    Jesus came to do more than stir our emotions: He intends that the whole person be renewed in his image; mind, body, soul and spirit by following the traditions of faithful devotion to Christ and the discipline outlined in Scripture.

    Proper 17 (B) who may dwell in your sanctuary Deuteronomy 4:1-9 Moses said, “And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the rules that I am teaching you, and do them, that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you.

    Win The Day - Kiss The Wave Premium Sermon

    Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 765 views

    This sermon explores the concept of taking the first step of faith, using the story of Nahshon from the Exodus, who courageously led the Israelites forward even when there seemed to be no way.

    There is a legend in Judaism about a man named Nahshon. He only gets one begat in the Bible. Of course, that’s one more than you and me! He is the great-great-great-grandfather of King David. He disappears almost as soon as he makes his debut, but Nahshon is credited with saving the nation of ...read more

     | 191 views

    In a world torn between nationalism and globalism, where leaders promise perfection through purging "bad actors" or uniting under one system, the ancient stories of Noah’s Ark and the Tower of Babel speak with startling relevance.

    Will you be ashamed when God tests your knowledge of the Word, both the written and living?

    The Inherited Church Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 16, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,722 views

    To accomplish the task of evangelising our world, we must work as though our congregation was new. New churches have a vibrancy that can be lost as we grow older. In time, if we don't take care, we will have an "inherited church" rather than a vibrant, living congregation.

    “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete ...read more

    The church is for far more than empty ceremony on occasions demanded by tradition; it is the steward of new life, with a rich and full experience that employs the diversity of gifts God has given it.

    Last week you seemed to get a big charge out of my little story about going to a wedding rehearsal and wasting time waiting for a key person to arrive. When I said that I didn’t know what we’d do on Sunday afternoon if he didn’t show up, you let out a belly laugh. You assumed I was talking about ...read more

    Answers the question: Are you a bold pioneer who is exploring new non-traditional ways of expressing faith and interacting with the Body of Christ - or are you just skipping church and quietly backsliding?

    This passage gives us the dynamic example of Jesus washing feet. How can Jesus lay aside the traditional power structures to be able to live like that? The answer is in this passage.

    PETER'S EMPHATIC "NO": Peter was deeply offended by Christ’s offer because he was still thinking of a traditional power structure. - John 13:6-10a. - The disciples were still expecting the inaugural of a traditional kingdom. - Rome was going to be overthrown, the Jewish nation was ...read more
