    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,784 views

    Walking may be a passtime for some, but walking with God must be a vocation for the man or woman of God who is seeking the best that the Lord has for their life.

    Walking with God Genesis 5:21-24 21 ¶ And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: {Methuselah: Gr. Mathusala} 22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five ...read more

    An Overview Of The Book Of Joel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 15, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,257 views

    We cannot change the past: but in Christ, God restores to us what would have been had we not allowed sin an entrance (Joel 2:25).

    AN OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF JOEL. Joel 1-3. The name Joel means ‘Yahweh is God’ or perhaps ‘Whose God is the LORD’. There is no doubt that Joel's God is the LORD: not only on account of his given name, but also because of his courage in confronting Israel and the nations with a far-reaching ...read more

    Twentieth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Year C-- Fire

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2025
     | 129 views

    Fire, judgment, separation, crisis, – can bring a new opportunity for growth in faith.

    Lodgepole pinecones are very compact, and they will only open to disperse their seeds under intense heat, as in a forest fire. We hear a similar idea today in our Gospel that fire means judgment, which results in separation, creating a crisis, but which also means opportunity. So, fire, ...read more

    Thirty-Second Sunday in Course 2022 Every week we rise together and recite one or the other professions of faith, either the Apostles’ Creed or the Niceno-Constantinopolitan.

    Spiritual Armor For Spiritual War

    based on 37 ratings
     | 22,011 views

    Unfortunately, most of us don’t know the first thing about fighting the kind of war in this scripture. For, as Ephesians 6:10-12 says, it’s not a battle of flesh and blood, but of the spirit.

    Spiritual Armor for Spiritual War "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." -- (Ephesians 6:12) Unfortunately, most of us don’t know the first thing about ...read more

    Last Hours Of Jesus' Life - Free From Passivity

    Contributed by Joanne Chan on May 18, 2018
     | 5,490 views

    In this sermon, we look at how the people mocked Jesus as he walked toward the hill of Golgotha, and contrast that with his encounter with Simon from Cyrene to see what it really means to carry the cross for Jesus.

    Central theme: Jesus denied himself and took the punishment for us with total dedication. We should take up the cross and follow Jesus, which means denying our old self (our comfort, your desires) and live for God because God is leading us to an even better place. Opening: Think of a place ...read more
