    Jesus gave everything, we too should choose to give and serve one another in love.

    Tonight I want to start out by having a little brain storming session. I have a blank card for each of you that I want to pick one of the sides and write the word “serve” at the top. Now, I want us to take a minute or two and just write down all the things that come to your mind when you hear this ...read more

    Sometimes in the church we throw around words and due to their constant use we forget what the meaning of the word actually is. One of the most misunderstood words we use is the word "repentance". What exactly does repentance mean and how important is r

    What Does it Mean to Repent of Sin? Introduction: The word repentance is not a popular word in today’s society.

    based on 96 ratings
     | 29,439 views

    We throw around many words and cliches in the church. One of those is that we are free in Christ, but what does that freedom mean? Many assume it means a freedom to do more things, but that is not what freedom in Christ is all about.

    “What Does It Mean to Have Freedom?” Introduction: Martin Luther King, Jr. in his famous “I Have a Dream” speech said some beautiful words that he quoted from an old Negro spiritual, “free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty we’re free at last…” Patrick Henry famously said in a speech to the ...read more

    This sermon examines the word "saved" and defines the Biblical meaning of it.

    Some years ago I was visiting a man who caused me to rethink the wording I use in addressing unbelievers. I asked the man a question, "Are you saved?" Like most believers, I assumed the man knew what I meant by the word saved. After all, the word "saved" appears in the Bible. He put into clear ...read more

    What It Means To Have Faith (1)

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 2, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,077 views

    Biblical faith is real, practical and experiential. Faith is dependency on God. Practical faith is (1) believing when you don’t see it, and (2) obeying when you don’t understand it.

    Turn with me to Hebrews 11. Look through and you’ll see these words: BY FAITH… • We have here a list of men (and woman) in history that have exercised faith in God and saw the acts of God in their lives. • Biblical faith is not an emotion or a feeling. It is not abstract or intangible. It is ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Count The Cost Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 30, 2013
     | 7,192 views

    A look at what it means to "count the cost" and why that's so essential. This message calls down the cheap gospel presentations that we so often make that have no mention in them of what it actually means to follow Jesus.

    CHEAP FAITH: Too often we offer salvation that’s straight from the discount bin. - Luke 14:28-32. - Our approach to evangelism is too often to present salvation as a low-cost, no-commitment offer. All you need to do is say you believe in Jesus! That’s it! There’s no mention of the need for ...read more

    Adoption during the writings of Paul meant something totally different then it does today. Adoption signifies that you are legally a child of God. You are a full fledged member of the family. A joint heir with Christ. Updated July 2023.

     | 20,836 views

    For Christians to really celebrate Easter, they must decide if Jesus is My Savior and that's all, or My Lord and My GOD! Who is Jesus to me really?

    Last Sunday Night after our contata, I told you that Easter is not about bunnies, new clothes, sunrise services, or special candy. It is all about a risen Savior, Jesus Christ.

    Faith is persevering when you don’t feel like it, and trusting God even when you don’t get it.

    Faith is dependency on God. Faith is practical. We exercise faith by acting on what we believe. The FOUR Principles of Practical Faith (from Hebrews 11) (1) FAITH IS BELIEVING WHEN YOU DON’T SEE IT (Heb 11:1,7) • In a sense, you have to have faith that it is going to happen, FOR IT to happen. ...read more
