     | 5,609 views

    Thank you Pastor Jerry Shirley for this outline If I was going to literally set the church on fire I wouldn’t announce it on the sign out front But I’m praying the we will be set ‘on fire for God!’

    Last week we started looking at setting the church on fire. We saw that the first characteristic of a church on fire is “Being Spirit Filled” Today I want to look at the last two characteristics. II. We are all Equal in position v. 24 all in one accord v. 32 all of one heart and one ...read more

    A Christian Veteran has three principles that he or she MUST stand by: to never give up, to be loyal, and to never lose focus.

    A sermon for Ash Wednesday - for a UK congregation

    Joel 2:1-2 & 12-17 John 8:1-11 I’m beginning, totally unsuitably for Lent, with an expression of pride. I’m very proud of my collection of the complete set of Carry On films - it’s the earthy British humour of the 1960s and 1970s at its best (or worst, depending upon your point ...read more

    Too Full Of Yourself? Or Weighed Down By Shame?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Feb 21, 2013
     | 4,095 views

    A short talk given at a baptism service. If we’re too full of ourselves then God desires humility. If we’re weighed down by sin, by shame, by guilt, and if we can pray, "God have mercy on me a sinner", God will restore us and lift us up.

    Jesus told lots of challenging stories; and in the Church we tend to calls his stories parables. But why did Jesus use stories, parables, to communicate truth to his 1st century audience? Well, he used parables to paint a picture with a punchy, poignant, pertinent point. His pithy parables packed a ...read more

    A sermonette (I will use this at rest home services) about a bloke who had it so right with God it really make things quite messy in his relationships with his fellow man. Hey I'm just pleased I'm not like him. ;)

    Jesus had a subtle and sometimes not so subtle way of getting through to people. I like how he delivers a message to a group of people who thought they had it bang on right with God, to a group of people who were confident that they had it right with God. Jesus tells them a story that actually cuts ...read more

     | 3,232 views

    Prayer the centerfold on every table of faith leads us to a far greater understanding than commonly known of our faith and convictions. We abide in the power, love and sound mind of Christ Jesus who revolutionized God's love in a radical movement of faith

    LORD, Teach Me To Pray by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (May 23, 2014) “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7, King James Version, KJV [A charge to Timothy]) “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: ...read more
