    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 4, 2010

     | 5,308 views

    Now here’s a passage that many Christians use to say that we ought to live in poverty and give away everything we own to the poor. Or the watered down version says that we should never be rich, only just earn enough money to live.

    Matthew 6 – Part 6 - SO ARE YOU SAYING GOD WANTS ME TO BE POOR? I’ve never had all that much money in my life. Still don’t. But I’ve never lived in poverty either. I remember being down to I think $10 in our account. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be rich, but mostly all I want is to ...read more

    What Lazarus is at the gate of our house? How do we move from pride to compassion?

    At The Gate, Luke 16:19-31 Introduction Isn’t light self-revealing? Do we need to stand out in the street and shout to those who pass by, "That’s the sun," as we point to it in all its brightness? The sun is self-revealing in the same sense that Jesus Christ was and is the Light of the world. The ...read more

    We are discussing different things we love more than God, and money is our focus in this lesson.

    This is my wallet. I have had this wallet since I was in 7th grade. I got for Christmas from our family’s German exchange student, Eike.

    The Lukewarm Church

    Contributed by Charles Scott on Aug 2, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,474 views

    The deceitfulness of riches and the feeling of self-sufficiency are threats to Christian faith and life. Jesus warns against worldliness and the lukewarm attitude of Christians in Laodicea. Christians must return to their first love of Christ to avoid

    Revelation 3__4-22 the Lukewarm Church "Blessed are the Lukewarm." Jesus never said that, but from the lackadaisical attitude of many of his followers, you would think that was one of his beatitudes. That is the attitude of our Western Civilization and cultural Christians. That was the attitude ...read more

    A man has his priorities wrong and Jesus had to tell him this parable to address it. You can be doing nothing wrong and yet not be right. • The farmer wasn’t doing anything sinful but he was not doing it right. • He is hardworking, and probably smart, seeing the way he organises his farm. • He is ...read more

     | 43,787 views

    The Laodicean Church had become complacent & apatetic about the cause of Christ because its members were involved in the worldly activities of the affluent society in which they lived. Jesus tells them that He would not accept their luke-warm attitude.

    Revelation 3: 14-22 THE COMPLACENT CHURCH [Matthew 2:19-34] The letters to the seven churches are God’s X-rays, given so that we might examine our own lives and ministries. Judgment is going to come to this world, but it first begins at the ...read more

     | 9,417 views

    One of the most difficult teaching (Yet true) teachings of Jesus concerns the "eye of the needle". While this is not a theological exegesis of the text, this message speaks to practical truths found in this text.

    The Principle of “The Eye of the Needle” Luke 18:18-30 * "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." These are the words of Jesus as recorded for 3 of ...read more

    AN ORDER OF PRECEDENCE. Matthew 19:13-30. 1. In today’s passage, we see the disciples forbidding those who would bring little children to Jesus (Matthew 19:13).

We don’t always agree or understand with what God does, but God’s ways and our ways are different, God’s thoughts and our thoughts are different.

     | 7,623 views

    In the Parable of the Rich Man & Lazarus, the Rich Man claims that his 5 brothers have not been warned of the dangers of Hell. The Lord Jesus says that the Scriptures are sufficient warning to them and that no additional warning is necessary.

     | 12,037 views

    We live in an image-driven culture and our churches seem to be buying into the concept in their efforts to reach people, but more than ever, what people need is for us to be genuine followers of Christ. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.
