Why Are Personal Matters Scripture?

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 19:00:00 EST

Colossians 4:7-18

All Scripture is useful (2 Tim 3:16)... but what about sections like this one where so-and-so greets you, and make sure to great whats-his-name?? Why is this in the holy Word of God? There are a myriad of valuable lesson to be learned if we take the time to investigate. So... lets!

Gods Promise

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 11:00:00 EST

Galatians 3:24-4:7

God made a promise a long time ago. The promise was that He would cure the stubborn, sinful hearts on humanity. He called it the New Covenant. And now, in Jesus Christ, it has been offered to all humanity. Its cost is faith in the work and person of Jesus. It is a life-transforming experience, being worked on by the Holy Spirit.

Representing Jesus

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 19:00:00 EST

Colossians 4:2-6

How can we better represent Jesus? All this book long, we have seen that Jesus is the center of all that we are as humans. He is the pre-eminent one and we are IN Him. Now we come to this important question of being good representatives of Him.

Free at Last

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 11:00:00 EST

Galatians 3:15-29

God has set us free from the Law through Jesus. We are not bound to follow it, but follw the inward working of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. He changes our impulses and motivations and behaviors to do what is right for the right reasons. He makes us truly holy from the inside out, rather than just changing the outward behaviors. What this means, though, regarding the Old Testament 633 laws is this: we are are not required to follow them. We are free at last!

Families Living for Jesus

Sun, 6 Jul 2008 19:00:00 EST

Colossians 3:18-4:1

God has made the family the basic building block of human civilization. How should a fmaily function if it wants to succeed in its goals? What is the purpose and the goals of family life? Lets talk about the family.

Begun and Perfected by Faith

Sun, 6 Jul 2008 11:00:00 EST

Galatians 3:1-14

The fact is, not only are we saved apart from works, we are also perfected apart from works. It sounds strange at first, but it is true. We do not become holy by keeping a set of rules, but rather, by believing in Jesus and living like Him. The end result is that we do end up doing much of the same behaviors as those that wantto keep rules, but the core and the motivation are so very different.

In Christ, We Are All Right

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 11:00:00 EST

Galatians 2:16-21

This is the greatest news you will ever hear! How can God declare you and I innocent? We have all done wrong. We are not holy. Why should we be let in to heaven? Not by doing good, because all our good is half-hearted and our present good does not undo our past bad. Our innocent verdict comes when Jesus Christ takes away our guilt and sin by taking it upon Himself. In Christ, we are all right.

Beliefs Change Behavior

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 19:00:00 EST

Colossians 3:1-17

We do not persue holiness out of aspiration to deserve the favor of God. We do not pursue it out of checklisting legalism. We persue holiness as a response to all that God has done and is doing for us.

In Christ, We Are One

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 11:00:00 EST

Galatians 2:11-16

All Christians, Jew, Gentile, Male, Female, White, Black, English, Spanish, are all one in Christ. It is not our nationality or ethnic values or traditions or quote-unquote old life can unite in the same way that Christ does.

The Subtle Seduction of Religion

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 19:00:00 EST

Colossians 2:16-23

Because we need to stay rooted in Christ, we should not let anyone judge us on anything but His gift of righteousness to us. No one should judge us as it pertains to made up rules and morals, only on what Christ has done for us.

The Same Good News (2)

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 11:00:00 EST

Galatians 2:1-10

It is so unique being part of the Diverse Body of Christ. There are so many ways to be used of God in this fallen world. He has equipped us all uniquely. It is affirming to come to these great examples in the Scripture that remind us that having a niche ministry is okay; we all fit in to the grand scheme of God to make this world His kingdom.

Stay Rooted in Christ

Sun, 8 Jun 2008 19:00:00 EST

Colossians 2:1-15

Why are we so prone to put our relationship with Christ on hold momentarily for the passing pleasure of sin? We will see that Christ and He alone is the motivation for staying rooted. Too often people will cite reasons for being faithful like: be good, it would be a shame, you would lose your crown, etc. None of these ever work because at the end of it all, they are shallow, man-centered reasons for maintaining faithfulness. In this text we see that Christ alone is our mooring, our root, our glory.

