    Listen And Obey

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 8, 2015
     | 5,045 views

    We become different people when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. We celebrate and share with humanity’s children. We have been set free and we enjoy the special favour of God. God’s Word shines a light into our darkness and continues to set us free.

    There is a common thread in the readings we heard from Nehemiah 8:1-10 and Luke 4:14-21 this morning, and it is freedom from slavery. In the case of the reading from Nehemiah, the story takes place after the Israelites have returned from captivity in Babylon. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus mentions ...read more

    Listening To Jesus

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Jan 28, 2016
     | 5,596 views

    The hometown Nazarene synagogue community could not hear Jesus over the noise of their own presuppositions. They watched him grow up. What do we hear when we listen to Jesus? In this text we hear his love, truth, and authority.

    Listening To Jesus Luke 4:21-30 Introduction Proverbs 1:5 (NASB) A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.. “There's a lot of difference between listening and hearing.” ― G.K. Chesterton We should always be a ...read more

    Jesus teaches us about the "narrow door" of salvation. We are warned to avoid the "broad" way that leads to destruction.

    God often gives us direction through Prophets. Why don’t we listen to him? We don’t like being told we are on the wrong path or going the wrong way. The answer as actually rooted in our psyche.

    We live in a world where we have more ‘speak-ers’ than ‘listen-ers’. Everyone wants to be heard. Give opinions. Suggest an idea. Give counsel. Make recommendations. But no one wants to listen.

    God often speaks to us in a still small voice, especially in our most vulnerable moments. We need to learn to quiet our minds and hearts to hear Him.

    Today, we're diving into the story of Elijah, a dude who knew a thing or two about tough times. So, picture this: Elijah, fresh off a major win against the prophets of Baal, is now hiding in a cave. He's scared, feeling alone, and probably wondering what's next. God shows up and asks him, 'What are ...read more

When he got to Jerusalem, he told James the brother of Jesus and all the church leaders what happened in his ministry where the gentiles turned to God. The Jerusalem ...read more
