    How We Got The Koran And How We Got The Bible Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 14, 2015
     | 3,850 views

    Text transmission is a critical part of our faith. We must be assured we have heard from God. Here is a comparison of the two processes that brought forth the 2 Holy Books of our faiths.

    Lesson 9, Which Comes First? Is it a full-blown religion, or a Book, that comes first from God? Strange question, perhaps, but important, I think. Possible answer one: In Israel, it was the religion. That is, the encounter. For many hundreds of years, there was no full book in Israel. But the ...read more

    A call to repentance, a call to change to our country, to the church, and to ordinary people.

    We continue this morning with our walk through a short book written by a friend of Jesus called Matthew. Matthew was a tax collector, and 2000 years ago being a tax collector really was an unpopular job! Being a tax collector was a bit like being a ‘collaborator’ during the Second World War. When ...read more

    Do we really want to "see Jesus" and experience His fire or are we going to settle for religious acts and pious practices.

    WHERE’S JESUS? On Easter Sunday morning Mary Magdalene exclaimed: "The Lord has been taken away and I do not know where they have put Him" (John 20:13). I can relate to Mary Magdalene.

    This title may strike you in an odd way..... Has He Risen? While we are so accustomed to hearing He Has Risen. The reason I bring this title with a question mark vs. an accustomed exclamation point is because some of us in the church do not show a

    Has He Risen? While driving to church on Easter Sunday two years ago, I told my children the Easter story. "This is the day we celebrate Jesus coming back to life," I explained. Right away, my 3-year-old son, Kevin, piped up from the back seat, "Will He be in church ...read more

     | 3,198 views

    An obstinate man does not hold opinions - they hold him. One doesn’t have to look far before they realize God at work in their lives through Angels. Let’s examine this together!

    Introduction I believe Angels are hard at work in everday life. I believe not because someone says so or has a credible encounter to prove their existence, I believe because the Word of God records their every activity. The Word of God says they are real and active. All of us whether we are ...read more

     | 125 views

    The question we all eventually ask in the dark is: 'When does it end?' In this series finale, we discover that the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for might not be a change in our circumstances, but a change in us.

    The Question We've Been Waiting For We've spent five sermons learning how-to live-in God's silence. We've learned that God is hidden, but not absent. We've learned that silence is refinement, not punishment. We've learned that God withholds explanation to develop deeper ...read more

    Elijah’s experience tells us that no matter how saved you are you’re going to have some bad days. Your faith will be tried, there are seasons in your life when you will question what you believe, when you will doubt your faith.

    1st Kings 19:4 – LORD I THINK I’VE HAD ENOUGH It is enough; now, 0 LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. Life is composed of experiences and encounters that provide challenge to one’s character and testing to one’s spirit. Life’s greatest wars are never fought on a ...read more
