    Tearin' Down The Wall

    Contributed by Jerry Shirley on Mar 14, 2013
    based on 18 ratings
     | 8,586 views

    Jesus came to break down the wall of separation. Does that wall still exist in your heart? Allow God to break it down now!

    Tearin' Down the Wall Ephesians 2:11-22 When the Berlin wall came down it was a monumental event, but nothing compared to the wall which came down in v. 14. v. 14 both = Jew and Gentile. v. 13 'But Now'. What a contrast when Jesus comes on the scene. v. 17 'which were afar off' = Gentiles. ...read more

    It is only in our brokenness that we understaned who we are, what we need, humbly serve, and become a blessing in the lives of other broken people.

    Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” To understand the “poor in spirit” you only need to understand the Hebrew word anawin. The best way to understand this word is to remember what happened to the inhabitants of Israel when they were hauled into ...read more

    Give Us Today The Food That We Need

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 11, 2012
     | 3,856 views

    A short talk from a series on the Lord's Prayer at our evening service. To pray, "Give us today our daily bread" is to recognise that God is the giver. It may also require us to be part of the answer to other people's prayers as per James 2:15-16.

    The Lord’s Prayer is the model for prayer taught by Jesus. It is the skeleton, the frame, upon which we build when we pray. Yes, we can and do pray it word for word, but if we think the Lord’s Prayer is like a fixed recipe, or worse, if we think this model prayer is like a spell, or ...read more

    The rich man prided himself on his intelligence, his success, his efficiency and foresight. He had plans to ensure his comfort for years. But God calls him a ’fool’.

    The Rich Fool Luke 12:13-34 Jesus is preaching mainly about the Pharisees (see 11 :37, 45;12:1). Suddenly a man shouts out from the crowd. ’Tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me,’ he calls out. While Jesus is preaching, the man is thinking about a family quarrel in which his brother ...read more

    Whese's The Kingdom Series

     | 6,188 views

    Jesus stands before Pilate. Jesus’ kingdom is not from this world, but he is still King of kings and Lord of lords.

    John 18:28-40 "Where's the Kingdom?" INTRODUCTION It has often been said that Jesus, "Lived so that he could die." Such comments stress the crucifixion, but down play Jesus' life. I think it might be more accurate to say that Jesus died because he lived. In other words, Jesus bringing in the ...read more

    This text encourages us to trust God in spite of circumstances that suggest that He has abandoned us.
