    Relying On God Series

    Contributed by James Jack on Jun 9, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 18,107 views

    In a culture which prizes self-sufficiency, we need to rely on God.

    Australian males prize self-sufficiency. It’s not masculine to ask anyone else for help. It’s not macho to admit that you can’t handle something on your own. I’m probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to having this sort of attitude. I hate anyone having to show me how to do anything, ...read more

    In a California neighborhood in 2009 one resident decorated his lawn with a depiction of Jesus shooting Santa Claus with a double-barrel shotgun. Fox News had reported that Jesus points the weapon at Santa’s dead body while Rudolph lays sprawled across the hood of a pick-up truck. The creator, Ron ...read more

    Jesus doesn't promise He'll deliver us from our stresses (Tribulation), He does, however, promise to use our suffering for good, and offers an eternal weight of glory in return for our sacrifice.

    And to the Angel of the Church in Smyrna, write: These things says the first and the last, who died and came to life I know your tribulation (stresses) and poverty, but abudance And the blasphemy of those who claim themselves to be Jews and are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan.

    To lay hold of our calling is to get an eternal perspective. Not to wait for heaven, but to press toward the prize.

    Are you in the fight as a contestant, or are you on the sidelines as an observer? The contestant pursues for the prize (Gold medal) whereas the observer just watches others receiving the prize but himself / herself doesn’t attain anything.

    Opening illustration: Show a video of 2 events during the 2012 World Olympic in London. Do you ever consider the Christian walk to be difficult, like it is always an uphill climb? Maybe you’re doing okay, but does there still seem a long way to go? Perhaps you have even become weary and ...read more

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Jun 4, 2014
     | 5,412 views

    The sermon teaches we are on a journey, pilgrimage, or sojourning so how do we survive? We survive by embracing our foreignness, seeking Gods protection, align with other citizens, have a good attitude, and remember we are here for a reason.

    “This World is not our Home” John 17:1-19 1. Jesus said the following about the Disciples He shares they are not citizens here 14I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 16They ...read more

    Citizens Of Heaven

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 28, 2015
     | 6,674 views

    As we imitate Paul’s behaviour, and as we learn from the faith and life of our Christian brothers and sisters, the result is a community of people who resemble Christ. Jesus showed us what it’s like to be fully human and to be right with God.

    We are not citizens of the world. Is that a surprise? Not if you’re a Christian. Paul says in Philippians 3:15-21 that we do not belong to the environment in which we live. We live elsewhere. Our citizenship is in heaven. We need to know which realm we are citizens of, because the answer ...read more