The Same Good News (1)

Sun, 8 Jun 2008 11:00:00 EST

Galatians 1:11-2:10

Paul defends the message of Jesus against any attacks. First he illustrates that it is a Divine message and does not have its origin in human thinking. Then he shows that indeed, all Christians agree on the content of that message. It is only after fourteen years of ministry in Gentile regions of the Roman Empire that Paul confers with the apostles of Jesus. When he does initiate contact with them, they all find that it is the same message spread by both groups to all the world. We share the same message with all true believers.

On Mission with Jesus

Sun, 1 Jun 2008 19:00:00 EST

Colossians 1:23-29

Paul describes his role in Christian ministry, that he is on mission with Jesus. In fact, as we serve in our varying capacities, we really are serving in the strength and wisdom that Jesus provides to us. NOTE: lightning fried the wireless mic half way thru the sermon :-(

Contend for the Faith

Sun, 1 Jun 2008 11:00:00 EST

Galatians 1:6-10

Paul calls the church out on the carpet for their apparent rejection of the real Gospel. Why had they turned aside? To rely on their own worth and work rather than on Christ alone. Let us inspect ourselves and ask why we have a standing before God. Let us be diligent to stand in His grace alone. Let us also be diligent to stand up for the faith in view of all its adversaries.

The Supremacy of Christ

Sun, 25 May 2008 19:00:00 EST

Colossians 1:12-23

In this section, Paul illusrates why Jesus alone is the focal point of our Faith. It is not His sacrifice plus anything, but He and He alone which accomplishes all that is necessary for my salvation. He is the supreme authority of all existence.

Issues in Galatia

Sun, 25 May 2008 11:00:00 EST

Galatians 1:1-7

The introduction to the themes in the letter of Paul to the churches of Galatia. Essentially, this region contained a mix of Jews who turn to Christ and Gentiles who turned to Christ. Now that they had to live and worship together, some issues of culture and Biblical application. Over the next few months, we will look at the deep, needful content of Galatians.

Praying for Strangers

Sun, 18 May 2008 19:00:00 EST

Colossians 1:1-12

We begin Life in Christ, our study of Colossians with Pauls prayer for an unknown group of people. He never met them, he only heard about them thru a church planter mentored by Paul, namely Epaphras. We end our time talking about our prayer life. Are we so diligent in prayer for those weve never met?

The Contagious Godliness of a Christian Woman

Sun, 11 May 2008 11:00:00 EST

1 Peter 3:1-9

Women exert great influence within their families and with their husbands. We can all think of women who use their abilities to boss around, but can we think of a godly woman who uses her influence to deepen the spiritual maturity of her family? Lets encourage our ladies with a recentering on their high calling!

On Mission in Camden

Sun, 4 May 2008 11:00:00 EST

1 Thessalonians 1

Because we have an amazing God, we also have an amazing mission. Our mission is to make Him known. How can we do this as part of the vision for our church?

Spirit of Assurance

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 19:00:00 EST

Romans 8:14-17

The Holy Spirit resides in all believers and continually assures them that they are born again and on their way to heaven. He does this in a variety of ways that we will look at tonight. Be encouraged, if you have the Son, you have life!

What Renews You About God?

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 11:00:00 EST

Isaiah 40

What is it about God that renews your strength and spurs you on to live for Him?

The Spirit Helps as We Read the Word

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 19:00:00 EST

John 14:26, John 16:13, 1 John 2:26-27

The believer is not left with his own mental abilities to understand and use the Scriptures. The Spirit is the gift of God who guides us into the truth. We do not need teachers to help us, we already have the Spirit to help us.

Hope for the Family

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 11:00:00 EST

Genesis 2:18-25

Pastor Dan Allen, director of Pinebrook Bible Conference in Stroudsburg PA, brings a message of encouragement and challenge for families.

The Holyfying Spirit

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 19:00:00 EST

How does the Spirit make us more like Jesus?

What Bothers You in His Word?

