    Express Kindness

     | 1,282 views

    Not every act of kindness pays ; it doesn’t always turn out to be profitable. In fact, often times kindness costs us something. But it is fulfilling, it is commanded, and it’s an important attribute of love.

    June 5th 2016 Seaford Christian Church (Homecoming) Express Kindness Luke 8: 40 – 56 I heard about a woman who had just cashed her income tax return check, and as she was standing at a bus stop a man went over to a poorly dressed man, whispered something in his ear, and handed him some money.

    The world has a twisted view today of what makes a hero. But God says the real heroes aren’t the ones that can fly or shoot webbing, the real heroes, the spiritual heroes are the ones that will give their lives to follow Him. These heroes have greater spi

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,809 views

    When God says "no" it's because He wants what's best for us.

    Two weeks ago we looked at the story of Jonathan and his armor bearer charging the Philistines. It was one of those times in scripture when God said not just yes but maybe. Why did God say maybe? Because he wanted Jonathan to pick a direction and go. God was waiting for someone to choose to ...read more

    Now is the time to look back over the past two years of the pandemic and see where God was clearly present and at work. It is also an important time for us to look at ourselves and how we reacted to this time of crisis and testing

    Why would you want to settle for just “doing church” when you could be filled with the awe of God?

    Mary and I are truly grateful to the church for providing us with some extended time off to celebrate our 40th anniversary. As usual, it was great to have some down time just to relax and be refreshed on our vacation and, other than the cold that I think I picked up on the way home when there were ...read more

    XMAS - Advent sharpens spiritual sight; like Simeon and Anna, we recognize Jesus through devotion, worship, and Spirit-led attentiveness as God draws near.

    THE EYES HAVE IT There is a quiet kind of beauty in the Advent season that has nothing to do with lights, trees, music, or celebration. It is the beauty of waiting. Of watching. Of learning to see God when He draws near. Advent, at its heart, is a season of holy attentiveness—where the people of ...read more

    The risen Christ gives the power to live and be whole.

    I am captivated by the scripture which says, “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly” (Romans 5:6). Then Paul says, “For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been ...read more
