     | 2,516 views

    we put quite a bit of effort into being attractional to the culture outside of the church. But is this really the best approach? How much is the church allowing culture to influence worship? When we understand the evangelistic nature of worship, we can better approach our role.

     | 8,902 views

    There are three relationships that the Bible describes. Each one of these relationships has a key word that keeps them in focus.

    Shine as lights in the world. Philippians 2:15 In our study of Philippians we have looked at the amazing author, Paul, who writes this most positive letter from prison. It's a letter laced with joy. Why? Because of the relationship the writer has with Jesus Christ. His every breath is about ...read more

    Even if our kids are old and have families of their own, they still look at us as their father, and their relationship with the God of the Universe is shaped by our character.

    Forgiveness, Celebration, and Embrace Father’s Day June 17, 2012 Intro: I find father’s day quite a difficult day to preach. There are lots of reasons – first is the great diversity in our various experience of father. Some here today had wonderful, affectionate, Godly fathers ...read more

    Treasuring God's Holiness Series

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 7, 2012
     | 5,278 views

    Some things are so surprising they simply shock us. The early church has many such surprises and shocks, one of the biggest of which concerned the generosity of two of her members.

    “Treasuring God’s Holiness” Acts 5:1-11 Some things are so surprising they just simply shock us. The team with the huge lead falls apart in the closing moments and loses. The golfer with only an easy, short birdie putt between himself and the championship, winds up with a double ...read more

    Barriers

    Instead of removing barriers to faith, Jesus erects them. Why?

    The story we have read together today is surprising in many ways. The way Jesus handles this situation is confusing, because some of the things Jesus are saying are upsetting his followers, and it seems that he does not make it easier, but harder for them. Our natural instinct is to take down ...read more

    A Better Place Than Heaven

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 30, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,781 views

    A BETTER PLACE THAN HEAVEN 1 Jn. 2:28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Tom and Matt were best of friends, they played football once a week for 50 years. 2. When they were getting older, they had an argument about whether people play football in heaven. So they agreed that whoever died first would let ...read more