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 11:00:00 EST

Isaiah 45, Romans 9:6-16, 1 Timothy 2:9-15, 2 Peter 3:3-13

What kind of question is that? We arent supposed to be bothered by anything in the Bible! And therein lies the significance of the question... I want our people to have faith in God, but so often they have real doubts about something in the Word that never get addressed because the Church has created a climate in which we cannot ask these questions. So I stepped out on a limb and asked people for their honest, heart-felt responses to this question. Hopefully we can begin to resolve some of the tension. More importantly, I hope we can set a model for how we resolve any tension.

Spirit: Guide in Gods Will

Sun, 6 Apr 2008 19:00:00 EST

Romans 8:5,12-16,26-27

How do we know what God wants us to do? The Spirit guides us to accomplish Gods desires. Of central importance is holiness... God want holiness in our lives. But also, God has individual jobs for you and me to do. it is the Spirit that teaches us what to do for the kingdom of God.

What Baffles You About God?

Sun, 6 Apr 2008 11:00:00 EST

John 1:1-18

What baffles, dumb-founds, humbles us about our God? Things that Christians accept but always wonder about... things that you wondered about on the survey... The problem of evil, the incarnation, and atonement. We, in childlike faith, need to be curious, searching for answers, hungry to grow, and quick to be amazed at our Amazing God!

The Indwelling Spirit

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:00:00 EST

John 7:37-39

We begin a subsection on the work of the Spirit in believers as part of our study on God, the Holy Spirit. We beign by talking about the fact the Spirit of God dwells in the hearts of all true believers. We will look also at the change from the Old to New Covenants as it pertains the role of the Spirit.

What Excites You About God?

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 11:00:00 EST

Ephesians 3:12-21

If God really is amazing, that should excite us, stir our emotions, and motivate us to live for Him. SO, what excites YOU about God?

Just As He Said

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:00:00 EST

Luke 24:1-12

When the disciples hear that Jesus rose from the dead, their reaction is suprise and disbelief. The angels and Jesus Himself remind them that He had been saying all along His earthly ministry that He would be rejected, killed, and then rise from the dead. It should not be a suprise.

The Holy Spirit in the Sacrificial Death of Jesus

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:00:00 EST

Hebrews 9:13-14

The text says that Jesus offered Himself, through the Eternal Spirit, to God. What or who is this Eternal Spirit? Is it the Holy Spirit? Is it the spirit/soul of Jesus? If the Holy Spirit, what role did He have in the death of Jesus? How does the Spirit guide us to ministry?

Entering the Kingdom

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 11:00:00 EST

Revelation 21:1-12

Concluding our journey of faith is the resurrection when we will live with God in the New Jerusalem. The journey in this life is different for all Christs followers, but all of us have the same great hope of eternal life.

The Role of Holy Spirit toward Unbelievers

Sun, 9 Mar 2008 19:00:00 EST

John 16:7-11

What does the Holy Spirit do in the lives of unbelievers? He convicts of sin and compels them to be saved by regenerating their souls from spiritual death.

Making the Most Out of Church

Sun, 9 Mar 2008 11:00:00 EST

Hebrews 10:19-31

What is the point of Church? How does life within the Church relate to your personal journey of faith with God? Is it a help or a hidnrance? Let us use church for all it is worth.

Who Is the Spirit?

Sun, 2 Mar 2008 19:00:00 EST

Is the Spirit God or just some force that God exudes? Why do Christians believe that the Spirit is God? What is the Spirit like? What does He do?

When I Am Off the Path

Sun, 2 Mar 2008 11:00:00 EST

Hebrews 5:11-6:12

When I find myself stagnating in the faith, what do I do? How do I revitalize the faith? How to I restore the joy of His salvation? Lets talk about restoration.

Who is the Greatest?

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 19:00:00 EST

Luke 22:24-30

I am the best! Pretty arrogant, right?!? Twice in Luke, the disciples got into this fight. When we compare ourselves to one another, we take our eyes of Christ who truly is the greatest.

