John 15:13-15 God wants to be your friend. He created you with free will and the ability to hear His voice and speak to Him. His desire is to walk and talk with you in the cool of the day. He wants to restore the sort of relationship you were created for. The sort of relationship Adam and Eve had before the Fall. He even went to the Cross for His friends so we could have this relationship.

John 10:1-16 Jesus said, “"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me (John 10:27). I have learned that God still speaks today, and that communicating with God is at the heart of the personal relationship He wants to have with each of us, and that deep down each of us longs to have with Him. This is an introduction to a series of messages on hearing God today.

Luke 11:1-13 Jesus’ teaching to us in Luke 11:1-13 can be summed up in three words: Identity, Priority and Trust.

Acts 2:1-21 On the Day of Pentecost, we see what can happen when the Body of Christ is of one accord.

John 17:21 Our purpose, as believers in Jesus Christ, is not to save the world, nor is it to change the world or transform it. Our job, above all, is to bring the world to an awareness of Who He is, and when men and women come to that awareness they will do one of two things: Either they will accept Him and be saved, or they will reject him and continue in the lost condition in which the whole wor...

1John 4:7-11 Today we’re going to wrap up our looking at the question, “Why would a loving God send anyone to hell?”

Romans 1:16-20 God put eternity in your heart and makes Himself known through His creation so you would look for Him, and His Word says if you look for Him, you'll find Him, because he's not far from each of us.

Exodus 33:18-19 When Adam and Eve sinned, God drove them out of the Garden of Eden. Many use this account as a basis for questioning the goodness of God, holding that He just got mad and drove them out in a fit of anger as punishment for disobeying Him. However, when you take this incident in context with the whole Bible, and in light of God’s goodness, you can begin to understand not only the rea...

John 3:16-21 Jesus has told us to take this Good News into all the world. That means to everybody. We have Good News for the world: “Nobody has to go to hell!”

Ephesians 2:1-10 In this Easter season we celebrate the fact that Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins, and rose from the dead to offer you eternal life. Because He did that, we have a choice, and that’s what this message is about. Where you spend eternity is your choice, and how you spend eternity is your choice

Luke 24:1-12 As Peter left the empty tomb Easter morning, he was amazed. There are three amazing things that are ours all because of Easter: 1. Our sins are forgiven! 2. We don’t have to fear death! 3. We are going to live forever!

Mark 14:1-11, John 12:1-11 Mary’s hopes, dreams, and security were all tied to this alabaster box that she broke open and anointed Jesus with. In anointing Jesus with this valuable, fragrant perfume, Mary gave her all. When Jesus’ body was broken and His blood poured out at Calvary, He gave us His all. That was His alabaster box. What’s yours? I saw a prayer the other day that pretty well sums up...

1 John 3:2-3 It’s Spring, and time for Spring Cleaning. As the weather warms and new life springs forth, we are moved to start cleaning, aren’t we? Coincidentally, it’s also the season of Lent when we are called to examine our hearts and see if any cleaning is needed there as well. In today’s message we discuss what it means to be pure in heart and how we become persons whose hearts are pure, and...

2 Corinthians 5:21 “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). In these days of tremendous theological confusion, it is vitally important that the church of Jesus Christ be firmly settled on the Gospel message. Our only message is contained in these 23 words found in 2 Corinthians 5:21. God has not commissioned us wi...

Mark 9:38-50 Many of us, in looking back, can identify people who have been stumbling blocks in so many ways. In fact, it seems that many make a career out of pinpointing those people who have been stumbling blocks in their lives. There are many others who have latched onto this and make their living helping people find those in their past they can blame for their problems, insufficiencies, addict...

Luke 9:23-27 What greater sacrifice could you give this Lent than your self-centeredness? From what I read in the Bible, this is the greatest sacrificial gift you can give to the Lord.

Luke 4:1-13 The usual Lenten message about temptation goes like this: “Jesus was tempted. He didn’t give in to temptation. Be like Jesus. If you fail, just try harder.” Temptation is not just passing or failing a test. It is about learning about who we really are, and where our personal spiritual growing edge is. During this Lenten season I encourage you to not try to ignore your temptations, but...

Luke 9:28-36 At the end of this time of prayer, Our Father in Heaven spoke, and this is what He said, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him.” When you get alone in prayer, and the Lord draws near, at the end of that time you leave knowing you are loved, and walking in His authority. Brothers and sisters, it just doesn’t get any better than that!

Mark 7:14-23 Jesus says that the things that defile us and make us unclean aren’t outward, but come from the depths of our our hearts, and that changing our actions doesn’t change our hearts. So what can we do to have a heart that is clean and undefiled? In another place He tells us to make the tree good, and then the fruit will be good, that good fruit cannot come from a bad tree. Although we can...

Mark 11:27-33 The chief priests, scribes and elders asked Jesus about the source of His authority for the wrong reason, but it is a very important question that has eternal significance for each of us, both temporally and eternally: “Where does the authority of Jesus come from? From God, or from men?”

Mark 6:52 We often think of a hardened heart as one that is opposed to God or the things of God. However, as we see the Apostles struggle with who Jesus is, we see something else. A hardened, or calloused heart may just be oblivious to the things of God. The Apostles had already made up their minds about Who Jesus was, and what they expected from Him. Because of that, they couldn’t see Him for Who...

Mark 6:1-6 Charles Spurgeon once said, “We often talk of unbelief as if it were an affliction to be pitied instead of a crime to be condemned.” Henry Drummond’s words reiterate this when he states, “Christ never failed to distinguish between doubt and unbelief. Doubt is can’t believe. Unbelief is won’t believe. Doubt is honesty. Unbelief is obstinacy. Doubt is looking for light. Unbelief is conten...

John 2:1-11 I have performed hundreds of weddings in my lifetime, and one thing is always the same. Everyone wants the wedding to be perfect, no flaws. People plan, and fret, and cry and all sorts of things, but still, things do go wrong. I have seen wedding rings tied so tightly to a pillow that no one could get them loose. I have seen unity candles that just wouldn’t light. I’ve seen cute little...

John 1:1-18, Hebrews 2:14-18 When you look back over the Bible, throughout the Old and the New Testaments, what you discover about the Incarnation is that: ▪ Christmas is Jesus enduring a human birth so that you and I can have a spiritual birth. ▪ Christmas is Jesus coming to a stable so that one day we can live in a mansion. ▪ Christmas is Jesus having an earthly mother so that we can have a heav...

I find it fascinating that it’s the time we celebrate the Lord’s birth that negative emotions and behaviors seem to surface more than at any other time of the year. I think that this occurs in Christians’ lives because of old habits that haven’t been dealt with, yet. In our Scripture reading today we are told to “put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to...
