How much does Christ Jesus love us? Paul says we should want to discover the answer to that question in his letter to the church at Ephesus.
Jesus pronounced that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. These three things define what is important--direction, truth, and living. This message draws attention to Jesus' importance for all people.
The Bible has many lessons for us about mothers. In this message, we look at several verses that highlight the value of mothers to us all.

What we can't do, what we can do, and what God will do is the subject of this message.
Luke tells us the wonderful story of two disciples who encounter the Risen Jesus on the way out of Jerusalem. Unrecognized by them Jesus walks with the disciples for a couple of hours. Jesus teaches them the reason the Messiah had to die according to the Scriptures. When the two finally realize it was Jesus, He disappeared!

Some Greeks wished to see Jesus. Philip and Andrew told Jesus about them. Instead of acknowledging them, He spoke about one grain of wheat. That grain only multiplies if it dies. Jesus is the One Grain of Wheat.

Jesus made all things for His glory. He also gave us a pattern for thinking about the things He made. In this message we look at two passages that inform us about how to think.

The Tenth Commandment warns us about covetousness and greed. This message teaches us about the dangers of greed, and how to avoid those dangers.
Worrying is a nearly universal experience. How we deal with it vs. how we should deal with it are often different. This message explains how to handle worry in a biblical way.
Jesus told the people that in order to follow Him, they had to deny themselves and take up their crosses. To save their lives, they had to lose them for His sake. This message explains the cost and benefits for following Jesus. The reward for doing so is well worth it.
The Prophet Isaiah lived over 700 years before Jesus was born. However, he spoke of Jesus with amazing accuracy and clarity. In Isaiah 52 and 53, we read about some of the awesome truths of Jesus.

To the Thessalonians, Paul invoked from the Lord the blessing of their spirits, souls and bodies. In this message, we see how we can enjoy this blessing across the entirety of our spiritual, emotional and physical experience.
27 centuries ago, Isaiah lived in a corrupt society. His experience led to the LORD'S condemnation of them along with His solution to the problem. Ultimately, the LORD became the solution to those who accepted Him.

This message attempts to show the practical side of Our Lord instructing believers to prepare for an unfriendly world.
