    Contributed by Johann Neethling on Feb 20, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 4,155 views

    The heart of this message is how very easy it is for us to miss some of the really BIG issues of the Christian life because our focus and attention is elsewhere.

    DID YOU SEE THE GORILLA? Matthew 28:16-20 1. “Most people like to think of themselves as alert and aware. But under the right circumstances, even the most observant people can be blind to what’s going on around them.” • With those words CBS commenced a report entitled “What You See Depends on ...read more

    A sermon that wraps up a morning of personal testimonies - giving biblical references on how to testify and why we must testify.

    We all have a sphere of influence in our lives. That sphere is made up of those people in our lives that we have some influence over. And one of the strongest ways we can influence someone is through a personal testimony. That is when you tell someone else how something, or somebody, has ...read more

    The Grief Of The Father

    based on 54 ratings
     | 20,408 views

    This sermon relates the grief of David over the death of Absalom to God’s grief over our sin.

    Turn with me to 2 Samuel 18. Read 2 Samuel 18:24-33. Here we see a sad picture. King David is well advanced in years. He is no longer the young vibrant man that he once was. He is a broken man. The years had taken their toll on this once strong warrior. He had seen his family fall apart ...read more

     | 4,967 views

    The modern-day, Americanized church is a poor representation of the 1st Century church. We are confused about what we are.

    Don’t be Confused – (THE TERM) - #1 Matthew 16:13-19 * This morning I carry you on a brief journey on which, for the past couple of weeks, I have found myself. Quite honestly, this journey has been painful and helpful as well as hard and exciting. My first disclaimer is that my desire is not to ...read more

    When God originates, He orchestrates. God will grant us the strength we need to finish His work. Expect challenges when doing God's will. Choose to look at problems with eyes of faith, not fear.

    Nehemiah 2:11-20 Overcoming All Odds ES 30Jan11 2072 What God originates, He orchestrates. • It started off with a burden, and a desire to do something. Nehemiah shared this with God. • God puts the pieces in place (so to speak) and Nehemiah got what he needed. The will of God never ...read more

     | 11,296 views

    Catastrophes happen. As Christians, we need to be careful when assessing the cause of tragedy. It is natural to ask, “Who or what is to blame when tragedy or disaster strikes?” Let us examine this issue.

    Whose Fault Is It? Luke 13:1-5; John 9:1-3 When catastrophes or tragedies strike quite often we become like the disciples in John 9 when they met a man blind from birth. Their immediate reaction was that it was the judgment of God upon either this man or his parents. When the devastating ...read more

    The Forgotten Work Of Discipleship Part I Series

    Contributed by Terry Frazier on Mar 1, 2014
     | 6,923 views

    The Church needs to refocus on discipling new believers and we aren't doing that very well. Mature Christians need to spend more time and energy on growing new believers so that they can go out and become disciple makers. That's the point of Christianity.

    The Forgotten Work Of Discipleship Part I What do you suppose is the main goal of being a Christian? Is it the forgiveness of sin? Is it to become a better person? Is it to do good things for other people? What about being a better husband or a better wife? What about being a better Mom or Dad? ...read more
