    Getting Into The Weeds Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 18, 2010
     | 4,555 views

    Why does evil exist in the world and what are we to do about it? Jesus tells a good story and has some sober advice as we look at ourselves - are we weeds or wheat?

    Today we are going to talk about three parables that give us an idea of the effect of the gospel in the world. Last time we looked at the parable of the sower, which describes how the individual is or is not open to the gospel. Now we turn outward to look at how the gospel spreads. First century ...read more

    The thought and desire to be a difference-maker is hardwired into us by our Creator. God wants us to make a difference wherever we are. That’s why, when we do, there is such a huge payoff.

    Hey, have you ever just kind of stopped and thought or had the thought go through your mind...I wonder if my life really makes a difference? I wonder if what I do really matters. You know, usually it’s on a birthday that we have those thoughts, isn’t it? Like when you turn the big 3-0, or 4-0, or ...read more

     | 7,264 views

    Part 3 in series The Three Gifts. Scripture records that the third gift given to Jesus by the Magi was myrrh – a gift given to one who was to die. Why was Jesus given this gift at such a young age?

    The Gift of Myrrh The Three Gifts, prt. 3 Wildwind Community Church David Flowers December 13, 2008 Matthew 2:11 (NRSV) 11 On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage.

    Jesus came to bring good news of great joy for everyone. Why don’t more people experience the joy of the Lord. How can we become rewired for joy at this Christmas season?

    Behold The Lamb Of God Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,301 views

    Why is the Apostle John the only Gospel writer to record the words of John the Baptist referring to Jesus as the Lamb of God? We will discover the answer to that question in this topical message titled Behold the Lamb of God.

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ The words that John the Baptist chose to describe Jesus are very interesting. As a matter of fact, Jesus is only specifically called the Lamb of God twice in the whole Bible—once here and once a few verses later in verse 36. There is no doubt that John the ...read more

    Story sermon: a child watches her father being taken away charged with being disorderly, feels guilty, but does not understand why all the others in her family "receive him not."

    No Scripture is more loved and more often quoted than the Gospel of John, chapter 3, verses 16 and 17. If you want to put: the good news in miniature, there it is. One sentence encompassing the heart of the good news. So as we cane to the Advent season, during which we shall remember the Lord’s ...read more

    From the restricted worship of the Old Covenant to the all encompassing love and universal saving grace of Jesus, the writer to the Hebrews shows why Jesus is able to offer Limitless Love to a lost and dying world.

    Why waste time with negative pepole who are never going to make much progress? Because we follow a shepherd who will leave the ninety-nine grazing to pursue one lost sheep....

    One of the things I hear a lot in the business world is that if you want to be successful, you need to hang around successful people.

    Mothers Are Special

     | 7,650 views

    Why did Moses take the position that he did in choosing to suffer with God’s people rather than being identified with his step parents? It had to be through the influence of his mother.

    Mothers Are Special ILL. Erma Bombeck wrote a column telling of God in the act of creating mothers. She wrote that on the day God created mothers He had already worked long overtime. And an angel said to Him, "Lord, you sure are spending a lot of time on this one." The Lord turned & said, ...read more

    Jesus Chilling Series

    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,086 views

    Jesus understood when, how, and why to "chill": when His emotional energies had been drained; how to back off the need to be needed; and for the purpose of providing a still point of healing for others.

    If there is any one thing that distinguishes my generation and later generations, like the Gen-xers, it is that we have totally different attitudes about work and play. We are light years apart about what we expect from work or what we want from play. People born before and during the ...read more

     | 9,873 views

    Why do the angels in heaven rejoice when lost people get found? It is because they see what we have been saved from and what we have been saved to.

    LOST AND FOUND In July of 2002 nine miners were trapped in Quecreek, Pa when mine shafts collapsed due to floodwater. The men were trapping in a pocket of air 244 feet down in the 50-degree cold waters. The miners gasped for air as floodwater rose to their chins. They tied themselves together ...read more
