    We have seen where spiritual transformation will make us like Christ, even to other believers. But why should we place so much emphasis on believers getting along with each other?

    WHY SHOULD BELIEVERS GET ALONG? Romans 15:1-7 I. Discipleship Demands It (vs. 1-2) A. An Obligation 1. ‘Ought’ is the past tense of ‘owe’ in Old English. Both words have the spiritual pronunciation. 2. The HCSB renders this “we have an obligation”. 3. It is not something we ‘should’ do; it is ...read more

    Sermon #18 in Galatians series. What does it mean to be free in Christ. Spiritual maturity is measured not in how many freedoms you take, but in how many you limit or give up for the sake of others.

    08/05/2007 “Called to be Free” (Gal 5:13-15) INTRO What is freedom, really? Freedom is power. The idea of freedom includes the power to choose, to make your own decisions. We know a bit about freedom in this country. Say what you will about America, but it is still the freest country in the ...read more

     | 25,563 views

    This sermon seeks to encourage persons to get off the performance treadmill to experience growth in grace and Christian maturity through an intimate relationship with Christ.

    Most of us have been educated in the “school of performance.” In fact, Shakespeare once said, “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.” From the very beginning of our lives we’re taught that we must perform properly in order to get what we want. There’s a direct ...read more

    The Spirit-Filled Walk: What It Is And Isn't

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Jan 3, 2007
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,118 views

    This is a sermon on the Spirit-Filled walk from The Exchanged Life perspective that exhorts the believer in such a way that consistency will be your experience in the believer’s walk.

    I shared with you this morning about the Spirit-Filled life in that it’s an abundant and fruitful life. The last principle had to do with the process of being filled. However, I must hasten to add that trying to reduce life in the Spirit to a formula is like trying to capture the wind. It’s a ...read more

    need of God’s Spirit to overcome the weakness of the flesh.

    Intro: the more I read the Word of God, the more I realize how totally dependent we are on the Spirit of God to help us gain victory in our lives. Nowhere is this more clearly seen as it is explained in Galatians 5:16-26. Your physical, carnal man produces things, God’s Spirit in you produces ...read more

    This sermon, which is the first in a series on "Romans: The Good News of God," introduces the greatest letter ever written, Paul’s letter to the Romans.

    Scripture He was pacing back and forth, thoughtful and expectant. Physically, he was not an impressive man (see for example 2 Corinthians 10:10; Galatians 4:14).

     | 6,524 views

    Jesus is the "star" of Scripture and he is to be the star of our life. Is it he we are following or a star of our own making?

    “What’s in the stars for you?” Perhaps you remember seeing this huge front-page horoscope in the Edmonton Journal a few days ago. It may seem laughable to us that anyone would live his or her life by the “dictates of the stars” but the fact that the newspaper paid for the information and then gave ...read more

    What are we doing in Jesus’ name. This sermon addresses the difference between just having information in Jesus and having intimacy with Jesus.

    Sermon: Mark 9:38-50. In Jesus’ Name 38 "Teacher," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us." 39 "Do not stop him," Jesus said.
