    Giving In To Weakness

    Contributed by John Perry on Mar 16, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,315 views

    By our very nature we all struggle with weakness & weakness is certainly part of the package of our humanity. What God never intended though is that we would simply give in to weakness & be content to live in weakness.

    Bunbury Wed pm 16/03/11 “Giving in to your weakness” Intro: I was stirred about the reality that God saves us so that we can live in dominion over the flesh & our fallen nature. And if we consider the design God has for His church I think we could all agree that we are living well ...read more

    The God Who Provides

     | 9,341 views

    The story of the feeding of the 5000 contains some wonderful principles that teach us much about how, when and why God provides

    In mark 6:33-44, we’re going to see that God is a God who provides. We find a marvellous example of God providing food for 5000 men plus women plus children, maybe up to 20,000 people, and he provides enough for everybody to eat with just a boy’s lunch of bread and fish. This story is ...read more

    When wrong is right, then right is wrong. When right is wrong, then wrong is right. In other words, when our culture has confused truth to the point of calling good evil and evil good, then we are obliged to do what many would think is evil because it is

    Treasuring God's Holiness Series

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 7, 2012
     | 5,268 views

    Some things are so surprising they simply shock us. The early church has many such surprises and shocks, one of the biggest of which concerned the generosity of two of her members.

    “Treasuring God’s Holiness” Acts 5:1-11 Some things are so surprising they just simply shock us. The team with the huge lead falls apart in the closing moments and loses. The golfer with only an easy, short birdie putt between himself and the championship, winds up with a double ...read more

    Jesus was very approachable, by all classes of people, as we shall see in today’s scripture lesson. It is the story of the sinful woman who worshiped Him, at a dinner given in the home of a well-to-do Pharisee.

    #1 in the series

    What is the one thing that we will do in heaven that we do on Earth? Preaching? disciple-making? Missions? It is worship! Worship is an end in itself, not a means to something else. Meaning, if you only worship God because you get something out of it, then it ceases to be worship because you are ...read more

    Meanwhile, as we live in between what was and what will be, we live good and peaceful lives.

    Despite the increasingly chaotic global landscape and a growing sense of doom and even an impending apocalypse… I suspect relatively few are associating an apocalypse with the Second Coming of Christ. Few are living prepared for that event which II Peter 3:10 says will be like a thief coming ...read more

    Dramatic monologue as if David were speaking: he starved emotionally his son Adonijah, he indulged his son Solomon, and he distanced himself from his son Absalom.

    "Bless the Lord, 0 my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, 0 my soul, and do not forget all his benefits ... as a father has compassion for his children, so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him."

    All Things New: Even Me

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 28, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,309 views

    Interactive sermon, asking the people to identify what old things God is taking away, what new things He is leading us toward, what evidence there is of His work in the world and the church, and to what we will commit in prayer for 2009.

    You would have to be obtuse indeed not to notice that the Bible is all about making old things new. The early pages of Genesis tell the story of our expulsion from the garden of delights because of our disobedience, and we discover how it so pained the heart of God for us to ignore Him that He ...read more
