    "The Ministry Of Availability"

    Contributed by Ray Scott on Nov 2, 2004
    based on 64 ratings
     | 61,602 views

    God will use what we make available to Him. In the passage in Luke 5:1-11, we see that, even with a smelly, old fishing boat and a broken net, Jesus used what Peter made available for Him to use.

    “The Ministry Of Availability” INTRODUCTION: God has a ministry for every one of His children … NOT JUST the Pastor. EVERY Christian has a ministry … every one of YOU! Not all will be great soul-winners … BUT … we all have a part in leading others to Christ. We are ALL a link in the chain … ...read more

    I began this message showing the video of the Monty Python sketch, The Dead Parrot. Obviously wouldn’t work in many churches. Death isn’t always that funny, as a matter of fact even the passing of a Parrot is seldom amusing. It isn’t always an easy subject to talk about and if you’ll pardon the ...read more

    Pursuing Excellence

    Contributed by Warren Lamb on Mar 23, 2005
    based on 27 ratings
     | 8,344 views

    Even a glimpse at the Life of Jesus Christ makes obvious the fact that God is a God of excellence. A life of excellence is what He has bought for us. What does that mean for us as Christ-followers today?

    “Pursuing Excellence” Mark 4:35-41 As we examine the life of Jesus as it is recorded for us in the four gospels, we get glimpses through windows, as it were. Not every detail of His life and ministry is recorded for us, nor could it be. The Apostle John tells us in John 21:25: “And there are also ...read more

    Sacrifice is a word that few people enjoy hearing about unless it is in baseball. When a runner is on third base and the hitter hits a deep fly ball to left field, he is credited with belting a sacrifice fly to bring the runner home.

    Join Jesus and the two disciples on the road to Emmaus! Let Jesus deal with your disappointments, clear up your confusion, and set your heart on fire.

    Recall with me some of the post-resurrection appearances made by Jesus. Mark’s gospel tells us that early on Easter Sunday Jesus made his first appearance to Mary Magdalene.

    Often we want to make ourselves better but go about it the wrong way. Paul the Apostle gives us tips in how to put off the old nature and put on Christ’s character.

    In chapter 2, Paul focused on the error of elevating the mind above the knowledge of God, and focusing on taming the physical body as a way to righteousness. He chastises the use of external rules and regulations, especially those around following certain ritual days and abstaining from certain ...read more
