Blessed Broken Given - Blessed Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon introduction discusses the metaphor of bread in relation to our lives, focusing on the concept of being 'blessed' by Jesus.

Bread is, in many ways, the perfect metaphor for our lives because it’s common and ordinary, and sometimes cracked and broken. But in ...read more

Who is the church for? Believers or unbelievers? Or to use more contemporary terms - churched or unchurched. Listen today as Pastor Steve addresses who is the church in the midst of the seeker-sensitive movement.

Matthew 18:15-20 – “cross Me And You’ll Regret It?” Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 13, 2016

Forgiving a torn artwork is trivial. What happens when the sin sears its way into your soul and brings devastation to your heart? All I know is that I have been forgiven more than I could hope for in my life and have been tested with offenses where only God’s help enabled me to forgive.

Total Surrender

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Apr 20, 2023

The power of the Holy Spirit deposited in the life of a believer cannot be fully exercised until the believer fully surrenders all to Jesus Christ. We don't need more power, we only need to surrender more to God to put the power in action.

Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.” GOD'S POWER IS AVAILABLE The power of the Holy Spirit deposited in the life of a believer cannot be fully exercised until ...read more

Journey From Death To Life (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 28, 2023

Peter’s brokenness taught him a great lesson about the Lord’s love, faithfulness, forgiveness, and acceptance. Peter had his own journey from death to life. He realized he could not follow Jesus in his own strength. This realization kept him humble and dependent on Jesus.

Last Sunday we spoke about Jesus in the Valley of Kidron, then in the Garden of Gethsemane, and how the whole time He was in God’s will in His journey from death to life. We are coming to the end of Jesus’ earthly journey in the book of John and can see that these last few hours would be the most ...read more

The Church Vs. The Church

Contributed by Jack Russell on Feb 7, 2004

Man’s view of the church is often very different from the one Jesus demonstrated and Paul described.

I can stand anywhere in my back yard and see my church. It sits rather majestically at the apex of our little town. Its stained glass windows chronicle its founders. Inside, a huge chandelier hovers over our pew. I don’t know who appointed us to sit in that particular pew, but it must have been ...read more
