    From the first two verses of Romans 12 we discover practical advise to enable us to escape the pressure of the world and to renew our minds so we are able to present our bodies to God as a living sacrifice.

    Blueprint #1: Romans 12:1-2 INTRODUCTION: Back when we lived in Arcadia we hired a building contractor to build a house for us. Part of the process involved selecting and approving a blueprint. The good thing about a blueprint is that nothing is left to the imagination when it comes to the ...read more

    The Focus Of A Successful Church

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Jan 11, 2014
     | 9,470 views

    To really succeed as a church, we must focus on God’s standards. First, we focus on one message. Second, we must focus on one ministry. Finally, we must focus on one mission.

    I read about a guy who saw a building with a signboard “Church on a grill.” He got so curious that entered the building and, lo and behold, it was a steakhouse. He ordered premium steak and, in fairness, it was delicious. But he could not help but ask the waiter why the place is called ...read more

    Fake News Series

     | 15,426 views

    If you want to do well in an era of “fake news,” first, don’t believe everything you hear. Instead, consult the Lord about everything; keep your word and confront the lie.

    This last week, as I was preparing for this message, I came across some very interesting research. In His book, The Honest Truth about Dishonesty, Dan Ariely says, “Over the course of many years of teaching, I have noticed that there typically seems to be a rash of deaths among students' ...read more

    This message is a part of our 3:16 series and looks at the faith of the lead man carrying the ark into the Jordan River as they crossed into the promised land

    He was the first of the twelve. Slowly he walked along; his pace governed by the other eleven. The load on his shoulder was a burden but wasn’t nearly as heavy as his thoughts. His feet moved as if they were on auto pilot and his eyes remained fixed on the river in the distance. The dark ...read more

    Friends has God been dealing with you in a gentle way trying to lovingly get you to return to His light yet you resist? Have you heard message after message from preachers trying to convince you to step out of the darkness yet you continue to stay put.

    A Great Light As we near the Christmas season I want to continue with the theme of light. A few weeks ago I talked about the star that shone over Bethlehem and the wise men that followed the sign in the heavens. We talked about the signs that exist today in the night sky and about Jesus ...read more

    In order to love in action (not just principle or feeling) as Jesus did and commends us to follow, we must first see the people and world around us as Jesus sees them - from the perspective of the cross.

    CROSS-PERSPECTIVE Second in Series: “Love In Action” Rev. Todd G. Leupold Perth Bible Church July 6, 2008 AM INTRODUCTION: - As we celebrate this Independence Day weekend, it is fitting that we take a few moments to reflect on our view of our own place in this world.

    Just step aside, and allow God to take over. Let go and let God! Give up your gloom and doom, and put your future in God's hands. That worry that creases your brow and reminds you continually just how horrible your situation is can be turned into a smile.

    Opening illustration: Consider this scenario, the building all around you is burning. You are too far up to jump, because landing on the ground would surely kill you. The flames and smoke have forced you out of the window and onto the ledge. You are hanging onto the ledge to avoid the flames and ...read more

     | 9,976 views

    Jesus had to submit himself to his parents in order to grow up and mature in wisdom and understanding before he could step out into ministry. Should we not humble ourselves, submit to leaders over us and grow up spiritually, emptying ourselves of pride before we attempt to minister to others.

    Growing with Jesus Sunday, December 30, 2019 By Rev. James May From the time of Jesus’ birth to his appearance at the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist, little is known about Jesus’ childhood and growing up.

     | 17,372 views

    It is naïve to think that an evil spirit can’t come into a church. Or invade your home, or think that you are immune to the devils attacks. This is the first example of Jesus' power to heal the spiritual afflictions that possessed the human soul.

    Jesus Heals an Evil Spirit in the Church “In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit.” Luke 4:31-37 Intro: The city of Capernaum was on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee. It was a fishing village and along the major route about 200 miles from ...read more
