    A call to personal Holiness from God’s perspective

    "But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." (1 Peter 1:15-16 NIV) God has called His sanctified Bride, the Church, to be holy (1 Cor 1:2). He has commanded that we "consecrate" or keep ourselves apart ...read more

    A Proven Strategy For Increasing Your Happiness Series

    "You and I were created for joy, and if we miss it, we miss the reason for our existence.” The findings of "Positive Psychology" researchers are remarkably similar to what the Bible teaches about finding happiness.

    "You and I were created for joy, and if we miss it, we miss the reason for our existence.” That’s what it said in the book I pulled from the bookstore shelf, You Gotta Keep Dancin’. The subtitle really intrigued me. It said, "In the midst of life’s hurts, you can choose joy!" Well I wasn’t very ...read more

    A famous lyric from a 1965 Burt Bacharach song says, “What the world needs now is love, sweet love. It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of; what the world needs now is love, sweet love; No, not just for some, but for everyone.” Thirty-nin

    The Wise Wife

     | 4,674 views

    At our Christmas Eve service each year I tell a silly story which deals with an aspect of the Christmas story. This one has to do with the wisemen.

    There are lots of wisemen legends that have been perpetuated over the years. For example, it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that three kings visited Jesus bearing gifts. It’s just not there! First of all, they were “magi” or “wisemen” – perhaps astrology scholars – not kings – at least in the ...read more

    Immanuel

    “Immanuel” is a code name, with a secret meaning. The wonderful secret of that name is that God has come into our lives in the form of Jesus, and he will be with us always, in every situation.

    Immanuel January 9, 2005 Isaiah 7:10-16 2299 words 10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying, 11 Ask a sign of the LORD your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven. 12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, and I will not put the LORD to the test. 13 Then Isaiah said: "Hear then, O house of ...read more

    David understood the priority of worship. This sermon looks at his devotion to worship and what we can learn from it.

    The Attitude of Worship Text: Psalm 27:4 Introduction: As his parents watched from the patio, a little boy played baseball by himself in the back yard. Of course this amounted to tossing a ball into the air and attempting to hit it with his bat. As he did so he proclaimed to no one in particular, ...read more

    The Superior Order Of Melchizedek Series

     | 9,269 views

    The appearance of Melchizedek in Hebrews 7 is there to draw us not to this mysterious figure Melchizedek, but there to draw us to God through Jesus Christ.

    Superior Order Questions, questions, questions. As far as I’m concerned, it is good for us to come to moments like these and ask our questions. We should bring our really big questions, right? Who – What – Where – When – Why – How? If we’re going to get to the bottom of things, we’re taught that ...read more

    Part one of a four part series on the four themes of Advent - hope, peace, joy, and love. Describes "hope" and how it is powerful and beneficial.

    I enjoy celebrating Advent first, and then celebrating Christmas. You see, our world has commercialized Christmas so much so that what used to be a fairly sacred time of year is now only talked about in terms of company profits, consumer spending, Hollywood blockbuster movies, TV events, finding ...read more

    Father Dave’s sermon on Paul, the preacher of the Gospel of Jesus, communicating with a group of persons who have never heard of Jesus. How did he go about it? And what is wrong with the ’Jesus is the answer to all your problems’ approach?

    "Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols." (Acts 17:16) Ange and I have been to Athens, as I suspect many of you guys have also. We went for less pious reasons than St Paul. We went as the Australian contingent ...read more

    “North America is spiritually obese.” (Norm Cheng, Ontario Bible League) The irony is the alarming numbers of people in Canada who have no room for God.

    Norm Cheng, this district’s Area Director for Ontario for the Bible League, spoke at the Christian Business Ministries dinner last week. He made a comment in his presentation that perked my ears up. He said, “North America is spiritually obese.” I agree with his comment. We have more forms of ...read more
