10/23/2011 Come and Go (part 7) Come to You Matthew 14:28-31 - Twelve disciples watched Jesus walk to them on water in the middle of the night. Eleven remained in the boat, while one had the courage to say, "I want to walk to you on the water." Peter's faith failed him, but - for a while - he walked on water.

10/16/2011 Come and Go (part 6) Come after Me Matthew 16:24-28 - Peter acknowledged that Jesus was Lord, but he didn't understand what that would mean. Was he ready and willing to follow Jesus?

10/09/2011 Come and Go (part 4) Go and Do Likewise Who is my neighbor? What a great lesson we learn from the Good Samaritan! His example is so powerful it is a name we use today to describe what he did.

10/09/2011 Come and Go (part 3) Go and Tell In Mark 5, Jesus crossed a lake, apparently for no other purpose than to see one man. How Jesus found him - and how Jesus left him - is an amazing story. When the man wanted to follow Jesus - go with him - Jesus encouraged him to, "Go and Tell."

10/02/2011 Come and Go (part 2) Go and Learn Religious leaders couldn't believe that Jesus would sit down and eat with tax collectors and sinners. There was a great lesson to be found in their criticism. Jesus told them to, "Go and learn."

12/04/2011 Not a Fan (part 11) Total Surrender The rich, young ruler came with a series of questions. What must I do? Which ones? What else do I lack? Jesus answered all his questions, but it was not enough to convince the rich, young ruler to walk away from his wealth. He left Jesus, sad, because he would not surrender everything to Jesus.

12/04/2011 Not a Fan (part 10) Lost that Loving Feeling Scripture uses marriage as one of the great examples to show God's relationship with man and Christ's relationship with the church. One of the problems that the church at Ephesus faced was that they lost their first love.

11/27/2011 Not a Fan (part 9) Follow John 3:16 is one of the most beloved passages in the Bible, but it is just that - it is one verse. John 3:16 talks about the importance of believing. Luke 9:23 is also an important verse in the Bible. It talks about the importance of following.

11/20/2011 Not a Fan (part 7) More than Words Is it faith or works? Bad question. It's not one or the other. It's one and the other. When we follow Jesus, we put words to work. We put faith into action.

11/20/2011 Not a Fan (part 6) More than a Feeling Jesus promised we would never be alone. Even when he ascended to heaven, he left us with the Holy Spirit. What does that mean? What is the Spirit's role in our lives?

11/13/2011 Not a Fan (part 5) The Real One People in Jesus' day looked up to their religious leaders. However, Jesus noticed that what they taught and what they lived were not the same thing. Their hypocrisy kept people from knowing God - seeing him clearly.

11/13/2011 Not a Fan (part 4) One and Only Jesus doesn't want church to be something we do. He doesn't want to be one of a list of priorities in our lives. Jesus wants to be the One and Only in our lives.

11/06/2011 Not a Fan (part 3) She Came in Tears Jesus came to Simon's house for a meal. Based on customs of the day, he would have been considered a poor host. How would a sinful woman treat Jesus?

11/06/2011 Not a Fan (part 2) He Came at Night Nicodemus was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He had a tremendous amount of respect for Jesus. What would Jesus tell this leader when he met with him at night?

08/28/2011 It's Time to Go Back (part 4) to Work We cannot create waves, but - if we are to ride them - we must be prepared and ready for the opportunities when God provides them. We cannot make the church grow, but we must be prepared and ready to serve when the opportunities arise.

08/21/2011 It's Time to Go Back (part 3) to God The younger made a decision to leave home. His decision took him places he thought he'd never go. He did things he thought he'd never do. But he knew the way home. What he did not expect was to be greeted - with open arms - by his Father.

08/14/2011 It's Time to Go Back (part 2) to Church So many people have negative experiences with the church. As a result, some people give up and walk away. Rather than giving up, let's stop to see what God wants the church to be. Christ is the Head, and we are the body.

08/24/2011 Baptism (part 3) In the Name of Jesus Are we baptized because we are saved or to be saved? What is the purpose of baptism? What is the meaning of baptism?

