Prayer As we continue this week making our way through the 1st chapter of the gospel of John, …we come today to - basically - the second part to last week’s sermon... Last week we looked at John the Baptist being sent BY GOD to water baptize... with the purpose of REVEALING Jesus to Israel... And what…

Today we start the 3 topics that Jesus discusses as our Christian service to God; giving, prayer and fasting. Jesus explains that these things inthemselves are not bad at all in fact what we should do. The issue is that we often do the right things but with the wrong motives. It goes back to the heart. Won't you prepare your heart in prayer before you listen today? May the Lord speak to you today as you listen!

Just in case you were not with us last week, I’m very excited about this new year. In 2019 we are going to journey all the way through the Bible together.

Palm Sunday Foretold by the Prophets 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 22 The stone which the builders rejected…

Where do we start? 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever.

Jesus’ conversation with a rich young ruler.

How long does it take to build a solid trusting relationship with someone? Does it take a little amount of time or a lot of time? What if I told you that you had a half hour to get to know a complete stranger and that after that half hour you would be required to make a decision about whether or not…

Francis Foulkes: “The duties of the pastor (literally ‘shepherd’) are to feed the flock with spiritual food and to see that they are protected from spiritual danger.” When I became the pastor of our church (1, 664 days ago), one of the most important goals in my life was to prayerfully identify God’s…

Pastor Chuck starts a new sermon series about the “Sermon on the Mount”. He describes how Jesus uses “The Beatitudes” help to us redefine what God wants us to admire in the world. Pastor Chuck provides a unique concept for us to use the Beatitudes as “not the attitudes we should have, but the attitudes we should be.” This week, Pastor Chuck’s topic is “Blessed are the Poor in Spirit.” Pastor Chuck describes how being “blessed” is a continuous spiritual condition of spiritual prosperity (being rich in spirit), contentment, and satisfaction in your life, not a physical feeling or state of physical material possession. Pastor Chuck will explain “one who is ‘poor in spirit’ has humbly recognized they have a deep need for God because they know they lack His Holiness and have a need for His forgiveness, grace, and mercy, and need Him as a Savior.” Pastor Chuck encourages us to become more aware of our desperate everyday need for God and to invite Him into our lives more every day.

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. We live in a culture that says everything is ok. You can do anything… there are…

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? Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee,…

As we begin this morning, I realize that we’re going to be speaking of and looking at Bible prophecy and that some may “tune me out” and be quick to say, “ Bible Prophecy is too difficult to understand .” However, I would like to point out what is recorded for us in vs. 16: So he told me, and made me…

Who are you? is the question. And until we understand both answers to that question our life will be stunted, frustrated, and dull. Both answers you say? Yes, both answers. One of them applies to ourselves, and one of them applies to the one we are addressing. If we do not understand who we are and if…

Message today is How to Change the World in One Easy Lesson. I believe Jesus wants us to change the World. Look at the sermon on the Mount. Jesus is teaching the Sermon on the Mount in Matt 5-7 .
