    Evil is so seductive, so easy, so clothed in plausible promises of free lunches and quick fixes, that if we are not vigilant we will find ourselves in slavery to the enemy of God.

    Monsters coming up from the deep have a long and colorful history. From Leviathan to the Loch Ness Monster, from the giant squid in 10,000 Leagues under the sea to the “here be monsters” with which mapmakers once marked the limits of the unknown, the sea has been the source of fear for ...read more

    What do people visit cemeteries to find? Dead people. So, why would the angels ask "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

    I think the happiest people on earth are those who have a close relationship to the Christ. Where are you choices leading you to try and find happiness? In a place or in a person?

     | 6,564 views

    Because God’s Word mattered to Jesus, it should matter to us and we should do everything we can to live according to the principles we find there.

    Over the years, I’ve found that one of the issues that Christ followers struggle with the most is how we are to apply the Old Testament in our lives. In fact, five years ago when I preached a series of messages based on questions submitted to me by all of you, that was the most common question that ...read more

    In The Mist Of The Sea

    Contributed by Martin Holland on Mar 30, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,350 views

    The Bible often refers to the population of people as the sea. I find in the scriptures the parallel between the troubles in this life as the trouble sea. How do we sail the sea of life?

    In The Mist of Sea With Jesus Matt. 14:22-33 Jesus spent most of His ministering around the Sea of Galilee which is also called the Sea of Tiberias. After the feeding of the 5,000 He sends His disciples unto the other side toward Capernaum, but unto Bethsaida the northern part of the sea. And ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,659 views

    God is unknowable, yet there are clues in the world around us to his existence if only we'll look. The existence of God is the simplest explanation for what we find there.

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. “I have seen the business that God has ...read more

    As we come close to the returning of Jesus Christ the persecution will become more intense and even in those days we can find encouragement in the Truth of God’s word.

    Encouragement in Times of Persecution 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12 Introduction How many of you think that Jesus is coming back to earth this week?

     | 4,275 views

    "When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" We talk about our disappointment with God, but is God ever puzzled by our lack of faith?

    The parable of the widow and the unjust judge relates to our disappointment with God. Like the mistreated widow, we often wonder why God allows so much pain and injustice to go on. We pray and pray and yet no answer comes. The righteous perish and the wicked flourish. Sometimes we even wonder, ...read more
