    A small church far away from Hurricane Katrina damage - what do we need to hear? It seems that Jesus would tell us to repent.

    Luke 13:1-5 - A Little Less Conversation, a Little More Action Some of this sermon may sound familiar to you, and there’s good reason for it. Much of what I’m about to say, I preached after September 11, 2001. I felt it was time to dust it off and say it again. A pastor friend of mine, Denn ...read more

    When bad things happen, people have unfisished business. Jesus turns to the religious and says that they do too.

    Unfinished business Last Sunday we were at a day of celebration of ministry and we had many things to celebrate. But our world circumstances gave us another agenda. We talked about what the real “acts of God” are in today’s world. The acts that the living body of Christ does to reach a world ...read more

    Sometimes in the church we throw around words and due to their constant use we forget what the meaning of the word actually is. One of the most misunderstood words we use is the word "repentance". What exactly does repentance mean and how important is r

    What Does it Mean to Repent of Sin? Introduction: The word repentance is not a popular word in today’s society. It is not popular because if we call people to repentance then we are admitting that people are doing something wrong. People don’t like to be told that they are wrong or have ...read more

    Repentance is much more than simply feeling sorry for our sin and is a necessity for salvation.

    Series: Demands of Christ EXCEPT YE REPENT Luke 13:1-5 In his book I Surrender, Patrick Morley writes that the church’s integrity problem is in the misconception "that we can add Christ to our lives, but not subtract sin. It is a change in belief without a change in behavior." He goes on to ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,559 views

    It’s the age-old theological question - why do bad things happen to good people? Jesus, as ever, doesn’t give us the response we expect.

    They say that philosophy deals with two sorts of questions: * Questions to which everybody knows the answer (eg. Do I really exist?). * Questions to which nobody knows the answer (eg. Why do I exist?). Religious teachers tend to deal the same sorts of questions, perhaps particularly questions ...read more

    Luke 13:1-9 Consider a few verses that speak of the call and gift of repentance: Isa 30:15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.
