Turn in your Bibles to Luke 2:41, we are going to be reading through verse 52. By way of reminder, we are spending the summer fixing our eyes on Jesus. We are looking at aspects of who Jesus is, and what he did while he was on earth in two primary ways. First, and most importantly, we want to know more about Him, so we can worship Him more. As a reminder Worship is a natural response of our affections that is based on our belief about the object we are worshipping. No matter who you are, or what … Continue reading Fix Your Eyes: “Jesus the Student”
We are taking the summer to fix our eyes on Jesus. Last week we looked at the truth that Jesus was with God in beginning, and that through Jesus, God created all things. That truth should give us hope that when we come to Him, we are not coming to a God who is weak and powerless, put in fact holds you together with his power. Today we are looking at the following verses, and I want to remind us of the two ways we want to be looking at the text. First and foremost, we need to understand … Continue reading Fix Your Eyes: “Become Flesh”
John 1:1-5 Last week we looked at Hebrews 12 and how we run. if you missed the past two weeks messages, please go back and listen to them. I believe they are defining messages for us as a body.

The main idea of the message last week is that we are called into a race when we are saved, and in order … Continue reading Fix Your Eyes: In the Beginning; John 1:1-5

Even when it is difficult, I know He has been there for these two years, … Continue reading Hebrews 12:1-17 “Running Lessons: Reloaded”
Open your Bibles please to Hebrews 11. we are going to be looking at the whole chapter this morning. Does anyone know what this chapter is commonly referred to? it is often called the “Hall of Faith” Here in it is a list of many people and what God did through their faith in Him. This is a who’s who of the old testament in many ways. there are a bunch of the big ones named here, Moses, and David, and Abraham. and others, all commented for their faith. Before it commends them for their faith though, the author … Continue reading Hebrews 11: “Looking Back to Move Forward”
