    The Abundant Life

    based on 79 ratings

    A close look at what the God-promised abundant life is and what it means for us as Christians.

    Christ said in John 10:10 “I came that they might have life, and might have it more abundantly.” I think we can easily find Christians who don’t seem to be different from the rest of the world. I bet it would be difficult to pick them out as Christians at a party or a ball game. This is part of ...read more

     | 23,106 views

    Three lessons stand out in the story of the rich "Fool", that if applied, will enable us to have a "Wise Thanksgiving"

    HOW TO HAVE A WISE THANKSGIVING Luke 12: 13-34 Intro: My message to you this morning is entitled, "How to have a wise thanksgiving". In my preparation I came across this story that may speak to numbers of you this morning as you are busy making your plans and preparations for Thanksgiving. A ...read more

    Your Love Quotient Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 20, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,632 views

    The greatest commandment is to love God, and the second is to love people. What does it mean to truly love God with all our heart?

    It is not easy to sum up all the commandments that govern life in one or two sentences, but Jesus did it. It is amazing! Think about it. If you get these commands right, you’ll get the rest right. Jesus says (in Matthew’s version), “All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” ...read more

    Behold Your King

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Dec 5, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,168 views

    It is time to trade in our childish view of Jesus, meek and mild, for the adult vision of Jesus the conquering King.

    Introduction: The last book of the Bible, called the Revelation of Jesus Christ, is a beautiful and dangerous book. It always has been. It still is. The original author was Jesus’ closest earthly friend and perhaps one of his cousins. His name was John and the visions recorded in this book are ...read more

    When One Is Better Than A Crowd

     | 4,035 views

    The church is one body and not many and yet unity is often hindered by such "diseases" as pride, self-sufficiency, ignorance and laziness. To "heal" we need first to die to ourselves and surrender to Christ who will change us.

    This week I heard devastating news from a friend of mine who will soon be ordained as a pastor. His son was just diagnosed with cancer. This is a young man, 18 years old, graduating from high school in just a few months and having to now face stage three cancer. It’s heart wrenching – ...read more

    Having Power With God

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 26, 2012
    based on 13 ratings
     | 16,605 views

    Most spend their lives living nominal Christian lives with little or no power. If you and I desire to be more than mundane believers and to have power with God I believe we need to have four key elements – humility, faith, perseverance, and holiness.

    Having Power with God Genesis 32:22-30 Jacob spent a night encountering God. At the end of that night his name was changed from “Jacob” which means “supplanter”, “heel catcher”, or “deceiver” to Israel meaning “having power with God”. Jacob was changed. No longer was he going to live his way. As ...read more

    Follow The Call Series

     | 5,424 views

    This is the 5th of our series on Action in Acts. We look at the charges against Peter, how he did not seek to justify himself but share what God was doing, and how we are called to focus on what is truly important.

    Action – Follow the right voice (5:17-42) Have you noticed how there seems to be people making stands for all sorts of things in life? There are thousands of causes, and there are people fighting for all sorts of things. Even within the “church” community, there are people with ...read more

    The important place of prayer in the Christian's life.

    The Scripture this morning contains two entirely different stories which seem unrelated, but, in fact, have much the same message. The first is an early meeting of Jesus with Peter, James and John before they became disciples. They had worked all night with all the skill of professional ...read more

    Have you ever stopped to consider how important timing is to everything that exists? Do you plant tomato plants in November? Outside? Do you paint the outside of your house in January? Does any sane person go swimming in the icy River in February? No? Why

     | 6,900 views

    The Bible is screaming to be read not just to inform us but to form us. It can change our lives if we'll just let it.

    READING THE BIBLE FOR LIFE CHANGE Isaac Butterworth October 31, 2010 Hebrews 4:12-13 (NIV) 12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 ...read more

    based on 44 ratings

    The Valley is a reality but it is only temporary. We are called to go through the Valley, not to dwell, to stay in it. The Valley will make you or break you. Beloved let the valleys transform you into the image of Christ. (Updated April 2018)

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service there a four Scripture readings that proceed the Message.

    It is amazing how genuine kindness and love touches others! Equally amazing to me is why we fail to express love or receive love until the most desperate kind of circumstances sweep over us.
