    The Transformation Of Zacchaeus, And Us Too If We Would Listen And Believe.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 1, 2016
     | 6,659 views

    What others think of us is irrelevant to the Lord. It is what he see in us that is important. Zacchaeus show us how the power of God is used to free us from the influence of others, and free us to be ourselves.

    The world is more focussed than ever on sci-fi movies and alien life, so much so, that a hearing was convened by the United States Congress into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UFOs). What is the Christian perspective on this?

    based on 44 ratings
     | 6,429 views

    Many Christians are missing out on some of the greatest blessings available in the New Testament and they do not even realize it. In our passage this morning, John recognized missionaries as co-laborers worth investing in.

    How to Serve as An Effective Sender - 3 John 1:7,8 Quote:If the world were a village of 1000 people, next year’s population would be 1018. Twenty-eight people would be born, but 10 would die: three from lack of food, one from cancer, two in birth, one from war or crime, and three from natural ...read more

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,582 views

    Are you going to take the effort to listen to God? How has your faith panned out for God? Will you step out even when God tests your faith by making the most difficult sacrifices in your life? Do you obey God at every level?

    When God calls, don't hit the snooze button.

    Probably the hardest part of writing a sermon is the beginning. If I don’t catch your attention right away, I could lose half of you. Now, some of you listen to everything I say regardless, and some of you - and I know who you are - sleep through all my sermons - but I do try to set the ...read more

    Just Do It!

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 5, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,380 views

    Let’s not just learn what God says. Let’s Just Do it! You haven't really learned the Word until you live the Word. We often are hearers of the Word and not doers. We learn and teach God’s Word more than obeying it ourselves.

    Opening illustration: A church had a new pastor who preached the same sermon every Sunday. When people started complaining, he told the congregation, “I’ll preach a new sermon when you act on this one.” That pastor’s statement reminds me of the words of the apostle James: ...read more

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Martha Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/21/2016 For the last few of weeks, we’ve been talking about how you might respond if God called your name—not just once, but twice.
