    based on 154 ratings
     | 16,021 views

    We all live with the consequences of conflict – the hurt and pain. Jesus gives us some real advice on how to properly deal with sin and conflict – and has some surprises about a very well known section of Scripture.

    How much time do we spend in conflict? It started back with Cain & Abel. You remember the story – the two first brothers argued because God favored Abel’s sacrifice more than Cain’s. You know how the story ends – with the first murder – and it seems, brothers (and even brothers and sisters) have ...read more

    Set Us On Fire God!

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jul 25, 2012
    based on 27 ratings
     | 37,842 views

    If we are to live lives that are pleasing and acceptable to God; if we are to carry out the purpose to which He has called us we need to a spiritual passion and to rekindle the fire. We need the power of God’s Holy Spirit to fall on us and set on fire.

    “Set Us on Fire God!” I Thessalonians 5:19 Paul exhorted the Thessalonian Christians not to quench or extinguish the Holy Spirit. It’s easy for us to get sidetracked by the things of this world causing us to lose our passion for the things of God and allowing the flames of our ...read more

     | 5,891 views

    Jesus has reached the point of no return – the cross was going to be inevitable. However, despite the fact that it is Judas who is betraying Him Jesus still calls Judas “friend”. Such actions help us to know what to do when we are betrayed.

    This sermon is a first-person narrative from the perspective of the innkeeper. We have all too often made the innkeeper into a bad guy. What if he did everything for the family that he could do?

    Well, it would seem I was between a rock and a hard place. I was in a situation, where there were no easy answers.
