	  <itunes:subtitle>Sermon by Randy White from Matthew 5</itunes:subtitle>
	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Jesus' Sermon on the Mount was a pivitol point in His earthly ministry. Some say that this Sermon &quot;holds the dynamite of the Holy Spirit&quot;. It contains the standards by which all believers must conduct their lives. 
<br/><br/>
Today's message examines the attitudes of gentleness, righteousness and mercy and highlights the unique characteristics of a believer who chooses to adopt these attitudes.  
<br/><br/>
Gentleness or meakness can be defined as &quot;power under control.&quot;  Are you known for making peace or known to stir things up? 
<br/><br/>
Do you seek righteousness, honesty, integrity and justice in your life? Jesus desires that we literally hunger and thirst for righteousness. Those who seek righteousness cannot tolerate sin in their lives.
<br/><br/>
Mercy is exemplified by one who displays sympathy and compassion towards anyone in need. Someone who is merciful, does not deal with others in a harsh manner. 
<br/><br/>
Only when we choose to yeild our lives completely to God, under the control of the Holy Spirit, will we be able to embody these characteristics.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[What kind of foundation are you building upon?  Many are building upon superficial foundations, such as family ties, friends, occupation, investments and dreams. Some even rely upon their membership in a church. Church membership has little meaning, unless we are saved first by the blood of Christ. 
<br/><br/>
A life built upon a personal relationship with Jesus Christ will never go astray, but will grow stronger and stronger as time goes by.  Are you building upon the Solid Rock; Jesus Christ?

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[God's Word tells us that we must be on guard 24/7 against attacks from the devil. Being prepared and watchful will allow us to maintain the proper spiritual posture.  This challenging sermon addresses the four vital gates in our Christian life that we must guard at all costs:
<ol>
<li>The gate of the heart.  Implore the Lord to write His Word on your heart through diligent and consistent memorization of the Bible.</li>
<li>The gate of our tounge.  Words can be destructive or instructive.  Our words must be truthful, acurate, pure and thoughtful.</li>
<li>The gate of our eyes.  The eyes are the window of the soul. Our eyes must be fixed on Jesus.  Bad company corrupts good morals.</li>
<li>The gate of our feet.  Choosing and remaining on the path that is straight and narrow, for this is the path Jesus has choosen for us.</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>It doesn't matter what your background is or where you come from.</li>
<li>If you set your heart on serving God, He can use you in a mighty way.</li>  
<li>When we commit to Him, we're His forever.</li>  
<li>Despite our sinning, we cannot sever a genuine relationship with God.</li>
<li>We serve a living God and are standing in the presence of God.</li>
<li>Knowing God's Word and praying to the Lord are critical actions to a successful life.</li>
<li>Being with the Lord is a prerequisite for actively serving Him.</li>
<li>To be blessed, we must be in the location of divine choice.</li>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[It has been said that a person would rather see a sermon than hear one. As such, believers are called to live consecrated and separated lives. 
<br/><br/>
Today's message highlights three important characteristics each believer should model as we await the Lord's return:
<ol>
<li>Live an exemplary and truthful life. Any compromise will void our testimony for Christ. Our lives and conduct must be a godly examples to others.</li>
<li>Avoid idols. Placing anything or anyone (including ourselves) ahead of the Lord is a sin. We must maintain our loyalty to our God first.</li> 
<li>Abounding in love -- godly love is an outward love not an inward one</li></ol>
As followers of Christ, we must live sober and clean lives. Although we live in this world, we must not take part in the sins of this world. Living in anticipation of Christ's comming will prove to be the best path.]]></itunes:summary>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[The Jubilee was only celebrated once every fifty years. Specifically for the nation of Israel, it was a time to remember all of the miracles that God performed on its behalf. God delivered them from the hand of slavery and bondage, bringing them out of the wilderness and into the promised land. In the same way, Jesus has delivered each believer, bringing them true freedom and liberty through His cross.  
<br/><br/>
As a nation, we we have drifted from the prinicples upon which we were founded. There are many people who find themselves again in the wilderness, lost and under the bondage of sinful slavery. God desires us to boldly proclaim the truth of His saving grace in order that people will know true liberty and true freedom. 
<br/><br/>
May God help us to rember, return and renewed.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Fatherhood is the most important role a man will undertake. Sadly, today the importance of fatherhood is severely underestimated.  A Godly father is called to be the human anchor of the home. As such, we must be determined to set a Godly example in conduct and devotion to God. This can only be accomplished by maintaining a close relationship with Jesus. A man that loves his family and nutures this relationship is a man who will reap eternal rewards.
<br/><br/>
Statistics show that children follow the example of their parents. Therefore, let us lead lives that honor God daily. Seeking God's face, being open to His will and obediently executing that will guarantee a blessed, peaceful and joyful life.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[It is the desire of God for each believer to dwell in the center of His will at all times. When we are in the center of His will, there is tremendous joy, peace, power,security and victory. Left to ourselves we would not choose this path. This challenging sermon offers three simple, yet powerful keys to ensure we are centered in His will:<ol>
<li>Desire to do God's will: 
Do you desire God's will above anything or anyone else in this world?</li>
<li>Determine to seek and follow God's will:
In other words, we must ask God, &quot;What do you have for me to do today?&quot; This can be summed up in the acronym ASAP (&quot;Always Say A Prayer&quot;).
</li>
<li>
Do His will: God wants us to be &quot;real&quot; Christians, who go out into the world and live a life that is consistent with the teaching of Christ. We do not have the power to accomplish this testimony without being fully surrendered to Him.
</li></ol>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[A sermon focusing on the four men who carried their paralytic friend to Jesus for healing.  No one ever comes to Christ with an open heart and leaves unsatisfied.  While there were critics, skeptics, hinderers and curious onlookers watching as spectators nearby, Jesus rewarded those who came to him with true faith and open hearts.
<br/><br/>
There will always be those who specialize in finding fault in others.  Judging others hinders the work of Christ and is a sign of a shriveled soul.  Are we hinderers or helpers?  The one who is hindering the work of God also makes the most noise.  Let's not hinder; let's help the work of God's kingdom.
<br/><br/>
We should expect difficulties when bringng others to Christ.  No hindrance should affect our determination to lead someone to Christ.  May the Lord help us be men and women who carry others to the Lord.  
<br/><br/>
God doesn't interrogate the lost.  Jesus is loving, kind and compassionate.  Let's emulate Jesus' spirit when leading others to Christ.

Do you hold Jesus in high regard and give Him preeminence in your life?  There is only one way that we can experience the peace that surpasses all understanding. There is unspeakable joy in having a personal relationship with Jesus.  He is the only one who can claim that He has conquered death and rose again. We have a living God and nothing is impossible in this life without Jesus Christ.

<li>The Homeless plotter meets the God of Abraham and Isaac.</li>
<li>Twenty years in the School of Hard Knocks.</li>
<li>Jacob finally receives his degree.</li></ul>
We come to God with many flaws. First and foremost is our sin. However, the moment we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, our sins are removed forever.  Only then can  His work of transformation begin. God promises us that we can depend on Him to continue this transforming work. 
<br/><br/>
God wants us to have an abundant life. Will you allow Him to transform your life into something truly incredible?

