    Discover why and how Jesus is uniquely able to be the King Who ushers in peace. (A Palm Sunday message.)

    A few weeks ago, when we looked at the reasons why we believe the Bible is the Word of God, we saw that one reason is the prophecies recorded in the Old Testament were actually fulfilled and historically accurate. This morning, we will be looking at one of the 300 prophecies from the Old Testament ...read more

    We ask people how they are doing, but do we really care? This message is to inspire people to reach others.

    Tell a story of when you did help someone in need. [Romans 12:9-11] Don’t just pretend that you love others. Really love them. (What do people answer when asked, “How are you doing?” When we ask the question do we really care?) Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of the good. {10} Love each ...read more

    Halloween: Harmless fun, or serious, sinister business?

    What’s Wrong with Halloween? BY DR. RUSSELL K. TARDO Halloween has become an issue among Christians. Long considered harmless fun, many are now questioning its history, nature, influence and fruit. The revitalization of Satanism and Witchcraft and their obvious association with Halloween has caused ...read more

    Jesus Needs A Break! Mark 7:24-37

    based on 18 ratings
     | 26,162 views

    Depictions of Christ suffering on the cross are common in Christian literature and iconography. Few though are the depictions of Jesus walking around exhausted, during his earthly ministry. Yet the tiredness of Jesus is seen commonly in the Gospels, and

    Our Gospel reading this morning is from Mark chapter 7, where we come across a Jesus who is tired - tired, I think, to the point of exhaustion. This is not the sort of depiction of Jesus that is given much attention by the church. I’ve never seen a stained-glass window with an image of Jesus ...read more

    Father Dave’s sermon on Paul, the preacher of the Gospel of Jesus, communicating with a group of persons who have never heard of Jesus. How did he go about it? And what is wrong with the ’Jesus is the answer to all your problems’ approach?

    "Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols." (Acts 17:16) Ange and I have been to Athens, as I suspect many of you guys have also. We went for less pious reasons than St Paul. We went as the Australian contingent ...read more

    Are You Mma Read? Series

    In spiritual warfare there are no rules, no rounds, no countouts, no one to stop the fight. Whoever fights the hardest, the meanest, and lasts the longest will win. There is no draw. You either win the battle or lose the battle.

    This week I caught a glimpse of the MMA. Has anyone seen these matches? They are brutal. They take place in a cage where two opponents fight three to five rounds. Every round is 5 minutes in duration with one-minute rest period in-between rounds. Non-title matches must not exceed three rounds. ...read more

    God Delights In Bad Odds

    The more unlikely the situation (if we pray), the better God likes it. God likes to show His hand, but He won’t do it unless we step out and depend on Him to come through in order for us have success. God likes the “come-from-behind” position.

    GOD DELIGHTS IN BAD ODDS 1 Sam. 14:6-15,23 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BOUDREAUX DUMPING TRASH 1. Boudreaux pulled over on the side of the highway and was dumping his trash beside the road.

     | 629 views

    In those situations where we’re facing a sin, something we know is wrong, but it’s a desire within us, what do we do?

    I remember feeling many years ago that the power of sin was just too strong in my life. I would feel the pressure within to indulge in the sin. And it seemed inevitable. Theres just no way. I can’t stop sinning. It’s too big. It’s too much. But over time as I learned about God, and grew in my ...read more

    The Holy Spirit is not a luxury, but a necessity! Without Him we could not pray, could not understand truth, we'd have no comfort, we couldn't be purified from sin. By Him we're born again & He's our Guide!

    DON’T QUENCH THE FIRE OF THE SPIRIT 1 Thess. 5:19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Presence of God 1. It sounds like a made-up story, but it’s true. Some years ago a church in Carter County, Tennessee had an attorney draw up a deed for their property. He wrote the deed naming The Lord God Almighty as the ...read more
