In this final sermon in the series we are going ee that we have been called to be His heart for the world! When someone is passionate about someone or something we say their heart is really in it. What was Jesus’ heart really into?

Called to be His Heart for the World I have a confession to make. The other night I snapped. My wife and I get a dozen or so “Sales calls” a day.

The Problem Of Religion Series

Contributed by Gary Stebbins on Apr 26, 2009

There are two sides to sin and evil. On the one side we can be very bad and break all the rules, on the other side we can be very good and keep all the rules. Both are trusting in ourselves and not God (thoughts from The Reason for God by Timothy Keller).

We see God's glory in science and nature.

HOW MAJESTIC IS YOUR NAME! A number of years ago I was a pastor of a mission church, and I was doing some canvassing – just going door-to-door, introducing myself, seeing if the Holy Spirit might open up a door to me as I walked around.

A Great Awakening Sermon V: Reshaking And Remaking Christians In The 21st Century Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Apr 29, 2020

In times of "doom and gloom", perhaps Christians need to be shook up to the extent that we refocus attention on being remade in the likeness of Jesus Christ so that we choose God's way of grace sufficient for every need.

RESHAKING AND REMAKING CHRISTIANS IN THE 21ST CENTURY It’s still fresh in my mind and most likely I have told it before but it’s always worth sharing: Granny Canup with her blue bonnet upon her head was our neighbor in Anderson, South Carolina. When I was nine ...read more

Encountering The Gospel Of Jesus Christ At The Most Unexpected Time And In The Most Unexpected Place. Series

Contributed by Mark Van Cuylenburg on May 11, 2020

We preach The Gospel Of Jesus and we live The Gospel Of Jesus, and because of who we are we can do both even when we don't realise it.

Last week I preached about the two men who encountered Jesus as a stranger on the road to Emmaus, and how we too can encounter Him in the most unexpected place and at the most unexpected time. It seems to me though that something else unexpected also happened that day. The two men, both disciples ...read more

We learned them as children, but did we learn from them? There is truth wrapped up in these tales!

I. Introduction We learned them as children. They are forever burned into our memory. However, just because we learned them doesn't mean we learned from them. Let's look at one of these fairytales we know so well and see if we can learn from it today. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty ...read more

Contributed by Coz Von on Jun 30, 2016

one of the last century’s greatest scientific minds argues that, perhaps, aliens in spaceships first brought life to Earth, and that explains how we all got here. mmmmm??

Kingdom Keys - Ezra Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on May 22, 2023

To fully restore our connection to God, we must become aware of our sins, admit them to another and act in a way which totally removes the sin and its tempters from our presence quickly. Any compromise robs us of a true connection to our God.

So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

Why Pray? Series

Contributed by Brad Stone on Jun 29, 2024

Many people question the purpose and effectiveness of prayer. Often, prayers not answer in the method we would prefer, or in the time frame we would like, are mistaken as unanswered prayers. In this message, I attempt to give a biblical response to the question, "Why Pray?".

Biblical Answers to Life’s Tough Questions: Why Pray? Phil 4:6-7 People have asked the question before, “What is the point in prayer?”. Their argument is that, if by praying we can change God’s mind, then He isn’t sovereign. If he doesn’t change His mind, then He is superfluous. Many people ...read more