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[The successful Christian life holds the trademark of abiding in Him. The only way that we can experience spiritual growth and victory is by staying close to the Lord.
<br/><br/>
There are three key areas in which we must abide:
<ol>
<li>In Christ.</li>
<li>In His Word.</li>
<li>In His love.</li></ul>
He is the True vine and we must cling to Him in order to receive nourishment and bear spiritual fruit. However a life apart from Christ only results in a barren and fruitless existence. Won’t you follow His will and abide in Him?  Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[The King of Syria was at war with Israel; however, Elisha the Prophet warned the King of Israel that an attack was imminent. The King was wise and trusted Elisha, saving Israel from defeat. This enraged the King of Syria, and he sent soldiers who circled the city in order to capture Elisha. When confronted with this situation, Elisha said, Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.&quot;  Elisha's  only weapon was prayer. Elisha knew his God and knew that the Lord would deliver him out of this circumstance. 
<br/><br/>
Today the world is at the breaking point. Satan is making a grand assault against the Christian faith, seeking to destroy and eliminate it; however, no matter what opposition, confusion or fear that will come, realize that our eyes must be on Jesus. We must be like Elisha, on our knees, using the weapon of prayer.  
<br/><br/>
Where is your place of safety today? Place yourself at the feet of Jesus. Seek to stay close to Him. This is the only place we can find peace, contentment and trust, knowing that He will take care of His own.   
<br/><br/>

They saw only a crucified and buried Lord and hopelessness and sadness.  As we travel down the road, what do we see?  Even as believers, we can fall into despair due to our situations and the circumstances of our world.  We must not interpret life by what we see, however.  Let us remember that despite everything we see around us, despite all of the despair, we can stand on the promises of God and the reality of a risen Savior!

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Paul was lashed, beaten, stoned, shipwrecked, and imprisoned in chains more than once. Although these brand-marks were a symbol of shame and dishonor, Paul was happy to declare he bore these marks, as a result of his discipleship. He considered these the brand-marks of Jesus.
<br/><br/>
There are certain brand-marks in the life of a Believer that should be evident in our daily lives.  These evidences are possible only through the occupation and renewal by the Holy Spirit, as a result of salvation. 
<ul>
<li>A freedom from the law of sin and death through a new spiritual birth.</li>
<li>A desire to reconcile conflicts in our lives in order to reconcile people to God.</li>
<li>A deep, honest and joyful fellowship with the Lord and the Body of Christ.</li>
<li>A worship that is genuine, alive and vibrant as directed by the Holy Spirit.</li>
<li>Placing a high priority on evangelism: delivering the Good News of Jesus Christ.</li>
<li>Leading a life that is separated from this world.</li>
<li>Godly and holy conduct in our daily life.</li>
</ul>
Jesus' mark upon us as His followers should be evident to all who come in contact with us and should leave a lasting impression that brings glory to God.]]></itunes:summary>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Collectively, Christian believers are called by many names. Paul refers to this collective group as &quot;the body of Christ&quot;, &quot;the family of God&quot; and &quot;soldiers of God.&quot;  When we become believers, having a personal relationship with Christ, we also become a part of a wonderful family and community. We may take the body of Christ for granted, forgetting the special union that we have through the lordship of Christ.
<br/><br/>
Each individual believer needs the others in order to complete the body. Can you imagine trying to live the Christian life by yourself? There is something wonderful about the blessing of interacting with other believers
<br/><br/>
We each have need of one another have and must be committed to each other in order to make the body complete. If we are unfaithful in our duties to the Lord, the whole body suffers. We must be mindful to make absolutely sure where God wants us to be, accepting one another just as Christ accepted us.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[The Church in Ephesus was chided in Revelation chapter 2 for having left its first love.  This convicting sermon takes a look at our first love in Christ and challenges us to hold on and give first priority to that love.  Clear signs of first love are examined:<ul>
<li>We desire to spend time with our Savior.</li>
<li>We desire to know more about Him.</li>
<li>We desire to converse with Him in prayer.</li>
<li>We desire to study the Bible more.</li>
<li>We enjoy going to church.</li>
<li>We enjoy the fellowship of Christians.</li>
</ul>
That first love is so important because it aligns our perspective on our lives and circumstances, give us a genuine care for others and attracts those around to Christ.
<br/><br/>
If you find today that you have lost your first love and your focus on God, recognize the misstep in your life where you turned away from God.  Confess your sin.  Remember what He did for you, and turn back to Him.  His arms are always open wide, and He is waiting for you.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[The Bible is very practical, containing guidance as well as answers to life's questions and problems. This is true of both the Old and New Testaments.
<br/><br/>
God wants us to be accountable to Him, honest and straightforward without excuse. Excuses are an attempt to cover our sin or explain away our shortcomings and sins, considering these things as unimportant.  The Lord, however, does not want us to fall into the same pit as Adam and Eve. There are three excuses that affect our lives for eternity: 
<ol>
<li>Excuses for not getting saved.</li>
<li>Excuses for not living a Godly life.</li>
<li>Excuses for not serving the Lord. </li></ol>
We can always come up with excuses; however, no one will have any excuse for their actions when we stand before Him in Heaven. We are all sinners who are saved only by the grace of God. What excuses are preventing you from knowing God and living a Godly life?

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[What is God's will for you today? God orchestrates our lives in a miraculous way.  He has a plan, and He wants us to know and understand what His will is and to know the purpose He has for our lives. As such, He has provided us a number of resources:
<ul>
<li>The Bible. Are we listening and understand what the Bible is saying, or are we &quot;asleep&quot;?
<li>Godly counsel and godly mentors</li>
<li>The Holy Spirit</li>
</ul>
Do you know what God’s will is for you?  We must be awake in order to be aware of His will and plan for our lives. Are you listening to His word and the people He is using to reveal His plan for you?  Aligning your interest with His will allow you to obey and follow His direction.  We must surrender our will to His, in order for us to make the right choices and do the right things, leading to a life that pleases Him. 
<br/><br/>
If you find yourself unaware of what God's will is for you, please pray, asking for forgiveness and renewal, knowing that He will never refuse a sincere heart seeking forgiveness and salvation.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[When we cut the rope, leave our comfort zone and move forward, as mentioned in the first part of this two-part sermon, we will encounter obstacles. It has been said that obstacles are those things that are seen when we take our eyes off Jesus Christ. When the storm was overtaking the small boat in which they were traveling, the disciples only saw the waves and felt the wind. Instead of immediately going to the Lord, they reached out to others for comfort and rescue.
<br/><br/>
When we face difficulties, even though we may find ourselves panicked and fearful we must first remember that God has a plan and our Captain is Jesus Christ. No one has ever endured the cross or any other agony that Jesus bore on our behalf. He did not fail in that endeavor, and He will not fail in what He has in store for you.
<br/><br/>
He allows circumstances for specific reasons in our lives; however, when all  is said and done, you will find yourself stronger, more prepared and closer to God than ever before. A storm with Jesus in our boat is far better than smooth sailing without Him. The only remedy for our lives is Jesus Christ. We must let Him govern, fearing nothing, allowing Him to move our lives forward in our journey to the other side. Let us set sail, cut the rope and leave the comforts of our lives behind. Are you ready to journey with Jesus?

