What can we glean from the commandment 'don't kill'? Out of this seeming economy of words, and Jesus' commentary on it, we can see graphically how to live a rich full life in peace with our neighbors and ourselves.

"You may readily judge whether you are a child of God or a hypocrite by seeing in what direction your soul turns in seasons of severe trial. The hypocrite flies to the world and finds a sort of comfort there. But the child of God runs to his Father and expects consolation only from the Lord's hand." Charles Spurgeon

Today we let Matthew Chapter 21 instruct us on the Fathers' patience, and His understanding of our mercurial natures. This parable of the two sons parallel our own dispositions, thereby giving us assurance that our Father understands the pause between commitment and fulfillment we often have.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Today we draw from the book of Habakkuk, and Habakkuks' concern for Gods' perceived inaction in a time of distress, and how it applies to current events in our lives.

Revelation is full of sweeping grand imagery, both terrifying and beautiful. This evening we will focus on the chorale in chapters 4 and 5 that frame the entire Revelation to John.

There are few subjects that are more hotly contested, and that strike at the very core of our belief, than election. Do we choose salvation, does God choose us, or is it a mix of both? We'll see what the Bible says, and find our answers there this morning.

It's not easy to change the World - if you don't know how. Tonight I will give you the same principles that guided Elijah to victory over the prophets of Baal, the power that carried Daniel to a place that would change Babylon and Israel forever, and the Providence that propelled Joseph to a position where He could protect his people.

In this world, if we live according to the World, we're kind of like pizza cooked in the microwave instead of in a stove. Fit for nothing but the trash bin. We have to undergo that refining fire of the Holy Ghost to be of use. God wants us to be Holy, and has provided the Way.

To be strong, courageous, and productive we should always keep our eyes on our Lord.

This morning we look at how Gods' nature, which is joy and peace, displaces any doubts and fear in our lives.

What would Jesus say about our bank account, or our investments, our jobs? We all know people that have suffered financially, and maybe WE are suffering and facing yet more uncertain times. How do we talk to those in financial turmoil and distress? Jesus has a message of comfort when things look the worst! This is one of those messages you really need to hear, to give you the strength and courage to face bad economies and more.

It sounds like a simple statement but it holds a richness and depth most don't fully explore, and yet it paints a beautiful picture of who we are in the world, and what influence we can and should plant in the lives of those around us.

Death was defeated publically over 2000 years ago. We celebrate it today as Easter. People put a lot of effort in identity, especially so in virtual worlds, but this is why we celebrate our identity as Christians. As Christians we share in Jesus' victory over death, and countless other gifts. Come celebrate with us tonight and maybe learn how you too can lose your fear of death.

He said, “I am the resurrection and the life, whoever believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whoever believes in me lives forever.” Because He conquered sin and death and hell and rose to heavenly glory, we, too, in Him can conquer sin and death and hell and rise to heavenly glory and even sit with Him on His throne.

All through Jesus' life, most people never truly understood what was going on at that time. Even today we expect things and never realize we're not seeing all of Gods' plan, if at all.

Sunday celebrates the arrival of our Lord into Jerusalem with much fanfare, a Kings reception, and the start of our Passion week. But soon after His triumphant entry, the crowds are clamoring for Barnabas to be released - and Jesus to be crucified! Let's take a closer look at how something so horribly wrong could be so magnificently beautiful.

A lot of people think "faith is all you need", but without proper theology horrible things can happen.

For Christians, witnessing is sharing your personal experience with Jesus. It might seem like a strange word to use in talking about your faith, but once you understand how the Bible uses the term, it makes a lot more sense—and becomes a meaningful part of your Christian life.

This week out subject is "Witnessing". Witnessing is mandated by Christ both individually and as a collective body. As in everything God has given us, there's a richness, symmetry, and beauty when you see how it fits into our lives and faith. This is Class 6 - halfway through! Congratulations to those faithful that have come this far!

In life we want everything, don't we? But we soon realize that in life, there's almost always a cost behind things that make us happy. Or is there?

Not all prayer is the same. Intellectually we know that God hears every prayer, but it sure seems some prayers just “work” better than others. The Bible assures us that God hears us if we ask according to his will (1 John 5:14 . And we know He desires our good. It’s also possible to ask “with wrong motives” (James 4:3 , or for our prayers to be hindered (1 Peter 3:7 . The disciples could see how vital prayer was to Jesus, and asked Him to teach them to pray the same (Luke 11:1 . Some prayer is truly effective and accomplishes much (James 5:16 ).

Why does the Devil still torment the Church? Who is this arch-villain called Satan, or Lucifer? What are his motives? Let us tonight take a close look at this fallen and prideful angel and how he operates.

The gospel of John begins, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:14-18 makes it clear that this “Word” that John is talking about is Jesus Christ. This passage is one of many clear and powerful testimonies to the deity of Christ in the New Testament. Yet, there is a detail we often overlook: why did John call Jesus “the Word”? The answer is that the term “the Word” was highly significant to the Jewish culture of the time and in fact, made John’s point about who Jesus (and God) was all the more clear.
