    Praying With Jesus: Our Father Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 12, 2019
     | 5,444 views

    The Lord's Prayer begins with defining the relationship: God our Father is strong, loving, and faithful/

    Have you ever said something like this? “I don’t know how it happened. I got sucked in, and I couldn’t seem to avoid it.” “Why did I say that? It was stupid and wrong—and I didn’t really mean to.” “I want that so bad! I know I really shouldn’t, but…” “Man, what was I thinking? How did I let it ...read more

    Philippians is the letter of joy and encouragement in the midst of adverse circumstances. Adverse? Are we in adverse times? Yes, I’d say so.

    OUTLINE My Phillipians series was cut short for COVID-19. I'm coming back to Phil 3 and 4 with some special messages. The messages are shorter and I intend to preach no longer than 25 minutes due to livestreaming. The Way of Joy Philippians 3:7-11 (ESV) What is God’s Will in all of ...read more

    Why is Jesus' post Resurrection appearance to Mary Magdalene one of John's four post Resurrection stories

    TSJ and TSL 22-07-2018 A touch from the Risen Lord If John’s Gospel had finished with Chapter 19, it would not be something special. All biographies generally end with the death of the person who is the subject of the book. Imagine if it had been with the Gospels. The chances are we would ...read more

    "Life, Water And Thirst”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jul 26, 2018
     | 4,014 views

    Your unchurched, non believing friends and neighbors are thirsty for security regarding their eternal address. Leonard Sweet calls them “day trippers asking for direction…..scouting the horizon for hope, spiritual truth, our souls are thirsty.

    Harsh drought conditions in parts of the American West are pushing wild horses to the brink and spurring extreme measures to protect them.

    The Pharisee And The Tax Collector

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jul 29, 2018
     | 6,358 views

    Some people soak in their own righteousness; others seek a righteousness not their own. It is the latter who are in a right standing with God.

    HOW DO YOU KNOW that you’re right with God? Can you know such a thing? When I was in the eleventh grade, one of my friends took his own life. Some of you have heard me tell that story. I don’t want to get into the details now, but I do want to talk about the effect my friend’s death had on me. ...read more

    Begin Well Series

     | 5,067 views

    We will only begin the race well when we identify, and full confess, our spiritual bankruptcy to Jesus. There are no achievements, or spiritual outcomes, which make us worthy of God’s attention. It is only our faith in the great exchange that Jesus is willing to make for us.

    God knows the beginning and and the end of every situation that happens to us. He wants us to trust Him and have faith everything will work out in our favor, because that’s the way God Says things will always go when you are willing to let Him be in charge of the final results!”

    Thanksgiving is over, what now? Traditionally we celebrate Thanksgiving and we take the time to be thankful for the things that we have already received and the things that God has done in our lives. There are two conditions related to what we have and are experiencing, as to why we are ...read more

    I'm Too Proud To Be Humble Series

    A simple Christmas Day sermon around the theme of humility. A little shorter than normal and I tried to be jargon free.

    Introduction—humility. Someone once said, “Swallow your pride occasionally, it’s non-fattening”. I wish on a day like today that fruit cake, chocolate and pavlova were non-fattening. One of my favourite humility sayings is, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, its thinking of yourself ...read more

    Seeking knowledge from God pleases Him and helps us to discern and apply it correctly.

    We are given some background to this passage. David was King of Israel for forty years. He ruled seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. Solomon succeeded his father after a bit of a struggle for succession and you can read about it in First Kings, Chapter 1. We know a few ...read more

    The Price Of Freedom

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 25, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,444 views

    We must understand that Christ paid the ultimate price for our freedom from sin and the clutches of Satan. The price of our freedom from sin was paid in blood. How do we respond to that sacrifice will ultimately determine our eternity too!

    Opening illustration: When I talked to some young men shortly before D-day during Gulf War II, I observed that they were scared. None of them wanted to die. However, the vast majority expressed their conviction that the cause for which they were fighting was right and worthy of the risk. Queen ...read more

    Practically every person you ask will claim that they believe in God. Most people claim to believe in God and have some idea in their minds about what God is like. So how can we tell if we really believe in God?

    Tonight, we continue our study in 1 John. We have seen through this study that there are many misconceptions about God. We’ve looked at three of them. We took seven tests that proved if we really knew God. We just finished six tests that prove that we really love God. Now we take four ...read more

    Peter And Easter

    Contributed by James Hickman on Mar 19, 2016
     | 7,381 views

    How did Peter greet the first Easter? His failure before the crucifixion may have kept him from fully appreciating what Easter meant. Using the clues given in the gospels and elsewhere, the sermon discusses how Jesus dealt with Peter's failure and fear.

    Peter and Easter Luke 24:12 Though the women told and retold the story of their experience at the empty tomb, the Eleven and the other disciples didn't believe them. It was just too incredible. Yet, Peter seems to have decided something must have happened at the tomb and determined to find out ...read more

    We live in an age when it has never been more important to know what we believe, and why, and who it is we follow, and how, and where.

    I think Philip must have been from Missouri - you kow, the “show me” state. He’s just as much a doubter as Thomas, if not worse! Remember how Thomas got his nickname? After the resurrection, Jesus appeared to all the disciples but Thomas, and when they told him what had happened, Thomas didn’t ...read more