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Desiring to journey to another place, Jesus and His disciples boarded a boat and set sail. Along the way, they encountered a fierce and sudden storm. Fearing for their lives, they entreated the Lord to take action. The God of Creation was the only one able to calm the sea and deliver them safely. They had never before seen Jesus in such a situation, and this was certainly a life-changing experience. 
<br/><br/>
Jesus often desires to have us travel with Him, as he wants us to experience Him in new and different ways. Jesus' call is unique, asking us to:<ol>
<li>Cut the rope and travel light.</li>
<li>Leave your comfort zone. Is there a better One to follow than Jesus Christ?</li>
<li>Move forward. No matter if the journey is long or short, we must not be stagnant.</li></ol>
Jesus will equip us for whatever journey He desires for us. Let us set sail, for our benefit and the benefit of others who do not yet know Him as Lord and Savior.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Paul literally bore the marks from a multitude of physical beatings. His past suffering was outwardly evident. More importantly, however, Paul bore the marks of the Holy Spirit, which were inwardly evident. These inward marks brought about miraculous changes in his life. As such, God used him to affect the lives of others. 
<br/><br/>
At the moment of conversion, the Holy Spirit immediately takes up permanent residence in the life of a believer. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is everlasting and full-time, not a part-time coming and going based on our behavior or feelings. As a result, believers are empowered and free to serve God. 
<br/><br/>
The marks of the Holy Spirit should be evident to others, as the life of the believer is meant to be different. A few examples of these markings are:
<ul>
<li>A spirit of reconciliation</li>
<li>A desire for deep and honest fellowship</li>
<li>Worship is alive, real and shared</li>
<li>Evangelism takes a high priority</li>
</ul>
May God bless us with a desire to allow the Holy Spirit to work freely in our lives, so that we may affect the lives of others for the glory of God.

<br/><br/>
The story of the nation of Israel in 1 Samuel 8 and their rejection of God's rule and desire for a king teaches us how this world's rule leads only to decay and destruction.  If we choose to allow our lives to be conformed to this world, we will only find misery.  Let God rule your life today, follow Him all the way, and you will find true joy and lasting peace.

	  <itunes:subtitle>Sermon by Ron Cooper from Daniel 6:3-27</itunes:subtitle>
	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[At a young age, Daniel chose to live to please God. He committed himself  and stood firm against the tempting pleasures of the world. He declared that he would not defile himself and displease the Lord. As a result, God used Daniel throughout his life in order to tell others of God's glory and His salvation. Daniel earned the right to be a chosen servant of God. 
<br/><br/>
There is no doubt that Daniel was exceptional and extraordinary. God is looking for these types of people to serve Him -- people with firm characters of integrity. Daniel's lifestyle convicted many people, as he was trustworthy and incorruptible. How do our lives compare to that of Daniel's? Is there any evidence of corruption in our lives? Is there a distinction between your lifestyle and this world? 
<br/><br/>
How can we gain such high character of incorruptibility? God is able to transform our lives and characters so that it will transform other people's lives. We can go through all of the motions, but sin is always crouching at our door, ready to pounce upon us if we let it into our lives. Our lives must bring glory to God in order to bring others into His kingdom. There are lives at stake.  We are not called to be successful in this world; we are called to be faithful. 
<br/><br/>
This inspirational sermon challenges us to be committed to live a life that pleases God, without the slightest compromise or exception. 
<br/><br/>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[As a child of God, we can have faith that whatever happens in our lives has passed through the hand of God. Each day is tailor made for us, equipping us with the right amount of  grace that we need in order to successfully navigate each day. The first step, however, is coming to the place of surrender. Once we surrender our lives to His Lordship, through confession, repentance and acceptance of His finished work upon the cross, He is able to apply His plan to our lives.
<br/><br/>
This inspiring sermon focuses on the life of Joseph. Being a consistent and godly man, Joseph had the right reaction to his trials and successes. There are three main characteristics that Joseph possessed that allowed him to live a life that was pleasing in God's site:<ol>
<li>Right Attitude</li>
<li>Right Perspective</li>
<li>Right Outlook</li></ol>
Remember, God can turn our bitterness into sweetness and turn our sorrow into blessing. God knows the end result. Whatever He allows in our lives is used to transform and conform us to the image of Christ and glorify Him. God's purposes and God's plan come from His hand. We cannot choose our circumstances, but how we choose to look at those circumstances is within our control.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[There is no doubt that we each make a multitude of choices every day, ranging from the very simple, to perhaps the very complicated; however, there are those spiritual decisions that have eternal consequences. There are several questions we must ask ourselves in order to clarify our spiritual lives: 
<ul>
<li>Why do we have the ability to choose?</li>
<li>What do our spiritual choices determine for our life?</li>
<li>How do our choices influence our life?</li>
<li>How do these choices help us or hurt us?</li>
<li>What are our passions in life?</li></ul>
Apart from Christ, there can be no peace, hope or life. The fact remains that there is only one of two places you will spend eternity -- either heaven or hell. What are the consequences of your decisions regarding your spiritual future?  Whom are you serving today? Does your answer leave you peaceful or doubtful? What is your choice?

Are you curious about your future? The good news is that God wants us to know the future as well. He wants us to know what is going to happen.  God has a message just for us. This inspirational sermon focuses on scripture in the book of Revelation that tells us that we are blessed just by hearing His word. It is clear that God wants us to see the future and understand what will shortly come about.

	  <itunes:subtitle>Sermon by Adel Akl from Proverbs 14:24</itunes:subtitle>
	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[It can be said without hesitation that America is a blessed nation. Founded upon Biblical principals and Christian beliefs, our forefathers were determined to build a nation that honored God at all costs.  As such, we should never be ashamed of our beliefs or the practice of our faith. Unfortunately, we see today a lack of loyalty, patriotism and Christian beliefs, not only individually but in our churches as well. We have exchanged these timeless truths for the pursuit of worldly gains.  Do you still respect and pray for those who govern and protect us? Do we pray for those who serve our country, dying everyday in order to maintain our liberty and freedom? We must each ask ourselves, &quot;What am I doing to maintain the freedom I have received? Am I living according to the Christian ethics and beliefs that this country depends upon, or have I grown cold and indifferent towards these things, not caring enough to live in the fear of God?&quot;
<br/><br/>
We are living in extremely difficult times today. As a nation, we have removed God our homes, schools, government, business practices and society; however, we can take a stand today to fight for what God has given us.  Regardless of what opposition we may face, we can stand firm upon the promises of God. We must not be ashamed to live for and proclaim our faith in Jesus.
<br/><br/>
If we want to save America, we must awaken and repent from our sin and start living for God -- at home right now. We must turn back to Biblical principals and the freedom that Jesus Christ offers. We must rise up and proclaim, once again, that we are &quot;One Nation Under God.&quot;]]></itunes:summary>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Each one of us considers certain persons or things precious; however, have you ever pondered what God considers precious? This challenging sermon emphasizes five things that God considers precious:
<ol>
<li>Jesus Christ</li>
<li>His blood</li>
<li>Our faith</li>
<li>The promises of God</li>
<li>The saints of God</li>
</ol>
Remembering that these things are precious to God should encourage us through our daily lives.  If you find yourself today not knowing the Lord, He awaits your precious prayer for salvation and will give you forgiveness and everlasting life. This can be yours today. If you already know Him as your Savior, then rejoice in these truths.

