    A sermon on Jesus’ statement about setting the World on Fire

    I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already!(Luke 12:49 NJB) What a powerful and frightening statement!

     | 4,892 views

    False prophets are not just an Old Testament problem. We have them in full force today, in all denominations, telling us that God is “doing a new thing,” misinterpreting Isaiah 43:19 to justify sin.

    Other Scriptures used: Jeremiah 23:23-29 Psalm 82 Hebrews 12:1-14 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) False prophets are not just an ...read more

     | 3,932 views

    Being a follower of Jesus will bring us into conflict with those who are not his followers. However, being his follower means that we are called to help others to interpret his ministry so that they might become his follower too.

    On and off, for the past 19 years Moira and I have been delighted to be able to spend time at her parents’ time-share apartment in Spain. The weather is predictably hot and the sun shines brightly! However, I was careless in packing my case. I was disappointed to arrive in Spain and discover that I ...read more

    The cross of Christ not only brings peace, but also division. When faced with opposition and division, disciples of Christ stand firm while loving and respecting their opponents.

    Luke 12:49-56 “The Limits of Peace” INTRODUCTION The night sky was cloudless and filled with stars. Shepherds watched their flocks, while they huddled around a campfire.

    Whether we live to see the second coming of the Lord or are called home to Him at the end of our lives, we do not know the day or the hour of His return and we need to live in readiness, looking toward the appearing of the Lord.

    In Luke 12 Jesus asks His disciples if they think He came to bring peace on earth and then - without giving them a chance to respond - He makes; what to me seems like a shocking statement, “No, I tell you, but division.”

    What do we mean when we pray "deliver us from evil"?

    People have always been divided about Jesus. I have known folks who are so “sold-out” to Jesus they drive everybody else crazy.

    Fire Of God

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 22, 2012
     | 12,517 views

    If the fire of judgment is early kindled in us, we, as Christ, die to sin but live to God.

    Fire is full of symbolic meaning in Scripture. Fire is used as a sign of God’s presence and as a sign of judgment, both of acceptance and rejection. Fire is a sign of theophany, which is just a fancy way of saying a revelation of God, God’s presence. When God made His covenant with ...read more

    It is this simple, a person who does not accept the forgiveness of God by believing in Jesus Christ is still eternally doomed to be judged because all have disobeyed God.
