Service: The Great Difference Maker

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Sep 10, 2005

All churches have problems, but when we serve together in the unity, and power of the Holy Spirit there is no problem that will overcome or distract us from our main purpose. Taking the Gospel to all the world.

Intro: A rather pompous-looking deacon was working hard to impress upon a class of boys the importance of living the Christian life. “Why do people call me a Christian?” the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one of the boys said, “Maybe it’s because they don’t know you.” The answer I believe the ...read more

Isaiah's Woes

Contributed by Ian Lyall on Sep 28, 2005

In Isaiah 5, the prophet pronounces God’s coming judgment on a sinful society. Much of what Isaiah taught applies to the West today. We need to pray for forgiveness

Isaiah 5:8-30 I think we might well call Isaiah’s fifth chapter the chapter of ’woes’! And for that reason we tend to skip it by. It’s all too judgmental and too depressing. We say we want something to cheer us on our way; we want something to lift our spirits. We don’t want all this judgemental ...read more

Fix Our Eyes On The Unseen

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 3, 2005

Do not be discouraged. Keep looking at (1) that which is unseen, and (2) that which is ahead. That is the unseen work of God in our lives, and the heavenly home the Lord has prepared for us.

Paul says, “Do not lose heart.” It is amazing to find Paul having such a cheerful heart, after all that he has encountered in life. He went through a lot of hardships. We know that because he tells us personally in 2 Cor 11:24-27, “Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. ...read more

Desperate Housewives (Jacob Marries Rachel And Leah) Series

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Aug 9, 2006

God uses the painful consequence of sin to discipline us and bring us closer to him.

Of all the TV shows we have based our “Jake TV” sermon themes on so far, Desperate Housewives is one show I wouldn’t recommend. Here is a typical plotline: “Susan is dismayed to see her ex-husband, Karl, emerge from Edie’s house one morning. She runs over to confront him and he admits he spent the ...read more

BECOMING GREAT - Matthew 20:20-28 If you look at this passage, and the passages surrounding it, it is easy to get upset with the disciples, especially with James and John, for their narrow-mindedness, for their inappropriateness, and for their poor timing.

Be The Child Of Your Parent's Dreams

Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Aug 14, 2006

Obeying our parents is a divine mandate.

Allow me to share a “wish list” of what parents wants to hear from their kids. Parents would love to hear their kids say, “Who cares if I don’t have a cell phone?” Or, “You can just forget about my allowance for this week. I will use my savings.” When there’s a new hi-tech toy in town, how they ...read more
