    “Living Sacrifices” June 13, 2010 Romans 12:1-8 1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the ...read more

    Matthew 8:1-4 - Part 1 - When My Worship And His Willingness Collide! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 20, 2010
    based on 37 ratings
     | 18,594 views

    IT'S A COLLISION OF WORSHIP AND WILLINGNESS, OF SURRENDER AND SOVEREIGNTY. As I bow before Him as my Lord and Master, and articulate to Him what only He can do in my life, Jesus says "I am willing" and another mountain is moved.

    Matthew 8:1-4 - Part 1 - WHEN MY WORSHIP AND HIS WILLINGNESS COLLIDE! I was a big kid in primary school. I matured before most other boys, and towered above them. Most kids stayed away from me. It didn't help when at 14, I grew a beard. Further alienation, this time from my teachers who thought I ...read more

    Matthew 8:5-13 When My Belief And His Authority Collide Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 23, 2010
    based on 45 ratings
     | 35,833 views

    DOES THIS MEAN THAT I CAN BELIEVE FOR OTHERS TO BE HEALED even if they don't have the faith? It seems to say this to me. Does it to you? But even more importantly is who I have faith in - JESUS, WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO HEAL.

    Matthew 8:5-13 WHEN MY BELIEF AND HIS AUTHORITY COLLIDE! The first person that Jesus heals as recorded in Matthew was an outcast - a person with leprosy and Jesus told him to keep it a secret. The second person is someone of low social status - a servant. These are people who are the forgotten ...read more

    Respecting Human Ecology Series

    The real problem with environmental movements is that they begin with the earth, not with God's image and earth's steward--human beings.

    March 8, 2010 Caritas in Veritate The role of prophet is not and should not be an easy one. Human beings are, because of our fallen condition, rebellious and resistant to change. When someone tells us we are on the wrong path, we reflexively become defensive. “Who is he to tell me what I ...read more

    THe conversation at the dinner given in Jesus honor.

    The gathering of friends and enemies John 12: 1-11 I went to one of those restaurants where they tell you to sit at the bar while you have to wait for them to get your table ready. I think it’s just a gimmick to try and get you to have a drink or a salad or something, but rather ...read more

    Christmas Journeys: The Magi Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2014
     | 4,802 views

    We ought to take our cue – not from Herod, who rejected God’s gift of Jesus – but from the wise men, who received it with glad and thankful hearts.

    This is the last of our series on the theme of Faces at the Manger. We started with Joseph, remember, and we continued with the angels, the shepherds, and Mary, the mother of our Lord. And now we conclude with the wise men, or the magi, as they are sometimes called. Technically, they did not ...read more

    Patterns And Motivations For Giving

    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,782 views

    How can we not be generous when Christ gave His very Self? We give thanks to God for His indescribable gift.

    2 Corinthians 8:1-12. By the grace (charis = gift) of God, the Macedonian church had been particularly forward in giving (2 Corinthians 8:1-4). Paul challenged the Corinthians to demonstrate their love by also sharing in this grace of giving (2 Corinthians 8:7-8). The pattern of Christ's ...read more

    What is speaking in tongues? How does the Holy Spirit want tongues to operate in the church?

    "In the beginning, God..." God introduces Himself that mankind might know Him and honour Him as God.

    “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” [1] Allah? Vishnu? A god within? Jesus? Who is God? The Apostle has taught us, “Although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many ‘gods’ and many ...read more

    “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other” Gal. 5:16-17.

    Walk faithfully in the Lord Text: 2 Kings 2:6-14; Gal. 5:13-25; Luke 9:51-62 Man is a spirit, he possesses a soul and he lives in a body. The body can be likened to the clothes we wear.

    God owns it all, we are given so much, why is it an issue that we hold on for grim death to all we have when its to be shared? My cowardly approach to addressing these issues is to use the brillant Lutheran Scholar Dr Harry Wendt's material "In Heaven

    Looking For A Perfect Christmas

    We cannot try to make Christmas Perfect with our own efforts. There is one thing that is perfect in Christmas. We got to be able to focus on that perfect thing in Christmas.

    We are into yet another Christmas Season. And immaterial of the number of times we have done Christmas before, and have failed, we still want to do things right. We want to make all possible efforts to make things as perfect as possible. We buy the perfect clothes, we look for the perfect gifts for ...read more

    What Do I Get Out Of It???

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 5, 2017
     | 4,800 views

    The phrase "What do I get out of it" seems to embody the reason for church attendance for many people who claim Christianity as their faith today. Is the body of Christ, the church, supposed to be a vehicle to make me happy for my own sake?

    Please open your Bibles to Romans 12:3-8 which we will read in a few minutes. Why on earth would anyone want to join a church? You don’t need to officially join a church to be saved and joining a church doesn’t save you. So, what’s the big deal? With that in mind let’s go ahead and read: Romans ...read more

    It is God’s will for us to be well. Jesus employed many different methods as He worked healing “in” broken people. God is not bothered with the limitations of man. He is God!
