    based on 1 rating
     | 4,134 views

    Paul is a man who is shaken out of his religious ideas…ultimately centered in his own ego and understanding… and awakened to the reality of what the true and living God is doing.

    Today we begin a new series… we begin a journey into the extraordinary life which God seeks to awaken in us. Over the centuries many have written of profound spiritual experiences… and often there can be something to learn from them. But none has been as profound or proved as substantial ...read more

    Why Are We Here? Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 4,988 views

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

    What does it mean to work out our salvation with "fear and trembling"? In Philippians 2:12-17 we find 3 ideas that help unravel this important command.

    WE FIND 3 IDEAS IN PHILIPPIANS 2:12-17 THAT HELP US WORK OUT WHAT GOD HAS WORKED IN. 1. WE HAVE A PRINCIPLE TO PRACTICE - PHIL.2:12-13 2. WE HAVE A PURITY TO PROTECT - PHIL.2:14-16 3. WE HAVE A PROMISE TO REJOICE OVER - PHIL.2:17 ...read more

    Why The Storm Doesn't Go Away

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 15, 2005
    based on 56 ratings
     | 5,134 views

    This message explores the words and ideas that show up multiple times in this passage and give us indication of the different ways we can react to the storms of life that we face.

    - Last week, in previous passage, there was a literal storm; in this passage, the man is dealing with a “storm” caused by a huge problem in his life: demon-possession. - Sometimes we find that the storm stays for longer than we thought it would. There are a lot of reasons this can happen - this ...read more

    Big Idea: Jesus Offers—and Delivers Freedom From the Oppressive Weight of Satan. Looking at the day that Jesus’ touch was remembered more than the words of His sermon

    Inalienable Rights Series

    Contributed by Eric Hanson on Aug 14, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,882 views

    The idea of Inalienable rights is rooted in Genesis and the fact that human beings are created in the image of God. Neither Secular Humanism or Islam recognize this. This message looks at this in an instructional way.

    INALIENABLE RIGHTS Pastor Eric J. Hanson November 26th 2006 A message like this one can stand alone, but I strongly suggest that each one listening to Inalienable Rights also get a CD or tape of my message from two weeks prior to this one. Clash of Civilizations bring out some stark facts about ...read more

    Jesus Who?

    Contributed by Robert Bravo on Jan 14, 2007
     | 2,413 views

    There are many ideas about who Jesus was and Who Jesus is. But who is He realy? And what does that mean to those who believe and those who dont believe

    Jesus who? Matthew 16:13-20 (NIV) 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" 14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." 15 "But what about you?" he ...read more

    Love And Dogma

    Contributed by William Mouser on Aug 2, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 2,535 views

    The Bible, particularly Jesus, puts together two ideas which the world would always keep seperate: love and dogma. This sermon argues they must always go together.

    Psalm 33, Isaiah 45:11 – 19, 1 John 4:7-21, John 15:9-17 The Bible puts two things together that modern man would never in a million years put together. We see them both in the gospel and the epistle appointed for today. On one hand there is something in both the gospel and the epistle which ...read more

    We all have our idea of what Church should be like. This sermon looks at an Old Testament example of what should be found in a modern day church service.

    The Ideal Church Service Nehemiah 8:1-6 I have been in church most all of my life; in almost 32 years I have attended several thousand “church services”. I have been to Morning and evening worship, Wednesday prayer and bible studies, Singings, Homecomings, Revivals, Bible conferences, ...read more

    Does God Exist? Series

     | 10,822 views

    Is the idea of God just a figment of our imagination? Is there really a divine being in the sky that has created the world? If so, how do we know He is interested in humanity?

    Introduction: One of the biggest questions that people all over the world struggle with is God’s existence. Is God real? If God exists then why doesn’t He give us more evidence? Why doesn’t He just show Himself once and for all to everyone and be done with it? If God does ...read more

    Inadequacy Encountering Sufficiency Series

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Jan 31, 2016
     | 5,023 views

    There is an idea in our culture that recognizing our inability or insufficiency is somehow contrary to the principles of success. Self-confidence and high-powered, aggressive personalities seem to be what takes the day.

    A Tour Through Acts ~ part 2 Inadequacy Encountering Sufficiency Acts 2:1-4, 14 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be ...read more

    The Surprising Path To A Life Of Impact In The Age Of Facebook And Twitter Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 27, 2013
     | 7,754 views

    This message focuses on the need to impact lives with small acts of love. Doing that is compared to the idea of living a life of impact because someone has 1,500 Facebook friends.

    LIVES THAT HAVE IMPACT: Today many define impact in terms of Facebook friends, Twitter followers, and YouTube hits. - There is a presumption within many in our society today that having 1,500 friends on Facebook, a million followers on Twitter, or a YouTube video with 100,000 hits is evidence of a ...read more

    After the northern kingdom of Israel was conquered and taken into exile, the Assyrians brought in foreign people to replace the Samarians. These people mingled with the remaining Israelites and introduced new religious ideas.

    1. It is not healthy to test God Mat 4:7, Luke 4:12 Mat 4:7 Jesus said to him, "It is written again, 'You shall not tempt the LORD yourGod.
