    This can be a difficult text to preach if there is current conflict in your church. This treatment moves the application to the spiritual plane where our true enemy is working to discourage and destroy God’s people.

    "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12 Please turn to the person sitting next to you this morning and tell them: "You ...read more

    Jesus said he would make us fishers of men, yet we are like Jonah who was called to preach to the people of Ninevah -- we run away as fast as we can!

    Jonah 3:1-10 Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time: "Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you." Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very important city-- a visit required three days. On the first day, Jonah ...read more

    What will God have you do to help take to Gospel to the whole world. You can do you part. This message was preached at the beginning of our annual Missions Conference 2001.

    What Wilt Thou Have Me To Do Acts 9:6 Reading: Isaiah 6:1-8 Intro: Acts 9:1-6 We are familiar with the Great Commission…..we are going to study it in more detail this evening.

    You Hold The Key

    One can see from these examples of binding and loosing that it means more than declaring something lawful or unlawful by preaching. It also means to confirm the truth by power as Christ and the apostles did.

    You Hold the Key "I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." -- (Matthew 16:19) Matthew 16:19 a [thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven] Not to ...read more

    There's Still Something On You

    Even after the battle has raged - there is still something on you and in you that God can use to his glory. This was also preached (with slight modifications) for a preacher’s anniversary celebration.

    If we were all to just tell the truth to shame the devil, we would have to admit that there are some days that for as much as we appear to have it all together, for as much we look like we have life all worked out there is still some stuff, some circumstances, some situations that come into our ...read more

    I preached this message coming out of a series of revival meetings to challenege our people to stay committed to their God-given task and to keep our church in the center of God’s will.

    Shall Our Work Cease? Nehemiah 6:1-16 I. The Enemy Will Try to Distract a Great Work (v. 1-2) A. The enemy will take notice of a great work 1. He hates obedience 2. He hates commitment B.

    Paul’s first missionary journey is a model for our own missionary endeavours in the modern world. God continues to call us to preach the gospel for thesame reasons as he did Paul.

    Why do Mission? One of the questions often asked by Christians over the last 30 or so years has been the question, "Why should we still be sending people out to preach the gospel to other nations and cultures?" Sometimes the question is asked in a slightly more negative way: e.g. "Do we have ...read more

    A saint has been defined as “a man in whom Christ lives.” The real leader of the church preaches and lives in Christ. Men are captivated by Christians who live out what they believe.

    This is part II in the series 24. It is a first person narrative from the perspective of Mark. The preaching idea: Prayer isn’t always a garden of serenity; sometimes it’s a wrestling mat.

    In case you weren’t with us last week, we’ve begun a brand new series of sermons entitled 24, based on the last 24 hours of Jesus Christ. What makes this particular series of sermons so unique is that I will be sharing from the perspective of characters present during the events. These story-like ...read more

    I don’t want to preach to you about tithing. I want to encourage you to live a generous life! Jesus said more about money than anything else.

    A minister was speaking about all the things money can’t buy. “Money can’t buy happiness, it can’t buy laughter and money can’t buy love” he told the congregation. Driving his point home he said, “What would you do if I offered you $1,000 not to love your mother and father?” A hush fell over the ...read more
