    Exposition of the Burning Bush, and linkage to Ministry of all believers mentioned in Romans and Matthew

    In the church where I grew up, a 1950s building, the most dominant visual feature was a huge stained glass window depicting a Burning Bush.

     | 34,738 views

    God is looking for a people who will build an altar of worship. It is that concept that some captured my attention. In particular the place that the altar plays in Old Testament worship, and it’s accompanying challenge to you and I.

    Egypt is synonymous of our world and it’s accompanying bondage. God’s desire for Israel was that they would be free from Egypt to worship him without constrain, that’s the story of Exodus. The first 2 commandments – EXODUS 20:1-6 Worship is that central affirmation of God in our lives, above ...read more

    This sermon will encourage you if you are going through a season of dryness or a bitter experience. Allow the Lord to lead you to His 'Waters of Refreshing'. 'God has already planned His provision for your trials'.

    This sermon explores the various roles music plays in worship.

    This weekend the Forestburg community celebrated the role music has played in our community. I imagine that most of that heritage is of country music.

    2 Corinthians 1:12-24. God's eternal 'yes and yes' states a truth which dispells the relativism and lies of the post-modern era, where each person claims the right to their truth. Christians are called to rebut this split world view with the true unity

    We just starting out on our sermon series through Paul’s second letter to the Christians at Corinth. This week we hear Paul as he engages a Christian community that is living out the fruits of a cultural context that was more of Greek philosophy than of God.

    The reason some have little desire for God’s House on Sunday is because they have had little desire for God throughout the week.
