    Keeping In Step With Christ

    Contributed by Stephen Becker on Oct 13, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,717 views

    What is the cost of discipleship? It’s free! Jesus calls us to follow Him and then gives us the tools we need to do so. We keep in step with Christ when we allow the Holy Spirit to put our lives into order...into Christian order, as believers.

    Keeping In Step With God Readings: Galatians 5:1,13-25 Luke 9:57-62 Stephen Becker, M.Div. St. Peter’s Lutheran Church Fifth Sunday After Pentecost, July 1, 2007 Have you completely committed your life to Jesus? I mean, completely?

    Fate, Failure And Fig Trees (And Why Bad Things Happen To Good People)

    Contributed by David Smith on Oct 17, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,654 views

    It’s the age-old theological question - why do bad things happen to good people? Jesus, as ever, doesn’t give us the response we expect.

    They say that philosophy deals with two sorts of questions: * Questions to which everybody knows the answer (eg. Do I really exist?). * Questions to which nobody knows the answer (eg. Why do I exist?). Religious teachers tend to deal the same sorts of questions, perhaps particularly questions ...read more

    Want to make the congregation grow? Here is the solution to the problem. It is not talent, effort, or programs, it is a lack of consistency.

    CONSISTENCY IS HARD WORK TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:58 THEME: CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY FOR GROWTH Every morning I try to get up at 6:00am to go to the gym to work out.

    Called To Conquer Pt.3 (Taking The Land) Series

    Contributed by Mark Baker on Nov 3, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,953 views

    In this study let’s look at the ultimate goal of a conqueror. That is to take and inhabit the land that God has called us into. What would be accomplished if we could take the land, but not inhabit and maintain what we have been given?

    In this third study I would like to again start with the words of the Apostle Paul, and define what a conqueror is. Romans 8:37-39. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor ...read more

    Revelation Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 21, 2008
     | 5,115 views

    Just how much does Jesus know about you and what does he do with that information? A woman and some Pharisees find out but his response is very different between those who need forgiveness and those who want it.

    In the movie "Conspiracy Theory" Mel Gibson believes that the government knows all kinds of things about him and are tracking his every move so that he doesn’t uncover some super secret plot they are trying to cover up. For most of the movie you believe that Gibson is just plan wacky but then all ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,737 views

    Nothing proves our faith like suffering for it. Jesus calls us to follow him and face suffering in ways that are purely kingdom ways. Can we do it?

    Does our Christian ethic or moral position change with situation and circumstance? Not long ago James Dobson stated that he could not vote for any candidate for office who endorsed abortion or homosexual relationships. There was a backlash against Dobson that came from many supporters that used ...read more

    Christ provides an exit from sin through his forgiveness and offers free entrance to worship.

    Two tragedies happened in less than a week. The first took place in Chicago, the second in Rhode Island. Awful accounts depicted how people became trapped in chaos and many eventually perished. That could have happened to anyone of us, couldn’t it? The truth is, that in many ways, we are trapped ...read more
