    “If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is ...read more

    This sermon looks at the impact hatred and anger have in our lives, the Lord’s response, and how Jesus can transform us from Hatred and Anger to Love and Self-Control.

    A young boy was walking with his friend when out of nowhere a giant Rottweiler dog jumped out from behind a fence and began to pounce on one of the young boys.

    based on 72 ratings
     | 35,170 views

    It is easy to be tired of church if church does not connect with integrity, compassion, or fundamental life change. But you will not grow weary if you will work for the good of all.

    Several years ago I officiated at a wedding at National Cathedral. At the rehearsal an official of the Cathedral explained why the service would be held in just the Great Choir of the Cathedral, and not out on the main floor, and why we would have to be exactly on-time, no exceptions. He said that ...read more

    The Gift Of Tongues Series

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Jul 20, 2004
    based on 37 ratings
     | 5,166 views

    This is a Scriptural examination of the gift of tongues. The Word of God defines the gift as well as describes its purpose, proper usage and active duration within the Church.

    Of all the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, none has provoked more interest and fascination than that of the gift of tongues. This is not only true of the last one hundred years, with the advent of Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement, but even in the 1st Century as is evidenced by the ...read more

     | 22,565 views

    In this message, we will see that God gives people influence so we can come to know Him better. In knowing Him, we’ll be able to better handle both the well-being and the calamity that comes our way as people of influence.

    “Why did God make me? Why am I here? Why do I have the influence that I have?” I’m betting that you have wrestled with these questions. For most of you in this room, God has given you some measure of influence. You may be a teacher, a coach, a mom, a dad, a boss, an officer in a club, a ...read more

    Since you and I can’t be Crowned “Till death shall set me free and then go home,” I thought it would be profitable and pertinent to probe this Interim Period of Delay. And so the Question is: WHAT MUST YOU AND I DO WHILE WAITING TO BE CROWNED? I wonder, a

    “Must Jesus bear the cross alone, and all the world go free? No, there’s a cross for everyone, and there’s a cross for me. The consecrated cross I’ll bear till death shall set me free; And then go home my crown to wear. For there’s a crown for me.” I feel led of God the Holy Spirit to address this ...read more

    based on 57 ratings

    Psalm 51 is, in a sense, the redemption of 2 Samuel 11 and 12. So too, confession is one of the significant steps in our redemption.

    SEX & LIES What do Bill Clinton, Shane Warne and I/you have in common? It’s not our cricketing prowess - after all, Bill has probably never played the game.
