    Christian shrewdness means to use earthly treasures to build heavnly friendships

    Sermon Text: Luke 16:1-10 WHAT’S IT MEAN TO BE SHREWD? Do you know any shrewd characters? It all depends on our understanding of the word “shrewd”.

    Oneness in the community of faith.

    Oneness in the community of faith is achieved, not by conforming everyone to the lowest common denominator in Christ, but by recognizing that each person, as a result of God’s grace and the gifting of the Holy Spirit, receives an ability to supply what is needed for the common good of the whole ...read more

    There is nothing so fulfilling as good timing, nothing so embarassing as bad timing. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was wonderful for some, judgment time for others. What time is it for us? (MLK assassination anniversary)

     | 2,294 views

    In a world that says, everyone's truth is subjective. Today is the day to stand up for what we believe. My belief is grounded in God's word.

    I want to speak to you today on what we believe. There is no question about in whom we believe. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Someone once said to me, “Just exactly what does your church believe? What do you believe? No one could reach on all we believe in one service, but I want us to ...read more

    Have you realized that when you search the scriptures that God does not commend mankind in the final hour for what they have achieved in this life. God is not impressed with our status – degrees – employment history - titles. Those who found favor

    We can get so caught up in thinking about going to heaven that we forget to participate in the NOW. This lesson is intended to remind us that God is at work now, now just in the World to Come.

    1. I spent many years planning to “go to heaven and take many people with me.” a. As a result I have wasted a lot of time in the here and now. b.

     | 17,214 views

    What can stop God? Not something or someone more powerful than Him. The only thing in the bible that stopped God (Jesus) was when His children call out to Him. When Jesus heard His kids calling, He stopped. We should too.

    Our Lord appoints each of His followers to a particular task. Though the task may appear difficult, it is common that we Christians attempt to turn His command by asking what He is doing in the life of another. We need to learn to focus on His work in our own life.

    “[Jesus said] ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.’ (This he said to show by what kind of death he was ...read more

    Christmas, not like it should be Matthew 2:1-12 If you will turn in your Bibles with me to Matthew 2:1-12, as we read some of the Christmas story this morning.
