     | 12,254 views

    This lesson introduces this series by examining Matthew 16:13-19, showing that Jesus is the builder, architect, and owner of His church.

    Whenever we look at the religious landscape today that is known by the word “Christianity,” it seems clear that what we see is so different than what we see in the Bible. We see multiple denominations that teach different, and at times, contradictory things. Of course, when teachings ...read more

    Elijah And The Woman With Sticks (A Mothering Sunday Sermon) Series

    God will always find a way to speak to us. Sometimes it's a verse of scripture. Sometimes it’s a song. Sometimes it’s His voice we hear. Sometimes He will use a person. For this woman, God brings the prophet Elijah into her life.

    Today is Mothering Sunday and in many places around the world the focus will be on mothers. I think it is fair to say that simply having children does not make a woman a mother. Abraham Lincoln said: No one is poor who has a godly mother Napoleon said, “The future destiny of a child is the work of ...read more

     | 2,489 views

    An unpacking of the command to ’judge those within the church’ in 1 Corinthians 5

    1 Corinthians 5 ’Christ-shaped judgment’ It is always hard to speak on judgment. No one likes to hear about it. We like to hear about love. But love’s not the only topic in the Scriptures. We’ve got to hear all that God is saying in the bible, and so we’ve got to hear about judgment. And here ...read more

     | 7,862 views

    God’s Holy Spirit is willing to fill every believer but sometimes Christians don’t know that God’s rich resources are available. Some people put their umbrellas up and therefore stay very dry whereas God wants to deluge them with his Spirit. If we’re open

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 24, 2012
     | 5,621 views

    This talk was from early December 2012 as feedback from my Sabbatical. The question in my mind was, "How do we run the race when we can’t run?" I spent time talking to and reading books by people with various impairments. This is some of what I learned.

    For the purposes of this morning I’m going to assume that none of you knows about the illness that left me almost bed ridden for 7 months back in 2008. I’ve only met some of you recently and so that seems to be the best way to proceed. When I visited Kenya recently I said, “I have 1 wife and 3 ...read more
