     | 4,819 views

    1. Ask God to reveal the errors in our thinking (vs. 15). 2. Follow our Godly examples (vs. 16-17). 3. Mourn over the enemies of the cross (vs. 17-19). 4. Remember our God-given end (vs. 20-21).

    based on 26 ratings

    This sermon depicts Hell as a very real place

    Luke 16:19-31 -- “There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:” “And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,” “And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: ...read more

    Uncommon Forgiveness

    based on 26 ratings
     | 9,274 views

    Solomon gives us a choice: We can walk in wisdom and exhibit an uncommon forgiveness when we are hurt or we can live as we know how to live by harboring resentment and bitterness.

    Uncommon Forgiveness Proverbs 17:9 In Proverbs 17 there are some shady characters who exhibit shady characteristics in the way they live their life. Some of these folks, who evidently were alive and well in Solomon’s day, are still with us. We read about them in Newsweek, People, and in our local ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 27,085 views

    This message speaks to the great reality of spiritual warfare that is involved in every work that God does. Elijah had to battle against the spirit of Jezebel.

    ELIJAH—A MAN OF LIKE PASSIONS 11 Jezebel—Understanding Her Dark Spirit TEXT: 1 Kings 19:1-8 1 Kings 19:1-8 KJV And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. [2] Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let ...read more

    More Is Expected Of Those Who Have More

    based on 54 ratings
     | 13,077 views

    This sermon will teach that the level of understanding of the will of God a person has determines not only their joy in serving HIM, but also the severity of their discipline from HIM.

    41. Then Peter said unto HIM, “Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?” 42. And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43. Blessed is that servant whom his ...read more

    The Sower Series

     | 11,281 views

    Which type of soil is your faith planted in? For many I am afraid that they are not planted in the good soil.

    “Parable of the Sower” Introduction It seems odd to me that all Christians respond differently to God’s Word. It is weird to me that we can all come to church and hear the same sermon and even sit in the same pew, but some take something away from it and others don’t. We all respond differently ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 21,554 views

    "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

    It seems like we’ve been covering most of my least favourite Bible passages of late, so perhaps I should have expected this one to come along - "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her”. Another winner! And what a good passage to have on the day of a baptism! ...read more

    Friend Of The Full Heart Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,858 views

    Christmas is a time for full hearts: weary, guilty, anxious, sad -- past, present, and future. Mary felt the same things, but Christ comes to forgive our past, empower our present, and assure our future.

    Christmas is an emotional time. All kinds of feelings are involved with the celebration of Christmas. If you don’t feel some tension, some excitement, or some pressure, something at this time of the year, you are either dead or you’ve been watching the Redskins, which is about the same thing. ...read more

    Venus De Milo: Beautiful But Not Perfect

     | 4,282 views

    We are not perfect, nor are we beyond redemption. Wake up to correct the inadequacies; strengthen what is worth keeping; and remember the grace of God.

    In the best of us there are deep flaws; but in the worst of us there is something worth redeeming. In the best of us there are deep, profound flaws. Every fine and saintly person I have known has been hard to get along with, had blinders on about some issue, or just hung on to some irritating ...read more

    With so much uncertainty and crises facing at the beginning of the New Year, we’ll examine some of the basics of following Jesus that help us get through turbulent times.

    Trudging Through Turbulent Times Matthew 24:1-8 January 4, 2009 Happy New Year everyone! To begin the New Year, I thought that we might address a relevant topic for our times right now, “Trudging Through Turbulent Times.” Times are so uncertain.
