    Dealing With Spear Throwers

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Jul 9, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,580 views

    Recently had to deal with a bitter root that showed up in church. I had been reading Tale of 3 Kings just prior. Decided to speak about the Saul in me, rather than the Saul in others.

    Dealing With Spear Throwers PPT 1 Message Title In John 14:2 Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you." That verse primarily concerns heaven, but I want to take the thought of a prepared place and alter it slightly to say that not only does God prepare a place for us, but He also prepares us ...read more

    we are called to be a light into the life and teachings of Jesus

    You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel ...read more

    Sensing God - Taste Series

    This sermon continues the series on using all our senses to experience and live in relationship with God. The focus here is for us to taste that God is good, and for us to leave a good taste in the lives of not-yet-believers.

    Taste is a very powerful sense. The power of taste is something that I am very familiar with because we grew up in a Dutch-background household which meant we had salted liquorice in our house. For those of you who are familiar with liquorice … well you know you are experiencing something like ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,855 views

    It may seem impossible to please a perfect, all-knowing, holy God but there is a way, & that way is faith. The actions of these OT saints shows that faith pleases God & that He rewards all those who seek & follow Him by faith.

    HEBREWS 11:4-7 FAITH THAT PLEASES GOD [LEAVING A LEGACY SERIES] [Genesis 4:3-7; 6:13-20; Genesis 5:21–24] The author now encourages his readers further by reminding them of examples of faith in earlier days.

    Antipas: The Perverse And Putrid Puppet Ruler Of Galilee Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 12, 2021
     | 3,538 views

    The story of Herod Antipas is one of treachery, murder, lust, cowardice, deceit, and perversion. He was responsible for the murder of John the Baptist and ridiculed Jesus on the day of His execution. The family of Herod had no redeeming qualities and are examples of unredeemed humanity.

    It would make sense to say that the ministry of the Lord Jesus was attracting a great deal of attention and some scrutiny by virtue of His wondrous teachings, His compassion to all who came to Him in faith and trust, the way He handled the criticisms and pettiness of the Pharisees, His ability ...read more
