How to Grow Weeds

Date: Sunday, February 25, 2007
Speaker: Brian Shuler
Title: How to Grow Weeds

As anybody who has a lawn can tell you, there is a very ridgid formula you have to follow to grow weeds in your yard. It consists of only one step: do nothing. Follow this, and your yard will be overrun by weeds in no time. In Jesus' parable of the four soils, he talks about the seed that fell among the weeds, which choke out any fruit. If you want your life to matter, you've got to remove the weeds - the worries of the world and the pursuit of riches.

The Acts of the Holy Spirit - Acts 4:31-5:11 - I Surrender All?

Date: Sunday, February 18, 2007
Speaker: Michael Fisher
Title: The Acts of the Holy Spirit - Acts 4:31-5:11 - I Surrender All?

Moving out of chapter 4 of Acts, in an ongoing study of the book which has been called the training manual for Christians. In one of the most intense sections of the Bible, we see the early church moving in power and full of the grace of God when Ananias and Saphira lie and are struck down dead. Seeing their example in the Scriptures, we have to ask ourselves, "Have I surrendered all? Have I been totally honest with God and kept my promises?"

The Acts of the Holy Spirit - Acts 4:22-31 - Ask and You Shall Receive

Date: Sunday, February 11, 2007
Speaker: Michael Fisher
Title: The Acts of the Holy Spirit - Acts 4:22-31 - Ask and You Shall Receive

Finishing chapter 4 of Acts, in an ongoing study of the book which has been called the training manual for Christians. After Peter and John were released by the priests and rulers, they returned to the believers and prayed for God to grant them boldness and success, which He did. When you need God to move for you, are you asking Him? If we don't ask, we'll never receive what He's got for us.

Title: Coach Speak and Football Cliches

Welcome to Superbowl XLI! We all laugh at the way both players and coaches use sports cliches like they're Scripture, but there's often a lot of truth to what football coaches and players have said through the years.
