    It is curiously odd that people who are filled with horrified indignation whenever a cat kills a sparrow can hear the story of the killing of God told Sunday after Sunday and not experience any shock at all.

    “Why did you go, Why did you die?” • Prayer The mother of a nine-year-old boy named Mark received a phone call in the middle of the afternoon. It was the teacher from her son’s school. "Mrs. Smith, something unusual happened today in your son’s third grade class. Your son did something that ...read more

    How to Run the Race (Pt. I) Sermon – July 24th 2005 Perseverance is a word and in particular a concept that is largely foreign to people in Western society. But it is something that we, as God’s people must grasp. We have to trust that as we do the work of God, He will do His part – He will give ...read more

    He Is The Lord

     | 2,343 views

    Gleaned from John Ortberg’s Book - "If you want to walk on the water, you have to get out of the boat". This teaches us that we must understand exactly "who" the Lord is.

    HE is the Lord Matthew 25:14-30 > Dr. Tim Lahaye tells the story (which I have repeated many times, but which perfectly illustrates a point); it’s about a husband who was receiving marital counseling. The obvious truth was that He and His wife were at odds with each other and were in the mode of ...read more

    In Jesus’ teaching on prayer, we learn that "prayer is not asking for what we think we need but asking to be changed in ways we can’t imagine."

    Luke 11:1-13 “Beyond Asking” INTRODUCTION Where did you learn how to pray? Our parents may have taught us bedtime prayers, or said grace before meals. We’ve heard about prayer in Sunday school and sermons. Prayer has been demonstrated in worship services. We may have even taken a class on ...read more

    In order to stay unified, we are to relate to each other the way we relate to Jesus, and in our relationships, be like Jesus.

    Philippians 2:1-11 Staying Unified Canadian & American Worms Joke My experience in church life can be like that, but often times it is more that the worms are crawling over one another to get on top!

The Bible says that there is great joy in salvation (possessing the Spirit). Knowing our sins are forgiven and having assurance of future rest brings a joy that the ...read more

     | 7,635 views

    Sure, Noah behaves badly. He gets drunk and naked in his tent. He fails his family. He fails God in that he’s way out of control. But remember it is Ham’s disrespect, not Noah’s failures that feature in this story.

    Genesis 9 – Part 6 – ARE MY KIDS CURSED WHEN I CRITICISE MY PARENTS? What grandfather would curse his grandson? Especially since the bone he had to pick was with his son, not his grandson. And the horrible thing is that God seems to go along with the curse! History shows that ...read more
