    The Lion, The Lamb And The Throne Room Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 19, 2016
    based on 13 ratings
     | 24,705 views

    Almost everyone has a picture in their minds of what Jesus looks like... but almost no one visualizes Him the way He's shown in Revelation 5. Why does God paint us a portrait of a wounded lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes?

    A preacher was showing a child a painting of Jesus. Trying to explain that we didn’t really know what Jesus looked like he said: "It's not really Jesus. It’s just an artist's conception of him." The child looked long and hard at the picture and said; "Well, it sure looks like him," ...read more

    Salvation is not difficult, but simple. Salvation is not inaccessible, but readily available. It is as near as your mouth & your heart. If you would believe in Jesus with your heart, & confess Him with your mouth, you will be saved.

    A BELIEVING HEART / [Matters of the Heart Series ] ROMANS 10: 6-11 Your heart has been created with a truly amazing capability.

    God explains how a man can be saved by faith, then who & what he is to have faith in, for it to be saving faith. God’s plan is that you must personally & publicly transfer your faith for your salvation to Jesus, to who Jesus is & what He has done for you.

    ROMANS 10: 8-13 THE TERMS OF SALVATION George Swanson had a plan to get to heaven. He was buried in His corvette. He planned to drive His white corvette down the highway to heaven and arrive at "the Pearly Gates in style" the newspaper column said. That was George Swanson plan. ...read more

    What has Christ called us to do as a church and as individuals who are part of the church? How can we be more effective at fulfilling what Jesus calls us to do not only with our words, but by living our life in obedience to Him?

     | 2,128 views

    The Bible’s teaching on the subject of the Trinity is rarely addressed in sermons yet it hangs around in the background of so much a church does and talks about.

    Today, we continue a series of messages entitled Creed: 9 Essentials to the Christian Faith Why This Series? The reason for this series is that beliefs matter. Beliefs fundamentally alter the shape of our lives. This series, Creed, is designed to answer those who wonder what really lies at the ...read more

    How many of you have ever driven a car in rural New Brunswick?

    Trust And Obey (2 Of 2)

     | 1,936 views

    This morning we looked at something we talk, teach, preach and sing about, that is, “TRUST AND OBEY!”

    We dealt with the TRUST this morning, but this evening we would like to deal with the OBEY part of that song. Something that Peter and the early disciples understood that today’s church does not understand, is that WE CHRISTIANS ARE TO OBEY GOD. They understood that you obeyed God: • When it was ...read more

    The British Railways were looking for a way to test locomotive windshields when they heard about an unusual test cannon that The British Airways had used to test their windshields.

    This cannon fired birds, with great force, into the windshields of passenger jets to insure designs and materials were up to par. They were glad to let the railway borrow their cannon to test the train windshields. Just before the test run, British Railways sent someone out to buy a dead chicken ...read more
