    Trusting in God’s Promises Hebrews 6:13-20 Introduction: Life has taught us that “promises are made to be broken.” For this reason we have learned to take most of them with a grain of salt. Yet the Christian faith calls us to stake our eternal destinies upon the promises of God. For this reason it ...read more

    In a world where everything changes it is reassuring to know that we have an eternal home in heaven.

    “There’s no place like home…there’s no place like home…there’s no place like home.” That is all that Dorothy had to say in order to return to her home in Kansas. (Well she also had to close her eyes and click her glass slippers together as well.) If you are familiar with the movie The Wizard of ...read more

    Don’t Leave Your Glorious Perch! 1) Mt. Sinai was just a stopping place. 2) Mt. Zion is your home.

    Do you know what a “false” summit is? A false summit is a lesser peak on a mountain. It looms large from lower elevations giving hikers the impression that once they reach the top of that peak they will have conquered the mountain. Of course that’s not the case. The false summit just blocks the ...read more

    Rejoice with an Ancient Easter Hymn 1) Jesus was not abandoned to the grave) 2) We will enjoy eternal pleasures at God’s right hand

    What’s your favourite thing about Easter? Is it the candy? Colouring eggs? Getting a new outfit to wear for the occasion?

    Four Keys To Being Rewarded By Christ

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 1, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 2,757 views

    This message concentrates on the fact that not everyone receives rewards from Christ and four of the things we need to be doing to make sure that we do.

    BIG POINT: “Not everyone is rewarded by Christ.” - vv. 24a, 27b. - v. 24a makes it clear that being in the race does not mean you win a prize (although I think the analogy breaks down at the idea that only one person could win a prize). - v. 27b is talking about being disqualified for a prize, ...read more