	  <itunes:subtitle>Sermon by Ron Cooper from Exodus 1:12</itunes:subtitle>
	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[It goes without saying, that we all face many choices each day -- from what we wear to how choose to end our day. There are some choices, however, that are more important and have more significance. All choices need to be prioritized according to significance and consequence. God's plan since the beginning of time has been to give mankind the freedom of choice. With that freedom comes accountability.  Adam and Eve faced choices when confronted by the devil. They, of course, failed to follow God's instructions carefully and suffered the consequences of their wrong choice. 
<br/><br/>
This challenging sermon focuses on passages of scripture that closely parallel the times in which we live. Many people are seeking someone or something to provide them with hope, deliverance and direction for their lives. Like the Israelites in today's reading, many have fashioned idols in their lives -- choosing to turn away from God and turning their worship, time and devotion to man-made idols. Some Christians have also turned away from God. Tired of waiting for Him to act, they find themselves living ineffective, hollow and unfulfilled lives. When we lose site of God, we quickly turn our worship to other things or other people. 
<br/><br/>
As we await the return of the Lord, what choices have you made? It is God's desire that you choose to follow Jesus and remain faithful to Him alone, living a life that brings glory to Him. Have you chosen to remove Jesus from the throne and replace Him with something or someone else? If the Lord continues to put his finger on a sin in your life, what is your excuse? The bottom line is that it is neither right nor acceptable to live in sin. Although we have the freedom of choice, may we make the right choice, repent from our sin and turn back to Him -- and, once that choice is made, we must remain faithful, surrendering our lives to Him and standing with Him. If not, how long will you waiver between two choices?
<br/><br/>
This choice is one of life and death. If you choose to set this decision aside or make it a trivial matter, you have chosen a dangerous path.  There will be a time, when it will be too late to make the choice to follow Jesus. The time of choosing is now. Will you repent of your sins, surrender your life and follow Jesus?

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Atheism is amongst the fastest growing movements in popular culture today. Undoubtedly, this will have some effect on modern day believers. Hostility towards followers of God is nothing new; however, just as in times of old, God is faithful to supply the needed courage and protection to those who are faithful to His call.
<br/><br/>
This encouraging sermon message focuses on the life of one courageous and obedient follower of God: Elijah. The times in which Elijah lived are very much like the times we live in today.  Elijah was a man of great courage, enthusiasm and zeal for the Lord. The keys to these characteristics in his life were born out of his dedication to God. Being a man of prayer, he spent much of his time in private preparation and fellowship with God in order to administer his public ministry. Are these believers of old really any different than we are today?  
<br/><br/>
Three key elements of Elijah's life are examined:<ol>
<li>Elijah was convinced of the reality of God.</li>
<li>Elijah was convinced he was a personal representative for the Living God.</li>
<li>Elijah was aware of the resources available to him as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus.</li></ol>

With piracy, nuclear proliferation and terrorist groups quickly advancing toward domination of certain countries, what are we to do and how are we to live a Christian life in this perilous world?
<br/><br/>
These same circumstances confronted the believers in Peter's day as well. How did they live in a world gone mad?  Thankfully, Peter carried out the orders given him by Jesus to &quot;tend my sheep&quot; and masterfully reveals to us the keys to successful living in dark times. We are called &quot;aliens and strangers,&quot; as we must remember that we are simply sojourning through this earthly world.  We are strangers. As we are here only for a short time, there is an urgency to Peter's message. God wants us to know that we can view the world differently -- with hope. There should be a definitive difference between the believer and unbeliever.  This challenging sermon focuses on what we can do to live a life that brings glory to God.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[God has a plan for each of our lives. Although we may only see our failures and shortcomings, as believers, God sees us as perfected through His Son Jesus.
<br/><br/>
This encouraging sermon focuses on the disciple Thomas.  Because of his failure, Thomas has been known as &quot;doubting Thomas&quot; throughout the ages. Doubt can be the number one destructive element in our lives; however, God wants us to be victorious over doubt, through the studying of His word, praying and spending time with Him.  Five main points are examined:
<ul>
<li>Who was Thomas?</li>
<li>Why did Thomas doubt?</li>
<li>Who Changed Thomas' life?</li>
<li>How Did Thomas get to his point of change?</li>
<li>What did Jesus do for Thomas to help him?</li>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Throughout the course of our lives, we have all taken tests. Certainly, some are easier than others. Not only do tests measure the recipient's knowledge, it also, in a form, measures the provider's knowledge. Our passage today tells us about what has to be one of the most difficult tests of all time. You may question, why God would ask Abraham to offer up his own son as a burnt offering; however, God is faithful, not only lets us know what He expects from us during times of testing, but He is so faithful to also provide what we need during that time as well. God wanted to know if Abraham would trust Him and love Him more than anything else in His life.  Even though the request and the situation didn't make sense to Abraham, he obeyed without delay.
<br/><br/>
We need to obey in this same manner, even when things don't make sense. We need to behave like Abraham, without arguing and without delay, acting from a pure love of God and remembering Jesus' comforting words &quot;Trust Me.&quot; Perhaps God may not test us in the manner that we would prefer; however, if we are obedient and move by faith, God promises that He will make things clear -- in His time. We cannot do this in and of ourselves, but the good news is that we can seek God's provision if grace from the One who supplies all grace, peace and courage.  We can trust Him.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Currently in our nation's capital, there is a great search underway to obtain staff members who have the unique skill-set of wisdom. In today's world, wisdom is a rare commodity.  The Bible tells us that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. We must deal with God with the greatest of respect and fear. The Bible also tells us that if anyone lacks wisdom, he can ask God, and He will supply.
<br/><br/>
This sermon illustrates the importance of making right choices, as well as the negative consequences of making the wrong choice. Each one of us faces a number of choices each day. How do you make a decision when faced with a number of difference choices?  What happens when you make the right choice?  What happens when you make the wrong choice?  What resources does God provide to assist us in making the right choice?  Who influences our choices?  
<br/><br/>Four parts are examined which make up all choices:<ul>
<li>Setting: What are the circumstances?</li>
<li>Options: What options are available?</li>
<li>Outside Influence: What external forces are influencing our decision?</li>
<li>Result/Consequence: What are the results and/or consequences?</li>

