    God’s goal with Gideon was transformation, as it was with the entire nation of Israel. But after the victory, choices were made that set the nation right back on the same road to destruction. These are choices we can make as well, or avoid.

The information’s unavailable to mortal man. We work our jobs, collect our pay. Believe we’re flyin’ down the ...read more

    Should Christians ever doubt - and what should we do if we do?

    Doubt: Mt 11:1-15 This morning’s Gospel reading shows how doubt comes to that great man of God, John the Baptist. How come you might ask?

    The Gospel: Spirit Led Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 23, 2015
     | 5,678 views

    We have two natures and they are diametrically opposed. The sinful nature verses the spiritual nature. Each nature desires what is contrary to the other. All Christians have this internal conflict. But living by the Spirit brings victory.

    It can be a shocking discovery. It takes place in the slums of our big cities. It takes place in upscale suburban subdivisions. And it is taking place right now inside of your mouth. Maybe you have seen the mouthwash commercials that show the inside of a mouth magnified by one thousand ...read more

    Our work is to win lost souls for Christ. We are to do this by spreading the Good News of the Gospel. We can do this work just by talking to our friends.

    Do you ever get the feeling that time is passing by quickly? Do you ever feel that you have too much to do and not enough time to do it?

    We must remember that this earthly life is not all that there is. We must keep looking beyond our earthly life, which is passing away. We must remain invested in the world in order to do the work God has given us to do.

    Intro: We learned a few weeks ago that the chief business of the church is to worship God. I want to remind you that the main words used to speak of worship in the New and Old Testaments carry the idea of bowing down. Our lives as individuals and as a whole as a church body are to be bowed down ...read more

    Biblical characters can teach us a lot, through their sins and errors in judgment and through their pursuit of God.

    (This is a message that was given at an inner-city mission, mid-week alternative church service in downtown Toronto, Canada) The Bible is full of fascinating characters. They are fascinating because they are very human. Because they are very flawed. Because they, being real people in and of ...read more
