     | 18,476 views

    Many of the churches -- and by churches, I mean Christians -- have forgotten the church is meant to thrive outside the walls of the church house by serving others and by being a means of God’s Grace. It is time for the Church to leave the building.

    TITLE: THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:15 On last Sunday I preached from the subject “THE CHURCH” – this morning I want to continue that message or Part-II and tag this message – “THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.” I remember when I was still relatively young, Elvis ...read more

    Christians have a long-standing tradition of being confused about church leadership and the identity of the Christian lay person. The Corinthian church experienced this problem even in the middle of the first century! Who are we?

    We can learn from the early church how to grow both individually and together.

    Anatomy of a Growing Church Acts 2:41-47 Intro: After Peter had been filled with the Holy Spirit and had preached the sermon we read in Acts 2, 3000 people responded and became followers of Jesus.

    As the season of Advent begins, many people are preparing for Christmas. That’s good, but ...we are primarily being called in this sermon to be alert, to watch, to be awake, preparing for the return of Jesus. So, are YOU awake ?

    I came across a suggested prayer for all preachers this week, and it goes like this: “Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff and nudge me when I’ve said enough.” Well, here we go! Are you ready? Are you prepared? Put your hands up if you are ready and prepared ... did you get done yesterday ...read more

     | 687 views

    A simple yet profound truth: there is power in the cross of Christ. To the unbelieving world, the cross is a symbol of weakness and defeat. But to those of us who are being saved, the cross is not a relic of shame—it is the power of God!

    Go! And Embrace the Power of the Cross - 1 Corinthians 1:18 1 Corinthians 1:18 (NLT): “The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.” Introduction: The Paradox of the Cross Let me begin today with a simple ...read more

     | 42,680 views

    Being in the world can feel like an alien experience. Do we hide under sheets and hope not be detected? Do we marshal our forces in order to "not be part of the world"? Or does Jesus mean more when he says, "Be in the world, but not of it."

    Introduction It was a favorite movie of mine when I was a kid. I can remember it being the first movie I cried during. The movie was E.T. If you have seen the movie (or even if you haven’t) there are some classic scenes that will be remembered. Elliot cutting his finger and E.T. ...read more

    His yoke is easy, His burden is light. For to long, too many people have made it out to be, that serving God, is a burden. Serving God is anything but that, its an adventure, a great adventure, serving God is the time of your life, if you will let it be.

    Serving God, "The Great Adventure" You know, it seems like unrest is the thing that we see the most, in the world today.

    Tonight we will learn about being an Obedient church, and what an obedient church looks like, again it is my desire that compare our church to this biblical model and see how we measure up, and again the challenge will be, if there is any area where we do

    Non Christians asked about friendship and I realised I had preached many a sermon about being friends with Jesus, but I had never preached and I could not find by anyone else, a sermon about how to be friends with our fellow human beings

    We have no way of knowing just when "the last days" will be. But the Apostle Paul does have something to say about how we should be living as we face our "last days," whenever that may be.

    Then there are those who have a genuine desire to live a life that is pleasing to God but become discouraged when they aren’t where they want to be. I want you to see God’s call for us to be holy, the obstacles to being holy, and the path of holiness.

    The Struggle to Be Holy Romans 7:14-25 Living the Christian life involves facing both conflict and struggle. You cannot live the Christian life without being confronted with such.

    The word 'deceive' in its various forms occurs 87 times in the NIV. Deception is a dangerous thing; both in being deceived as well as being the one doing the deceiving. So let's find out how can we avoid the trappings of falling into either side of it.

    THE DANGERS OF DECEPTION (part one) A man was standing on the street corner looking pitiful in his dark glasses and shabby clothes, holding a tin cup.
