     | 5,191 views

    This is week three of my seven part series based on Andy Andrews book "The Travler’s gift" This week is the active decision and we look at Peter walking on the water.

    The entire world just disappeared. One minute it was there and the next minute, there it was gone. Well not really but it seemed like everything else had ceased to exist, and all there was left was Peter, the sea and Christ. It had started off as another boat trip across the Sea of Galilee for ...read more

    This is week five of a seven part series based on Andy Andrews book, the Traveler’s Gift. This week we look at the Joyful decision and how that looks in the beleiver’s life.

    To be like Christ, to be Christ like. That is the goal of most Christ followers, if you ask people who are serious about their faith where they want to go in their spiritual journey they will tell you they want to become more and more like Jesus. But what does that mean? One of my favourite ...read more

    It's Better To Be Good Than Fair Series

    Contributed by Phil Smith on Dec 21, 2008
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,216 views

    We spend WAY too much energy trying to balance the books of our relationships. Jesus did not teach us to be fair, but to be good. His birth beautifully illustrates the lesson.

    Php 2:5-11 – ...Christ Jesus: ...being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to ...read more

    Thanks to the book "The Christian Atheist" I gleaned ideas for this sermon. Hell is real, do we care enough to warn others so they do not have to go there?

    The Reality of HELL Rev 20:4-15 As a preacher and chaplain, I’m often confronted by death. One thing I’ve observed is that when someone dies, that person’s loved ones want to believe their relative went to “a better place.” We’ll say things like, “She ...read more

    based on 60 ratings
     | 7,645 views

    All religious books claim to be the word of God, but prophecy sets the Bible apart as having God’s seal of authentication. This section looks at the destruction of Jerusalem and the prophecies that foretold it.

    The Destruction of Jerusalem (Part 6 of 6) At this point we should lay the historic foundation and take some time to look at the destruction of Jerusalem. After Jesus’ triumphant entry, He looked over Jerusalem and wept. Look at Luke 19 41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 ...read more
