    The Day God Filled The House

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Sep 1, 2004
    based on 61 ratings
     | 13,839 views

    We often give lip-service to the presence of God in our church services, but tend to recognize and focus on everything except God. If God is to fill the house of worship with His presence, He must be the supreme focus of all we do there.

    The Day God Filled The House Text: II Chron.5: 13 & 14 Intro: Our text gives us the exciting account of the dedication of Solomon’s temple. This temple was the fulfillment of a promise made by God to King David. David had desired to build a permanent dwelling place for the ark of God, but ...read more

    "As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Saskatchewan back country.

     | 10,767 views

    This message is a call to pursue God's presence during a worship service. New Testament Christianity calls for our participation. We must be careful our "worship" service doesn't become a performance with an audience. We want everyone engaging in worship.

    2/26/17 In the introduction to his first epistle, the Apostle John talks about his revelation of Jesus and then gives this reason for writing this letter, 1 John 1:3. “that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you [here is his purpose- that you] also may have fellowship with us; ...read more

    The Search For A Queen (Part 1) Series

     | 3,703 views

    God's people were bound in captivity, but they were not forsaken. The Lord was working behind the scenes, orchestrating events that would benefit and prosper them. We see His sovereign hand at work in the selection of Esther as queen of Persia.

    The Search for a Queen (Part 1) Esther 2: 1-9 As we studied chapter one, we discovered a detailed picture of what life was like within the Persian Empire. King Ahasuerus was a man of great wealth and power. He sought to expand the kingdom, and nothing was off limits in his pursuit to do so, not ...read more

    Have you ever asked yourself, "Why did God permit me to wake up this morning? Why is my heart still beating? Why am I here?" You see, God has a reason. What is the purpose of my continued existence?

    Taking The Lowest Place

     | 2,694 views

    We take the lowest place to imitate the Trinity

    The term “Trinity” does not appear even once in the Sacred Scriptures. Theophilus of Antioch used it to describe God about 150 years after Christ’s death and resurrection, so it may have come into usage some time before that. What it means is that God exists as one God, one ...read more

    Just as there twins in people, there are also twin truths in the Bible.

    As members of the "Body of Christ" we are needed for the church to work and function properly and to remain healthy. We have the responsibility to use the gift we are given to do our part in the work of the church.

    The behavior of Jesus at the last supper was in line with what Jesus would do the next day on the cross. Through it all, Jesus was the servant king.

    The Hour of Darkness and a Servant King ("The King whose Scepter is a Towel"- title from a message by Daryl Johnson) John 13:1-17 INTRODUCTION: What do you picture when you hear the word “KING”? The first word that comes to my mind is POWER. And if I hear KING of KINGS I think ...read more
