    The Jailer

    Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,246 views

    The jailer’s decision was not any easy one. But despite the difficulties that lay ahead, he realized that the God who would bring him to those difficulties would also bring him through them.

    Jobs were hard to come by. He was a grown man, with a wife and children to provide for. He had been an OK farmer when they lived in the country — even managed to put away a little money for them to live on after the move to the big city. But he had no marketable skills to speak of. He wasn’t ...read more

    Understand what prompted Paul to write the book of Galatians and how his words affect us today.

    “Astonished!” Galatians 1:1-9 INTRO: Have you ever experienced the frustration and shock of finding out that something you felt was very clear and plain had become muddied, confusing, even forgotten? As a kid, my mom would often ask me rhetorically, “Do I have to draw you a picture?” And most ...read more

    Part 3 of this series focuses on what Jesus says about Marriage, Swearing and Revenge/Longsuffering in His Sermon on the Mount.

    Pulling Against God Part 3 Scriptures: Matthew 5: 31-42 Introduction In my message last week I focused on the first two areas that Jesus dealt with in His sermon on the mount. This week we will continue from where we left off. Before I get into the heart of this message, I want you to ask ...read more

    One Faith: Putting All Our Eggs In One Basket

    Contributed by Chris Willis on Oct 23, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,936 views

    Faith means both belief and trust. We believe something to be true, and because we belive it to be true we are willing to invest ourselves into it. This sermon reminds us of what our faith is as Christians, that the Christian faith in our pluralistic worl

    One Faith . . . Putting All Our Eggs In One Basket Ephesians 4:5 Language is amazing . . . how we use words to describe ideas or thoughts. Do you know what an idiom is? It’s a phrase or expression, a group of words that has a meaning different from the literal meaning of its parts taken together? ...read more

    Spiritual truths that teach me how to make my relationships more enjoyable.

    We’re continuing our series entitled “Together We Make a Difference.” One person can certainly make a difference, and every individual is important, but TOGETHER we can have even greater influence.

    Nine Attitudes to Live By - The B Attitudes In the gospel of Matthew chapters five, six and seven we have a sermon of Jesus.

    Transfiguration, An Apocalyptic Experience Series

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Oct 31, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,428 views

    The Transfiguration is apocalyptic in nature revealing not only the divinity of Jesus, but also looks forward to the time when all is in complete submission to him.

    I hope this sermon is helpful to you in your studies. I have found William Lane’s commentary on Mark (new international commentary) very helpful and highly recommend it. There was a magician who was hired to do his act on a cruise ship. He had been there for several years and did the same act over ...read more

    The Foolishness Of Hidden Sin

    Contributed by Philip Harrelson on Nov 9, 2007
    based on 15 ratings
     | 15,575 views

    Sin has a devastating effect on the conscience. No matter how carefully covered, it will ultimately be exposed.

    The Foolishness of Hidden Sin John 15:22 John 15:22 -- “If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.” Ps 19:9-14 -- “The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.” “More to ...read more

    Run For It

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,065 views

    Zacchaeus and Martin Luther both learned the just are saved by faith; and Paul shows us that for Christians, All Saints Day and All Souls Day should be the same thing.

    Collect: Almighty and merciful God, it is only by your gift that your faithful people offer you true and laudable service: Grant that we may run without stumbling to obtain your heavenly promises; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ...read more

    Things we need to give thanks for

    WHY WE NEED TO BE Thankful Lamentations 3:1-57 The book of Lamentations describes Jerusalem’s destruction not only for its own sake but also for the profound theological lessons to be learned from it.

    What Does God Want?

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Nov 25, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,398 views

    We struggle over knowing what God wants. We ask for signs. Some in scripture have an advangage, sort of, they get to speak to God or atleast hear God’s voice. What about us today?

    What does God want? Hebrews 11:8-19 You know, I have a pretty hard time knowing what I want some times. I can get caught up in all kinds of simple dilemmas; it can be a simple as choosing something for lunch when there are lots of interesting to try. In more important situations perhaps some ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,262 views

    This message calls for greater commitment and sacrifice. I found the inspiration for this message after having gone to Romania on a missions trip.

    Mark 12:41-44 KJV And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. [42] And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. [43] And he called unto him his disciples, and ...read more

    Pressing Into His Presence Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 17 ratings
     | 31,390 views

    Worship is not merely a response to God, but it is also the pursuit of God. God pursues us, and yet for some odd reason, He seems to be just beyond our grasp when we seek Him. The pressing into His Presence is the choice of our will to worship Him.

    Encountering God - Part 2 – Pressing Into His Presence Overview Last week, I laid a foundation for what I believe to be the biblical nature of worship, starting with the fact that God has created mankind to worship Him. That worship arises from a relationship with Him. The bible says in the ...read more

    This message followed up one on the Biblical Bridal Paradigm, and reflected on the motivation of living and participating in ministry out of love.

    (Opened with a homemade "YouTube" video to the Toby Mac hit, "Made to Love") Last week we explored our love relationship with God. This idea of a “holy romance” through such long standing hymns of the faith as “And Can It Be” and “My Saviour’s Love” and “My Jesus I Love Thee.” This week, it is a ...read more
