    You Are Not Your Own

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 20, 2017
     | 10,903 views

    Sexual sin is ubiquitous in contemporary society; it is often excused among the faithful. We need to live with a focus on the Cross if we will honour God with our bodies in the midst of a world that has surrendered to the appetites of the flesh.

    “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So, glorify God in your body.” [1] Accepting Christ as Saviour transforms life—attitudes and actions take on new significance. The adage ...read more

    Man Sees The Limitations, God The Opportunities

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Aug 22, 2025
     | 619 views

    We offer many excuses. We tend to limit what God can do. God says the night may be dark, but God can handle this problem. God can use unlikely sources.

    MAN SEES THE LIMITATIONS, GOD SEES THE OPPORTUNITIES.

    Hell And Being A Disciple Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 11, 2014
     | 4,163 views

    So what difference does it make? If Hell is real, what difference not only does it make in how you live your life today but what difference does it make in being a disciple of Jesus

    Hell and Being a Disciple Luke 16: 19-31 Dan Kimball writes, “I am passionate about hell. That sounds odd – but I am not passionate about hell itself, but passionate about studying what it is because of the seriousness of what it is. I am passionate about it as I don’t want ...read more

    Are You Ready For Persecution?

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Aug 12, 2012
     | 5,543 views

    Christians were persecuted by the Jews, then by the Romans, and by the Nazis and the Communists, and by fundamentalist Muslims and others today. Why should we in the West or US, Canada, Autsralia or New Zealand be excused from suffering for our faith?

    Gospel reading: Luke 21: 5-19 Sermon: Persecution May the words of my mouth ....... In the Gospels Jesus is recorded as saying some lovely things, that we are loved, that we are forgiven, that we are his friends, but in today's Gospel reading, his words are far from lovely. "They will lay hands ...read more

    Reluctant Recruits

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 1, 2018
     | 8,909 views

    Jesus did not present a rosy, unrealistic picture of the Christian life. In Luke 9 we encounter 3 potential recruits. Jesus appraises their resolve, exposes their excuses, and urges them to consider the cost of discipleship

    It’s Career Day at the high school and a small crowd is gathered at the Army’s booth. A Recruiter tells the students about field duty in the winter, eating MRE’s, family separations, grueling physical exercise, frequent moves, and the likelihood of war…and pretty soon he’s standing alone. The ...read more

    Mindset Of Mercy Series

    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,863 views

    We often limit our expectation of God by the excuses we give Him to bless us. But God wants us to expect more from Him than what we can perform or deserve.

    RAISING THE BANNER OF EXPECTATION MINDSET OF MERCY Psalms 23:6 Faith comes by hearing God’s word- Romans 10:17 · To understand · Matthew 13:29 Faith alive is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen – Hebrews 11:1 · This doesn’t mean that to prove we have faith, things ...read more

    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 4:8-11 - Message 14 - Do Not Become Wallowing Sows In Bondage – Protect Your Freedom In Christ Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 1, 2024
     | 684 views

    The Galatians had exchanged the bondage of idolatry for the bondage of the Law. False teachers promise freedom but chain their adherents in bonds. Our freedom in Christ must be protected. Do not use your freedom as an excuse to sin.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 4:8-11 - MESSAGE 14 - DO NOT BECOME WALLOWING SOWS IN BONDAGE – PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM IN CHRIST [PART A] Galatians 4:8 However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods, Galatians 4:9 but now that you have come ...read more

    The time we are given in this life is priceless. We cannot save it, but we can use it wisely and gain from it. This is why we should strive to make the most of our time, be diligent in using our talents, and fulfill our roles to the best of our abilities.

    What has made an impact on you lately? Your family? Your neighbors? Your town? Your world? How many would say the Church has impacted their lives? Some might answer with the affirmative.
