    An Unwilling Heart Series

    A crisis is a test. It reveals our attitude towards God and faith in Him. What is the posture of your heart?

    Saul showed an unwillingness to trust God. This sounds odd at first. Why would anyone not trust God? • If we think of our own experience, then we can understand. It could be pride (we think we know best), freedom (I like to do what I like), pleasure (I want some fun), or fear (sacrifices ...read more

    Adapted Rick Warren Sermon for the 40 Days of Community on the need to demonstrate our love for each other by serving each other together.

    Today is the last in our series, what on earth are we here for? What has God placed on this earth to do? To love God and love each other. Remember love is a verb, it is not so much something we feel, as much as it is something we do. Love is a choice. Jesus taught and modeled for us that one ...read more

    I am the greatest, no I’m th egreatest...so the arguement went, but hey they were in for a shock none of them were great, not yet, for none were servants, none were behaving like little children.

    Mark 9:33-37 They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?” 34 But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest. 35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to ...read more

    What did Jesus teach? Servant hood. Throughout His life He always put others first before Himself. Everyday He would spend time with His Father alone in prayer to prepare Himself for His day ahead, in teaching, healing, praying, but mostly serving.

    Who among us does not want to be recognized for something? We long for human affirmation. We want to be recognized for a job well done, for boldly helping others, for supporting a cause we believe in. It is our nature, our human nature, but the words of Christ teach us otherwise. Within the ...read more
