    The custodians of Temple worship were exploiting true worshippers coming to God. As custodians of the gospel we need to make sure we don’t do the same thing

    John 2:13-22 - Exploiting the Message of Salvation A few years ago as we were leading up to the new millennium, I watched in disbelief as a famous television evangelist made the following statement to the thousands who packed the auditorium in front of him „X ¡§The Lord has told me it is only those ...read more

    Max is a Jr Higher who hates the locker room, and is now likely to be picked on for having a ash cross on his head after the Ash Wednesday service. It ends with a call to pray for others and submitting yourself to God to use you to lead others to Him.

    Max hated the locker room. It wasn’t a mild dislike, like the days he would rather not go to science or choir. Max really dreaded walking into the locker room and confronting first the smelliness of the locker room and then those small lockers. These lockers were really just baskets that you could ...read more

     | 14,588 views

    God is just like any parent; his heart breaks when his children rebel. These are the images of his hurt and what he planned to do about it.

    REFLECTING IMAGES OF REBELLION Someone has defined rebellion this way: “Reserving for myself the right to make the final decision.” Are you a rebel? How many of us think that it’s okay to go 110 km/h on the highway? As the pirates like to say, “It’s not a rule per se; it’s more like a ...read more

    This sermon takes a look at the cross through the eyes of the disciples and how the cross which was originally one of suffering and shame became one of rejoicing and elation.

    How could they have been so wrong. One by one they each chose to leave everything and to answer the call to follow Jesus and become fishers of men. For 3 brief years they watched in anticipation as Jesus worked miracles and taught with authority. Peter even stated that Jesus was indeed the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,211 views

    This message opens up Paul’s spirtual mindset in refuting the religous self confident Jews. He explain despite the Law despite the covenant of circumcision how they too have fallen short of Gods standards in a game of spot the difference.

    Romans 2:17 -3:8 Spot the difference • Have you ever played spot the difference? You can usually spot the difference quite easily because all the differences are on the outside but when it comes to our standing before God, it is a little bit harder to spot the difference because the difference is ...read more

    Is there really a hell? The answer from the Bible is: Yes. However, perhaps a deeper question is how can a loving God send people to eternal torment? We’ll look at this and also what it is the God wants from us.

    The Burning Question Is There Really a Hell? March 2, 2008 I have heard many recovered alcoholics and addicts describe their lives before recovery as a “living hell.” Their lives were filled with suffering, agony, and anguish for themselves and those around them. The conclusion is that the throes ...read more

    Lust grips people in an way that the spirit is dulled.

    When the church fathers constructed this list of 7 deadly sins 1500 years ago they knew then, what we observe today. Satan’s tactics to corrupt our lives hasn’t changed much if any.