Being arrogant and self-centered, he demanded that he receive his inheritance early. He was anxious to leave and had a desire for false-independence. Wanting to do what he wanted and go where he wanted, he received his inheritance and departed for a far country.<br/><br/>
This is the story of millions of people today. Many people are far away from God and spiritually bankrupt. The only thing that can make you a new man or woman is a life in Jesus Christ. No amount of recreation, lust, money or any other thing this world has to offer equals a life in Christ. Many people attend church regularly, but their lives and minds are in the world. They quickly forget the message and Messenger as soon as they leave.
<br/><br/>
The choice is yours to make. Will you continue to drift away from God, or come back home to God's loving arms?  Only God can fulfill the needs of a hungry soul. He promises to bless you and take care of you, if you will simply come to Him.]]></itunes:summary>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[There have been many philosophers throughout the ages in search of the beginning of wisdom. Since 1955 the volume of human knowledge has double each year; however, even with all of this knowledge, the world is a mess. Knowledge is simply not enough to address our problems.
<br/><br/>
Is there a specific place or a specific institution where one can obtain wisdom? Thankfully, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  God had given us the Bible as a source of truth, instruction and inspiration.  This book tells us, through the gospels, who the source of all truth is. Today's message focuses on the book of Proverbs. It has been said of the Proverbs that it is the book of &quot;compressed experience.&quot;  It is a book of contrasts, illustrating the perils of rebellion and the rewards of obedience in the ways of God.  It is a book of choices, the pathways of life, and a book that contrasts being wise versus being foolish. 
<br/><br/>
The word &quot;proverb&quot; means &quot;to compare, or to rule.&quot;  The word &quot;wisdom&quot; means &quot;insight into those actions that please God.&quot; A proverb will tells us of a right thing, and wisdom is doing that right thing.  Prudence, knowledge and discretion are also keys to living a godly life. A healthy Christian is continually learning and growing, seeking wise counsel to consult with and to listen to. This helps us to understand the various proverbs of life. 
<br/><br/>
The wise person acquires wisdom in order to teach him how to live a godly life, not influenced by the wicked things of this world. The only way to acquire wisdom is to first fear the Lord(i.e. taking God with the greatest level of seriousness), worship and live for Him. 
<br/><br/>
The question we must ask ourselves is: how seriously do we take God?  Have we taken the first step to obtain wisdom? Knowing there are not shortcuts to wisdom, start where we all need to start, that is at the feet of Jesus.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[In today's scripture, Paul reminds us of the gospel by which we are saved. Paul states that the gospel is the first and most important thing he could give others, that Christ died for our sins, was resurrected and appeared to many before ascending into heaven.  This is the most important message that could ever be preached. 
<br/><br/>
We can easily mention the name of God in today's society, without much resistance or backlash; however, the mention of Jesus' name elicits much backlash and hatred. Many believe that Jesus is not the Son of God and therefore, not the Savior of the world; however, without Jesus, there would not be a gospel, and we would have no hope. If He had not risen, the Bible tells us that we are to be pitied more than all other men, as we are putting our faith in a fraud.
<br/><br/>
What would it be like without Jesus? What would life be like if it were all a lie?  It would be full of despair, defeat and hopelessness.  The truth, however, is that Jesus has come and has delivered those who believe in Him from sin.  He has changed lives forever.  Many will ask for proof of this transformation. That proof should come from each believer's testimony. Believers should be living lives that truly glorify Christ. Even though Jesus has not yet manifested Himself again on this earth, the effects of Him should be evident to all -- through believers.  Do people see the proof of Christ in our lives?

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[More tragic than the financial and social conditions of today's world is the realization that many have become bankrupt of hope.  They've lost all hope.
<br/><br/>The story of Job in scripture provides similar circumstances of despair and hopelessness, but Job's investment wasn't in belongings, possessions or people.  His hope was in the Lord.  He never despaired or lost hope because his hope was in One who would never fail.  Four key points are examined:<ol>
<li>Satan's plan is to accuse and destroy.  He takes no prisoners.</li>
<li>God always has a purpose in mind when allowing suffering.</li>
<li>The suffering that God allows is always for our good.</li>
<li>Where is our hope today?</li>
</ol>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[We read in the third chapter of the book of Acts that through God's power bestowed upon Peter, a man lame from birth was healed.  Peter was careful to give all glory to God when the onlookers turned toward him as the source of the healing. Peter admonished the crowd to repent. In Acts chapter 4, as Peter and John were preaching, five thousand people were saved.  They once again emphasized that salvation comes only through repentance and that Jesus is the only Name by which we can be saved. 
<br/><br/>
Influence of others is the common theme of these chapters. Today, the pervasiveness of evil seems to be the leading influential factor; however, we must strive to turn the tide, making Christianity an influencing factor by leading godly lives that attract others to Christ.
<br/><br/>
The Apostles were for the most-part simple, uneducated men; however, these men had great influence upon those with whom they interacted. It was solely through God's equipping that the Apostles could possess such influence, boldness and clearness in communicating with others. These men had been with Jesus and gained such an intimate relationship with Him, that they obtained His power. We too can have this same effectiveness.  The foundation of an influential life has three main elements:<ol>
<li>Christian influence begins with a conversion (new birth) experience.</li>
<li>Christian influence requires communion (companionship) with Jesus Christ.</li>
<li>Christian influence requires commitment to His life and teaching.</li>
</ol>
Do you want to have an influential life?  Do you want a life where others notice that you have been with Jesus?

