    based on 7 ratings

    The Bible tells us we should "Run in such a way as to get the prize." But there's one part of the race that's crucially important for us. Do you know what that is?

    I love this church. It’s so great to have this kind of worship where our Hispanic and Anglo congregations can get together, pray, sing praises and study God’s Word together. I’ve preached for about 24 years now, and every couple of years or so, I’ve preached the type of sermon I’m going to preach ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 623 views

    There is a tragic reality happening in churches around the world every Sunday: People can be physically present in church… yet spiritually absent from Christ. You can sit in a pew, lift your hands, sing the songs, carry a Bible, know the language of church life—and still not know Jesus.

    Go! And… Stop Being Present in Church but Absent in Christ INTRODUCTION — When Presence Isn’t Participation There is a tragic reality happening in churches around the world every Sunday: People can be physically present in church… yet spiritually absent from Christ.

    based on 30 ratings
     | 68,969 views

    It almost seems like Jesus cannot heal this blind man. It takes Him 2 times to give this man back his sight. What's going on here and what can it tell us about our need for God's touch in our lives?

    OPEN: How many of you spend time on Facebook? (At least half the congregation raised their hands). Me too.

    based on 15 ratings
     | 37,670 views

    What impressed Jesus in this story was the faith of the men who'd brought their friend to him - a friend who was crippled and lived in a low place of life. The phrase is "Jesus saw their faith." What does that mean? And what can it mean to us?

    A few years back, Garth Brooks came out with a popular Country and Western song called: “I’ve Got Friends In Low Places” How many of you have ever heard the song? (when most of them raised their hands, I stage whispered: “Pagans”) It has a catchy tune, but it is NOT a ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 426 views

    “What is His name?” That’s the question Moses asked God at the burning bush. It’s the same question many ask today — sometimes with curiosity, sometimes with doubt, sometimes with desperation. Who is God? What is He like? Can I know Him personally?

    based on 30 ratings

    What was the star that led the Wisemen to Jesus and what difference does that make to us today?

    OPEN: Years ago I wrote a song about the Wise Men. The first verse went this way “Out in the fields, watching the sky. Looking to heaven, searching on high. Troubled by things I’d seen on this earth, I knew that my answer lay with a child’s birth. For the prophecy said that a star in the sky, ...read more

     | 2,135 views

    Are we the product of 13.6 billion years (give or take a few billion) or are we the direct creation of a Creator who made us in His own image? What makes us different from all of the other animals on earth? God knows. And He told us.
