    Living Amongst Trouble

     | 6,909 views

    Jesus reminds us that one of the guaranteed things about being a Christian is that we will encounter troubles. This sermon helps us view troubles from God’s perspective and that we should not be afraid of it.

    When you sense difficulties how do you react? When you sense problems what is your response? Recently I saw some hilarious videos of how people respond when they are in trouble In one video a man was carrying a box of photocopier paper when some jumped out from the behind corner and scared him….he ...read more

    What's Going On Around Here?

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on May 1, 2013
     | 7,032 views

    In the so-called mainline churches, many members cling to the adage, "We've never done it that way before!" As the religious people in Jesus' time discovered, hanging on to the old will blind us to the new thing that God is doing in our midst.

    Our lectionary passages this morning concern radical change, perhaps none more radical that Peter's vision in the 11th chapter of Acts. Most of us don't give much thought to what we eat and, if we do, our concern is more with calories than holiness. We don't consider food groups to be "clean" or ...read more

    A Secret Weapon For Getting People To Want Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 19, 2018
     | 3,566 views

    In this passage Paul speaks of throwing his "heart wide open" to the Corinthians. Could it be that the deep relationships that will come from doing that might be the church's secret weapon for attracting people to Jesus in a culture overwhelmed by loneliness?

    Grace From Galatians (18 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 1,549 views

    Remember that when we started the Book of Galatians we talked about how these false teachers attacked Paul. They stated: • He was not a true apostle • He was preaching a false gospel

    Before Paul brings this letter to a close, he wants to deal with this subject sternly. The strategy that some use when they want to destroy a message is to destroy the messenger. This is the kind of strategy they were using against the apostle Paul. This is done in politics all the time. When ...read more
