    based on 35 ratings
     | 33,994 views

    Have you ever experienced grace in your life? Perhaps a policeman stoping you for speeding and just giving you a warning when you deserved a ticket. Perhaps a time when you said hurting words to a friend or spouse and they forgave you. Each one of us, at

    Introductory Consideration 1. I don’t know what came over me. I’m not a fighter - I’m not even built like one. But something he said or did just rubbed me the wrong way. Before I knew it I did something that I had never done before or have done since. It was not a very Christian thing to do, ...read more

    Part of the Fit for Life PowerPak.

    Introductory Considerations 1. I enjoy watching Olympic games. (describe some favourite events). Easy to share in the joy of the winner as she/he realized she/he had won. All that glory for just a few races that took less time than most television commercials. 2. Then I saw a special feature ...read more

    Part of the Fit for Life PowerPak.

    Introductory Considerations 1. People today are pre-occupied with their bodies. While some of us could take better care of ours, major industries have sprung up to help meet the concerns that people have with their bodies. Many spend hours in fitness centres making sure that their abs are tight ...read more

    Introduction 1.

    Introduction 1. As most of you know, the consistory has been going through a time of self-examination for both themselves and the church. As part of that examination we came up with a list of seven corporate sins that we as a congregation share. These are sins that are prevalent in our church. ...read more

    Seeking Crumbs From Jesus

     | 26,382 views

    Today we see how the faith of a Canaanite woman found expression in the apparent rejection of her by Christ.

    Introductory Considerations 1. The scene before us seems very wrong. The reactions and words of Jesus are not what I would have expected them to be. If I were only able to share one story from His ministry with an unbeliever, surely this is not the one that I would chose, for the impression they ...read more

    Salvation is a personal matter but the church still has an important role in our faith, according to Jesus

    Introductory Considerations 1. "I really do not need the church. I grew up in a church and I was not too impressed. Saw these people come each week dressed in their Sunday best, not only their best clothes but in their best behaviour. They sounded so sincere but if I saw them during the week, they ...read more

    Introduction 1.

    Introduction 1. Friends, you and me have reasons to rejoice. As believers, we are people who have reason to have joy. * - we have a heavenly father who created us and gave us this rich and bounteous earth to live in * - He has provided all that we need for life and for the enjoyment of life * - ...read more

    Dealing With Doubt

    Contributed by John Kapteyn on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 70 ratings
     | 4,252 views

    Today we consider the cause of our doubts regarding God and how we respond to these doubts.

    Introductory Considerations 1. Have you ever questioned if God is really there? Or have you wondered if God is really the God we worship - the God who reveals Himself in this book, the Bible? If He really is all that powerful and good? 2. Sometimes we look around us and see what is happening in ...read more

    His Goodness

    Contributed by John Kapteyn on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 27 ratings
     | 7,726 views

    As we continue in series on the fruit of the Spirit, we consider fruit of goodness.

    Introductory Considerations 1. It is a word that is used much more than it is understood. Parents tell their children to be good and when a daughter behaves a mother will say "Good girl". When things have gone well, we will say - "that was a good day" Perhaps we had a good vacation or saw a good ...read more

    On Palm Sunday, the people wanted Jesus to be their king, but on their terms. Much has not changed.

    Introductory Considerations 1. Don’t you wish you had been there? Standing along the side of the road waiting and watching Jesus come in the holy city of Jerusalem, into the place where He would establish His rule. People shouting and waving palm branches, even laying their cloaks on the road to ...read more

    based on 34 ratings
     | 6,792 views

    Introduction 1.

    Introduction 1. As we began worship today we heard the children sing Hosanna. As we read the liturgy for baptism and as the vows were made, we too said "hosanna." And as we read God’s word we heard both the people along the road into Jerusalem and the apostle Paul cry out "Hosanna!" 2. Some of ...read more

    We must not limited or love of God, our worship and faith to only our intellect, service or emotions.

    Introductory Considerations 1. The christian church is being fragmented in many ways - liberal vs. conservative, charismatic vs. non-charismatic, contemporary vs. traditional. 2. Differences can be some significant matters as to whether church or people are real thing or can be in how we as ...read more

    based on 87 ratings
     | 6,823 views

    Introduction 1.

    Introduction 1. Do you feel that God is not using you very much? That He has not given you many gifts or opportunities to serve Him? That you are not doing enough for Him? Do you fail to have any joy in seeing God working through you? Is your call as a disciple a burden or an opportunity to ...read more

    1. Do you feel good about yourself? About your life? It is so easy to not feel very good about ourselves.

    1. Do you feel good about yourself? About your life? It is so easy to not feel very good about ourselves. So easy that we so easily believe that to be a Christian and to take our faith seriously, we should never feel good about ourselves. That to feel good about ourselves is a great sin. After all, ...read more

    1. Last week John was given a measuring rod to measure the temple and count the people in it.

    1. Last week John was given a measuring rod to measure the temple and count the people in it. And as we discussed, this did not mean the physical building but rather the true church which is the temple as described in the new testament. And we saw how the church in general can be described as the ...read more
