  • The Temptation To Be Perfect Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
     | 4,854 views

    To be perfect as God is perfect, paradoxically, requires us to understand our own weaknesses and failures the way God does, and to love ourselves, despite those weaknesses and failures, the way God does.

    It may sound like a contradiction in terms to have a sermon on the temptation to be perfect. After all aren’t temptations about being imperfect. Doesn’t God want us to be perfect just as he’s perfect? But you know, there is such a thing as the temptation to be perfect. All of us are subject to it ...read more

  • Mountain Top Glory And The Descent Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 15 ratings
     | 12,890 views

    Mountain top experiences are great things, but the test of them is when we come back to the real world, to a broken and hurting world where the glory of God is sometimes hidden. Then the test for us is whether we remember and trust what we’ve discovered o

    What is it about mountain tops that we find so attractive? I don’t mean just the mountain climber who climbs a mountain just because it’s there, but the rest of us. Most people I think have a special feeling for mountains. We talk about the "Mountain Top Experience" don’t we? But what is it that ...read more

     | 4,446 views

    Where do we get our sense of value from - externals or God’s love for us?

    My wife, Di, and I were sitting in the family room watching TV with our daughter, Janet, the other night when suddenly, Janet noticed the new watch Di had got for Christmas. She said with a mixture of awe and new-found respect, "Mum, you’ve got a Fossil watch. That’s so cool!" Well, we’d bought it ...read more

    The third in the series. About not taking risks or chances. Not having faith/trusting in God. Being crippled by fear. Something like that.

    The Seven Habits of Highly Ineffective Christians (3) Embrace the Triangle of Mediocrity Cardiff Heights Baptist Church 16 January 2000 Summer is one of my favourite TV watching times of the year.

  • Be Faithful Series

    Contributed by Scott Weber on Mar 23, 2001
    based on 200 ratings
     | 17,594 views

    Third in a series on Matthew 24 & 25, this message focuses on the mandate to be faithful with what God has entrusted to us since Jesus is coming back and we don’t know when.

    Because Jesus Is Returning . . . "Be Faithful- Matthew 25:14-30" I like reading bumper stickers. Sometimes you get an unusual combination of bumper stickers on one car that give an unintended message. One such combination was funny. One read: JESUS IS COMING! and the one next to it said: ...read more

  • The Hope Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 30, 2001
    based on 202 ratings
     | 79,961 views

    Christmas is hope personified. It highlights the fact that Christianity is essentially a religion of hope.

    Today we began the Advent season by lighting the first Advent candle, the candle of hope. As we heard a few minutes ago, this candle reminds us of the hope God gave His people when He promised to send them a Messiah, a Savior, a Deliverer. The candle reminds us that this promise was fulfilled in ...read more

     | 18,950 views

    How do we order our lives to do the things that are really important, without always feeling rushed and overwhelmed?

    How many of you here this morning consider yourselves to be unbalanced? No, I don’t mean mentally unbalanced. I’m talking about feeling that your life is out of balance, that you’re spending too much time, and money, and energy on some things, and not enough on other things. I’m talking about ...read more

  • God Is Good Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 31, 2001
    based on 76 ratings
     | 54,512 views

    God is good. He always does what is right, and always acts for the good of those who follow Christ.

    How many of you say grace at meals? At our house, we divide it up by days. So on Monday, I give thanks, on Tuesday, it’s my wife, and so on. That arrangement at least eliminates arguments over whose turn it is to pray, although enthusiasm for the task varies considerably. We don’t have a set ...read more

  • Building Community - Value One Another Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 1, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 11,704 views

    As we gain a right understanding of how much worth and value each person has, as we come to see each other the way God sees us, then we will gain an appreciation for one another that will strengthen love and build community.

    This is the fifth and last message in our series on Building Community. In a society that is becoming increasingly fragmented, in which people seem more and more separated from one another, the church can be a refuge. More than a building, more than a Sunday morning meeting, more than an ...read more

    based on 18 ratings
     | 8,852 views

    In the end we will not be able to say "I don’t want to play this religion game." It won’t be about religion, but about relationship with God. As Jesus prepares to go to the cross, He shares His very last teaching, about our lives, and about the end times.

    A professor of a graduate-school class of gifted students included a HUGE amount of material on the midterm exam. Tension in the room built, people were sighing and gasping aloud as they realized how much material they had covered and were expected to recall. The following week, the professor ...read more

    Let’s walk with Israel this week as Jethro returns Moses’ family. We will see Jethro praising Moses’ God above all gods and sacrificing to God. This is something we would do well to always remember.