Ten Lepers

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:00:00 EST

Luke 17:11-21

Jesus rescues ten leprous men, but only one returns in gratitude. Imagine being healed from an incurable disease and not thanking your physician! Yet only one was thankful. So we see that the offer of Good News is embraced by very few.

Growing Strength

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 11:00:00 EST

Joshua 1:1-11

Mind, Heart, and now Strength... let us love God with all the energy and strength we have. Let us use our lives to minister to others for the sake of Jesus and His Church.

Blind Man

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 19:00:00 EST

John 9

This episode features a conversation with Jesus and His disciples about chronic medical disease, the healing of a blind man, the belief of that man and the unbelief of the religious system, and the welcoming in to a whole new community known as the Church out of ones old belief system.

Growing the Heart

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 11:00:00 EST

Deuteronomy 6:5-9

Today we discuss loving God with all our heart. As the mind engages the real and tangible facts of the Faith, the heart engages the equally real and tangible emotions of the Faith. Are you too heavy on the facts side? Begin to grow your heart. God is seeking out worshippers who worship Him in spirit and truth.

Growing the Mind

Sun, 3 Feb 2008 11:00:00 EST

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

We need to love God with all our mind. So if we want to love God deeper, we need to grow the mid. Lets talk about growing the mind.

The Pitfall of Persecution

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 11:00:00 EST

Matthew 13:18-23, Hebrews 11:23-29

We know pleasure in itself is not wrong because Jesus then balances on the one hand pleasure is a pitfall with on the other hand persecution is a pitfall. So it is not the thing in itself that is wrong, but it is our propensity to buckle under the lure of pleasure or the taunt of persecution. Lets talk about standing firm and choosing to endure.

The Adultress

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 19:00:00 EST

John 8:1-12

This conversation that Jesus has is with a woman caught in the act of adultery and her accusers. This encounter teaches us the compassion of Christ, the seriousness of our sin, and the place where judgment ought to begin, namely, with ourselves.

The Pitfall of Pleasure

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 11:00:00 EST

Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23

One of the chief methods that Satan uses to distract Christians from developing a deep and sustaining friendship with God is the distraction of pleasure. No pleasure is in and of itself sinful, for God made all things for our enjoyment and we should receive it with thanksgiving, but if we live a life filled with chasing the next pleasure, then we are distracting ourselves. Find what distracts you and discard it!

The Centurion

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 19:00:00 EST

Luke 7:1-10

This conversation that Jesus has with a centurion soldier shows us what kind of character Jesus is looking for in us. Two things about this centurion: humility and faith. Humility... I am not worthy for Jesus to come to me. Faith... Jesus can say the word and it will be done. Let us have humility and faith in our lives.

Toolbox for the Journey

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 11:00:00 EST

2 Timothy 3:12-17, Ephesians 6:18-20

We all know the sorts of things that go in a handmans toolbox... but what sorts of tools go into our spiritual toolbox? What are the essentials for our spiritual journey with God through this life? The Word, Prayer, Advisors, and Willingness.

Beginning the Journey

Sun, 6 Jan 2008 11:00:00 EST

Romans 3:23, 5:8, 6:23, 10:9

We will begin the journey at the beginning: how does someone begin a journey of faith? At the cross of Jesus. In this series, we are going to talk about the journey of faith we are on with God. Building friendship with Him, developing character, the toolbox for a life of faith, the common pitfalls to faith are all topics we will look at together.

The Woman at the Well

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 19:00:00 EST

John 4

The Samaritan woman at the well is an interesting companion for this conversation with Jesus. She is blunt, she changes subjects, Jesus changes subjects, yet He always steers the discussion to the issues He wants her to grapple with. Content-wise, He shows His offer of living water (i.e. eternal life), then her need of this water (because of her messed up, sinful life) and finally brings her to purpose for humanity (to enter a friendship with God in worship based upon both spirit and truth.

Achieving Gods Dreams

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 11:00:00 EST

Psalm 37:1-9, 23-28

We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. And since He created us to do good in this world for His sake, we need to come to our great God and ask a simple statement: here I am, send me. What can I do for God this year? What dreams, hopes, plans does He have for me that I can carry out for Him?

