    Through his first miracle, at the wedding in Caana, Jesus shows that he cares about the small stuff in our lives…we should care about the small stuff in the lives of others.

    Introduction: “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” We’ve all heard it. Many of us try to practice it. We encourage others to do it. There are even books about it. We are supposed to stop worrying about the small stuff and just let it go. There’s just one problem with that; most of life is made up of ...read more

I was struck this week by John Piper’s journal entry: He recounted as he sat beside the bed of his father keeping a vigil. He monitored his ...read more

    We are unhappy if we lose something precious and really glad when we find it again. God is sad when we wander away from him, but really happy when we let him lead us home again.

    I really enjoy doing jigsaws – when I get the time, that is. Does anyone else here like jigsaws? What’s the biggest jigsaw you’ve ever done? The biggest one I’ve ever done is 1000 pieces.

    Can Christianity be trendy? Absolutely! It’s faddish, popular, and contemporary. But if its not real to you, it will eventually cease to gratify and feed your curiosity, then you will find something else that will. Hell will be full of trendies.

    THE “IN THING” Matt 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. The worldview of Christianity is that it is controlling, a needless waste of time and a money consumer, restrictive, intolerant, and maybe even cliquish ...read more

    This is for people who are searching for something in their life and they are unsure of what it is.

    Did you know that you were a “searcher”? That’s also the way the Bible describes the human condition - our condition - yours and mine. We are searchers, on the move, wandering and looking. The Old Testament is filled with marvelous stories of searchers. Abraham and Sarah left their home to ...read more

    In this final sermon of 2006, the message is that Jesus can make all things new. As the old things pass away, Jesus replaces them with New things, if we will only give our hearts to Him.

    New Things By Pastor Jim May As we enter this New Year of 2007 I thought it would be good for us to think about having some new things. Don’t you just love being able to have something new?

    Do you worry about the end of things? So did the Thessalonians. Paul the Apostle brings them and us some words of encouragement.

One day there will be nothing left but coldness and darkness – no life. But wait! ...read more
