    A different message on JOY (the theme of the third week of Advent) that focuses on joy that comes from serving God.

    It’s the 3rd week of Advent – have you been keeping up at home? I hope so. Today’s topic is JOY. Just as in the past weeks with peace and hope, JOY is a huge subject that we will barely scratch the surface of today. But I want to use a great story from John 4 to show you one way that Jesus said you ...read more

    Not Ashamed Of The Gospel Series

     | 8,409 views

    Don’t be ashamed of the gospel. It’s the power of God for salvation for those who believe

    What I want to do today is to look at these opening verses of this letter to the Romans and think about why Paul wrote it. What we’ll find is that Paul’s motivation comes from a sense of responsibility for the great gift God has given him in the gospel, his confidence comes from the power of God he ...read more

    In these verses, there are at least three indicators of how believers prepared for and displayed openness to the Holy Spirit acting powerfully through their lives and through the church.

    Preparing for Spiritual Breakthrough Acts 1:13ff It is the model church. Members of the church are involved in daily sharing their faith, so that friends, family and associates were making regular decisions for Christ. On two occasions the church has had a crowd of thousands making a first time ...read more

    Lawful Authority Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 25, 2011
     | 3,657 views

    Some authority is built into the fabric of God's very creation, and our response to earthly authority - whether we wield it or submit to it - reflects our acceptance of God's authority.

    Many scholars and preachers treat today's passage as an extension of last week's exhortation for husbands and wives to submit to one another. They call the section between chapter 5 verse 21 and chapter 6 verse 9 "house codes." Paul almost certainly drew from well-known early Christian teachings ...read more

    Listening to God requires absolute, coourageous obedience to Christ.

    “Renewable Energy: Listen Up!” Luke 9:28-36 There are many ways to say “Listen!” For example: “Shh! Listen!” - a whispered command so as not to disturb someone. Or “LISTEN TO ME!” - a loud command to get attention in as noisy place. Or “OK. ...read more

    Just what good is a promise? Why should we believe it? Why should we trust the promise-giver?

    “When Heaven Comes Down: Our Trust Is Validated” Luke 1:26-38 It’s the last day of swimming lessons, the day of the final testing. The tests determine which swimmers advance to the next level. The last test is to jump into the deep water. The instructor, of course, was already in ...read more

    Is the Holy Spirit some sort of supernatural force in the universe? No, He is more than that, He is as much God as the Father and the Son and He has a ministry in the New Testament. Today we look at the ministry of the Holy Spirit to the non-believer.

    Introduction The Trinity, the Great Three in One, as we look at these three we can understand the thought process somewhat of a father, we all have had fathers here on earth, some good, some not so good. I was blessed to have a good father and he taught me a lot. We are all sons, so we can is ...read more

    “foolishness of preaching” does not mean foolish preaching, the meaning here is, --to the minds of the so called intelligent thinkers, it was “foolishness” God is not calling it foolishness, He is pointing out that these great thinkers said it was foolish

    Freedom For The Captives Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,331 views

    Paul's whole plea to Philemon is to act the way the loving Father acted: to welcome home the beloved son; to restore him to fellowship with the family. There will be, and have been, occasions when we'll be called to respond to wrongdoers the same way.

    There's something quite different about reading this letter compared with all Paul's other letters. In all the others, even those addressed to individuals, the focus is on the Church where they're ministering. But here there's a much more personal feel to the correspondence. You can feel the warmth ...read more

    Jesus told his disciples to open their eyes for the fields were ripe for harvest. He's telling us the same thing.

    THE HARVEST John 4:27-42 1) Turning sorrow into joy (vs. 27-30). Vs. 28-she left her water jar. Where once she was fixated on literal water, now, after hearing about living water, her fixation is on that instead; so much so that she runs to tell others about it. How about us?