What Did You Get Jesus for Christmas?

Sun, 24 Dec 2007 19:00:00 EST

Matthew 2:1-12

The wisemen gave their treasure, the shepherds gave their time, the parents gave their dignity, the cows gave their supper. But what did you get Jesus for Christmas? There is an ancient poem that goes What can I give Him as poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, Id give Him a lamb. If I were a wiseman, Id do my part. What can I give Him? Ill give Him my heart.

The Prophecy of Zecharias

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 19:00:00 EST

Luke 1:60-78

Zecharias is the father of John the Baptist. According to Luke, he was a major player in the larger Christmas event. Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent six months at his house during her pregnancy. When John was born, Zecharias proclaimed a prophecy about the future ministries of Jesus and John and their inter-connectedness in Old Testament prophecies.

Malachi the Prophet

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 11:00:00 EST

Malachi 3:1-3, 4:1-6

Malachi prophesies the coming Messiah and prepares the people of God to receive Him. He illustrates the desire God has to be with His people and the necessity to refine their character in preparation for receiving Him.

Rich Young Ruler

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 19:00:00 EST

Mark 10:17-30

This conversation is between Jesus and a rich young man who wnated to know how to inherit eternal life. This is the most important question in the universe. The answer is unexpected and unsatisfying to this man.

Haggai the Prophet

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 11:00:00 EST

Haggai 2:1-9

Haggai reminds the restored nation of Israel that sin, punishment, repentance, and restoration do not make people junk to God. When God restores repentant sinners, He brings them back to full fellowship with Him. The symbol of this principle is the Temple that Ezra, Zerubbabel, and Haggai helped to rebuild after exile in Babylon.

Nicodemus and Jesus

Sun, 9 Dec 2007 19:00:00 EST

John 2:23-3:22

Nicodemus is a religious leader. He likes a lot of what Jesus is saying but he is also confused by a lot of what Jesus is saying. So he met Jesus by night to go over His message.

Habakkuk the Prophet

Sun, 25 Nov 2007 11:00:00 EST

Habakkuk 1

While Jeremiah questioned God in a positive way, Habakkuk questioned God with his fist raised up at heaven. Why are You doing this to us? Why are You using wicked people to judge our little sin? Why? Why? Why? Maybe you have asked God why with little or no faith. Lets talk about Why God?

Jeremiah the Prophet

Sun, 11 Nov 2007 11:00:00 EST

Lamentations 1:1-4, 3:1-3, 3:16-27, 3:31-33

Jeremiah the weaping prophet isnt afraid to bear his soul and feelings to God. God is pictured as a just discipling but loving and restoring Father. Lets dig in to Jeremiah and Lamentations.

Hosea the Prophet

Sun, 4 Nov 2007 11:00:00 EST

Hosea 1, 3

Hosea had a nitch ministry. God called him to marry a prostitute. And when that woman had an itch, God called him to chase after her and welcome her back time after time. Why? To exemplify what God goes through with His faithless people. The question becomes for us: how faithful are we to our great God?

Jonah the Prophet

Sun, 28 Oct 2007 11:00:00 EST

Jonah 1

Jonah: was he a hero, a villain, or something in between? In this message, we look at the life and times of Jonah to discover the motives that drove his decisions. We uncover a glimpse of God and His great plan of redemption for the world.

Closing Reminders

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 16

Paul wraps up his first letter to the Church at Corinth with four reminders. He reminds them to give, to pray for his travels, to respect their leaders, and to be empowered by the core of the faith (fellowship, love for Christ, expect His return, and filled with His grace).

The Reality of the Resurrection

Sun, 14 Oct 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 15:1-6, 12-17, 20-26, 50-58

We have gone over this text mnay times on Easter. Now all we want to do is by way of reminder, encourage each other with the hope we have because Jesus rose we will too.

Using Your Gift to Its Full Potential, Parts 2-3

Sun, 7 Oct 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 14:20-40

Were picking up where we left off with using our gifts to the fullest potential. Lets dig in to the Word of God together!