08/17/2011 Baptism (part 2) John's Baptism What was the significance of John's baptism? His ministry had a beginning, a message, and an end.

08/10/2011 Baptism (part 1) Repentance When the crowd heard Peter's sermon, they asked, "What do we do?" Peter's answer was to repent and be baptized. Before we get to baptism, let's consider this question - what does it mean to repent?

08/07/2011 It's Time to Go Back (part 1) to the Bible The Bible is a wonderful book. It contains words and instructions from God. As we read, we learn WHY we read the Bible, and we learn HOW to read it.

08/01/2011 God's Construction Zone (part 5) The Wise Man Two men. Two houses. Two foundations. The foundation made all the difference when the storm hit.

07/24/2011 God's Construction Zone (part 4) Another Brick in the Wall Nehemiah was a man of prayer and planning. He listened to his brothers as they shared the news of Jerusalem. It was in a state of destruction, and the people were in disgrace. What would Nehemiah do? What was his plan to restore the faith and confidence of those in this once great city?

07/17/2011 God's Construction Zone (part 3) God's House King David looked out of his prestigious home and saw the Tabernacle. By this point, it was aged and well-worn. David’s son, Solomon, was put in charge of building a permanent dwelling for God. Upon completion, Solomon uttered what is one of the most powerful prayers in all of Scripture.

07/10/2011 God's Construction Zone (part 2) More than Enough Moses spent 40 days on the mountain with God. When he returned, he had with him the Ten Commandments along with plans for a Tabernacle. Moses passed along the list of needed items to the Israelites, and they gave beyond measure. They gave more than enough.

07/03/2011 God's Construction Zone (part 1) Two by Two Since Cradle Role, we have heard the story of Noah and the Ark. We know the details of the story, from the size of the ark to the power of the storm. Why did it happen? What lessons can we learn as adults from this classic story in Genesis 6?

06/26/2011 Proverbs (part 8) God's Guidance Some people are genuine, genuinely wrong. Others of us, at times, find ourselves wanting to do what we want to do. We don’t’ really want to know what Scripture says. Our hearts pull us one way, to the point that we may not have much interest in knowing what the Bible really says. One of the biggest problems we have in Christianity today is the failure of good people to mix their head with their heart.

06/19/2011 Proverbs (part 7) A Faithful Man When it comes to mothers, Proverbs asks, A wife of noble character who can find? When it comes to fathers, Proverbs provides another challenging question in Proverbs 20:6, Many a man claims to have unfailing love, but a faithful man who can find? Our quest is simple. We are looking for a faithful and trustworthy man.

06/12/2011 Proverbs (part 6) Friends Family and Neighbors Long before Dale Carnegie wrote the classic book How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936, God gave us the instruction book on life. Carnegie’s book stands as an encyclopedia on how to develop people skills in the business world and has now sold more than 15 million copies. Carnegie believed that financial success is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people. What does the Bible say about influencing friends?

05/29/2011 Proverbs (part 5) Be Careful One of our greatest tests of wisdom comes when we speak. Each of us has heard the wise saying, “Think before you speak.” Do we allow God’s Word to serve as a filter for what we say? It reminds us to encourage rather than criticize. It reminds us to rebuke in love. To speak to someone rather than about someone. To speak the truth rather than slander. As we return to Proverbs, we will notice that what God intends for good, Satan tries to use to destroy our relationship with God and each other.

05/25/2011 Anger (part 7) The Finale At the end of the day, what difference does it make to study anger? What impact should it have in our lives? Hopefully, it will help prevent some conflicts while also giving the tools to resolve others.

05/18/2011 Anger (part 6) Detailed Five-Step Plan This week, we finally cover all five-steps in one session. How should Christians react when something makes us angry? This is a very practical session on "how to" handle anger.

05/22/2011 Proverbs (part 4) Be Rich The Bible describes three ways to gain wealth. What are they? Which ones are blessed by God?

05/15/2011 Proverbs (part 3) Be Committed Everyone wants "the Good Life." Unfortunately, some people don't know what it takes. Others aren't willing to pay the price (discipline) to get it. Solomon lays out the path to a blessed life in Proverbs 3.
