    We Thirst, Jesus Quenches

    Contributed by Mike Cleveland on Apr 6, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,582 views

    Jesus talks with a Samaritan woman who is "drinking" of the water of relationships. 6 men can’t satisfy her. But the 7th Man, the God-Man Jesus Christ perfectly satisfies!

    Please open your Bibles to John chapter 4. We have a very interesting story here before us this morning, a story of Jesus speaking with a Samaritan woman at a well. This story is interesting because the Jews did not speak with Samaritans. Samaritans were called “half-breeds.” You see when Assyria ...read more

    God expects His people to produce good fruit, and He gives this example as a warning for His people to wake up.

    The superscription at the top of the page in my Bible says, "A parable of a vineyard." Parables use an obvious situation to bring out a far deeper truth. It has been said that "Parables are earthly stories with heavenly meanings." Let me give you something about the setting of Isaiah 5. When ...read more

    Fired Up, Or Fizzled Out?

     | 6,614 views

    Satan has no problem with a church that has smoke going up the chimney, as long as there’s no fire in the furnace. If the church isn’t careful, its ministry can become mere methods and mechanics, performed legalistically, without love for Christ.

    FIRED UP, OR FIZZLED OUT? Text: Rev.2: 4 Intro: In the first seven verses of Revelation chapter two, the resurrected Christ, via the Apostle John, writes a letter to the church of Ephesus. At the time this letter was penned, the church of Ephesus was a thriving body of believers. Times were ...read more

     | 2,548 views

    There's only two options open to us...the narrow way which leads to eternal life, or the wide way which leads to eternal death. Heaven or hell. Which will it be?

    Mat 7:13-14 Do you know what any good preacher does when he begins to wind down his sermon? He tries to pull together everything he has already said and guide his audience to his ultimate goal of bringing them to a decision. For the Christian preacher, the decision he is leading his audience ...read more

    Paul tells the believers about the church as a family and field.

    GROWING UP IN THE CHURCH (Part 1) 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 I. Paul Views the Church as a Family (vv. 1-4). A. Paul calls them “brothers” (v. 1). He goes on to say they are not “spiritual” because they are “worldly” and “infants.” 1. They need to be taught but they have already accepted Christ as ...read more

    Storing Up Treasure In Heaven

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 6, 2016
     | 4,930 views

    God wants us to take care of things that he has given us, but he also wants us to take care of other people, especially the poor. Sometimes that means we have to sell what we have and give the money to the poor.

    Good morning boys and girls! Do you have a favourite toy or piece of clothing? How do your treat it? Do you take care of it or are you rough with it? All of us have things that we have to take care of especially if we have received it as a gift. Do you know someone else who have given us things ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,156 views

    This sermon is the second installment on why we are obligated to give God all of the praise that we can. True praise comes from the inside out, not the outside in.

    Introduction: Whenever it comes to Jesus the Christ, it seems to be a gray area for many. It seems to be an area of discomfort, but when it comes to God there’s more of a relaxed atmosphere. Whenever there is a conversation about God, the atmosphere is somewhat pleasant or neutral, but when ...read more

    Lots of ideas about the rapture. What does Scripture explicitly teach? Introduction to a series of talks on this subject.

    INTRODUCTION God’s Garden is overrun with weeds. To get to the fruit can be a time-consuming work, but certainly it is worth the effort. What theoretically could be a wealth of comfort and joy for God’s people has become a morass of complication. But no wonder. Both Jesus and Paul ...read more

    There is no better exercise for the human heart than reaching down and lifting someone up. Jesus on the Cross is our best example. Let’s see why!

    Introduction Just how much do you know about the death of Jesus? Sad as it is and true nonetheless, we think of His sacrifice once during the calendar year. Easter. In some ways, we have, with most of the real story, hidden the truth from the general public simply because we are more concerned ...read more
