    The Word Of God Abides In You, And You Have Overcome The Evil One

    Contributed by John Piper on Mar 29, 2007
    based on 46 ratings
     | 23,868 views

    In the Bible, God speaks to us, and in prayer, we speak to him. And the two are interdependent in their effectiveness. The Scripture teaches us to pray and shows us what to pray and how to pray and tells us the basis for prayer and fills us with encourage

    This is the last Sunday of Prayer Week. The reason we sandwich Prayer Week with a sermon on prayer and a sermon on the word of God is that these are the two great means of grace that God uses to conform us to the image of his Son (Romans 8:29; Colossians 3:10). The Interdependence of Prayer and ...read more

    Courage To Confront – Jesus Clears The Temple Series

    Contributed by Nigel Heath on Apr 4, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,290 views

    The Gentile Court was the temple access point for Gentiles to learn about Judaism, and since believers are now the spiritual temple, how might Jesus seek to confront us and clear our lives of the clutter that prevents our effective witness?

    5.4.09 COURAGE TO CONFRONT – JESUS CLEANSES THE TEMPLE Mark 11:1-11:19 INTRO When did you last witness blatant wrongdoing and step in to do something about it? • It may have been to do with malpractice in the workplace and you became the whistle-blower. • It could be that you witnessed a dispute ...read more

    Individualism

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013
     | 5,161 views

    We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. In effect, we have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others

    Individualism Joshua 7: 2-12a Imagine somebody courteously asking, “How is your family life?” or “How is your prayer life?” or “Is your thought life pure?” or “How wisely do you use your time?” or as John Wesley would ask Methodists in his day, ...read more

    Jesus exemplifies leadership for us. He is a perfect example for us to follow and pattern after. He came to seek and save the lost and so should we. But this begs the question? How effective are we at winning the lost? The answer may be in the title.

    Warning - Others in your family may not follow in your disobedient footsteps – but your attitude and your actions will affect their lives! So line up with God and let Him give you the victory over the effects of sin in your life.

    Sin is Never a Solo pursuit. So what's the big deal about Adam and Eve and their sin? Well, let me give you a sober warning. When we sin, the consequences of that sin are like the ripple effect on the surface of a body of water. What Eve did affected Adam and what they both did affected us ...read more

    Fourth in a series on Elisha. Often, God invites us to proclaim WHAT he will do, even if we have no idea HOW he will accomplish it. God's intervention in history ultimately causes a ripple of good effects for His people.

    The message this Sunday will look at our attitude towards God’s word, and how we approach it, because that is what determines its effectiveness in our lives. We will look at this through Paul’s missionary travels to Thessalonica and Berea.

    Time Spent In God's Word

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 7, 2024
     | 1,388 views

    I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. These numbers show a troubling imbalance in our lack of time spent in the Scripture and its damaging effect on our spiritual vitality.

    If we took a poll here in our church, I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. Research shows that the average person is exposed to anywhere between 4,000 and 10,000 messages a day. You are probably thinking, "No way do I receive that many messages." But ...read more

    In the following sermon we are going to examine Acts 4:1-22 and conclude that through the power of the Holy Spirit ordinary Christians are to have courage that they can overcome their Sanhedrin and effectively profess that salvation is only found in the Lord Jesus Christ.

     | 750 views

    Personal evangelism is a divine assignment that every believer must embrace. One-on-one witnessing is a powerful tool for winning souls, as it allows for personal engagement and addressing individual concerns. Jesus, the apostles, and early Christians used this method effectively.

    The cleansing effect of having a dumpster in your driveway is a amazing. You can get rid of a lot of clutter in your house. In a simlar way, "junk" can gather in each of us who are called to be the temple of the Lord. Jesus cleanses us.

    Every so often, as you drive around the various neighborhoods in these parts, you will notice the presence of dumpsters. Sometimes they are there to collect the waste from construction; sometimes reconstruction; but other times, the dumpster seems to be just for junk. I find this ...read more
