    Sometimes we respond to people’s sin and think we are responding the way that God would have. The best way to see how to deal with sin is to see how Jesus dealt with people’s sins during His life.

    God views "success" differently than we do. God looks at "faithfulness" as His standard for determining "success". Examples are given as to some "Successful Failures", such as Isaiah, Jeremiah and Peter.

    “Success And Failure” 1 Corinthians 4:2 INTRODUCTION: Everybody wants to be successful … or a part of something successful. BUT … I had to ask myself, “What does SUCCESSFUL mean?” You want to be a “successful” parent … RIGHT? (our series on Sunday nights) What does that mean? Does it mean ...read more

    Life is a great journey on which we are in the process of going through. The Christian Life has often been compared to a “race”, a “fight”, a “warfare”, a “journey”, and more.

    we spend far too much time trying to please everybody else, that we lose ourselves and our identities with God.

    Luke 7:11-23 You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Verse 14 says, "Then Jesus went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still."

    In our study of Luke, in the beginning of chapter 20 we find the religious leaders desparate to discredit Jesus and they openly challenge His authority!

    Read Luke 20:1-8… Set the stage: Chapter 20 continues the final week of Jesus, after He has entered Jerusalem and after He has made a scene in His clearing of the Temple and chided the money changers and crooked business practices that took place in the Temple!
