    The Lord Of The Sabbath Series

    Contributed by Josh Foster on Mar 3, 2014
     | 7,587 views

    Keeping the Sabbath is all about walking with Him; it’s about submitting to His lordship. So, whatever else it means to “keep Sabbath”, this we can be sure of: Jesus is the reason, Jesus is the focus, Jesus is what it’s all about.

    Sabbath: The Lord of the Sabbath Scripture Text: Luke 6.1-10 INTRODUCTION As a young man, there were several older gentlemen that I had high regard for - the life-witness, their faith, their devotion to God. But-as-a-young-person, …I always found some things about them that ...read more

    In our Christian walk we have many challenges. I see one of the most difficult tasks is learning how to deal with anger. Anger divides where Christ desires unity. We must daily work on dealing properly with our anger.

    Passages from the Bible Gateway NIV Version The Christian Walk 101 - Anger Ephesians 4:17-32 Introduction Ephesians 4:17-32 - 17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their ...read more

    The Atheist’s Psalm

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 10, 2014
     | 7,567 views

    In this psalm atheism is traced back to its source in the human soul. The psalm reveals that atheism is not a mental problem, but a moral problem. It is not that a person cannot believe in God, but that he won’t believe in God.

     | 13,073 views

    The motto, "Only one life, twill soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last", forms the three points of this sermon of the fact that we only have one life to live in which to prepare for eternity, and that live is brief and and serious.
