    Shake Off The Dust

    What does the shaking off the dust represent ? It speaks of being ready to share the gospel, not covered in the dust of the world.

    (1) INTRODUCTION: Earlier the 12 were sent forth with a similar mission (Luke 9:1-6). 12 is the number of the 12 Tribes of Israel and the sending of the twelve is to Israel alone . 70 is the number of nations mentioned in Genesis 10 and so symbolically the sending of the 70 talks of reaching all ...read more

    The Purpose Of It All Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Sep 6, 2004
    based on 54 ratings
     | 6,173 views

    The purpose of the church is to become: 1. A Faith-centered community. 2. A God-centered community 3. A World-centered community.

    As I read Erwin McManus’ book on the church entitled An Unstoppable Force, I have to say I was hit hard by a statement near the beginning, where he said: “The indictment that we must receive is that the Christian faith as we express it is no longer seen as a viable spiritual option. Masses gave ...read more

    We are appointed to eternal life, and once we’ve responded to God’s call and been saved we are appointed to service.

    This sermon looks at Pauls message and identifies 15 things he says God is.

    Life can be pretty hectic. Family, church, work, school, sports, and hobbies can all seem to overwhelm us at times.

    Paul’s first missionary journey is a model for our own missionary endeavours in the modern world. God continues to call us to preach the gospel for thesame reasons as he did Paul.

    Why do Mission? One of the questions often asked by Christians over the last 30 or so years has been the question, "Why should we still be sending people out to preach the gospel to other nations and cultures?" Sometimes the question is asked in a slightly more negative way: e.g. "Do we have ...read more
