    based on 1 rating
     | 3,780 views

    Jesus had broken down the barriers between the diverse elements of the church. We have one faith, one Lord, and one baptism. From the cross flows the river of peace.

    Ephesians 2:11-22 “The Source of Peace” INTRODUCTION When we think of heaven, we conjure up many images. The Jews imagine a place of feasting and celebrating. Our Teutonic and Scandinavian ancestors couldn’t quite conceive of heaven being a party place, so they pictured a place of peace that ...read more

    I felt challenged to preach this because of the un-biblical approach to giving in my largest Church, & try to explain that our giving either honours or dishonours God.

    Proverbs 3:1-18 Malachi 3:6-12 Texts: Proverbs 3:9 -10 ‘Honour the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. ’ Malachi 3:10 ‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may ...read more

     | 6,936 views

    Sometimes, we have to put feet to our prayers and go after what we’ve asked for.

    Proverbs 15:8- “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.” In his book Invitation to a Journey, Robert Mulholland writes, “Prayer is the act by which the people of God become incorporated into the presence and action ...read more

    Many of us are passionate about something or the other in our life. The important thing is … if we are Christians – Are we passionate about God more than anything else in our lives? When Christ was sent to earth, it was because the Father had unprecedente

    God loves us and wants us to choose the road less travelled, the one that leads to Him: to life, the freedom, to joy.

    The Feast Homily - May 12, 2015 [This is a message given at an inner-city mission in downtown Toronto, to a mixed audience, most of whom come primarily for the meal] Last week Pastor Jan asked a really important question.

    God often works in layers, fulfilling His promises sometimes figuratively, then more literally, and then fully.

    Drawn to the Light (Isaiah 60) 1. Israel My Glory magazine documents how two journalists were treated in Paris and London when they walked around with a skull cap and prayer shawl. 2. Within 60- seconds, they were spit upon, cursed, threatened, people threw things at them, and they were told to ...read more

    -Simeon prophesied about the impact of Christ on the world . . . it WAS TRUE THEN, and it is TRUE NOW! NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

    To open this sermon I used 3 current examples of what is flying in the face of Christianity in our nation, in our culture, and in our society. LUKE 2:25-35 25 And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and ...read more

    How can John the Baptist be Elijah the prophet? Reincarnation? Malachi 4:5 (NLT) gives a prophecy about Elijah. It says "Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives."

    Part 5 - Matthew 11:13-14 - IN A PREVIOUS LIFE I WAS A DOLPHIN? I asked some friends what they thought about REINCARNATION last night and got some funny responses - should have known.

    The values of the kingdom of Heaven are really different from the values of the world. And the greatest value of God's kingdom is really counter-culture, even though the culture gives lip service to it.

    Passage: Matthew 18:1-9 Intro: Growing up in the 1960’s, we learned the meaning of “counter-culture” 1. whole group of people called hippies who marched to a new set of values. 2. they called it “the new morality”, which Christians said was just “the old ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,776 views

    Too much salt is bad for you! Christians are like salt. The world can only take us in small doses. The Bible says it’s not that too much salt is bad for you but that salt mixed with too much dirt loses it’s flavour and is of no use.

    Matthew 5 - Part 10 - Too much salt is bad for your health! I use a saline solution for my contact lenses. It has the same salty consistency as my tears have. Without it I could not clean my lenses and putting them in would be difficult. I’m told that too much salt is bad for you. The Bible says ...read more
