Being Godly Citizens 33:34

4d ago33:34

33:34

While one could make a strong argument that our country was founded as a “Christian” nation, one could make a stronger argument that our country was founded as a free nation. And many today, even in our government, are using that freedom to turn away from God. So what do we do as godly citizens?

We Are United in the Mission 39:54

11d ago39:54

39:54

Recent events within our Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) have led us to discussions about roles and titles for women in the church. But we all have roles in the church… and we all should be united in the mission of making disciples.

We Seek Discernment in Application 37:03

26d ago37:03

37:03

Quick review of last week… Talking about our roles in the church, current debate in SBC about roles for women, can women have word “pastor” in job title? Needs to be addressed, but good for all of us to try to better understand all our roles, scriptures tell us what to look for, what’s important… so last week, we began with saying...…

Communion Sunday 16:43

16:43

On Memorial Day, we take time to remember and honor those who gave their lives for us, the people of our country. Would you agree that those who gave their lives would want to see us enjoying our lives? Or do we honor them by living in misery? Sometimes we forget it’s our choice. Which is why some of the greatest teachings in scriptures are REMINDE…

Jesus is The Answer 36:46

2M ago36:46

36:46

Even the most obedient disciples can struggle to answer common questions concerning our faith. “Where did the dinosaurs come from?” “How come there is so much evil in the world?” “How can you prove the Bible is the Word of God?” While there are many great proofs for our faith… it’s still a “faith”, a belief… it’s more than a set of facts. In fact, …

Practice What We Preach 35:23

35:23

We come to a time in the Gospel of Luke where Jesus no longer expects His disciples to just follow… they are now being called to DO the things they’ve seen Jesus do. And He gives them the power to do it! God still expects His disciples today to do the same things… yes, to go out and preach the word… but to also practice what we preach and demonstra…

Give to Those Who Ask 35:23

3M ago35:23

35:23

We often think that when it comes to God, WE have to be the ones to find Him. But today’s story shows that while we may be looking for God, He’s come to look for us too! And He wants to be found. And He wants to give to those who ask Him for help.

Telling What God Has Done For Us 35:35

If we believe God created everything and everyone, just by speaking, then is it reasonable to believe that God has ALL THE POWER THERE IS? If so, then we could also assume He doesn’t need our help. But we see in the scriptures when Jesus healed people, He didn’t just speak and heal everyone. He healed individuals. Because those individuals then wen…

Even The Ones We Don’t See 24:04

“He Is Risen!” “He is Risen Indeed!” This is a traditional Christian greeting goes back well over a thousand years, even quite possibly among the first generations of Christ followers. Today, we continue to proclaim this because this is THE foundation of our faith.

We all know that God loves everyone. But we can often find ourselves trying to add exceptions to God’s love, things like we’ve been seeing in the Gospel of Luke like “Yes, but not those with leprosy… not the tax collectors… not on the Sabbath… not those who hate us…” This week, we see a “sinful woman”, and how a religious man sees her and how God s…

More Than You Know 32:41

4M ago32:41

We believe God loves us, even say “more than you know”… But God loves us differently than we love each other. Believe it or not, Luke 7:18-28 describes God’s love.

Even Gentiles 36:36

So That You May Know 37:13

It is appropriate to refer to our belief in Jesus as a “faith”. And the Bible defines “faith” as being based in what we hope for but cannot see (Hebrews 11:1). But our faith is still based on facts. The first generation of believers “knew”, because they saw Jesus with their own eyes. But what about...…
