Matt 14.22-31 Immediately after the feeding of the five thousand Jesus sends the disciples out to cross the lake by boat, and Peter walks on the water. Sometimes the testing of our faith can be uncomfortable as we ride out the storm in utter dependance on God.

Matt 14.13-21 To be effective in ministry we must always return to Jesus with an empty basket. This week we look at the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand.

Matt 14.1-13 John the Baptist dedicated his whole life to his ministry, only to have it end with his be-heading. When our times of service come to an end, how would God have us respond?

You can watch this video at www.YouTube.com by typing in "I Love Lucy Pioneer Women".

Matt 13.24-29 Have you ever heard anyone use the phrase "Go to hell" when they are angry? Before you open your email program to write us a letter of how offended you are, listen to the sermon.

MATT 12.38-50 IF YOU COULD ASK JESUS TO GIVE YOU A SIGN WHAT WOULD IT BE? OR HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO THE SIGNS HE IS ALREADY SENDING US? THIS WEEK WE LOOK AT WHAT JESUS HAD TO SAY TO THOSE IN MATTHEW WHO ASKED HIM FOR SIGNS. DURING THE SERVICE WE WATCHED A SHORT VIDEO ABOUT REDESIGNING A SIMPLE STOP SIGN. you can check it out on www.youtube.com under "redesigning the stop sign"

We took a detour today. We had planned to talk about the last week in our series "Don't let anything steal your Christmas." I just couldn't do it. God had put something else on my heart out of Hebrews chapter 12. I hope this resonates with you!

COL. 3.12-14 EACH JOB REQUIRES THE RIGHT TOOL. WHICH TOOLS ARE IN YOUR "RELATIONSHIP TOOL-BELT"? DEALING WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS DURING CHRISTMAS CAN BE STRESSFUL AT TIMES, AND MAY CALL FOR A CHANGE IN HOW WE RESPOND TO CERTAIN SITUATIONS. THIS WEEK WE LEARN HOW TO BEST USE THE TOOLS WE HAVE TO CREATE PEACE DURING THE HOLIDAYS.
