The Beautiful Side Of Death

Contributed by Rule Digal on Aug 11, 2008

We think of death as a loss –a loss of a great life, a loss of a beloved person. Death is nothing but losing. But that is not what the bible says about death. There is a verse in the word of God that says, “Death is gain.”

Theme: The Beautiful Side of Death Text: John 11 Introduction A. I’d like to extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family of Allan. We want you to know that our heart is with you in these times of sorrows and pain. It’s really painful. It’s really a tough time when a loved one died. ...read more

Hanging In There Before Impossibilties Series

We Stand On Guard For Thee!

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on May 7, 2006

The seed of all actions and behaviour are born in the mind and it is the birth of these thoughts that give permission to our deeds and choices. If we can guard the mind, claiming the capacities of intellect for God, there is nothing that can defeat us!

Title is taken from our National Anthem – e.g. we’ll stand on guard for Canada! I’ve borrowed the line in reference to our pledged allegiance to guard our minds for God. Our minds belong to him; our bodies belong to him; the seed of all actions and behaviour are born in the mind and it is the ...read more

Becoming A True Follower Of Christ

Contributed by Moy Hernandez on Oct 26, 2009

Being a true follower of Christ has nothing to do with position or status or even commitment to one thing or another, but it all has to do with our attitude and how we adopt them to those of Christ.

For far too long we have misunderstood or maybe just misread this passage of scripture known as The Great Commission. Our interpretation and understanding has told us that we need to get people saved and them bring them into our church membership. In only doing this we in turn commit a great ...read more

Three Crosses

Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jul 9, 2010

Often romanticized, bejeweled, and loved as beautiful – but symbol of the cross was nothing of the sort when Jesus met it two thousand years ago. It was the most hideous, damnable, obscene instrument of death one could imagine.

“exposing The Enemy”

Contributed by James Lee on Nov 4, 2012

In 2009 a Barna report stated that 40% or 4 out of every 10 Christians believe that Satan is nothing more than a symbol of evil. They say that Satan does not exist and that is exactly what he wants.

False God Or True Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 14, 2014

Contributed by Jim Mccutchen on Nov 8, 2013

The ushering in of the church of our Lord knew nothing of prayerless pews and lame excuses. The early Church began in that upper Room with about 120. They were in one accord, in one place lead by one Spirit.

It all Began on Pentecost! Intro: As we travel thru the book of Acts our first stop will be Acts Chapter two. This is where the Church began. What was the message of the church? What was the purpose of the church. How did the church come about? How relevant is the church? All these ...read more

One Bad Accounting

Contributed by Steven Haguewood on Jul 6, 2011

How Does It Look To You Now?

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Nov 7, 2011

There was no way they could restore the temple to its former glory; it would be nothing in comparison to King Solomon’s temple. It is at this point that God began to teach them, it is not about how impressive the Sanctuary is.

TITLE: HOW DOES IT LOOK TO YOU NOW? SCRIPTURE: HAGGAI 2:3-7 Our scripture text this morning is a difficult book to find in the Old Testament.
