based on 5 ratings

Your image may allow you to start well, but only your integrity will allow you to finish well.

Some years ago a remarkable picture was exhibited in London. As you looked at it from a distance, you seemed to see a monk engaged in prayer, his hands clasped, his head bowed. As you came nearer, however, and examined the painting more closely, you saw that in reality he was squeezing a lemon into ...read more

Part of an Easter series this sermon looks at the OT foreshadows of the cross. In this sermon the scapegoat analogy is applied to Jesus.

THE GOAT THAT GOT AWAY Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to blame all your troubles on someone else? You know, when you fail at some project, pass the blame off on someone who caused you to mess up.

Peter thought he had been disqualified from future ministry because of his denial. How can we understand the forgiveness and reconciliation that Jesus had for Peter. How does it apply to us today?

April, 2007 Father’s Day Sermon I Go a Fishin’ John 21:1-15 INTRODUCTION: Peter, once again the spokesman of the group said, “I go a fishin’,” and the others said, “We’ll go with you.” It may have been just an overnight fishing trip or maybe he was getting hungry and just wanted to catch a few ...read more

Not neccesarily just an Easter message. Even with all of the wondrous signs that the close followers of Jesus had observed, they were still without understanding of what Jesus had come to do. We suffer much the same.

Life In The Spirit Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jun 26, 2002

based on 234 ratings

| 13,179 views

If we wonder whether we’re truly followers of Christ then this is one way God helps us: are our minds set on the things of God, is our failure to obey, something we struggle with, do we relate to God as our father, rather than someone distant and remote?

I keep coming across people who are struggling with whether their faith is real. People whose Christian experience is something like what Paul describes at the end of Romans 7. They struggle to believe that they could be truly God’s children when their life is so full of sin. If you’re one of those ...read more

Don’t be ashamed of the gospel. It’s the power of God for salvation for those who believe

What I want to do today is to look at these opening verses of this letter to the Romans and think about why Paul wrote it. What we’ll find is that Paul’s motivation comes from a sense of responsibility for the great gift God has given him in the gospel, his confidence comes from the power of God he ...read more

based on 9 ratings

Dwelling on the past will put our journey into the future into jeopardy. Focusing on the future, where God is already waiting, will produce victory in life. We need a clearer vision of what lies ahead in order to be truly victorious in Christ.

Reflect on the Past but Get a Vision of the Future Sunday. December 30, 2012 By Rev.
