    With GPS we can know within 1 foot of where we are on planet Earth. But do we know where we are with God? Sin blinds us to our location and prevents us from know the way, but it is God who seeks us and asks us "where are you?"

    How many of you know what this is? (hold up a paper/fold out road map). We use to navigate all of the country with these. Now we have our smart phones with GPS (Global Positioning System) GPS systems have become very cost efficient and everyone , it seems, has access to one. The satellite system ...read more

    Each of us is born with a preordained purpose and destiny. NOTHING on this planet happens by chance. Zacchaeus' life is a CLEAR example of this. HE drifted from God's plan of salvation, but was brought back by God to fulfill his destiny...his purpose.

     | 20,510 views

    Jesus' parable of the talents is a call to us to invest all that we are and all that we have in God's kingdom building work. The story reminds us not to compare, but to faithfully invest what we have, and to get to know the Master's heart.

    Matthew 25:14-30 Use It or Lose It Today’s parable is a story about investments. Sometimes we think it’s about using our natural abilities to serve God. Why do we think that? Because the story uses the word “talent” throughout. Our English word “talent” actually comes from that interpretation of ...read more

    Ten lepers were healed, yet only one returned to give thanks. There are several truths that can be seen from this one who returned to give thanks that we should apply to ourselves to help us be thankful.

    Can Jesus still heal problems of long standing or is there an expiration date on Healing? Do we listen to people far too much when they tell us that their advise is to "accept your disability" and get on with your life?

    Where is your Bethesda Pool? John 5:1-15 Where is your Bethesda Pool? How long have you been sitting there? There were many people sitting by the pool that day. Jesus observed them sitting there with problems of long standing. In fact this man had his problem for 38 years and after that long a ...read more
