     | 4,066 views

    I have often been asked by christians "why if the Bible doesn’t mention smoking, how can it be wrong" I believe this message answers those questions.

Jesus is our example of what a Christian should be. (ILL) My great-grandmother used to say, "If God ...read more

    In order to understand the crucified life, we must: 1. Understand who God is. 2. Understand who we are. 3. Decide whose life we are going to live.

    There is a wonderful story of St. Francis of Assisi and one of his student monks. “One day Saint Francis and Brother Leo were walking down the road. Noticing that Leo was depressed, Francis turned and asked: ‘Leo, do you know what it means to be pure of heart?’ ‘Of course. It means to have no ...read more

    On the Mount of transfiguration Peter wanted to freeze the moment by building three dwellings or monuments. We are called to transformation and must therefore resist the three monuments to fundamentalism.

    Sermon for the Second Sunday in Lent Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them. (Mark 9:2 NRSV) As ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,492 views

    Paul and his team authentically modeled the message, focusing on the praise of God, not men. We must do the same and be as gentle as a mother and as firm as a father with those we are hoping to influence.

    Marks of a Healthy Church After the sermon last week, someone came up to me and asked me a question: “If First Thessalonians is one of the shortest and easiest books to understand, why are you taking 14 weeks to preach through it?” I told him that he should be glad I’m not preaching through the ...read more

    I think it’s safe to say that the majority of us want to become everything God wants us to be, the problem is that we fall short of God’s perfect plan for our lives. Too often we take matters into our own hands and mess up God’s plan for us. We end up set

    based on 46 ratings

  • Living Sacrifices

When I think of the word ‘sacrifice’, certain images come to mind. I think of a play made in baseball, where one player is tagged out ...read more
