  • Can‘t You Read The Sign!? Mark 3: 1-6

    Contributed by James Lee on Nov 21, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,283 views

    A number of times, the religionists had attacked Jesus, accusing Him of teaching a false religion. I guess they often wondered… “Hey Jesus! Can’t You read the sign!? We have rule against that kind of stuff!” In Mark chapter three we see yet another confrontation.

    While thinking about this message I was reminded of a song from my hippy days… And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply" So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do" So I took off my ...read more

     | 3,575 views

    Jesus confronted the traditions of men in order to point men to the direction of God.

    1. Mark 2.13-3.6 2. We cheer when we see Jesus confront the Pharisees and cast out the money changing Sadducees 3. We support his stand against men using their traditions to speak for God (Mark 7.6ff) 4. But wait, the religious leaders of Jesus' day aren't the only ones to fall into this trap. . . ...read more

  • On The Sabbath Series

    Contributed by Peter Baumgartle on Apr 5, 2022
     | 1,940 views

    Everybody is religious. Many make up their own rules - about worship, about money, about sex, about the environment, about politics. Jesus isn't the Messiah many want Him to be. The Pharisees plotted to kill him. People today reject Him and dismiss Him and ignore Him. Are you a Pharisee?

    ON THE SABBATH MATTHEW 12:1-2 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.” Question: ...read more

  • Sabbath Liberation

    The folly of hedging the Sabbath with man-made rules

    SABBATH LIBERATION. Our attitudes to the Sabbath can tell a lot about our Christianity. In Luke 13:10-17, the president of the synagogue obviously felt it was more important to keep the Sabbath, even in the minutiae of man-made rules, than to look after his parishioners: "There are six days ...read more

    The sermon gets to the root of why man-made do’s and don’ts are inferior to actually knowing Chirst.

  • Thank God.

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 11, 2013
     | 7,542 views

    The Bible isn’t a list of rules. The Bible is a relationship waiting to happen. You need Jesus. And Jesus isn’t going to leave you because you mess up

    The Bible tells us how to live. Not necessarily as a list of rules, but, more like guidelines. Sometimes we confuse the Bible with a list of rules and then we really worry about whether we’re keeping them all or not. I know I used to live that way. The problem with trying really, really, ...read more

  • Sin Is A Heart Problem! Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 3, 2014
     | 7,481 views

    How God tells you to live is infinitely more important than how others think you should live! This is what Pharisees couldn't grasp. The challenge for us also is: Do not get a big head about it and become arrogant and/or unteachable.

    Sin … It’s a Heart Problem! Mark 7:8-23, 1 John 1:8-10 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for ...read more

    based on 59 ratings
     | 27,577 views

    Not every path will take you where you need to go. But how do you know what the "right" path is when there are so many choices?

    OPEN: In the classic children’s book “Alice in Wonderland,” Alice comes to a junction in the road that leads off in different directions and seeing the Cheshire Cat she asks him for advice: “Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want ...read more

  • A Time To Dance

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 17, 2015
     | 7,088 views

    Is it okay for Christians to dance? Are rules against dancing just silly man-made rules or are they right? If dancing is okay, what kind of dancing would be right?

    the Christian Church has a long history of making up rules that are not in the Bible. Is this right? Is dancing biblical or forbidden? What is the answer? Jesus criticized the Pharisees for making up religious rules that are not in the Bible. One example of this among Christians is the topic of ...read more

  • Community-Distinctive Church

    Contributed by Jim Caswell on Feb 6, 2017
     | 1,854 views

    We are not to be distinctive by our man made rules and traditions. We as the church are to be distinctive by the way we love.

     | 2,820 views

    Proverbs 18: 22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing’ and receives favor from the Lord. Paul taught that husbands and wives were to specialize; to actually specialize in one specific world for a specific way of live but I doubt if that exist nowadays.

    How dating prepares more for divorce than for marriage.

  • Coulda Hada Pear: Rules, Rules, Rules Series

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on May 4, 2020
     | 2,707 views

    Rules, Guidelines, Boundaries… they all help convey limitations… something of a “you can go to this point (here) , but not that far (there)” premise. When God plunked Man into the Garden, there is only one rule…

    Common thought today; ° Rules are meant to be broken ° Boundaries are meant to be challenged ° Guidelines are merely suggestions, recommendations, and preferred expectations Almost no one likes rules. Almost no one wants to be ‘governed’, controlled, directed, and worse… ...read more

  • We Are Born To Rule Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,979 views

    Here in Psa. 8:6 it says clearly, "You made him the ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet." Man is made the ruler of nature, and he is made king of creation by the Creator Himself.

    David did not need a telescope to consider the heavens and the wonders of God's creation. What he could see with the naked eye left him in awe at the majesty of God. Today we go far beyond the vision of David, not only into the macrocosm of the vast universe, but because of new instruments ...read more

  • Working Hours Series

     | 1,013 views

    Jesus emphasised the life on earth is a blessing. It’s a time bound. So, make use of it going beyond the boundaries of man made rules and regulations which are mere ideas not life changing.
