    Jesus wants to transform our lives so that we can experience the abundant life He offers us.

    We often get sucked into doing things the world says are cool, but they can lead us away from God and leave us feeling empty. But guess what? You have the power to say no and choose a different path. If you're stuck in a bad habit, it's time for a heart-to-heart with yourself. Say no to that habit ...read more

     | 1,066 views

    As followers of Christ, we are called to balance our earthly responsibilities with our heavenly ones, reflecting Jesus in our daily lives.

    You know how Jesus was a pretty cool teacher, right? People were always asking Him questions, but some of them had sneaky plans. They wanted to trap Him and get Him out of the picture. In our story today, some religious big shots tried to trap Jesus by asking about paying taxes. But Jesus, being ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,471 views

    Paul and his team authentically modeled the message, focusing on the praise of God, not men. We must do the same and be as gentle as a mother and as firm as a father with those we are hoping to influence.

    Marks of a Healthy Church After the sermon last week, someone came up to me and asked me a question: “If First Thessalonians is one of the shortest and easiest books to understand, why are you taking 14 weeks to preach through it?” I told him that he should be glad I’m not preaching through the ...read more

    The story of Pentecost tells us not only of how the church was born, but also how the church has continued to outreach and outdo herself because of the power, influence and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

    WHEN THE CHURCH WAS BORN Text: Acts 2:1-21 I read the story about a football player whose performance exceeded the expectation of others. "…. In the last two minutes of the game, with the score against his team, makes a touchdown. He runs faster than his legs can carry him, and farther than ...read more

     | 5,340 views

    The size of the personal storms in life are influenced by the size of one’s faith. Great faith makes large storms seem small, and small faith makes little storms larger.

    THE SIZE OF THE STORM THEME: THE SIZE OF THE STORM IS CONNECTED TO THE SIZE OF YOUR FAITH. Life has been a little stressful recently.

    Do we get caught up in the ’crowd mentality’ of today as people did on the day Christ rode into Jerusalem? How does society influence our thinking and our actions?

    The story of an honest man, Naboth, killed as a result of an abuse of power and perhaps, because of a king... Ahab ... telling half truths. It also warns of the potential of abuse of power/influence by Christians.

    This is one story of several that trace the confrontation between the prophet Elijah and king Ahab. Ahab is usually a pretty bad guy. These stories have there origins in chapter 17. There, Elijah seems to burst on the scene from out of nowhere, and curses a drought into existence in the presence ...read more

    Today the neglect of the Bible and of God in society is evident. The separation of Church and state was originally designed to protect both Church and state, but is now used to subjugate any influence of God in politics?

    WHO KICKED JESUS OUT OF POLITICS? Theocracy and Democracy. DEMOCRACY We get what we ask for, but for Australia it seems we don’t really know what that is. Australia voted and it seems no-one really likes any particular party. The common definition of democracy is “government of the ...read more
