When the Jewish leaders discovered that non-Jews were receiving Jesus as their Savior, they were so upset. HOW COULD THIS ME? Peter heard the voice of God saying go and make no distinction between them and us. That is God's love for sure.

2 Corinthians 5:14-21 lay the foundation of urgency. When something is urgent, it means now. God's love is required now. Luke 15:1-3 - the BOMB SHELL! Jesus is different. Luke 15:11-32 a familiar story possibly with a Genesis relationship. This message is powerful for reflection, evaluation and for action setting goals. Give the message an ear and let's see if we too will follow the example of God through Noah.
History is an important teacher and opportunity is the change agent to demonstrate what we believe. The people were thinking because some bad stuff had happened, that gad stuff only happens to various people. Just is going to clear up that attitude.
This message explains from the Book of Romans and Luke what the big deal is about the Season of Lent and the importance of Jesus in the desert for 40 days. Who is the Son of God?
2 Corinthians chapter 3 and Luke chapter 9 lay out in scripture clearly, it is Jesus, the chosen and we would do well to listen to Him. To remove the veil, we need turn to God and follow.
It is easy to think we know more than someone else. Obedience is the key to unlocking God's blessings in our lives. For Simon and his fellow fisherman, Jesus said go out deep and cast your nets. Because they followed His instructions they had more than they could have ever imagined.
How mad would you need to be to want to kill someone? What would need to have been done for you to get that mad and out of control?
Luke 4:14-21 tells the story of Jesus returning to His hometown to read from the Prophet Isaiah in the Synagogue. Do you identify with God's 4 groups from Isaiah?
The events at the wedding st Cana haver many thoughts to consider. What was the bridegroom thinking when his wedding ran out of wine?

The Christmas story has Mary with an Angel encounter, Joseph having dreams and shepherds receiving invitations. And what about the Wisemen and the STAR?

Paul shared 8 truths about God in Ephesians 3: In Matthew 2: we discover the players in the Story of Christmas including Herod, the wise man and the STAR.
Zechariah had a story, his wife Elizabeth did too, as did Mary surrounding the birth of Jesus. God made a promise and He always keeps His word. The connections of how the scripture tells the story of God's love is amazing.
I am a church member is a great privilege to serve others and to bring together all of us who follow Jesus into one purpose….serve others in the name of Jesus. Praying for your church leadership is a privilege.
The story begins in 1985 for the first big event that changed Tim's life forever. The 2nd big event happened in October 2014. Tim's story might be hard to believe, but it's the truth. Listen to him share what God has done in his life.

In the Book of Jeremiah the Lord himself make a covenant with David. In Luke Jesus gives both encouragement for we Christians to be on the look out for His return.
Dr James Green plays the song Majesty for the special music. The message begins with a discussion of what do we do with things that are broken? Revelation chapter 1 sets the stage for why God deals with broken things differently than we do. John chapter 18 tells the story of a conversation between Pilate and Jesus. What we believe matters and we can worship His Majesty because Jesus does what no one else has ever done. This message has plenty of “notes to write down”.
Do you know how many Old Testament laws there are? 613 is the answer. Jesus came to earth to be our sacrifice for sin. He is was both the High Priest and the Sacrifice. Which law of Jesus do you obey? Only you can answer. Jesus was clear in Mark 12: which law was important.

The foundation of love established by God is demonstrated perfectly from the Book of Ruth. The Book of Hebrews perfectly explains the difference between what was and what happened because Jesus came. From the Book of Mark Jesus tells us how He sees love. This sermon ends leaving the answer to our response to His love clearly in our hands.
Warning…Tim is fired up with encouragement in this message. This message is packed with reasons why we should be strong, confident and encouraged. From Hebrews 4:12-16 to the question would you quit at the last step from Mark 10:17-31.

My father left Kentucky for Michigan back when he was 17. He had to find work to help support his parents and little sister Peggy Ann. My mother joined my father in Michigan after they were married in 1956. All my siblings, we were born in Warren, Michigan. We attended the First Free Will Baptist Church in Warren and to this day those memories are cherished as a part of my spiritual heritage.
Christianity is relevant because of the action Jesus has taken for us. Christianity becomes important when we understand our relevance to Him
