     | 12,529 views

    It wasn’t enough that Saul had Go’s Spirit within him. He also needed to respond to the Spirit’s prompting with obedience. We need to listen to God’s voice and respond as he would have us respond. "Surely, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed tha

At one level all you need is faith in Jesus Christ. At another level you need to be in a Church, you need to read your Bible. You ...read more

    Saul's Failure Series

    based on 50 ratings
     | 23,620 views

    Saul’s mistake was that he was more worried about his success than God’s glory. God became for him a means to an end, rather than an end in himself. So this is both warning and a challenge to us. Make sure that God is at the centre of our focus in everyth

    On the surface, the story of Saul’s life is one of wars against his enemies, mostly victorious. But that’s just the setting for a much more significant drama that unfolds as his life as king progresses, a drama that involves his relationship with the God of Israel. It’s ironic that as the story ...read more

    Jonathan and his armor bearer were just a few men of faith who, with God’s help, put the army of the Philistines to flight. We need more men and women with that kind of faith.

    JUST A FEW MEN OF FAITH By Pastor Jim May Saul was king in Israel and Israel was at war with the Philistines. Jonathan, Saul’s son had led an army that attacked the Philistines and destroyed a garrison of soldiers. Of course, that only served to anger the Philistines even more and they had ...read more

    Sin has consequences in our lives. The text is the story of two men, Saul and David and how they handled their sin.

    “Two Responses to Sin” October 9, 2005 Today is a message dealing with a very uncomfortable topic.

We like to focus on grace and mercy and forgiveness, but we fail sometimes to really look at ...read more

    Instant obedience is the only kind of obedience there is; delayed obedience is disobedience. Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from Grace.

    What moves the heart of God. If we like John could place our heads on His chest what would God’s heartbeat sound like?

    Nothing can hinder the Lord.

    Paul writes to the church at Corinth that “we live by faith not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5.7). This simple aphorism, often set forth as the litmus test for Christian living, is easily misused. On the one hand, it may be limited to the doctrinal content of salvation; on the other, faith may be ...read more
