    Contributed by Matthew Oliver on Jan 7, 2002
    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,865 views

    In many ways the Christian church is a church in exile as many of our traditional power bases have been lost. We are not to focus on things of man, but things of God, in prayer and faith. Perseverance in prayer is the key.

    A Church in Exile, and our Response. Sermon for Proper 29, Year C 21 October 2001 St John the Evangelist, Cold Lake Jeremiah 31:27-34 Psalm 119:94-104 2 Tim 3:14-4:5 Luke 18:1-8 One of the joys of being a Lay Reader is the privilege of preaching God’s word before His people.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,205 views

    As believers, thanksgiving should not be a once a year event, or for that matter even a once a week event, but should be a continual state of mind, The first thing we do in the morning, and the last thing we do at night

    Thanksgiving, a matter of the Heart Philippians 4:4-9 NKJ 4. Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! 5. Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 6.

    It is possible to know about Jesus but not really know Jesus. If you truly know Jesus it will be shown by the way you live your life and the things you do not by the things you say you believe.

    Who Is This? - Matthew 21: 1 - 11 Intro: A lady was driving home one night in really nasty weather. It was pouring down rain and difficult to see.

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,568 views

    "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar, and to God the things that are God’s." A great text for teaching about paying your taxes, but an even better passage to remind us of our commitment to Jesus Christ.

    Matt 22:15-22 (parallels in Mark 12:13–17 and Luke 20:20–26) The Jews were desperately seeking to discredit Jesus, because within the context, He was speaking parables against them. They would stop at nothing to do so. Within the context of this verse, various groups ask Him questions ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 20,094 views

    Boredom is a constant complaint of many workers, but Solomon points to the one thing that can turn the emptiness of the workplace into a powerful tool for our faith. What is this "one thing" that can makes such a big difference for us?

    How many things do we need to "add" to Jesus to have a fulfilled life? We find it easy to find comfort, meaning, significance in so many things beside Jesus.