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Oftentimes, when looking at the world's situation, it is difficult to keep the right perspective. A comparison is often drawn between life and a tapestry. Looking at the individual threads, it is difficult to imagine how this maze could result in such a beautiful scene on the front. Just as the weaver creates the tapestry, God weaves our lives as well. At times we only see a single thread or the maze of threads, making it difficult to imagine how all of these could possibly result in anything of beauty. This sermon reminds us that nothing happens by chance in our lives. There is an order to the events that happen to us in our daily lives that are appointed by God. Many think that they are in control of their own lives and can create their own destiny; however, if the truth were told, we all know that we are not in control and cannot be in control. Certainly there are circumstances that we would never choose for ourselves. 
<br/><br/>
God's word provides an anchor of truth, reminding us that God is in control. We do not choose the times of joy or the times of sorrow. We do, however choose how we react to these times. The verses today illustrate the timeline of life. There will always be events that occur in our lives creating chaos and causing turmoil.  Apart from God, this can lead to hopelessness and depression, but in Him, there can always be peace.  Trusting God is the key to satisfaction and peace in our lives. Looking to Jesus for salvation will result in a new life perspective.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[The Book of 1st Peter is as timely today as it was when it was written to the first century believers. Much like then, the evil, threatening atmosphere we are currently experiencing often gives way to harsh persecution of Christians. The enemy's purpose is to discredit the Church and mock God, and it is often weak, carnal Christians who the enemy uses as examples to bring a negative focus upon the Church. There are, however, four truths that can inspire us to live a higher level of the Christian life and draw encouragement in our daily journey:<ol>
<li>This world is not our home; we are aliens, foreigners and strangers.</li>
<li>We are chosen for a purpose, chosen to obedience, to serve and to die daily to ourselves.</li>
<li>Our inheritance is certain, permanent and undefiled. Our inheritance is God Himself, and all believers will be in heaven with Him; we are protected by the power of God. No one can steal the Christian's treasure, and no one can prevent us from receiving it.</li> 
<li>Although we may experience distressing trials, we can be assured that if we cling to the Lord, the resulting outcome will be a faith that is proven, genuine and true.</li></ol>
Reflect again of how great the salvation is that we received at the time of conversion. We have not seen Christ, but we love Him and rejoice beyond words. In view of what Christ has done, how are we to react to this gift? Our conduct must change in order to be ready at the time of Christ's return: <ul>
<li>We must &quot;roll-up our sleeves&quot; -- beginning to act as those who mean business (staring with a disciplined mind).</li>
<li>We must be sober -- morally alert in our speech and conduct.</li>
<li>We must be obedient -- we simply cannot continue doing whatever we want, acting the same as when we did not know the Lord.</li>
<li>We must be holy in all our behavior, as Jesus is holy. The true role model is nothing less than God Himself.  We must be obedient children, reproducing the family likeness.</li></ul>
The day of God's return is quickly approaching. We must be ready for that day, by living right today.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[We all have secrets -- not only our own, but we hold secrets that others have told us in confidence. In today's political arena, the opposing candidates strive to reveal their opponents' secrets.  Although we may hold secrets close, nothing is hidden from God. Nothing escapes the notice of our God. Knowing this, what can we possibly do to gain hope before God?  There are three key elements that are necessary in order to live a clean, pure and pleasing life before God:<ol>
<li>Saved - confession of sin and acceptance of what Jesus did on our behalf.</li>
<li>Sanctified - holy and walking with the Lord.</li>
<li>Sincere</li>
</ol>
We must examine our lives and get to the place where we are ready to be open and sincere before God. By confessing our sins and sincerely surrendering all of ourselves humbly before the Lord, we will find that God stands ready with His grace and mercy to forgive us and give us everlasting life.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Do you ever feel overworked, overburdened and under-compensated? This might be your state of mind today; however, truth be told, it has been a mindset of many for a long time. 
<br/><br/>
The list of effective leaders is extremely short. Although a mere cupbearer for the King, Nehemiah turned out to be a great leader. He had a passionate burden to rebuild the walls protecting Jerusalem.
<br/><br/>
The wall was nothing but a pile of useless rubble. Nehemiah sat and wept over the state of affairs and knew it was his duty to gather and lead the people to rebuild the wall. Although they faced opposition and mocking, they did not despair, as Nehemiah encouraged the workers and set a Godly example because he trusted in the Lord. Nehemiah left his life of comfort in the King's palace and went back to his country to fulfill God's calling.
<br/><br/>
Workers that are called to lead must have a heavy burden for leadership. Feeding lives, enduring difficulties, conflicts, discouragements and battles are only a few of the experiences encountered on a daily basis. Leaders are chosen and placed by God. Leadership is not a self-appointed position. 
<br/><br/>
All believers that are truly born again are called to work. No matter your skills or background you can be a worker for God. Are you committed to Him and willing to do whatever He asks you to do? Hard work has always been a requirement of servanthood, and God is looking for hard workers ready and committed to carry out His work. God is looking for workers willing to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Are you as committed as the enemies of God, who continually wage war against His people and His ways? God is opposed to the wicked, but blesses the righteous. What part do you play? Are you a committed builder or a wrecker in the great work of God?]]></itunes:summary>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Today's scripture illustrates the struggles of David. As we read about his struggles, passions and emotions, it is easy to compare these to our own lives. 
<br/><br/>
How do we transform our despair to hope? How do we find solace in our circumstances? The key can be found in the first few verses of Psalm 18. If we have a deep, sincere love for God, He promises to provide the hope and strength we need to persevere. We can also be confident in the fact that these seasons in our lives will bring about lasting change in our character, resulting in a closer, more intimate walk with God. 
<br/><br/>
God delights in helping His children. He can be counted on to be there for us, no matter what the circumstance. Described as the Rock of Salvation, He is a safe and steady fortress. Under His wings we can weather any storm.
<br/><br/>
How do you see yourself today? Do you see your faith, trust, and hope increasing, or are you still in despair? Those that turn and seek the Lord are promised a blessed encounter. His lovingkindness encompasses you as you place your trust in Him. God rules all and is in control of all things. Realizing our circumstances and struggles are too great for us to handle is the first step in seeking His help. 
<br/><br/>
Although God does not always act in a way that we would prefer, we can rest in the fact that His way is the best way. God knows better and His goodness can never be exhausted. Christians are people of hope, not of despair. Hope always has the foundation of Jesus Christ.

The answer is that something or someone has superceded the Lord Jesus Christ in our lives.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[If we believe the myth that more is enough, we will spend our lives looking for the next thing to bring us satisfaction.  Unfortunately, that satisfaction always wears off and leaves us wanting and aching for more.  The truth of the matter is that the quest for more cannot provide lasting satisfaction and is defined by the scriptures as &quot;greed, which is idolatry.&quot;  Only Christ can end our quest for more and be our enough.  Paul stated that he learned how to be content.  How can we learn contentment today?  This sermon outlines the steps necessary to learn how to make Christ our enough in all things:<ul>
<li>We learn by practicing and obeying God's principles.</li>
<li>We learn by practicing what the scriptures teach.</li>
<li>We learn by drinking of the water that Jesus gives.</li>
<li>We learn by standing firm in the Lord.</li>
<li>We learn by discovering the God of adequate resources.</li>
<li>We learn that it's God's strength that carries us safely through every circumstance of life.</li>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Many great men and women are remembered for their farewell speeches. Many of these speeches mark historical milestones. Shortly after being elected as President, prior to departing his home for the White House, Abraham Lincoln addressed his supporters, humbly stating, &quot;Without the Devine Being's help, I could not succeed.&quot;
<br/><br/>
Jesus Christ delivered the greatest farewell speech, a message of truth and hope. Prior to His day of crucifixion, the Lord Jesus gathered His disciples, humbling Himself He washed their feet, telling them not to be troubled as He was going to prepare a place for them. He told them that He would return to bring them to that dwelling place, to be with Him for eternity.  
<br/><br/>
Although we struggle and at times may want to give up, Jesus encourages us by asking us to wait just a little longer. His promise of return is further enhanced by the promise of where He is going to take us. Oh the joy that should fill our hearts with these promises. There is, however, only one way in which we are able to realize these promises.  He states simply that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life -- no one comes to the Father except through Him. In view of this truth, to where are you headed? The opportunity is given to you today to accept this free gift, believing what Jesus has said and what He has done on our behalf. Jesus is returning soon. Are you ready?

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[&quot;The steps of a good man are directed by the Lord.&quot; Each day we take many steps, from the moment we awake until the moment we retire to our beds. Some steps are painful; some are happy, and some are difficult; however, the Lord is with us at each and every step. Many ask what they must do throughout their lives to enter into heaven. It is not what we do that counts, as Jesus has done everything necessary on our behalf at Calvary. Jesus tells us that we must come unto Him for salvation and rest for our souls.
<br/><br/>
In life there are two roads -- one is narrow, and one is wide. The wide road is, unfortunately, the one that the majority of folks choose. It is a road of self-effort and self-satisfaction. The narrow road, however, is one of faith and obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Our lives are not simply a series of random events. The Lord knows all, long before circumstances occur in our lives. It is easy for us to make our own plans, however God desires to be in our plans. The sweet path of God begins with our decision to accept Him as our Lord and Savior. The Lord delights in directing our steps, and though we may stumble and even fall along the way, what counts is that we get up each time in order to continue the journey. God promises to care for His people each and every day. The Lord will supply the strength and stamina we need, loving and encouraging us along the way. We should desire to make our daily goal to please the Lord, seeking His will in our plans for each day. Have you made a decision for Christ?

