    Enoch Walked With God Series

    Contributed by Stephen Wright on Apr 13, 2003
    based on 64 ratings
     | 32,929 views

    Introduction to series of 4 studies in the life of Enoch, focussing on his walk with God

    Enoch In Genesis 5 time after time we read, “And he died.” Eight times in all. It seems a depressing genealogy that we can quickly skip over.

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Aug 26, 2003
    based on 84 ratings
     | 21,002 views

    The Tower of Babel is a life parable telling of the dangers of the Spirit of the Age - Poverty of Spirituality and Pride of Life - and the chaos it brings which only Christ’s redemption can right.

    The story of the Tower of Babel is a sad description of breakdown of fellowship, growing isolation and confusion. It all results from human beings’ failing to live in dependence on God, becoming proud of their achievements and determined to be the source of their own security. That was the root ...read more

     | 4,945 views

    Without the macroscopic and microscopic vision of how we are to grow up in all aspects in to Christ, we will fall short of God’s plan for our lives.

    The Problem of Becoming Mature in Many Aspects Ephesians 4:15 Cultural, personal, or circumstantial obstacles are bound to stand in the way of anyone who wants to become mature in Christ. Yet, without maturity we cannot become all that God wants us to be. Neither can we know all that the ...read more

    Many people say the biggest problem we face in the church today is an integrity crisis. It may surprise a lot of us that envy and rivalry and dissentions dates all the way back to the first century church. People preached because they wanted to exalt them

     | 5,309 views

    What happens when the church is ’stuck’? Do we have a word from God to direct us into the future. Explore the state of the church in Laodecia and see if we can’t learn how to be the church today.

    Psalm 96: (Sing to the Lord a new song) Revelation 3: 14-19 (poor Laodicea) WE’RE STUCK! As a teenager I often played the old vinyl music albums of the day and, as they got a little worn, they also got stuck – I’d hear the same few words and the same few notes of maddening music over and over ...read more

    The Parable Of The Sower, The Seed And The Soils

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jul 28, 2005
    based on 127 ratings
     | 69,355 views

    Jesus explains the conditions of entry into God’s Kingdom - He is the Sower, the Seed is His Word and men and women are the Soil, either "Bad-Soil" - along the Path: responding NO; on the Rock: YES & NO; among Thorns: YES BUT; or "Good-Soil" : YES!

    The first recorded parable of Jesus is “The Parable of the Sower” (Matthew 13:1-23) but it’s equally the story of the seed and the soils. Earlier that day He’d had a confrontation with the Pharisees and religious lawyers about His claim to be the Son of Man and the great gulf that separated them ...read more
