    Salt & Light

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Feb 6, 2011
    based on 15 ratings
     | 13,915 views

    1. Jesus was telling us not to live for the kingdom of the world, but the Kingdom of God. 2. Jesus is saying that we play an important role in the life of the world as salt and light. 3. Jesus was talking about a new way of obedience.

    It is no accident that Jesus talked about us being salt and light immediately after he spoke the Beatitudes. It is in learning how to think as Jesus thought and live as he lived in submissions to God, that we become agents of healing and light in the world. It is when we live as people who do not ...read more

    This is a sermon of God's immeasurable patience with human's incalculable perversion; God's provision of redemption and believer's inheritance; and judgement for unbelievers.

    All believers need times of renewal and revival. How can we get there? 1. Take a new look at God’s world. (vs. 1-6) 2. Take a new look at God’s Word. (vs. 7-11) 3. Take a new look at God’s will. (vs. 12-14)

    Some people fear the end of the world. Others (even preachers) don’t believe Jesus is coming back. Why do some "Christians" think like this? And how should we feel when we think about Jesus’ 2nd coming?

    There are days that can be scary. The sky gets dark, the wind whips through the trees and there is a feel of danger in the atmosphere around you. Have you ever seen a day like that?

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,151 views

    One of the most amazing privileges of believers is access to God through prayer. We all face trials and tribulations but praying will help us overcome. Why? Because a praying saint can lay down in trouble and wake up to a miracle. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

    Subject - Effective Fervent Prayer Invites Divine Intervention Scripture - Acts 12:5-11 “So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. 6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries ...read more
