    Jesus Came Down

    Contributed by Ian Johnson on Nov 16, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,153 views

    Is it any wonder that the world finds it hard to follow Jesus? Often The only Jesus they are ever presented is hard, harsh and unloving. We are Jesus to the world; our actions speak louder than fifty street preachers. Jesus came down!

    JESUS CAME DOWN IAN JOHNSON www.papelim.org.nz “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.” – 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV) What does that mean, “he became poor”? It means that he gave ...read more

    The first in a series on the seven sayings of Christ on the cross.

    A person’s last words are important. We hang on to the dying words of those closest to us. We pass on the final words of great leaders for the next generation. It’s as if we are waiting for them to sum everything up in a few final statements. Some are famous: Nathan Hale (1755-1776) – "I only ...read more

     | 4,879 views

    Although viewed as foolish and weak to the perishing, out of the cross we receive God’s saving wisdom and power.

    Pain. We’ve all felt pain. Pinch yourself or pull on your hair and you’ll feel a certain amount of pain. But how many of you have felt excruciating pain? Come on, you can admit it. I once sprained my right ankle so badly in a basketball game that as it happened, I heard it ripping … and ...read more

    The Servant Leader

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,448 views

    In the Discipline of service there is also great liberty. Service allows us to say ’no!’ to the world’s games of promotion and authority. It abolishes our need and desire for a ’pecking order’

    In 2006 success is measured by the size of our great wealth, the popularity of our ministry, the size of our Church, In this we seem to miss the mark of being a true servant leader in the kingdom of God.. Our example in all things is the Lord Jesus himself The servant is not greater than his ...read more

    How do you react to the cross of Jesus? It may say a lot about your spiritual condition and your relationship to Christ. Learn how many of the witnesses reacted.

    If you really want to get a reaction on something from somebody-mention the cross of Jesus Christ. From the recent Mel Gibson movie The Passion of the Christ, right on back through the generations and millennia-mentioning the cross instantly puts people into several camps and creates a response ...read more

    John encourages the downtrodden church

    1 John 2:12-17 October 15, 2006 The last time I preached from 1 John 2, I mentioned that John was writing to a church that was bruised and broken and possibly full of self doubt and doubt about their own faith and belief. He tries to encourage them by commending their faith and showing ...read more

    “What difference does being a Christian make?” We have the words to use that say we are different, but do we demonstrate the difference?

    Live in Abundance, Fully John 10:10 “What difference does being a Christian make?” We have the words to use that say we are different, but do we demonstrate the difference? My guess is that those who don’t appear to be different from the rest of the crowd are not living an abundant life. The life ...read more

    Picky Picky Belief Series

     | 3,798 views

    The religious leaders were selective about which laws to follow and which ones to ignore or defy. We are too. The point of this is to expose our own double-standards and lead us to show mercy to others.

    John 19:31-37 – Picky Picky Belief Tonight, in our last message of The Life of Jesus before Resurrection Day, I’d like to point out an interesting characteristic about the religious leaders that really bears hearing. Just to let you know: likely something I say tonight might make you angry. ...read more

    What will you do with Jesus?

    There has been much debate this year over Christmas. The politically correct, or should I say the politically incorrect has been working overtime in an attempt to remove Christ from Christmas, and any reminder of why we celebrate December 25th. Call it a happy holiday, or a winter break, but ...read more

    We all must decide what we are going to do about Jesus.

    Introduction: In Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ, one of Jesus biggest assets appears to be the Roman Prefect, Pilate. A Pilate goes head to head with the religious leadership in defense of Christ. a If Jesus was a self-professed King, then Pilate could kill him for treason. b If Jesus ...read more

    The Fourth Watch Of The Night

    based on 196 ratings
     | 72,583 views

    Sometimes we find ourselves in life-storms and after exhausting every method of deliverance, including prayer, we despair and give up. Very often Christ comes at just these precise moments.

    THE FOURTH WATCH OF THE NIGHT INTRODUCTION. We’re going to take a little trip with Jesus across the sea of Galilee. Actually, calling it a “Sea” is a bit of a overstatement. It’s a lake. A big lake, but a lake all the same, 15 mi. long and 8 miles wide. TEXT. Matthew 14.22 Immediately Jesus ...read more

    Deny Ourselves? Take Up The Cross? Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Sep 27, 2011
     | 7,443 views

    This message is the sixth in a series that deals with some of the difficult sayings of Jesus. This message examines the meaning of denying yourself and taking up your cross.

    Sacrifice is a word that has the ability to send shivers down the spines of the majority of us. Of course Christians have reconciled themselves to the idea that this is a part of following Jesus. I would venture to say that our understanding of the concept of sacrifice is much different than ...read more