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[It's been said that &quot;discouragement is like a thief.&quot;  It robs us of our joy, peace, vitality and contentment.  If it is allowed to take its residence in us, it brings its friends fatigue, hopelessness, despair, self-pity, depression and doubt.  But in every desperate situation we find ourselves in, we must remember that God is still in control.  This moving sermon examines the various reasons for discouragement and the Bible's remedy for each of those reasons.  Discouragement is inevitable, but our response to it makes all the difference.  We must always remember these three key points:<ol>
<li>God is aware of our circumstances.</li>
<li>Disappointment is part of life on earth.</li>
<li>Disappointment can be defeated.</li>

<br/><br/>
The Bible predicts these times and current events. Trials will come both to the righteous and the unrighteous. Trials have one of two effects: bringing about a softening of one's heart,or a hardening of one's heart. 
<br/><br/>
This challenging sermon outlines three groups of individuals in Daniel Chapter 3 and how they each reacted to trials. It is obvious that trials are here to stay. How we react to those trials will have an everlasting effect with regard to where we stand with God. We have the unique and awesome opportunity to claim God's promise which states, &quot;He will never leave us, nor forsake us.&quot;

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Paul discovered that the ability of God was far greater than his weaknesses and his circumstances.  He was in prison but knew that God still could advance the Gospel of Christ through the chains he found himself in.  We all have prisons that we find ourselves in due to our circumstances, but like Paul, we must have the right perspective on our circumstances to realize that God is still at work.  This encouraging message outlines the importance of proper perspective in three areas of life:
<ul><li>Perspective on our problems</li>
<li>Perspective on our pain</li>
<li>Perspective on our possibilities</li></ul>
Let us ask ourselves what God is teaching us through our circumstances and what has happened to us.  Every prison we find ourselves in is an opportunity to learn, grow, change and still be used to accomplish God's purpose.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[What kind of father does God want you to be? Some say that anyone can be a father; however, the failure rate is higher than any other occupation. Fatherhood is filled with inherent responsibilities and burdens, as it is the most important task on earth. A recent study revealed that fathers spend only and average of twelve minutes per day with their children.
<br/><br/>
While society looks at the outward accomplishments of a man, God looks at the inner strength. Being an effective godly father requires that we be effective spiritual leaders in our homes. Leaving this responsibility to others will lead to a lifetime of regrets. In order to develop a godly character, we need to spend time with Jesus, in His Word and on our knees in order to gain godly understanding and wisdom. 
<br/><br/>
The ingredients for a peaceful and godly home can are summed up with: 
<ul>
<li>A surrendered life to God (being a godly servant)</li>
<li>A faithfulness to God</li>
<li>A loyal Spirit to God and leadership.</li>
<li>A selfless love (a child cannot find the love of God without first finding godly love in his father)</li>
<li>A Gentle Sprit</li>
</ul>
May we have the single-purpose goal in your life to pursue a life of righteousness - seeking to please God in every area and every way.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[It has often been said that the end of journey is more important than the beginning. The Christian life is not a sprint but rather a marathon. God wants us to be consistent throughout our lives in order to finish in a strong and victorious way.
<br/><br/>
Today's scripture highlights the reign of King Asa, initially a man of action who sought to follow God and seek His will. Over time, however, temptations came in the midst of prosperous times. After giving in to temptations and disobeying God's word through His prohpet, King Asa's end was far worse than his beginning.
<br/><br/>
May we have the desire to finish strong by staying close to God, continuing to humble ourselves before Him, relying completely upon Him and worshiping Him. Using the resources God has placed before us and seeking wise counsel will guarantee a peaceful and fruitful life and a strong finish.

God's call to us, however, is different.  His call is not based upon our good works or human accomplishments but upon His grace and deep love for us. No matter what our sinful past contains, He stands ready to forgive us and welcome us into His kingdom, escaping judgment and eternal condemnation. 
<br/><br/>
Calling us to Himself, He desires us to live a life of service, devotion and 100% commitment. Being handpicked from the harvest, we have a job to do, and allowing God to change us from who we were to who He wants us to be will lead to the privilege of sharing our faith with others and sow seeds for God's harvest. Having this awesome privilege, we must ask ourselves what kind of picture of Jesus are we drawing for others to see? How can I best reflect the Lord in my life? Having the sweet fragrance of our Lord Jesus will have an attraction to others longing to hear the good news of the gospel.<br/><br/>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Resumes are designed to draw the interest and create a desire to employ you. A resume summarizes who you are and what you have done. Elijah was used greatly by the Lord.  He served with dependability and integrity. Throughout his life Elijah was sent from place to place, being used by the Lord to bring hope and faith to all of those he encountered. He was a powerful servant of the Lord. Some of the experiences that Elijah had included seeing the dead raised and showing the power of the Lord when fire consumed the sacrifice atop waterlogged wood.
<br/><br/>
There was, however, a season of his life where he was afraid and fled. Alone and in despair, he prayed for the Lord to take his life.  Even so, the Lord provided nourishment in order for Elijah to travel a bit further to a place where he would have a life-changing encounter with God. Elijah experienced God in a new and different way. Afterwards, God was able to still use a broken vessel to accomplish His purposes in an even greater way. 
<br/><br/>
We can claim these same promises today if we are honest and clean before God. Being confident in the Lord's ability and willingness to sustain us through our darkest moments, we must focus on God's promises rather than on our fears and failures, obediently following and depending on Him.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Is there anything more frail and fragile than a bruised and wilting reed at the waters edge or a wick whose flame has faultered, displaying only a small glow at its tip. 
<br/><br/>
Many are the afflications of people today. Why does the Bible contain so many accounts of Jesus meeting with people with problems? -- the woman at the well, the lost hope of disciples on the road to Emmaeus shortly after Jesus' crucifiction, the man with the withered hand - all bruised reeds or smoldering wicks. We can imagine the desperate prayer on their lips begging for relief from the never-ending pain. 
<br/><br/>
The world has no room for people such as these. Jesus, however, is committed to doing good, maintaining His love and compassion for all of us. Jesus' healing requires no follow-up visits or second procedures. His spiritual healing is once and for all. Our passage today illustrates how, at a certain time, there was an encounter with God that resulted in a renewed relationship and closeness with Him.
<br/><br/>
God who comforts the hurting and weak and will never snuff out a smoldering wick or break a bruised reed.   <br/><br/>Additional scripture references: Isaiah 42:1-3, 2 Corinthians 7:6, Psalm 25, Romans 12:13,15

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[The mother's infulence in teaching the &quot;ABC's&quot; of Christianity to her children is unequalled in charting a successful Christian life. Simply put, there is no higher caling than leading a child to Jesus. A godly mother requires three basic tenants:<ol>
<li>A Life that is inspirational for spiritual development. This begins from the moment a child is born. Inspirational spiritual living and teaching a child goldiness, does not require a high level of education, a degree in child psychology, nor any special skills -- only a close walk with God and sincere faith. Introducing children to Jesus Christ first and foremost ahead of anything else will be the beginning of a valuable Christian heritage.</li>
<li>A life that is an encouragement to her children's Christian service. Leading a life that includes and places a high priority on service to God encourages children to lead a life of service as well. This is an essential foundation in a child's life. Children will find inspiration in this training and example if started early, and they are encouraged along the way.</li>
<li>A life that is a witness to God's grace. Children are natural imitators. Whatever example that is put before them, they will follow. Nothing is more contagious than a mother that seeks to live a life after God's own heart. This provides a living example for a child to follow.</li></ol>
A mothers beautiful life is the greatest sermon a child will ever hear.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[We live in a world of difficulties and problems. In the midst of these, it is easy to forget just how great God is. We need to pause and thank Him for all He has done and all that He will do. As the scriptures promise, &quot;He will never leave us, nor forsake us.&quot;
<br/><br/>
What cares do you have on your heart?  Cares that are perhaps so deep, so dear, and so personal, that no one else knows -- but, God knows. He is willing and able to lovingly address those issues, but we need to go to the source of all comfort, care and solutions. 
<br/><br/>
We must come to the end of ourselves and realize that:
<ul>
<li>God is the right source of our blessing and answers.</li>
<li>God has the right resources and abilities (A.R.M.S.).<ul>
<li>A - Answers</li>
<li>R - Remedies</li>
<li>M - Miracles</li>
<li>S - Solutions</li>
</ul>
<li>God gets the glory -- realizing that everything that we have today is from the Lord.</li></ul>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[The Bible speaks much of the confession of faith.  It is defined as &quot;declaring our faith in Christ.&quot;  Our words make a powerful impact on the people in our world, but before we can be used as a testimony to Christ, we must first be certain of our faith and of who Jesus is to us.  Three questions are asked:<ol>
<li>Who did people say Jesus was?</li>
<li>Who did the disciples say Jesus was?</li>
<li>Who do you say Jesus is?<.li>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[One of the greatest inhibitors of a Godly focus on life is anxiety. Many today seek the assistance of a counselor or therapist.  In the review of today's Scripture reading, we note what our priorities should be and where our focus needs to be in order to be free from the trap of anxiety.  Three questions are asked:<ol>
<li>Where do you bank (heavenly treasures or earthly riches)?</li>
<li>Where is your focus?</li>
<li>Who is your boss (to whom do you listen)?</li>
</ol>
Although God provides and instructs us not to be anxious, believers still experience troubles as a result of being in this world. Freedom from anxiety is not a guarantee of freedom from troubles; however, He promises to never leave us nor forsake us.

