    The Cleansing Shower Series

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Mar 14, 2013
     | 8,322 views

    After David's confession of his sin, he asks God to purify and renew him.

    The cross is such an ironic symbol. In context, 2000 years ago, a cross was a horrible instrument of torture and death, it was feared and reviled, it was a punishment so dehumanizing that it was to be a major deterrent to crime, and those sentenced to death on a cross were humiliated and debased. ...read more

    A Life of Discipline: Lent week 3 March 7, 2010 Intro: The season of Lent can sometimes feel like the opposite of the season of Advent, don’t you think?

    Without One Plea Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 13, 2008
     | 6,149 views

    Like Paul, we cannot plead that we are either too broken or too privileged to engage in service. Brokenness is what God can use for the Kingdom.

    No excuses. No excuses. We are accountable for what we do. We are accountable to God. And what God has called us to do, we can do. No excuses. If God has chosen us, then He has expectations. There are Kingdom tasks to be performed, there is a witness to be made, there is something that each of us ...read more

    The Narrow Door

    Contributed by Michael Adams on Mar 16, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,045 views

    "Someone" (vs 23) asks a general question but God desires personal questons... Thoughts on our walk toward the Narrow Door. Can be a very fun sermon. A call for people to have a deeper walk with God. Concluding sugestions at the end of sermon.

    In some of our previous messages I shared from: 1) Luke 13:31-35 where Jesus weeps for Jerusalem. The Pharisees have a pretense of caring for Jesus by warning Him of Herod's plans to kill Him, all while they themselves desire to do just that. We also talked about the animal imagery used in the ...read more

    The cross is God's love in action. Because of the cross, we can "know and rely on the love of God."

    CROSS PURPOSES 1: EMBODYING GOD’S LOVE Of all the religions of the world, the one with the strangest symbol of faith is one you are probably familiar with. The primary symbol of that religion can be troubling, scandalous, even abhorrent. In fact, in parts of the world, it is divisive and ...read more

     | 5,786 views

    Work for the Church does not please Jesus unless we maintain our original motivation

    Letter to the Church in Ephesus Introduction: I rarely dip into the Book of Revelation to preach because it is so difficult to understand and needs a lot of background to get a full picture of what John is saying. But today I sensed the Lord telling me that I should change my strategy and take ...read more

    Excellent Role Models (Youth Or Father’s Day)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 16, 2022
     | 3,733 views

    One thing we see lacking around the world today, is role models.

    For example, we call football, baseball, basketball, and hockey players, sportsmen, but the only problem is that many of these fellows do not know the first thing about sportsmanship. We are constantly hearing about the terrible role models they are to the youth of the world. The decent people ...read more
