    A Journey Of Repentance Part 2 – Surrender Series

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on May 11, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,758 views

    Repentance is about surrender, about admitting our helplessness and turning to God for His Spirit to change us, and then cooperating with God in His work. Repentance is about death to sin, about death to self, about making a choice to turn away from sin

    A Journey of Repentance Part 2 – Surrender Romans 6:2-14 February 13, 2005 Intro: Last Sunday I invited you to join me on a journey of repentance. Today, aside from being the day before Valentine’s day, is more importantly the first Sunday in the season of Lent, the period of time we set apart ...read more

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on May 11, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,882 views

    There is a very serious lie rampant in our culture: there is no moral truth, no right or wrong that universally applies. Truth is a person.

    What Is Truth? In But Not Of John 18:28-40 May 22, 2005 Intro: When Pilate met God, he ended up articulating a timeless question. Listen to the story from John 18:28-40 (NLT) “Jesus’ trial before Caiaphas ended in the early hours of the morning. Then he was taken to the headquarters of the ...read more

    The Life That God Blesses Series

    Contributed by Jason Pettibone on May 14, 2007
     | 9,423 views

    I am talking about a life of true blessing, a life marked by prosperity more important than wealth or fame, and a life of eternal significance which God loves to give to those who will walk by faith.

    The Life God Blesses I am convinced of this - “God loves to bless His children!” What do I mean by that? Let me borrow words from Gordon MacDonald who writes – “God desires to pour out on people gracious and uncommon gifts: gifts might include personal affirmation, intimate relationship, ...read more

    The Case For The Resurrection

    Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,638 views

    The evidence for the resurrection is overwhelming. And it’s so important to our faith. If God the Father can’t raise his own sinless Son then he can’t raise us either. But the resurrection is true. And we can prove it beyond any doubt.

    SERMON: The Case for Resurrection (Psalm 19:14) May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Two school children were walking together, and one said to the ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 18,463 views

    Just as the potter molds and shapes the clay into what it ought to be, our heavenly Father molds and shapes us into what we ought to be. He uses our situations and our circumstances to make us more and more into the image of Jesus Christ.

    What Type of Clay Are You Jeremiah 18:1-12  Intro:  I was reading about a teenager named Ron who came from a broken home. When he was 15, he said something terrible to his dad and he ran away. He got into drinking and drugs and partying. But one day, he met someone who told him ...read more

    Modern day Sadducees still teach that a bodily resurrection is unbelievable. For what 3 reasons do they reject a teaching that is so obviously Biblical?

    Easter is not about celebrating Jesus crucifixion it’s about celebrating Jesus resurrection, our focus is not death it’s life. This sermon looks at the effect of the resurrection on Peter & Thomas and us.

    The "begats" are thought to be the most boring parts of the Bible. But are they? What can we learn from what God tells us in these "tedious" lists?

    OPEN: The story’s told of an old Scottish minister who was reading from the opening chapter of Matthew. He started reading, "Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah…" Then it suddenly occurred to him how long this list was and, not certain he wanted to read all of that, he ...read more

     | 24,390 views

    Mary Magdalene was the first to see the risen Christ? Why? Why not Peter, why not one of the other disciples? What made Mary so special that she was the first? What can we take away from her life to apply to ours?

    Mary Magdalene John 20:1-18 Easter isn’t about bunnies and eggs and candy, it’s about the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to continue my series on the Lesser known People of the Bible, but as I sat down and started ...read more
