     | 14,237 views

    Complaining in self-pity is a practice that hurts the heart of God, influences others to do the same, and results in God’s judgment.

    God’s Contempt Of Complaint Text: Num.11: 1-3 Intro: Complaining is an activity all of us have participated in at one time or another. Most of us utter complaints without even thinking about it. It seems almost natural to vocalize our displeasure when things don’t quite turn out as we think ...read more

    Our confidence is built on the real Jesus who clearly proved to his disciples that his resurrection is real; therefore, his promises are real and his fogiveness is real.

    The Real Jesus Gives Us Real Confidence Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God through which the Holy Spirit strengthens our confidence in Jesus is the account of Jesus’ resurrection appearance recorded in Luke 24:36-49 – While they were still ...read more

    Jesus’ mother, a thief that was crucified with Jesus and the two pharisees who placed Him in the tomb all responded differently to Jesus’death on the cross. How will you respond?

    A Mother, a Thief, and a Pharisee Read John 19: 16-42 Today we are looking at the actual crucifixion of Christ When I came to seriously consider and study for this message I soon realised there were many ways that I could approach the topic. I could do a verse by verse exposition and bring ...read more

    What does it mean for the church today to believe that Jesus is sitting at God’s right hand?

    That power is like the working of his mighty strength, {20} which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, {21} far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age ...read more

    Amazingly the world, entirely, or for an individual, can change dramatically in an incredibly short time. Although this is often hard for us, it’s going to happen again and we look forward to that time.

    It Doesn’t Take Long to Change the World Easter 2003 It doesn’t take long to change the world in very dramatic ways. “The 1989 Armenian earthquake needed only four minutes to flatten the nation and kill thirty thousand people. Moments after that deadly tremor ceased, a father raced to an ...read more

    Through faith in Christ, we are God’s children and members of his household.

    The other day I was playing with my sons. We were building a house out of blocks. Up and up the structure went until it would reach a certain point, and, then it toppled over. So we’d start over. Higher and higher the blocks would go until they fell over. This happened a couple of times and ...read more

     | 4,470 views

    The demonstrations on Palm Sunday show that good and evil cannot coexist easily; but there is always room for those who repent and receive grace.

    Today the city is jammed with people who have come to demonstrate. They have a point of view, and they intend to speak their minds. It may be crowded, it may be inconvenient, it may disrupt business; but the issues are too important. The demonstrators will speak their minds, they will march for ...read more

     | 17,865 views

    Repentance is a term that isn’t used outside the church. However, many within the church do not understand it’s meaning either.

    14Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” (New King James Version) Lillian Pearsall of Moravia, N.Y. tells this story of when ...read more

    based on 28 ratings
     | 6,452 views

    There appears to be the themes of persecution in verses 1-3 and evangelism in verses 4-8. But I want to suggest that this entire passage is primarily all about evangelism!

    WHY ARE WE HERE? pt 1 Acts 8:1-8 Introduction Two elderly couples were enjoying conversation when one of the men asked the other, ‘Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?’ ‘Outstanding, they taught us all the latest psychological techniques: visualisation, association, ...read more

    based on 20 ratings
     | 4,016 views

    Jesus teaches us to be careful about our speech because it has a direct bearing on what we do and who we become.

    GOOD CONFESSION We are looking at the teaching of Jesus as found in Mark 4. THE JEWISH METHOD OF REPETITION As we look at the teaching we see that there is some repetition, and this is because Jesus was always repetitious. He said that it is out of the mouth of two or three witnesses that ...read more

    Christ’s Principles of Evangelism (Matthew 10:5-42)Let us remember that we have to obey and trust Christ and His priniciples for evangelism to achieve success.

    Christ’s Principles of Evangelism (Matthew 10:5-42) Quote:It is easy to determine when something is aflame. It ignites other material. Any fire that does not spread will eventually go out.
