     | 40,655 views

    Jesus offered the people in the syngogue at Nazareth ’the Year of Jubilee’ - release from the bondage that the fall of man has brought but they refused to accept it.

    THE YEAR OF JUBILEE We’re going to have to use our imagination this morning/evening. We must imagine that we’re transported in time to the year 28 AD, when Jesus was beginning his ministry in the land of Israel. Instead of sitting in a church building we’re sitting in a synagogue in Nazareth, a ...read more

    Naomi suffered three bereavements and yet proved God’s providential care.

    There’s a striking phrase in our reading from the book of Ruth - "The Lord came to the aid of his people" (1:6). The Authorized Version puts it: "The Lord has visited his people." All of us have known the problems as well as the joys of life - and they come at all stages in life’s journey. Are ...read more

    An inductive sermon exploring the idolatry of our (often Christian) busyness in light to the need for "Sabbath times" of relationship-building

    DO YOU LOVE ME? A Haunting Question for a Busy Church John 21:15-17 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15 I love my wife Linda. I do. Now, to be honest, there are times that I do not enjoy being with her.

    I am told that one of the hottest shows on Television these days is called "Temptation Island." It is a ’reality’ show like "Survivor". Four unmarried couples, who are in long-term relationships, are taken to a Caribbean island for two weeks to test and explore the strength of their commitment. ...read more

    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

     | 11,584 views

    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 11 ratings
     | 5,325 views

    Should Christians sue other Christians? Should Christians sue anyone? Is it ever right to use the laws of this nation to achieve a measure of justice? What does Paul say about this?

    LET’S SETTLE THIS How should Christians settle differences of opinion with each other, disputes, or even instances of personal damages? Through lawsuits? Lawsuits have become a way of life in North American culture. I remember as children when someone wanted to throw a nice icy rip-your-skin ...read more

     | 10,242 views

    The leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees was in direct opposition to the unleavened "Bread of Life".

    Text: “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees” (Matthew 16:6) NIV. Another word used in the place of “yeast” is the word “leaven”. Yeast is used in baking and causes the dough to rise or “puff up”. Yeast is really a living organism ...read more

    'spot The Difference.' Series

     | 5,319 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

    Contributed by Mark Eberly on Mar 3, 2008
     | 4,023 views

    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
