    The Most Important Things

    Contributed by Michael Martin on Nov 4, 2006
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,156 views

    There are things that are more important to God, than what man thinks is important.

    (Phil. 3:4-14) "If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I MORE..." Paul was a man of words. They said about him, "His letters are weighty..." We understand now, that they were the very words of God. That Paul wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of ...read more

     | 21,724 views

    The need to get connected to God through Jesus Christ, and the church, God’s family. This was deliverd on "Bring a Friend Sunday" and kicked off our Sunday school and small groups.

    Have you ever felt like, there has got to be more to this life than just going to work, raising kids, enjoying a vacation here or there, getting old, and dying? Do you look at other people and wonder why life seems to go better for some? 1. Connecting to God The Bible tells us there is a reason ...read more

    Worship Wars

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Nov 7, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,734 views

    Sermon to handle the increasing division over style of music in worship (contemporary vs. traditional). We sing for God’s benefit and not our own. Yet God continues to inspire us with a new song and styles of worship.

    In the last month or so I have heard some interesting comments. I’ve heard, “we don’t sing enough of the old hymns,” or “I don’t like the new music,” and I have also heard “we are singing too many hymns,” or “we sing songs too slow.” Interesting isn’t it? Whenever people are involved there are ...read more

    Believe: Beyond Belief

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Nov 11, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,630 views

    We say we believe, but are those just empty words? It seems the Jewish believers Jesus is addressing in this Scripture believe with their lips but not their heart.

    A group hunters from the lower 48 hire a float plane and fly out into the Alaska bush to go caribou hunting, just as they did the year before. During their hunt, they are successful, and take 6 large caribou. As the pilot returns to pick them up, he tells the men that only 4 caribou can come on the ...read more

    #12 -- Humility Series

    Contributed by Derek Melanson on Nov 17, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,699 views

    Jesus teaches us three things about humility: it starts at the bottom, it grows out of gratitude, and it is an act of faith.

    “Oh, it’s hard to be humble . . .!” Have you ever heard that little tune, “Oh, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re prefect in every way?” It’s a little tune I remember from growing up. And I read a couple of stories this week that sort of illustrate this song very well. The first was about Henry ...read more

    the frustration of failing in regard to law-keeping leads us to cry out to God and discover the power of the Holy Spirit available for all who trust in Jesus

    Romans 7:15-25 15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, ...read more

    God In Conversions And Conflicts Series

    based on 20 ratings
     | 3,814 views

    Look for God’s hand in all of life. We rejoice in his presence when souls are won to Christ. We can also rejoice in his presence when things look critical.

    Acts 16 describes the conversions of Lydia and an unnamed Philippian Jailer. Some commentators also believe that the girl with the spirit of divination whom Paul exercised was converted. That may be possible, but we have no information to confirm or deny it. What the Holy Spirit did inspire to ...read more

    The Church Of Tolerance

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 9, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 8,012 views

    In our society today, tolerance is considered a virtue. But our definition of it has changed - and accepting and even applauding any and every practice will weaken and pollute our lives. Learn how to safeguard your church and your life from compromise.

    When I read verses 18-29 I picture a church in turmoil - a good church with good people that has been infiltrated with those who would exploit weakness and draw off believers into immorality. The good people stand by and watch - and mourn. The church in Thyatira was small - and sometimes in a small ...read more
