Jesus Begins His Ministry

Contributed by James Snyder on Mar 18, 2013

The focus of the Holy Spirit is a ministry that accents the Jesus-factor in our daily life.

New Wine, New Wineskins Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015

What are we responding to? Is it Jesus as Lord or is it some human religious system? Is our behaviour going to help others discover the good news of Jesus Christ? Will it help us proclaim forgiveness of sins in Jesus’ name?

Bless Like You Never Been Hurt Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Jun 1, 2021

What is our natural response when someone hurts us? I can think of two. The first is to get back at the person in some way for what they have done to us. The second natural response is to say that I will have nothing more to do with them. God's response is that I am to bless them.

It might be easy for some of you to bless a stranger; it might be easy for some of you to bless a family member; it might be easy for you to bless a fellow church member. But I would dare say ...read more
