Watch Out For The Shortcuts! Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Apr 4, 2008

47th in a series from Ephesians. Shortcuts in our walk with God rob us of the joy of the journey.

We seem to always be in such a hurry that as a culture, we have fallen in love with shortcuts. My earliest recollection of taking shortcuts goes back to when we used to walk to school each morning. You know – 5 miles, uphill each way, through the snow – in Tucson! Actually it was more like half a ...read more

Sometimes we emphasize about how important a "good start" is, but for me a "good end" is everything...

Watch Your Back!

Watch God Work

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Feb 10, 2010

It is only as we take what Christ has blessed and give to others in His name that we can really stand back and Watch God Work. Let's be His hands extended and truly "feed" the multitudes the bread of life.

WATCH GOD WORK MATT. 14:13 21 This morning I want us to look at one of Christ's most important miracles...the feeding of the multitudes. This miracle is important because all four gospel writers tell about it. It is important because it happened before such a large crowd of people. Jesus and ...read more

The Fourth Watch Of The Night

Contributed by Jim Miller on May 24, 2003

Sometimes we find ourselves in life-storms and after exhausting every method of deliverance, including prayer, we despair and give up. Very often Christ comes at just these precise moments.

THE FOURTH WATCH OF THE NIGHT INTRODUCTION. We’re going to take a little trip with Jesus across the sea of Galilee. Actually, calling it a “Sea” is a bit of a overstatement. It’s a lake. A big lake, but a lake all the same, 15 mi. long and 8 miles wide. TEXT. Matthew 14.22 Immediately Jesus ...read more
