    Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 21, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 14,294 views

    Because we are secure, we can be satisfied with Christ, which should lead us to live a separated life, sanctified for His purposes so that we can saturate this world with His Word.

    The Joy-Filled Life John 17:6-19 Rev. Brian Bill 3/21/10 Some of you may know that I’m half Irish so St. Patrick’s Day has always been a pretty big deal for me. I grew up eating corned beef and cabbage on this special day and my Swedish wife Beth has humored me over the years by ...read more

    Delivered 1989, on the 25th anniversary of the reception of the church's first black member. We wait for full joy and unity, which come from embracing all people and from being the agents of redemption for all needs.

    Exactly twenty-five years ago, two things happened which were destined to have a profound effect on my life, and I want to share them with you this morning. These two unrelated happenings took place without the people involved in either one being aware of the other one, but, as I have said, both ...read more

    Contributed by Fred Sigle on Jun 7, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,441 views

    In many churches you will find unbalanced Christians: Those who are strong on holiness but weak on ministry. Those who are strong on ministry but weak on holiness. God wants those who are strong on holiness and ministry, the balanced Christian.

    CHRISTIANITY: A BALANCED LIFE (Based on the book by Mike Cope entitled: Living Between Two Worlds) A. John 17:9-19 (READ) COMMENT: As you listen to Jesus’ PRAYER you since a DILEMMA in our Lord.

    Jehovah M'kaddesh, God Who Sanctifies Series

    Contributed by Paul Basehore on Feb 5, 2015
     | 16,241 views

    God demands holiness, but He understands that we cannot be holy on our own. He promised us (and He always fulfills His promises!) that He is Jehovah M’Kaddesh, God who Sanctifies. Only through God can we be sanctified.

    Since we were all small children, we were taught that things fall. I drop a pen, it falls to the ground. In fact, everything in this world, at some point, falls down, right? In Tucurui, Brazil though, sometimes things fall up. I’m serious! Lumberjacks in the area cut trees, but don’t ...read more

    Make Jesus' passion your passion, his aims your aims, and pray for these things every day.

    THIS PAST TUESDAY, I took a day away from my desk, and Jan and I made a trip to Frisco, which is one of the places we like to go when we can. We ate at a favorite restaurant, relaxed and talked a bit, and then, as we almost always do, we went our separate ways – Jan to shop, and what I always ...read more

    The disciples didn't stand a chance. Neither do you. But there is hope...

    John 17:11-19 The Gospel for Underdogs 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and ...read more

    The Belt Of Truth Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 12, 2014
     | 6,200 views

    The Belt of Truth supports us in the daily battles of life, in a world where Truth is relative, where people make their own truth. God's word is truth that provides direction and ultimately victory.

    “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.” Are you properly equipped for battle? When I deployed to Iraq, an essential item of issued equipment was my web belt, which we call our “battle rattle.” It doesn’t seem important, yet on it ...read more

    The Why And How Of Church Unity

    Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on Nov 15, 2014
     | 5,069 views

    We must be very clear on the fact that Jesus was very passionate about the unity of the church that He had to take it to God in prayer.

    Sometimes ago, I did a write up on the subject "Crisis in Christ". It borders on the competition and irreconcilable difference among the supposed believers in Christ and the different denominations they belong to. There appears not to be an end to the war tearing the body of Christ apart. Today, ...read more

    Alien Ambassaor Series

    Contributed by John Sears on Dec 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 42,436 views

    Being in the world can feel like an alien experience. Do we hide under sheets and hope not be detected? Do we marshal our forces in order to "not be part of the world"? Or does Jesus mean more when he says, "Be in the world, but not of it."

    Introduction It was a favorite movie of mine when I was a kid. I can remember it being the first movie I cried during. The movie was E.T. If you have seen the movie (or even if you haven’t) there are some classic scenes that will be remembered. Elliot cutting his finger and E.T. ...read more

    Kept through the Name.

    THE PRAYER OF JESUS - Part 2. John 17:11-19. In the second part of His prayer, our Lord addresses the “Holy Father” (John 17:11). This epithet is unique, but understandable. Jesus is about to pray for the disciples’ sanctification (John 17:17). John 17:11. He prays that they will be “kept ...read more

    Becoming One

    Contributed by Michael Luke on Dec 3, 2015
     | 11,334 views

    Satan's key tactic is divide and conquer. The church should remain united – focused on the task ahead instead of the trivialities of disagreement.

    “Becoming One” John 17:16-23 OPEN In a Peanuts cartoon Lucy demanded that Linus change TV channels, threatening him with her fist if he didn't. Linus asks, “What makes you think you can walk right in here and take over?” Lucy replies, “These five fingers. ...read more

    You are going to make it because Jesus Himself is praying for you. Our text tells us that Jesus does pray for us in heaven. We will also examine other passages that tell us how Jesus has prayed for us, and how He is praying still.

    Someone Is Praying for You: Jesus Christ, Our Intercessor Text: John 17 & Hebrews 7:23-25 23 Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. 24 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Therefore He is also able to save to the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,903 views

    God has chose us; to reveal Jesus into our lives; as our Lord; who in turn reveals God the Father; to forward his divine purpose on, and then return us to him in heaven. Simple really.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 20th May 2012 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries).
