     | 6,664 views

    So often we get caught up in the world’s definition of success. James calls us to look beyond the limitations of temporal wealth to the eternal blessings of spiritual prosperity!

    FOR RICHER OR POORER James 1:9-11 Scripture Reading: Luke 12:13-21 INTRODUCTION 1. Those of us who are married took vows before God and witnesses to take on certain responsibilities in our new homes. 2. Most of our vows included loving our spouse, “For richer or poorer.” 3.

    In whom or what do you put your hope? We know that some people put their hope on money and wealth and some people put their hope in people. A hope that is placed on anything other than Jesus Christ is a false hope because hope is only as reliable as the p

    Called To Conquer Pt.3 (Taking The Land) Series

    Contributed by Mark Baker on Nov 3, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,970 views

    In this study let’s look at the ultimate goal of a conqueror. That is to take and inhabit the land that God has called us into. What would be accomplished if we could take the land, but not inhabit and maintain what we have been given?

    In this third study I would like to again start with the words of the Apostle Paul, and define what a conqueror is. Romans 8:37-39. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor ...read more

    It is not the wisdom. It is not the miracles. It is not the things about Christ that we need the most. It is Christ - God with us - His flesh, His blood - food and drink.

    I don’t know what your week has been like, but I’ve had a week that has been full of typical priest-type things: visiting the sick and organising weddings, baptisms and funerals. Indeed, in the next few weeks we’ve got two baptism scheduled, there’s one wedding next Saturday, and tomorrow I have a ...read more

    Part 1 - At the heart of following Jesus is a commitment to trust and obey him as we live differently - "Upside Down" - from the world.

    I must admit that I was drawn to this passage this morning because it had a refreshingly urban feel about it. If you’re familiar with the parables and metaphors used by Jesus, you know that He often spoke using rural images - speaking of shepherds and sheep and fields and harvests. And you could ...read more
