    Letters Of Recommendation

    Paul reminds the Corinthians that true Christian leadership isn't about  credentials but pointing people to Christ. Our transformed lives are the Holy Spirit’s “letters of recommendation,” of God's truth.  

    Letters of Recommendation GOOD MORNING. This morning, we’re looking at our Epistle lesson, and letters of recommendation if you saw that. You might have needed one for a job, a college application, to rent an apartment. I’ve written lots. But what is your ultimate letter of recommendation? We can ...read more

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    Upside Down is Right Side Up! Part1 Acts 17:1-6 A man was shoveling snow in his driveway when 2 boys came along with shovels. “Hey Mister, can we shovel your driveway? It will only cost $2.” He said, “Can’t you boys see I’m already doing that?” “Yes sir, ...read more

    Jesus changes the attitude of the disciples on the way to Emmaus with the expounding of Scriptures - showing them and us hope.

    There are experts in the field who tell you how to shake a hand, how to walk, how to talk, to try to look more confident, more assured - more impressive. Maybe you remember your mom telling you on occasion, “stop slouching! Say thank you! Stop mumbling! Look at me when I’m talking to you.” ...read more

    Without controversy, anyone, will agree that the Apostle Paul was the one New Testament figure that stood out above all others. His life teaches us a wonderful pattern to follow.

    A study on our role in evangelism.

    The mission of the church begins with Jesus Himself. “God had an only son,” David Livingstone wrote, “and He was a missionary…” His was not a self-appointed job. He was commissioned or sent by God to accomplish a purpose. Jesus multiplied His effectiveness by transmitting God’s commission to ...read more

    Right Side Up In An Upside Down World Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Oct 1, 2015
     | 5,372 views

    Rather than giving a list of ideals to strive for, Jesus was showing the people how widely available God’s kingdom was – even for ordinary, poor, ignorant, imperfect, despised people. The beatitudes describe their struggle & grace to thrive in adversity.

    Right Side Up in an Upside Down World Intro: The more I study the Sermon on the Mount, esp. the Beatitudes, the less prescriptive and the more descriptive they become to me. Here is what I mean by that. Last week as I shared them, I introduced the first one (poor in spirit) as a requirement for ...read more
