    People are supposed to call 911 for emergencies only, but many people don’t understand or follow the rule. Police emergency operators in Colorado Springs have received calls from people reporting a TV set that wasn’t working, asking when it was going to s

    Never Too Late?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 19, 2006

    This is a short talk given at a lunch for mainly elderly people, many of whom have known recent bereavement, and some of whom may not yet consider themselves Christians or Church Members.

    Never too late? Shortly after I passed my driving test I was due to travel from my then home in Yateley, Hampshire, UK for a weekend away somewhere in Wales. It was the furthest I had ever driven at the time and my mother very kindly allowed me to use her car. Sadly the car was (for me back then) ...read more

    The Joy of Pentecost Acts 2:1-4 The NKJ Bible Acts 2:1-4 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they ...read more

    Salvation is more than just saying yes. It’s more than just being baptized. It’s more than going to church. It’s a lifetime commitment to the most wonderful friend of them all.

    I was listening to a sermon by R. C. Sproul and he quoted a theologian from some college somewhere. I didn’t catch the guys name but when I heard the quote it got my attention. “Religion is the Opiate of the people” (Explain) Kills pain Takes away our problems Temporary Fix There’s a slight ...read more

    It is better to be cleansed from the roots of evil than to be lead from the different forms of prisons that they build around us.

    On the second Sunday of Advent, Mark 1.1-8 calls our attention to the person of John the Baptist. John is a figure of confrontation. This confrontation is interior in nature. It has to do with our inner self. It is the greatest challenge of cleansing ourselves innerly. Tom was a quite boy. His ...read more

    Isn’t it amazing that people in Jesus day were so blind, while the demons were so clear about who Jesus was?

    The miracle in Gadara. Mark 5:1 -- 20. 11/23/03 Down in South Carolina, there was this area part swamp land and wooded area pretty far from any house. One evening I decided I would go hunting in that area. I would carry my bow and arrows and tree stand about a mile and one-half back in the ...read more

    Too many times we get caught up in situations that put us at a crossroad and we find it difficult to figure out which way is the best way to go. That is because the devil is good at what he does, his job is to make the wrong choice look as right as possi

    The Bad And Good Of Leaven

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Aug 19, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,785 views

    I think Jesus is saying here that I can take care of divine multiplication, and I can handle a miracle! However, I can’t help those who take in and receive the leaven of this world!

    The Bad and Good of Leaven Text: Matthew 16:5-12 5 Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is ...read more

    It’s proven that the majority of people who attend church come just for themselves, or for their children and grandchildren to interact. Historically people don’t come to church to watch others grow, or to be a blessing and to help people grow in their wa

    “5 way’s to Do the Father’s Will” Text: John 6: 28-38 28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” 30 Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform ...read more

    Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead even though he had been there 4 days. Let’s look at the significance of this story.

    BACKGROUND:  Mary & Martha sent a messenger to Jesus to let him know that Lazarus was very sick.  Jesus didn’t drop everything and run to where he was at. He stayed. My question, where was He? o Jesus was in Bethabara – read John 10:40-42 o This passage tells us that it was the ...read more

    It's interesting to me that Jesus called His disciples to leave the crowd and His disciples and they experience some spiritual warfare as they cross to the other side of the lake. Why would Jesus miss this opportunity, when He had a crowd gathered?

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - WHEN JESUS SKIPS OUT ON CHURCH, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! I remember as a young student Pastor being invited to a Church for afternoon tea. They said they wanted to pray for me. What I didn't realise is that they wanted to pray for me to be their Pastor. At the end ...read more

    This is a sermon outlining the benefits of continully being involved in a relationally based small group, and how the enemy tries to steer us away from this sort of fellowship.

    THE BENEFITS OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CELL GROUP Acts 5:42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.

    Are you ready to drop everything and follow Jesus? That’s exactly what He’s expecting when He asks "Follow Me?"

    Let’s Go Fishing 18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and ...read more
