    Inalienable Rights Series

    Contributed by Eric Hanson on Aug 14, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,928 views

    The idea of Inalienable rights is rooted in Genesis and the fact that human beings are created in the image of God. Neither Secular Humanism or Islam recognize this. This message looks at this in an instructional way.

    INALIENABLE RIGHTS Pastor Eric J. Hanson November 26th 2006 A message like this one can stand alone, but I strongly suggest that each one listening to Inalienable Rights also get a CD or tape of my message from two weeks prior to this one.

    There are many ideas about who Jesus was and Who Jesus is. But who is He realy? And what does that mean to those who believe and those who dont believe

    Jesus who? Matthew 16:13-20 (NIV) 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" 14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." 15 "But what about you?" he ...read more

    Part VI in the series - 24. This is a first person narrative account from the perspective of the penitent thief on the cross. The preaching idea: Only by the innocence of Christ are the guilty set free.

    Introduction… My prayer is that over the past six weeks that those of you who have been present for this series of sermons have been moved by the stories that we have experienced. One of the great things about preaching – is that before the message ever gets to you I’ve spent hours and hours in ...read more

    based on 56 ratings
     | 5,214 views

    This message explores the words and ideas that show up multiple times in this passage and give us indication of the different ways we can react to the storms of life that we face.

    - Last week, in previous passage, there was a literal storm; in this passage, the man is dealing with a “storm” caused by a huge problem in his life: demon-possession. - Sometimes we find that the storm stays for longer than we thought it would. There are a lot of reasons this can happen - this ...read more

    Paul is a man who is shaken out of his religious ideas…ultimately centered in his own ego and understanding… and awakened to the reality of what the true and living God is doing.

    Today we begin a new series… we begin a journey into the extraordinary life which God seeks to awaken in us. Over the centuries many have written of profound spiritual experiences… and often there can be something to learn from them. But none has been as profound or proved as substantial ...read more

    Why Are We Here? Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 5,109 views

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

    The mustard seed was often planted by farmers in Palestine. Matthew and Mark point to the seed’s small size and contrast this with the size of the full-grown tree (a mustard seed can produce a tree 30 feet tall).

    Probably Perea Lesson: Parables of the Mustard Seed and Leaven Luke 13:18-21 When ever Jesus wanted to explain what something was like, to people who didn’t know anything about it, He used parables in which He would compare it to something they did know about. So Christ undertakes here to ...read more

    8/15/19 Tom Lowe Lesson #11 [IC3]: SERVANT VS. SON (HEBREWS 3:5-6a) Introduction: The author has already briefly contrasted Jesus with the Old Testament prophets (1:1, 2) and more explicitly with the angels (1:3-2:18).
