Easter Sunday, March 31st, 2024 at Living Water Community Church. Speaker, Pastor Clark Cothern. Web: www.lw-cc.org

When God accomplishes his purpose, it's never easy, but it's always SO worth it! Web: www.lw-cc.org

We continue looking at Acts 10 and the highly unusual incident when God called Simon Peter and Cornelius together to compare notes. That event signaled a spread of the gospel to every nation, tribe and language. It showed that there is no people group less deserving than any other people group to receive the gospel of Jesus.

What does God think about success? What is his standard for measuring success? We'll discover in this series that His standard for measurement is very different from the messages we get from the world. And when we "get it" and get Him, we are liberated! Web: www.lw-cc.org

If you don't have the backstory, some stories don't make much sense. We'll look at one story that helps us see the meaning to the Christmas story we're familiar with. Web: www.lw-cc.org

It seems impossible from our human perspective. We'll see why it's entirely possible for us to trust in this unique event related to the incarnation of God and why it's so important to us as believers. This was preached at Living Water Community Church, Ypsilanti, MI, by Pastor Clark Cothern on Sunday, December 3rd, 2023. Web: www.lw-cc.org

Another seemingly paradoxical teaching from Jesus. Web: www.lw-cc.org

Here's another paradoxical principle. Jesus' parable about a man who finds a pearl of unsurpassed value helps us understand what it is we have to gain as we see what we need to lose when it comes to God's Kingdom. Web: www.lw-cc.org

Jesus taught what appear to be paradoxical principles, but he did so on purpose, so we would be intrigued enough to dig in and find out what he meant and how his teaching leads us to become truly free as citizens of His spiritual Kingdom. This first principle, "Surrender to be Free," kicks off this series called Paradoxical Pursuits. Web: www.lw-cc.org

Sometimes we need to say, "I quit," and this message helps us see how we can tell when to quit and what to quit, in order to put life back into our life. Web: www.lw-cc.org Mail: office@lw-cc.org

It's hard to say no sometimes, isn't it? Knowing our purpose helps us say no much more easily. Find out how to sharpen your "no" skills. www.lw-cc.org Preached at Living Water Community Church, Ypsilanti, MI, by Pastor Clark Cothern on October 1st, 2023.

In the last message (Sept. 17, 2023) we started providing five steps you can take to exercise God's wisdom as you deal with the "crazy makers" in your life. Today we'll tackle the final three steps. Web: www.lw-cc.org

You've probably dealt with a difficult person, haven't you? Maybe you're dealing with one right now! This message, and the next one in this series, provides some practical steps we can take to exercise God's wisdom as we deal with the "crazy makers" in our lives. Web: www.lw-cc.org

Romans 7 tells us how we feel when we continually fall short and can't figure out why we keep doing things we know aren't good for us. Romans 8 gives us the antidote. It all has to do with our nature, and for the one who trusts Christ, we have a power within us, greater than our will power, who changes our nature. Web: www.lw-cc.org

How can we change how we respond to change? What Biblical teachings help us develop a redemptive attitude toward dealing with difficult changes? This message helps us do just that.

We're starting a new series titled: Time for a Change.

You are likely aware of the term, "Echo Chamber," as it relates to social media and those who listen only to people who agree with them. That's not a new phenomenon, believe it or not! We will see in Mark's gospel how the disciples were influenced by their own version of an echo chamber. And we'll see how Jesus makes it possible for all of us (as his current disciples) to get rid of our blind spots and see more clearly what the Kingdom of God is really about.
