No Resolutions Just Commitments

Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 7, 2009

Jesus calls us to make cross-carrying commitments. These are not resolutions that can be broken and forgotten in a matter of days. When a person picks up a cross, it’s a one-way trip. No one expects to come back.

I HATE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS For nearly a decade, I said, “Next January, I will start eating right and exercising.” You can tell what happened with my resolutions. NOTHING. I did not start eating healthy foods. I did not start exercising, but that all changed last January 14th. I had a ...read more

The Walk!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Oct 3, 2008

I believe that God calls all of His people to walk with Him. In this outline we lay out seven kinds of personal walk we have with Christ. If our desire is to be more like Him then we must walk and learn of Him daily. Not just in the Sunday morning service

The Walk (Luke 9:23 KJV) And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. (Luke 9:62 KJV) And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. I believe that ...read more

Contributed by David Smith on Nov 2, 2007

Transfiguration: we struggle. We are weary. There is much we do not understand. And yet every now and then we catch a glimpse of the strange and glorious nature of Jesus, an...

Yes, it’s the story of the transfiguration - my least favourite Gospel story. When I realised the transfiguration was scheduled for this week, I tried to get out of it. I thought about other people I could ask to preach ... but I couldn’t come up with anybody. Then I remembered that the ...read more

The Christian Eula Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 15, 2006

Ever wonder what you are signing up for with Jesus Christ? Luke 9 gives us some practical examples of the principals in the Christian discipleship.

If you have ever installed a piece of computer software, you have encountered a EULA. It’s that huge mass of legal garbly-gook full of ...read more
