    Wake-up and Fly Right!

    Are You an Eagle or a Kiwi? It’s early morning at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro in southern California many years ago. The coastal fog is dark, damp and thick as I taxi out in my fighter jet. You literally can see only about a plane length in front of you and the only way you can find the duty ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 2,824 views

    This is the second sermon in a series of two from the perspective of The Exchanged Life which seeks to help the believer to see what programmed flesh looks like.

    I want to give you a little more insight into the development of the flesh and attempt to enable you to see more practically what it looks like. But first a little more definition. Langdon Gilkey has pointed out the chief characteristic of flesh as self-centeredness in his statement: ...read more

     | 7,075 views

    This sermon is the second in a series of four entitled "Our Identity In Christ" which seeks to lay an important foundation for growth, maturity and usefulness in the Christian life.

    When you first met “J.E.”, you could tell he was a very angry man. In fact, at age 54 he’d been an angry person for many years. In a Bible study that night, many questions had been raised in his mind. Talking with the leader afterward, J.E. said, “I asked Jesus to be my Savior when I was 9 years ...read more

    Three Things A Pastor wants for His congregation

    Intro: we live in a world of lists. Grocery list, things to do list, radio stations have top ten lists. At Christmas time people put together their wish list.

    Growing In Grace

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Jan 2, 2007
    based on 19 ratings
     | 23,398 views

    This sermon seeks to encourage persons to get off the performance treadmill to experience growth in grace and Christian maturity through an intimate relationship with Christ.

    Most of us have been educated in the “school of performance.” In fact, Shakespeare once said, “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.” From the very beginning of our lives we’re taught that we must perform properly in order to get what we want. There’s a direct ...read more

    The Spirit-Filled Walk: What It Is And Isn't

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Jan 3, 2007
    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,677 views

    This is a sermon on the Spirit-Filled walk from The Exchanged Life perspective that exhorts the believer in such a way that consistency will be your experience in the believer’s walk.

    I shared with you this morning about the Spirit-Filled life in that it’s an abundant and fruitful life. The last principle had to do with the process of being filled. However, I must hasten to add that trying to reduce life in the Spirit to a formula is like trying to capture the wind. It’s a ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,258 views

    need of God’s Spirit to overcome the weakness of the flesh.

    Intro: the more I read the Word of God, the more I realize how totally dependent we are on the Spirit of God to help us gain victory in our lives. Nowhere is this more clearly seen as it is explained in Galatians 5:16-26. Your physical, carnal man produces things, God’s Spirit in you produces ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,068 views

    This sermon, which is the first in a series on "Romans: The Good News of God," introduces the greatest letter ever written, Paul’s letter to the Romans.

    Scripture He was pacing back and forth, thoughtful and expectant. Physically, he was not an impressive man (see for example 2 Corinthians 10:10; Galatians 4:14). He had scars and blemishes all over his body from his various beatings and stonings. His body was weathered and leathered by many years ...read more

    What Star Are You Following?

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jan 6, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,581 views

    Jesus is the "star" of Scripture and he is to be the star of our life. Is it he we are following or a star of our own making?

    “What’s in the stars for you?” Perhaps you remember seeing this huge front-page horoscope in the Edmonton Journal a few days ago. It may seem laughable to us that anyone would live his or her life by the “dictates of the stars” but the fact that the newspaper paid for the information and then gave ...read more