Admission: Free<br/>
Host: Jesus Christ, the One and Only God.<br/>
Date: Unkown. &quot;No one knows the date or the hour of the Lords coming.&quot;<br/>

Purpose: To give us joy, happiness and satisfaction.<br/>
RSVP: As with today's parable, what will your response be?

That first Easter morning started a new dispensation of history, a dispensation of grace.  His resurrection brought us hope for our lives and our own burdens, reminding us that with Christ nothing is impossible.  He rose from the dead and triumphed over the grave.  Surely, He can lift whatever burden you are carrying today.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[The instant a person is truly born again, an amazing gift is recieved -- the gift of the the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit indwells us. The Holy Spirit convicts us.  When we go through affliction, the Holy Spirit comforts us. When we are at a loss of words before the Lord, the Holy Spirit intervenes &quot;with groaning too great for words.&quot; The Holy Spirit is a helper in our daily walks. When we are in concert with the Lord, there is an enthusiasm in our lives, a spring in our step no matter what the circumstance; however, sin breaks this cycle. If we habitually sin and stay in that sin, doing nothing to bring ourselves into a right relationship with God, the resulting quality of life will be miserable.  The good news is that the moment we confess our sin, this relationship is instantly restored. The Lord is faithful to forgive our sins and remember them no more.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[As we draw near the end of another year, as we evaluate our journey this past year, there is no better time than to evaluate our walk with God. This is the time when accounts are finalized, balances and books are reconciled and inventories are taken. We can say that God has been very good to us this past year. Look deep within and see what we have received from Jesus.  Then, in turn, let us ask ourselves what kind of lives we are living for Christ.  Are we serving Him?  Are we bearing fruit?  Are we redeeming the time and seizing the opportunities He has given us?  Let us commit anew as another year closes and a new one begins to walk not as unwise but as wise, making the most of our every opportunity.  Let us stay firm and walk with Him<br/><br/>Additional scripture references: 2 Thessalonians, Ps.116:7]]></itunes:summary>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[We are Christians because God loved us and saw fit to give His only Son to come into this world and die for our sins, and someone relayed this message to us.  We are the recipients of the blessings of our faith because someone in each of our lives was burdened to tell us the good news.  We in turn must obey the great Commission and tell the world about the greatest gift this universe has ever known -- Jesus Christ.  Let us tell the world this Christmas and rejoice in the blessings that God is with us and for us and that we belong to the family of God.

God sent us a Savior who is Christ the Lord.  We cannot receive Jesus as Savior and not as Lord.  If He cannot come to us as Lord of all, then He is not Lord at all. We simply need to come to Him without any reservations. 
<p>
The disciples called Him &quot;Lord,&quot; and He commended them. Many profess godliness with their mouths but deny Him in their hearts. There are no individuals or rebels in heaven. The Lord asks today, &quot;Why do YOU call me Lord?&quot;  The thief on the cross almost missed his last opportunity; however, he said &quot;Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom&quot;. The man was sincere and recognized Jesus' Lordship. Paul on the Road to Damascus said, &quot;Lord, what would you have me to do?&quot;  </p>
<p>
He is Lord; before His birth, after His birth, during His time on earth and after His ressurection.  He is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. There is no new life without the Him. Bow the knee and recognize Him as Lord and Savior today.

True conversion means change.  A true Christian is not perfect, but a true Christian is not an idolater, adjulterer, thief, a drunkard or any other thing listed in scripture.  A true Christian is not what he was before.  If you are a true Christian:<ol>

We are alarmed to see our &quot;one nation under God&quot; on a moral spiral downward.  We are alarmed by the corruption, the violence and the abuse -- and we are alarmed by the spiritual decay of a nation that was once founded on God.  As a nation, we seem determined to leave the God who has so richly blessed us.  We have turned our back on Him, His Word and His principles.  As gloomy as the outlook may seem, however, we look to Scripture and read God's call to return to Him.  The only solution for restoration is to come back to God.  We as a nation must return to God, and that return starts one life at a time.

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[In our society and in our world, there is a tragic lack of joy.  Philippians 1:1-11, however, paints a picture of man in complete peace despite the circumstances around him.  Paul was imprisoned in chains, and yet he had perfect peace, a peace that can only come from a relationship with Jesus Christ.  That same peace is still available today to all who will receive Christ.  Three keys to strengthen our response to the pits of our lives are examined from this passage:<ol>
<li>Happy memories - recalling what God has done in our lives (1:3)</li>
<li>A joyful outlook with regard to the future (1:6)</li>
<li>Happy prayers (1:4) 
</ol>Additional scripture references: Philippians 4:12,1:2,3,6, Romans 5:20]]></itunes:summary>

	  <itunes:summary><![CDATA[The story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in Daniel 3 clearly illustrates the principle of a believer's separation from this world.  God honored their stand, delivered them from the fiery furnace and gave them success and prosperity throughout the land.  God never fails to honor those who are separated to Him.  He is calling us today to be set apart for Him because only a separated life can be a life of power and honor to the Lord.

<li>When you look in the mirror of God's light and truth, what do you see?</li>
<li>Do we like what you see?</li>
<li>Do you want a second chance?</li>

These storms may deal with physical ailments, emotional struggles, family issues, financial matters or any number of life's problem, but whatever may be involved, God uses the trials to strengthen our faith and build us up to be stronger in Him.  Four key points for us to remember in the storms of life:<ol>
<li>Jesus is right here with us.</li>
<li>If we try and rely on our own knowledge and strength, we will fail.</li>
<li>Our lives are in God's hands and not in the storms.</li>
<li>We need to see the storms from God's point of view.</li></ol>

Preparations for our earthly futures are good, but if they do not include God at the center of our lives, they are empty, foolish plans.  There should be no higher priority than putting God at the heart of our plans and building our eternal future in Him.  Let us redeem the short time we have left and give God our entire lives, holding nothing back.
