    One of the most controversial elements of this winter’s Olympics has been Canada’s "Own the Podium" program.

    Rightly Dividing The Word:

     | 13,435 views

    God has given us His Word and we’re to be careful not to try and make His Word fit what we may have heard down through the years just because we may have heard or been taught certain things about the Bible according to what Grandpa may have said.

    RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD: 2ND Tim. 2:15 Today I’ll talk for a little while about rightly dividing the WORD. And let me say here at the very beginning that I’m certainly not a Bible scholar by any means, but I do believe that God has given us His Word and we’re to be ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,336 views

    REWARDS IN HEAVEN. Somehow that seems wrong to me. Surely heaven is enough reward and besides, if all sin is regarded as the same and deserving of hell, how can good deeds then be rated on a scale, and rewarded accordingly?

    Matthew 6 – Part 1 – FORGET THE REWARDS, I’LL DO IT FOR FREE! Everywhere I look people offer me rewards if I buy this or shop at their store, or buy petrol at certain petrol stations. I am rewarded on my credit card if I buy a certain amount using their card. People at the Super ...read more

    Saved From Shallow Religion Youth Sermon

    Jesus saves us from sin and shallow religion. He teaches us to practice our faith in private, not for public approval, but to build a solid core of self-giving love.

    Today we're going to talk about how Jesus saves us from sin and shallow religion. You know, the kind of religion that's all about showing off and not about what's really going on inside of us. Let's start with a little object lesson. I want you all to imagine a cup. Now, this cup looks super shiny ...read more

    Storming The Gates Of Hell

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Oct 24, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 165 views

    The Church was never meant to be a museum of saints but a barracks for soldiers. We were not called to maintain comfort, status, or cultural approval—but to advance the Kingdom against the very gates of Hell.

    Matthew 16:18–19 (NKJV) “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on ...read more

    Be ready! It's a repeated theme in Scripture. But what should I do to get ready for heaven?

    (I opened by singing 2 verses of an old hymn "There's A Great Day Coming") “There’s a great day coming, a great day coming. There’s a great day coming by and by. When the saints and the sinners will be parted right and left, Are you ready for that day to come?” CHORUS: Are you ready? ...read more
