    based on 26 ratings
     | 3,803 views

    the light of the gospel impacted on Saul in a way that would lead in the end to the gospel being proclaimed all the way to Rome, to the centre of the Roman Empire, in fact in the Emperor’s palace itself.

    It’s interesting to notice, as we read through these chapters of Acts, from 7 to 10, how there’s a theme of blindness and sight, so reminiscent of the words of Jesus at the end of John 9. [In fact let’s listen to them now.] First Stephen retells the story of the Jewish people and the members of ...read more

    “WHATEVER IT TAKES” 1 Cor. 9:22-23 INTRO – Are we living our lives as individual Christians w/ a “whatever it takes” mentality? Are we willing to do whatever it takes to live our lives for Jesus?

    This is the 2nd in a series of 4 messages that challenge the hearers to do "whatever it takes" to be the people that God has called them to and to help their church be all that God would have it to be.

    “WHATEVER IT TAKES” Luke 4:38-44 INTRO – WWJD – extremely popular a few years ago. Bracelets, t-shirts, bumper stickers – all sorts of things with these letters on them. Had one of these on when on a youth mission trip once. Went into a fast food restaurant. Teenage girl waiting on me saw it ...read more

    Do you love that material object more then God? Do you allow your excuses to win out, instead of being obedient? Matthew 25 starting at verse 32

    ‘GIVING OF YOURSELF” I remember once a friend had told me that she had scrimped her pennies to purchase a heavy wool winter coat.

    The greatest thing that I believe a human being can experience is to be in a situation where it seems completely hopeless and doomed, yet God miraculously steps in and rescues you from it...

    I. Introduction: In this text we see that Peter has been placed in a seemingly hopeless situation. He has been arrested by Herod and placed in prison, awaiting his trial to take place after the passover. But in the midnight hour, when it seemed all hope was gone, God showed up & showed out, and ...read more

    9th in long series on Joshua, 2nd of 2 on mass circumcision in ch.5. This deals with being a part of a family, using the well-used illustration of a flock of geese.

    Joshua 5:1-9 – Family Ties (Nowheres near an original thought, but good nonetheless...) Today I’d like to do something different. Today’s a bit different from most, so I’m putting a twist on my scripture today, out of the ordinary for me anyway. Let’s read Joshua 5:1-9. So the Israelites ...read more

    Lawnmowers Or Motorcycles?

    based on 81 ratings
     | 9,634 views

    A sermon that shows the more risks one takes, the more one is fulfilled in life. And, the more risk a Christian takes for Christ, the more fulfillling His walk with the Lord will be.

    The word “walk” in the Bible often symbolizes the way in which we live; the way we act; and the way we conduct ourselves. It often depicts life as a journey, and it shows that Christians are people who travel around to other places. To ‘walk by faith’ is actually to live in the ’confident ...read more
