    Worship Fully Series

    based on 4 ratings

    This message is for the first week of Advent. Our church is doing the Advent Conspiracy and this week we look at Worshipping Fully.

    Have you ever given any thought to the story of Cain and Abel? Perhaps its the fact that today we were taking up a special offering - or maybe its because of our topic this morning, but I’ve had the story of Cain and Abel in my mind all week... This mornings topic is ‘Worship Fully’ - It’s the ...read more

    In our Stories from the O.T. series we look at the store of Cain and Able and see how anger can ruin our lives.

    Cain and Abel Dealing with Anger 1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in process of time it came to pass, that ...read more

    What's The Significance Of A Shepherd? Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Jan 5, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 23,218 views

    This message looks at the significance of the shepherd and how it is essential to understanding God’s plan for church leadership.

    The image of the shepherd seems somewhat irrelevant to modern Americans. Without a doubt this makes it quite difficult to communicate God’s plan for church leadership. The picture of the shepherd fails to connect with us in the modern church. Shepherds would have been as common to the original ...read more

    The story of Cain. Intimacy with God and family and self is lost. He no longer feels accepted. He lives in fear. God warns Cain... but Cain chooses to turn his back on God and walks away. Peter and Judas both betrayed and denied Jesus, one walked to

    Are you a Cain or an Abel?! Signs of hope amidst the story of the progressive decline of the human race...

    Introduction We live in a time that some have called ‘the season of the knife’. Twenty seven London teenagers have been murdered this year so far. Many families all over this region today are heartbroken. To them the Cain and Abel story would be too hard to hear. They would perhaps be too sensitive ...read more

    Why was Cain’s sacrifice unacceptable to God?

    GENESIS 4:1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the LORD.” 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain ...read more

    Firstfruits is intended to be about giving, real giving, not God taking it from you, but learning why God wants you to give, how He designed us to be givers….And perhaps the most important teaching about giving is the one we miss the most. Is that God wa

    An Acceptable Offering

    Let’s see if we can look at these offerings from God’s perspective and maybe we can make some conclusions that may help us better offer our sacrifices to God.

    An Acceptable Offering Genesis 4:1-4:8 Two shopkeepers were bitter rivals. Their stores were directly across the street from each other, and they would spend each day keeping track of each other¡¦s business. If one got a customer, he would smile in triumph at his rival.

    Marked Men

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 22, 2009
     | 5,527 views

    Cain’s problem is ours: we are fearful and anxious if someone else seems to be getting ahead of us, and our anxiety is the root of our violence. But in God’s curse there is a mercy and a clue for brotherliness.

    For today’s message we are going back to the earliest moments in human history to look at one of the most basic issues in human life. We are looking at the way we feel about differences, and what we do about that feeling. The Book of Genesis, in its opening stories, teaches us about what it means ...read more

    Escaping Temptations

    We see Cain yielding to sin and falling bait to it just because of his heart condition. He did not take any stand to rule over it or run from it. He just yielded. For Cain (and for us) there is an exit on every level of temptation, and we need to see the

    Opening illustration: When we sin we often do so with the futile hope that we shall obtain the maximum amount of pleasure at the minimum penalty. It seldom works that way, however.

    The touch of God changes us, particularly those set aside for ministry.

    February 16, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis There are two realities that flow directly from our understanding that there is a God and I’m not God. The first is that we owe God everything. The second is that we have to behave toward God and other human beings in the way He intends. The new atheist, ...read more

    We are people who live in community. Cain didn’t realize that and saw his brother as competition rather than a companion.
