Seeds and Weeds

Series:

The Bible frequently uses the image of plants or a garden to teach us about God's Kingdom. In James 1 the Word of God is compared to seeds that God plants in our life. We are like God's garden and God does the planting. But we respond by pulling out the "weeds" that can choke out the Word. Those weeds are sin. Listen as Pastor Chip shows that James is not just talking about "big" sins but the small ones like anger and the way we talk to one another.

I AM…the Resurrection & the Life

By: Rev. Chip Blackshear
Series: I AM
Every time Jesus said, "I AM," he was claiming to be God. When he said, "I am the resurrection and the life," he was saying that he is the source of life and also the source of NEW life, that death could not defeat him. His resurrection proved that he was right. But it also means that death cannot defeat those who are united to him by faith.

“I AM…the Bread of Life”

By: Rev. Chip Blackshear
Series: I AM
Each of us has a hunger for God. It’s the way he made us. But we don’t naturally recognize that it’s God that we desire. Jesus said, "I AM the bread of life." He said this in the context of having just fed the 5000 with bread. But more than bread that we eat, Jesus satisfies the hunger in our souls for God.
