Most people do not realize their potentiality - the seed.. the plans... what God has purposed for us. We see only one piece of a puzzle and can't figure it out... But God sees the whole picture.. our life as a whole and how we are to make a difference!

A most unusual topic - CONCRETE! Comprised of 60% - 75% sand and used everywhere to build impressive road, bridges, buildings... We see that buildings all around are going higher and more impressive... and the parallels with our life in what our building materials are.

Our walk with Christ is sometimes difficult when we can't "see" it.. see how it is going to work out.. yet we are meant to follow and walk by faith!

Mothers are a blessing from God! The most solid foundation that is constant and today we honor Moms...

The example Jesus gave continues to baffle today, in that He loved without judging or classifying. His love transcends social classes, bad choices, deserving and non-deserving. He chose not to "play it safe" knowing that everyone will stand before God one day equal.

Every facet of our life will always have a NEXT STEP... but it always BEGINS with the first step... We look at how personal Jesus describes intimacy!

Good Friday was about Jesus paying the price for humanity's "missing the mark!" BUT Sunday, TODAY, is about LIFE! Jesus came to BRING US LIFE... Newness of Life!

Most churches have guest speakers come in during the year, and while we are not big enough to do so YET, Pastor Kevin wanted to share a great message from Andy Stanley via podcast video. Original can me found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t27SdvAmaLo

John (the Baptist) and Jesus both heralded the same message... "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near!" - Yet our understanding of this is DRASTICALLY different... we look at the literal meaning and how it applies to us.

Jesus speaks about a life we can have through pursuit of the Kingdom of Heaven... in John 10:10 NIV, He describes it as "Life to the FULL!" There are many ingredients and today we look at LISTENING!
