    Boundless Love (February 23, 2013).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 4,735 views

    God’s love knows no bounds. The audience in the synagogue was ok hearing about God’s love so long as it met with their expectations. When Jesus talked about how God’s love reaches out to even the Gentiles, people in the synagogue got upset.

    BOUNDLESS LOVE Text: Luke 4:21 – 30 There is the story of a preacher whose preaching met with comments of affirmation praise when he spoke about certain sins, like gossip, drinking, lying, cheating, stealing. With the mention of each and every sin, there were people who ...read more

    What might happen if our church were to follow the Starbucks example and temporarily close its doors to examine the way we follow Jesus?

    Starbucks Opens A new Starbucks has opened, of all places, at St. Rita’s Medical Center. We had never tasted Starbucks coffee, so last Wednesday we stopped in to see what it was like. With all the flavors and sizes and prices up on the board, it wasn’t easy to decide what we would order ...read more

    This message calls for Christian Disciples to answer the "Call to Be a Barnabas" by being instruments of encouragement in the lives of others through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

    CALLED TO BE A BARNABAS --ACTS 4:36-38; and II CORINTHIAS 1:3-7 Charles Swindoll shares this story in an issue of Leadership magazine: “On May 24, 1965, a thirteen-and-a half-foot boat quietly slipped out of the marina at Falmouth, Massachusetts, for Falmouth, England.

    The 2nd in a series of building revival. This concerns importance of persistent prayer - in a life and in a church.

    Thank you, Lesley, for addressing us on such an important and Godly topic as prayer. And I thank you for being open enough to the Lord to have Him lay this upon your heart, and then your loving Him enough to act upon it. Last week, I talked about our need to focus on church growth through revival ...read more

    Building relationships means spending time together, and this means more than just once a week. A sermon to encourage personal and corporate growth among the church - with God and each other.

    This is the fourth sermon in a series entitled “Loving others…and letting them know it.” The purpose of this series has been to understand what true Christian love is, as well as specific ways in which we can express that love to others so that they will actually know without a doubt that they are ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,453 views

    Christ our Master has commanded us to baptise disciples rather than baptising rebels to make them disciples.

    “Jesus came and said to [the disciples], ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

    Christ delivers a message to those who are Christian in name only. Being neither zealous for good works nor orthodox in their doctrine, they are lukewarm and sickening to Christ.

    George Barna makes a living through surveys. What makes him unique is that his surveys are on exclusively Christian topics. Although he does poll populations at large, he also does polling on those who profess to be Christian. For millennia, there have been standard benchmarks of orthodoxy. Yet, as ...read more

    This message shares some of my thinking from a brief exploration of the character and place of the small church. I credit a large measure of my thinking to the author of the "Grasshopper Myth" by Karl Vater. I include and credit a number of quotes to him

    Chico Alliance Church Pastor David Welch “The Advantages of the Small Church” Introduction I have wrestled most of my ministry career with the subject of church growth and health; what constitutes success.

    Management Training Series

     | 3,899 views

    One of the transformations that takes place in the life of a Christian is our perspective on material possessions. The scripture teaches that things are gifts from God--to be managed and shared.

    Luke 16:1-13 “Management Training” INTRODUCTION Heroes and antiheroes are a part of life. Parents might encourage their children to be like Oprah Winfrey, Colin Powell, Bill Gates, or Mother Teresa. At the same time, few parents would point to O.J. Simpson as a good role model, or Kenneth Ley ...read more

    As Paul greets the Ephesians believers, he speaks of the connection that being molded by God’s will has to fulfilling our God-given mission.

    The book of Ephesians - carefully, reverently, and prayerfully considered - will change our lives. Perhaps no other book in the New Testament elaborates on the victory we have in Jesus so eloquently as does the book of Ephesians. It is not so much a question of what we will do with this book as we ...read more
