Faith Hope & Love are three great foundation stones of the Christian life. They were spoken about frequently by Jesus and his disciples, the greatest example of these virtues can be seen in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God is ‘Love’, we should love one another as he has loved us…

1. Real hope is hungry to be holy (vs. 3, 5-7). 2. Real hope refuses to be satisfied with sin (vs. 4, 8). 3. Real hope is secure in the Savior (vs. 9). 4. Real hope is led by love (vs. 10).

He fed them, and then returned to Capernaum supernaturally walking on the water to meet…

Since our final inheritance is certain, secured by God himself, we can be marked by unwavering hope through faith in Christ.

Lord, Do It Again 32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and…

Failures Why is failure an area of life so hard for us to fight through? How do you get back up after falling down in your spiritual commitments?

Charles Spurgeon once said: A little faith will bring your soul to heaven; a great faith will bring heaven to your soul. —Spurgeon And that is what we are finding in the book of Romans.

Turn to 1 Peter 1 There seems to be a perception about God and the Church in our society - that God and the Church exist primarily to fix problems. “If God’s is so powerful, and He can fix all my problems, then He should fix all my problems and the problems of the world” - or so goes the idea. Of course…

Isaiah 42:1-9 --The Perfect Gift of Hope Intro Hopelessness is a reality for much of our world. We look around and there is war, disease, depression, and despair.

There are two types of people when it comes to facing the darkness of life, or midnight of life—the owls and the roosters. The owl type persons would say, the night is dark and it will only become darker; there will never be light again. The rooster type persons always look for the crack of dawn. The darker the night is, the more expectant they are for the dawn. They want to be the first to announce to the whole world that the morning has come with a loud and long cockcrow. What type of person are you? An owl or a rooster? Let's see what Jesus teaches us about this subject.

2 Samuel 9:1-13 "Then David said, 'Is there yet anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?' [2] Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, 'Are you Ziba?' And he said, 'I am your servant.'…

Kingdom Parables of Value

Our Christ, who established all proper boundaries, came to us to destroy the boundaries which we have created. We have, and continue, to build boundaries that we ourselves cannot overcome and it has taken the very God of all things to do so. Through our choices, we determine that some humans are worth less than others, creating barriers of racism, classism and hierarchies of value that divide and destroy. By our careless actions, we establish hollow religion which, rather than drawing us to God, actually turns us from true relationship with Him! By our sin, we invited the barrier of death into all mankind.

Why did God bring our soul out of prison? Because he loved us. The love of God is an everlasting Love.

Evangelism 101 WHY???
