    Turning Whiners Into Winners Series

    based on 66 ratings
     | 11,826 views

    In this message, we’ll learn how simply building a dream team to rebuild something that’s broken isn’t enough; we must anticipate the trainwrecks that can create whining, foster a losing attitude, and derail the rebuilding project.

    I’m going to state the obvious. It’s more fun to win than it is to lose. Winning puts a smile on our faces. But what does it take to win? Quitters never win and winners never quit. Whiners never win and winners never whine. Turning whiners into winners Series: Here’s hope: Rebuilding a ...read more

    Four ways Jesus speaks with authority to break through into our lives.

    One of my favorite movies is the Indiana Jones movie The Last Crusade. It’s the story of Indiana Jones and his father’s quest for the holy grail, the legendary chalice that Jesus used in his Last Supper with his disciples. In one of the final scenes, the ancient temple they’ve found the chalice in ...read more

    This is the fourth in a series of messages I did on the Great Commandment from Mark 12.

    Priority 1 Mark 12:28-34 September 22, 2002 Let My People Think! “Most Christians would rather die than think—in fact, they do!” So said Bertrand Russell, certainly no friend of Christians, but a man who has a point to make.

    Lot's Wife

    : "Remember Lot’s Wife!" Why would Jesus warn His disciples (and us today) to remember Lot’s wife? After all, we don’t even know her name. There must be a powerful lesson for us hidden somewhere in Genesis 19. Let’s take a look!

    Luke 9: 62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."Gen 19: 1 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face ...read more

    God does not mind killing, removing, sacking, sweeping away anything or anyone to satisfy His children.

    Psalm 30:5 “ For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning”.

    Third in a series of three. This message brings the message of CHristmas and Narnia together for a conclusion focusing on Aslan the Roaring Lion.

    ASLAN: TURNING TRAGEDY TO TRUIMPH Eveyone here knows that line from Away in a Manger that says: The cattle are lowing the baby awakes but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. Personally I think that is one of the stupidest lines ever written. Why do so many people insist on taming Jesus? Why ...read more

     | 5,498 views

    Do we want to be as evangelistic as Jesus, then we need to learn what it means to love and accept and give the good news to "the woman at the well."

    What if “the woman at well” shows up at church today? John 4: 4-42 Love this story… 4 He had to go through Samaria on the way. 5 Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the ...read more
