    "The Heart Beat Of Jesus"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 3, 2013
     | 11,427 views

    Years ago I heard Dr. Adrian Rogers put it this way: “the heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.” I agree. In other words if you really want to see change take place, you have to change someone’s heart.

    HEARTBEATS “The Heartbeat of Jesus” Matthew 6:21 I am sure that one thing all of us could agree on this morning is that our world is in deep trouble. America is in trouble and something has to be done. But what we might not agree on is what the solution actually is. Many of us would ...read more

    Godly Forgetfulness

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jan 12, 2014
     | 4,074 views

    If not left behind us, our pasts, our mistakes and sins are ever in front of us, and we spend our time tripping over or dodging them. God wants us future- focused, not past-ensnared.

    The following is a brief homily given during a weekly mid-week event called: "The Feast" at Yonge Street Mission in Toronto, Canada. The future is a big mystery. One thing that we all share in this room is a lack of knowledge about what’s going to happen in the future. Often we think of the ...read more

    If we are going to be able to move forward then we need to forget what is behind.

    FAGEDABOWDIT Last week I talked about how we need to have confidence in God. We need to have confidence in God so we can overcome sin and get through the difficulties in life. If we lack confidence we won’t grow and reach our full potential. Today, in carrying on the theme of looking at ...read more

    By one man's disobedience, many were made sinners.

    In our Let's Talk About series we're looking at what an amazing comeback God has in store, as He rebuilds the Jerusalem of our souls, and the Temple of our Spirit from the ruins of our past.

    Year End Inventory

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 26, 2024
     | 4,282 views

    Jesus tells us that when we seek first the Kingdom of God, the other things we are concerned about will take care of themselves. Paul doesn't want us to merely call ourselves Christians or think of ourselves as Christians. He wants to know Christ and wants us to be real followers of Jesus too.

    Opening illustration: Business owners are busy at the end of the year taking inventory. This is a painful but necessary reality so they can know if they made a profit or not. They take the information they receive and make adjustments for the coming year. As Christians, we need to stop at the end ...read more

It happens to all of us, right? But there are some things that are super important to remember, and that's what we're ...read more

    What A World We Live In

    Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Oct 12, 2024
     | 952 views

    In the last 50+ years there has been a constant and constant decline of for God and His Son in the world. It was 1962 that the Supreme Court ruled that prayer was taken out of our schools.

    The world in which we live in is rapidly becoming a Godless mess. I must note that it is going to take Gods direct intervention in the affairs of men, not only in our country but in the world. 1st Remember Where We Were- Eph 2:12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the ...read more
