    The Up And Sideways Of Worship Series

    Contributed by Rick George on Apr 18, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,665 views

    We must have a vertical (worship toward God) and a horizontal (edification of the church) philosophy of worship.

    Have you ever wondered “Why do we gather together on Sunday mornings? What is the purpose of carving out of our busy week 2 – 3 hours to come to a place to be with other people to sing songs and to listen to a guy speak?” What is the purpose of congregational worship? I mean, you could be home ...read more

    Young women need godly mentors in order to fulfil the will of God concerning their essential role in society. Our prayer is for God to work among us to enlist older women as godly mentors to train young women how to be godly mothers and wives.

    TITUS 2:3-5 MOTHERS ARE MADE, NOT BORN “Older women likewise are to be reverent in behaviour, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive ...read more

    Holiness

    Explains that holiness is more than righteous actions, but is being specially set apart as the Temple of God and for the purpose of sharing the Good News. Also shows that the means of attaining holiness is the empowerment of the Holy Spirit of God.

    “Holiness” As someone who has grown up Pentecostal, I am very familiar with the term “holiness.” I’ve heard sermons on holiness from before the time I could even say the word. And I hear all kinds of people quoting “Be holy as I am holy” After all, several times God did say that to his people. And ...read more

    The Good Shepherd enables His sheep to have peace with God because He: 1) Dies for them (John 10:11–13), 2) Loves them (John 10:14–15), and 3) Unites them (John 10:16–21).

    Who - or what - is the “god of this world?” (1 Cor 4:3-4) Is he a living character, or an evil force within ourselves? In what way is the “god of this world” a fitting description? Is God in control, or is Satan the ruler of the realm we live in? •Are we

    The Gate Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,829 views

    The sermon focuses on Jesus as "the gate" that not only protects the sheep from harm, but also provides the entry point into the abundant life he intends for all of us.

    We are going through the book of John. Last week, we finished off the story of the blind man who was miraculously cured. Someone who was blind from birth. Jesus walked along the road, placed mud in the man’s eye, and said now go and wash, and he washed and he was healed. Not only was he ...read more

    Halloween: Is Evil A Red Herring?

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 19, 2021
     | 3,329 views

    The roots of Halloween have to do with pagan rituals but today, it’s more a night to celebrate. Not everything connected with the modern celebration is all fun and games. Any believer who is sensitive to the Holy Spirit will pull back on a number of elements associated with this celebration.

    According to the National Retail Federation, Americans will spend a projected $8.8 billion dollars on the holiday called Halloween in 2019. Almost 30 million will dress up and the average person will spend over $86 to celebrate. In fact, I have a neighbor who decorates more for Halloween than any ...read more

    Sheep And Goats Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 16, 2022
     | 3,155 views

    God’s kind of love … agape … doesn’t follow, it leads by example. It’s a verb. It acts. It leads our hearts. And it changes lives. It changes the life of the person acting in love and it changes the life of the person receiving the love.

    Ever get caught in the “if only” trap? You probably have … probably caught in it even now … and don’t even realize it. The “if only” trap works like this: “If only they would rise off the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher …” “If only they wouldn’t leave their dirty socks lying ...read more

    Some of the most inspirational people I’ve ever met have been blind.

    From Darkness to Light “As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” 38 He called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 Those who led ...read more

    The Savior saved us so we will speak about Him to those He sends us to.

    How many of you remember the sermon from last weekend? Me either. Howard Hendricks used to say we have the potential of remembering 10% of what we hear, and that’s just the potential. Another pastor believes we forget 95% of a sermon after 72 hours. For us to remember, we need to hear things ...read more
