Many people confuse meekness for weakness. But true meekness is strong, a gentleness of spirit and humility that comes from confidence in God.

    Matt 5.5 "Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth." As we go through these beatitudes we’re discovering that Jesus turns conventional wisdom on its head and presents those things the world despises as the way of the Kingdom. And this morning we’ve come to a beatitude that isn’t ...read more

    Each of us is a wounded warrior in the battle of life. We don’t have strength enough to fight the battles on our own. But as we surrender our brokenness to God, He will give us the strength to be peacemakers. He makes up the difference between our abil

    Weddings! Barbara (our organist) has likely played at more weddings than I’ve ever performed, but I know she and I probably have some wedding nightmare stories to tell, if we could tell them. We might have to change the names to protect the innocent. If you know me, I like to start on time. ...read more

    God is the master of bringing good things out of bad things. He loves to turn crucifixions into resurrections. How does He do it? Phil.1:12-20 shows us.

    “HOW GOD BRINGS GOOD OUT OF BAD” Philippians 1:12-20 ________________________________________ Tonight we’re going to see how God brings good out of Paul’s bad circumstances.

    Are You Imprinted? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 10, 2014
     | 6,003 views

    Many of us don’t realize that when we are born, and as we are raised, we are imprinted with a value set that comes from this age. It makes it impossible to think clearly about how the universe really operates. But in Jesus, there finally is clarity.

    It’s really encouraging when you get good news about something, isn’t it? The Apostle Paul has gotten some really good news about the people living in Ephesus. The gospel first reached Ephesus in Acts 19. The people he met had been baptized into John’s baptism. They had incomplete ...read more

    How To Find Contentment

    Contributed by Jason Jones on Feb 19, 2019
     | 4,668 views

    The teaching here is two-fold: contentment versus greed and instructions to the rich. The common bond is the purpose of blessing and contentment with provision for the greedy and for the rich.

    A Warning And A Promise

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 23, 2024
     | 642 views

    As Jesus rode into Jerusalem, he wept. His coming to Jerusalem would be a 'career-ending moment' for Jerusalem. There's a serious warning here for us. But there's also a promise. Jesus fulfilled Zechariah's prophecy - and Zechariah has more prophecies.

    Today is Palm Sunday. It’s the Sunday in the year when we remember that a week before Jesus was crucified, he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. People took palm branches and shouted out, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!’ It seems like a very ...read more

     | 1,738 views

    None of us is immune to being tempted … but we all can overcome by following the same model that Jesus provided for us. When you resist him, you are choosing the things of God; you are choosing to turn away from the quick pleasure fix (of sin) and seeking His way to guide your life.