Using Your Gift to Its Full Potential, Part 1

Sun, 30 Sep 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 14

Yes, all christians have spiritual gifts. Now what? How can we be our best at that gift? How can we be used of God in the most effective way? Lets look at the answer together!

How to Use the Gifts of the Spirit

Sun, 23 Sep 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 13

What motivation should be the one to drive us to minister? Love. Love for God love for others. Any other motivation will reap no reward. It is the motive of love which makes us like God, who in love went to the cross for our souls.

What Are the Gifts?

Sun, 16 Sep 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 12:8-10, 28-30

Lets look at the spiritual gifts together. The major texts in the NT are 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, Ephesians 4, and 1 Peter 4.

Order in Ministering Together

Sun, 9 Sep 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 12

People have a problem being different.. ever notice that? In the Church, it is often difficult dealing with people with different passions, interests, ministries, abilities, and even outlooks on life. How can we embrace the comlexity of the household of God? By looking at the Church through Gods eyes. it is He who made us so very different as an expression of His creativity and complex will.

Order at the Lords Supper

Sun, 2 Sep 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 11:17-34

Paul gives Gods counsel for order at the communion table. Divisions within the church = not real communion.

Roles of Men and Women

Sun, 26 Aug 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 11:1-16

The culture and the Church have terribly redifned the roles of men and women. In this message, we look at the roles God wants for husbands and wives within the worship gathering and church gatherings in general.

Idols are Nothing

Sun, 19 Aug 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 10:16-33

In our last study of Christian Liberty, Paul concludes warning of the dangers of taking liberty beyond proper use and reminding us of the responsibility within our liberty.

Flee Idolatry

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 10:1-15

Paul turns his attention from the freedom we have in our decision making to the dangers of THE LINE. We all know the line... that line between sin and holy. Legalists always move that line beyond the Scriptures and Paul doesnt want that for us, but he also recognizes that when we dance on that line, we can easily fall over. Let us be quick to flee idolatry.

All You Can

Sun, 5 Aug 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 9:19-27

The central message of Christian liberty is this passage. Essentially, God asks us to choose: live your life fulfilling all your desires or surrender your time and resources... your liberty for the benefit of others in your life. Christ is the prime example of this lifestyle of surrender. Paul follows in those footsteps. Your pastors and elders do there best to practice a Christ-like lifestyle. Where are you on the pursuit of happiness?

Pastor: Example of Liberty

Sun, 29 Jul 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 9:1-19

Paul illustrates his concept of Christian liberty with a real-life example: his life. Despite his freedom to do many things with his life, he surrendered those freedoms in order to use his time and resources for the benefit of others around him. He is not saying the pastor must surrender all rights, but rather, he is saying that he is setting an example for all Christians to follow his lifestyle.

Living in the World

Sun, 22 Jul 2007 11:00:00 EST

1 Corinthians 8

It is so easy to invent a religion that appears to avoid sin, but genuine Christianity has very little rules. What Jesus teaches instead of rules is principles that help us to make wise decisions regarding the opportunities we have in life. In the church of Corinth, Paul teaches on eating meat offered to idols. Instead of making rules, he teaches the disciples to live free and act responsibly.

The Disciples

Sun, 15 Jul 2007 11:00:00 EST

John 1:35-46

Jesus had twelve disciples. Some we know a lot about. Some we know little about. Some we know nothing about. Philip was one disciple that we know little about, but the encounters he had with Jesus in the gospel of John were extremely interesting and probably a lot like the encounters we have had with Him.

Great Faith

Sun, 8 Jul 2007 11:00:00 EST

Luke 7:1-10

We should have Great Faith in the One that has the authority.

America: Land of Liberty

Sun, 1 Jul 2007 11:00:00 EST

Isaiah 33:17-24

America was founded on the principles of liberty and just treatment of all citizens. These are not philosophical concepts, on the contrary, they originate from the heart of God as communicated in the Holy Scriptures. Let us examine the statments and actions of our founding fathers and see how they viewed our God.

Gods Diverse Callings

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 11:00:00 EST
