    based on 1 rating
     | 2,852 views

    The gifts of the Spirit are given for the common good not for our personal advancement. Paul shows us how the body of Christ is quite a literal expression.

    THE ART OF BODY BUILDING Jesus is not here…in the flesh. His body is not here but his Spirit is here. We read in John 16 that Jesus had to go away; he had to return to his Father in heaven, so that his Spirit could come, so that his very person, the essence of his being could be with every ...read more

    There are no "Lone Ranger" Christians. We are accountable to each other, so uncover small problems within the church before they become big problems.

    Have you ever had the check engine light stay lit in your car? What do you do? I knew someone who found that pesky little light annoying, and the engine sounded fine to him; So he took a piece of black tape and covered it up. In essence, he denied that there was any problem.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,910 views

    This is the 37th sermon in a series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we examine the crowds that shouted Hosanna during the Triumphal Entry, but then later demanded that Jesus be crucified, and we discuss what led to this, and how true faith differs from this.
