    What Changed? Series

    Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Feb 13, 2025

    I often say, “If there has been no change, then there was no change.” Which means when Christ enters into the life of a new believer then their life will make some changes.

    “What Changed?” Acts 9:17-22 I often say, “If there has been no change, then there was no change.” Which means when Christ enters into the life of a new believer then their life will make some changes. Yet if there is only a prayer that could be called, “fire insurance” with no repentance, there ...read more

    John unpacks the marvelous miracle of Jesus walking on the water from a totally different perspective than what Matthew does (who includes Peter also walking on the water). Why did one disciple include this and why does another leave it out?

    John, Part 23 Series: Give Us This Day, Part 2 John 6:16-21 - Continuing in John with sermon series: “Give Us This Day” (5 parts) -- Purpose: To examine the command (in discipleship) to follow Him (obediently) -- Understand: In order to grow it requires us to dig; comes from a desire for ...read more

    Walking in the dark when all you had to do was turn on the switch.

    Many of us have all walked into a dark room or hallway before. In our journey down the road of darkness, we’ve stubbed a toe, hit an elbow, nicked a knee and hit a head. By the time you get to the end, your results are bruises aches and pains. I’m using this metaphor to illustrate ...read more
