    Nehemiah called all the people to come together before the Lord for a time of celebration and dedication. This was also a time of worship, as the people called for Ezra to bring the Word of God and read it in their midst. Their worship was centered in the Word.

    It is not the high-powered executive, a celebrity or a prominent politician who receives honor in the eyes of God, but the Christian who lives for Christ and serves him.

    As we approach the end of one year and the beginning of another, it is a fitting time for personal reflection. In our fast-paced world, it is easy to continue doing what we have always done without pausing to consider if we need a change of direction. This is especially true in our spiritual lives, ...read more

    Thanksgiving Turns Us Inside Out Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008
     | 3,061 views

    When our mind is set up on the things of the Spirit, we will be “outward focused.” When our mind is set upon the things of the flesh, we re “inward focused.” Thanksgiving directs our attention toward God.

    1. Review of Inside Out a. We are selfish, self-centered and self-absorbed. b. We turn to meeting our own needs and our own wants all too easily. c. God doesn’t want us to be that way. i. How do I know that? Because that is what is at the core of what we call sin – self. ii. If you think about this ...read more

    In response to the temptation to throw himself into the rat race called material satisfaction, Jesus finds a calm centre, an anchor in the word of God. That centered faith will enable him to deal with all the other temptations to come.

    The prayer of Antioch got God’s attention in a big way, but we’re not told what they prayed. What can this unique prayer teach us?

    OPEN: A 5-yr-old said grace at family dinner one night. "Dear God, thank you for these pancakes." When he finished his prayer, his parents looked curiously at him and asked him why he thanked God for pancakes when they were having chicken.

    based on 70 ratings
     | 17,688 views

    This sermon involves Bartimaeus’ willingness to shout out because of a need in his life. We must be willing to shout or cry out to the Lord as well to get Jesus’ attention.

    Are We Willing To Shout? NLF 7/29/2001 Joshua 6:8-20 Luke 17:11-19 Text Luke 18:35-43 Shouting is a natural thing we do to either get someone’s attention or to express our approval and excitement.

    Thought that might get your attention. The debate about the goodness of man rages, as does the arguments for the existence of God. Paul takes on both in this very hard hitting section.

    How can you know you are dying unless someone tells you ‘you have a terminal disease’? How do you know you need to be set free unless someone tells you ‘you are a captive’? How can you tell something is wrong unless someone tells you what is right? That’s the essence of the rest of Romans 1. Before ...read more
