    Radical Hospitality is about planning Hospitality for more than just those who walk in your worship area.

    I. Introduction to 5 Practices * Video - Drive Thru Church (found on YouTube) Sometimes we expect the church to bend for our needs rather than us bending for it. Same thing with our youth group. Sometimes we want things to happen that we want rather than what is best for the ministry. We want ...read more

    A Passion For The Lost

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 8, 2021
     | 2,908 views

    Jesus welcomed those who others rejected. The Pharisees and scribes pushed them away. The crowd just watched. Who will we be like?

    We’re continuing our journey with Jesus and his disciples from Galilee to Jerusalem. This week we’re taking a big hop from Luke 12 to Luke 15. As Jesus and his disciples travelled, Jesus has been teaching [picture on slide]. He and his disciples have been healing and casting out demons. ...read more

    When God calls people to us, it is our job to gather them in his name and share the joy he provides for all in his house of prayer.

    Almost 40 years ago, July or August of 1984, I was at my very first Bible camp. It was the annual women’s retreat for the Northwest Women’s Caucus of the Evangelical Free Church of America, and I was scared to death. Well, maybe that was putting it a little strongly, but I was pretty nervous. You ...read more

    Launching from Jesus' call to love our enemies and be perfect, this sermon speaks of love and welcoming.

    In 1979, Tim Hansel published a book entitled "When I Relax I feel Guilty". Included in the book is this raw and provocative tidbit. "I would like to buy three dollars’ worth of God, please. Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a ...read more

    Is It Ok To Doubt? Series

    Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Apr 19, 2024
     | 960 views

    For the doubters and skeptics, this is where you belong, right there with Thomas. Jesus didn't criticize his doubting, he invited him to actually touch him. You don't have to believe to come, this is a place where we can ask our questions. This is a place where we find Jesus to be real.

    My theme this Eastertide is the way that Jesus changed who we are AFTER the resurrection – while most of our studies are on the person Jesus BEFORE the crucifixion, what happened after is what changed us permanently. But the truth is, even those of us who call ourselves believers doubt at times. ...read more

     | 4,984 views

    There is a war going on between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. And our behavior shows which of the two is winning.

    Passage: I Corinthians 3:1-9 Intro: It’s sad to watch someone who has deceived themselves. 1. people who talk the talk, but can’t walk the walk. 2. the Taliban and Iraqi fighters, so full of bravado one week, lining up to hand over their weapons the next. 3. some football teams, staking their ...read more

    First in a series on the Holy Spirit it, looking at the Spirit’s place in the Trinity. God invites us through the Spirit to participate in the intimacy of the trinity. Join the dance! Ends with a parable I wrote.

    The Holy Who? Spirit and Trinity May 3/4, 2003 Intro: Being a Christian is about knowing God. It is about being in relationship with God. Faith is not mentally agreeing with a prescribed set of abstract principles, faith is about living in obedience to a God you know and love and worship and ...read more

    When we allow them, there are spirits that can cripple us.

    THE CRIPPLING SPIRIT Luke 13:10-17 For eighteen years this woman came to church bent over. Crippled. She had been faithful, loved the Lord, a “daughter of Abraham.” I guess you could say she was “saved.” Eighteen years is a long time. Everybody had accepted her condition.

    An Unbroken Spirit

    Contributed by Michael Poston on Sep 3, 2001
    based on 34 ratings
     | 10,177 views

    There is an unbroken spirit in the Church today that simply co-exists with lost humanity never reaching out to them with the message of Jesus.

    Today we are living in a very unusual age as far as the church is concerned. A day when the hearts and lives of Christian people are not moved at all by the things that are happenning around them. If the world could ask of us some questions tonight I believe they would be: Do you still care ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,079 views

    Jesus calls the Holy Spirit (depending on your translation) a “Helper”, “Comforter”, or “Counselor” (vs 16). This title literally means one who comes alongside to assist us, working in and through us, encouraging us along life’s way.

    “I Believe” -Sermon Series on the Apostles Creed “Spirit-Control” John 14:16-27 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts One phrase we hear a lot in church is a way of either introducing worship or ending a prayer: “In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, ...read more

     | 78,801 views

    Brokenness is a spiritual condition that attracts the attention of God. Brokenness always gives us more understanding of ourselves and Him. Admittedly, we resist this process. It is hard to give up our agendas, objectives, aspirations and interests. B
