    The wise men are a surprising twist to the narrative from Matthew. What does their presence indicate and how does getting to know them help us prepare for Christmas?

    You may have noticed the chalkboard signs that are scattered around the church building. Each has a different saying- “Be the Branch,” “Catch the Wind,” “Wreck the Roof,” “Grip the Plow,” and “Empty the Jar.” They come from a small group video Bible study our groups participated in a while back. ...read more

    "If The Church Would Just Pray"

    When Peter was in prison, awaiting what appeared to be a sure execution, the church prayed without ceasing for him and Peter was set free by an angel of the Lord. Powerful things happen the church prays.

    In the text, we find something taking place that seems to be missing in many churches today – that is church folk praying for church folk. In this particular case, a church member in trouble. The Apostle Peter is on death roll and all petitions to commute his sentence have been exhausted. ...read more

    As long as a person is alive, he will always face attacks, especially if the person is a Christian.

    Christians are the prime targets of the devil, the common enemy of mankind. Now more than ever, he unleashes his rage and destruction against people because he knows that his time is short. Christians especially experience strange attacks, both physical and spiritual, day and night. In such ...read more

    What Jesus Knew

    Contributed by Terry Barnhill on May 11, 2010
     | 2,095 views

    He’s telling you not to be surprised “if the world hates you”, and then he’s telling you why it hates you. It’s precisely because “we love our brothers.”

    In preparing the sermon for today, a singular thought pressed on me repeatedly. We read the stories of Jesus. We recite the Creeds of Christendom, and we share the understanding that Jesus was fully God and fully man . . . the divine paradox. But how often are we really willing to make the ...read more

    Jesus Calms The Storm Series

     | 4,375 views

    We are to walk by faith not sight. Of course you can’t see the outcome of your storm. That would be sight. Why are you so afraid? You have been with Jesus for so long. Do you still have so little faith?

    Are you going through one of life's storms? You need to know if anyone cares. Does Jesus care what happens? If you have visited Israel then no doubt one of your fondest memories of the trip is the Sea of Galilee. This area has so much natural beauty with the fresh water lake surrounded by ...read more

    I'm in His hands. Can you say that? What past shame or guilt is keeping you from being the person God created you to be? Why do you believe the lie that you are defined by your past?

    A Product Of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:18-19AMP What past shame or guilt is keeping you from being the person God created you to be?

    One of the most important things that we can do as Christians is to learn to pray. We need to trust in our Heavenly Father who is good, and loves to give good gifts to His children. There is power in prayer!

    Praying to God as His sons and daughters is an honor. We should beat down the doors to heaven and seek God's will.

    Do you wonder what some of Jesus’ parables mean? Do you ever feel like Jesus’ message is obscure and obtuse? “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God have been given to you, but to them, I speak in parables” (Lk. 8:10). Well, there is not room for misunderstanding ...read more

    This parable is a teaching from God himself to Always Pray and Do Not Lose Heart. We can see this in the: 1) Exhortation to Pray 2) Example of Prayer and 3) Encouragement for Prayer

    There are certain things that you expect in turning up for worship, and others you do not. Everything turned upside down for the membership of Grace Church in San Diego California.

    It’s an understatement to say that we are experiencing a time unlike any other. The way we live, interact with others, do business, work, entertain, and worship has changed and may never be what we once called normal again.

    When everything is going well, pray, because that is when the opposition will assault us, that is when confusion comes, and that is when you will discover the unfinished clutter in your own heart.

    Each fall I bring you messages on prayer. There is a reason for that. In this time of the year we need to be very alert about our devotional life. September is a crucial time to discern important things about prayer. The reason is not hard to find. In September, everything cranks up to a fever ...read more
