    Reflections

    A reflection is to give back an image or likeness. When ‘one’ turns to the Lord the veil that kept the light of God from shinning (as with Moses) is uncovered or taken away and now every believer has the very light sent from God!

    Reflection Text: II Corinthians 3: 7-11,16-18 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory ...read more

    Did you know that God put himself in you? God wants to use you to fulfill His purposes on the earth.

    Matthew 5:14-16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.

    Close To The Cross, But Far From The Blood

    Four Soldiers were at the foot of the cross, but they were not repenting, but gambling! Why? Because they were distracted by Duty, Desires, and Deception.

    Intro: Easter is coming earlier this year and I have been thinking about the cross. This morning, I would like to look at four men whose names we are not given. They are the four soldiers that gambled for Jesus’ clothes. One of the mysteries of the crucifixion is that there were so many who ...read more

    Christmas Day: Name That Tune!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 22, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,731 views

    This all-age talk for Christmas Day is based around a game of ’Name that Tune’. Each of the 5 tunes, once guessed, help to build up the sermon which ends asking people to invite Jesus into their lives if they’ve not already done so.

    (The big idea: The point of this all-age sermon is that Jesus is totally unique! There is no-one like him. He alone reveals God to humanity and he alone reveals God’s plans for us. Just like a piece of music the more we listen to it and get to know it the more its unique qualities become obvious. ...read more

    #4 In the scriptures there is the assumption that anyone who is born again of the Spirit of God, that that person has the very power of God to live a life of godliness. This is not a life that is some unproductive barren wasteland, but a life that is full

    The Enlargement of Life Living Self-control Emancipated in Perseverance Reading: Luke 8:11-15 (2 Peter 1:5-11) Even a quick reading of the N.T. reveals that God has a plan and a purpose for anyone who will be fully open to Him.

    The psalm exhorts everyone and everything to praise the Lord. It forces us to ask the question, "Why is praise important in our lives?"

    Psalm 150:1-6 “The Purpose of Praise” INTRODUCTION The psalm today exhorts us to praise God. This is a simple command, but it is an exhortation that may inspire questions. We may ask, “What is praise?” Is it something more than a compliment? We may also ask, “Why should we praise?” What does ...read more

    Operating As One

    Jesus life mission was to seek and save the lost. He did that with 12 Disciples, that he trained and taught to do the same. I doubt that Jesus wanted that to sop with them. We need to do it TODAY... and in order to get it done we have to operate as ONE

    Operating as one Philippians 2 [1-11] 1 Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? 2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and ...read more
