    Living For A Higher Calling Than Me Series

    Contributed by Charles Whitmire on Jan 27, 2008
     | 2,600 views

    This is the third message in the Contrarian’s Guide series. This week we look at idols, and how as odd as it sounds, if we are not careful our idol becomes "me."

    This is our third message in our contrarian series - we’ve been looking at things from a little different perspective, or vantage point. Last week we talked about slowing down - rather than speeding through life, maybe if we slowed down we could learn to hear God. The week before that we talked ...read more

    Using the life of Abraham, we see the need to put God first in all things, from which will flow an unfolding of revelation, and a response of worship.

    CRUCIAL STEPS IN THE JOURNEY SEPARATION; REVELATION; WORSHIP In the life of ABRAHAM The life of Abraham is remarkable, in that it clearly reflects aspects of our own life with God. There were certain very positive decisions that he had to make that were to become landmarks in his journey of life ...read more

    We all want to leave the world a little better place for having lived here. But if that is true, then we must have a plan. Do we? Jesus suggests a plan "Follow me."

    Have you ever wondered why you come to church every Sunday, at least most Sundays? And why is it that for each one of you faithful attendees, there are 10 or more non-attendees? I pray you understand I am glad you are here and of much more importance, God is pleased and that you come as often as ...read more

    Am I qualified? Who could have foreseen lowly fishermen of Galilee had the potential to become fearless apostles, or that simple peasants could leave their net behind to become founders of the church?

    A Letter from Jesus to the Church called Mainline: "You know me; I love to make the oldline new. If you will stick with me, I shall give you a future, new wineskins, and all that. I am Lord of Life, not death. I shall move you from cynical decline to life. I still have plans for you. You’ll be ...read more

    A sermon for Transfiguration of the Lord Sunday.

    Matthew 17:1-9 “Hiking with Jesus” This past week a friend of mine told me about a time, many years ago, when he and his family were tramping up Sharp Top Mountain in Bedford County, Virginia.

    How To Be Like Jesus

     | 1,896 views

    The search for answers begins when we are young. We all want answers to the big questions of life. Jesus starts by giving us answers and not questions. He already knows the things we want to know about.

    How to be like Jesus This simple sermon title involves a lot of profound teaching from Jesus. A lot of people today and in Jesus time too were looking for the fast solutions to the problems of life. Life was no less complicated for the people of Jesus time than it is for us today. We all want ...read more

    The Story

     | 4,378 views

    Why is so much of God’s word narrative? Why did God chose story to instruct us and call us to Christ? There is power in a story. God’s story has the power to save us.

    As we study through the gospel of Luke, or any of the gospels for that matter, we find God’s word communicating with us on a different level than direct instructions. God has chosen to use a wide range of literary genre as he inspired his Word to us. The gospels are more than historical stories ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,811 views

    It is easy to correct others and give advice, but hard to correct ourselves.

    Self-correction – making the necessary corrections on the inside based on the Word of God. The greatest task the believer will ever have to do is to correct ourselves. Self correction makes us better witnesses for the Jesus Christ; enrich our lives in our home, church, fellowship with saints, and ...read more

    So was the ’Lazarus’ we read of in Luke chapter 16 really a good man, and was his rich neighbour really a greedy, money-grabbing, tight-fisted, slave-driver? Don’t know, not...

    I had a guy at my door on Friday night who asked rather aggressively, “where do I go to get a meal around here?” I said back to him, equally aggressively, “where do you normally go for a meal?” He said, “I want a meal.” I said, “mate, it’s outside hours, I don’t know you, and I’m not giving you any ...read more

    Some people consider Jesus one of many options. But He challenged people either follow him or not. When it comes to relationships, dating, marriage, and decisions in life, God cannot be an option.

    ONE TRUE LOVE Is there such thing as one true love…I think there is! A boy came home from Sunday school and His Mother said, "What did you discuss at Church?" The boy said, "Marriage"! His Mother then asked, "What did you learn about marriage?" The little boy thought for a moment and said, ...read more

    Why does God call us to live differently than the world around us? It doesn’t seem fair!

    Way back in September, when we started Breakaway for the new school year we introduced our theme for the year as Jump! The whole idea was looking at the importance of jumping into a relationship with Christ. We picked this word for three main reasons. First, we said that jump communicates no ...read more
