"Are You In A Storm"

Contributed by Brad Henry on Sep 14, 2011

This sermon teaches how we can have joy in a storm and not fret. How we can not let our past failures in a storm dictate our future responses.

Fearless Campaign Week 1 Series

Contributed by Brian Harrell on Oct 2, 2009

Max Lucado’s Fearless Campaign. This is my sermon based on the outline that he gives. The main point is that its not about the storm, but who you discover in the storm.

Fearless #1 The first church I went to as a child had a bully in it. It was the preacher’s son. His name was Johnny and I remember he wore a leather jacket just like every bully wears. He had greasy black hair too. Johnny was an intimidator and generally tried to terrify the kids who were ...read more

Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - When Jesus Skips Out On Church, You Know Someth Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 3, 2010

It's interesting to me that Jesus called His disciples to leave the crowd and His disciples and they experience some spiritual warfare as they cross to the other side of the lake. Why would Jesus miss this opportunity, when He had a crowd gathered?

Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - WHEN JESUS SKIPS OUT ON CHURCH, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! I remember as a young student Pastor being invited to a Church for afternoon tea. They said they wanted to pray for me. What I didn't realise is that they wanted to pray for me to be their Pastor. At the end ...read more

Overcoming Fear

Contributed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Aug 2, 2012

The Bible, the gospel, Christ, the church, the faith—all are one great battle cry against fear in the lives of human beings.

Authority And The Fear Of God

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 24, 2010

Matthew 8 demonstrates Jesus’ authority in miracles and ministry. Jesus’ words and works show us the depth and extent of His authority. Our call is to walk under that suthority as we hear and heed his instruction.

Matthew 7 ends with the amazement of the crowds who heard Jesus teachings. They observed that Jesus spoke with authority and not as their teachers of the law or scribes. We noticed several passages last week about the fear of the Lord and its importance to our lives as Christians. Without the ...read more
