    You Are Not Your Own

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 20, 2017
     | 10,938 views

    Sexual sin is ubiquitous in contemporary society; it is often excused among the faithful. We need to live with a focus on the Cross if we will honour God with our bodies in the midst of a world that has surrendered to the appetites of the flesh.

    “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So, glorify God in your body.” [1] Accepting Christ as Saviour transforms life—attitudes and actions take on new significance. The adage ...read more

    This passage centers around one basic truth for people that believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. People that believe in God and in Jesus Christ are considered to be “children of God.” Focus on purity as God's children.

    This message encourages believers to take the Word of God, and living for Christ seriously. We often take it all too lightly, but this message spurs them on to a higher standard.

    “This Is Intense!” Text: Romans 1:16-17, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

     | 4,472 views

    A message delivered as a charge to the church on the occasion of the ordination of new Deacons.

    This passage not only speaks to the qualifications for new Deacons (v. 3 - faithful, reputable, spiritual, maturing, responsible), but to the primary purpose for Deacons in a local church. The purpose for Deacons is to guard the unity of the church. In the Book of Acts, Satan attacks the church in ...read more

    A sermon telling us of the hope we have in the Lord Jesus; to not despair or give up, but to persevere and keep our focus on the hope of Him. (Another sermon I did from one I found on Sermon Central.)

    There have been many prestigious people throughout the years who have been atheists, but have come to the Lord and ended up saying and doing great things that helped others see Jesus more clearly. Malcolm Muggeridge was a British journalist who was an atheist. He was so good, that he was ...read more

     | 4,304 views

    This message examines God’s motivation for the incarnation.

    Why would the Son of God want to become human? What would possess Him to leave His eternal home to enter this world plagued by pain and sorrow?

    This is the final message in a series from the book of Lamentations.

    Our culture is perhaps the most unique culture to ever exist on the earth. Our mindset is unlike any other in history. We live in what is called a “Post Modern” world.
