    The world is full of competing messages, some in harmony some in disharmony. A good example is commercials on television. Last week advertisers shelled out on average $2.1 million dollars for a 30 second spot. In 55 ads we saw Tobacco giant Philip Morris advertised against teen smoking, ...read more

    Worship That Works

     | 13,156 views

    Second Sunday after Pentecost: What is worship that is real and authentic? We look at Jesus’ teachings about this to learn how to honor God in worship.

    The Bible describes perfect worship. It occurs around the throne of God. That is a place where there is no pain, or sadness; A place where no sun or moon are needed because God is there to provide light and warmth; A place where the chaos and all that disturbs is replaced by the perfect peace. It ...read more

    How can we "sell" Christianity in today’s world?

    The second part of today’s Gospel reading told us about Jesus calling Andrew, Simon Peter, James and John to be his disciples. This was probably not the first encounter with Jesus for any of them. We know, for example, from last week’s reading from St John’s Gospel that Andrew was already a ...read more

    We are not called by Christ to talk about fishing for people or wait until we have the proper equipment or bait. We are called to fish.

    Matthew 4: 12 – 23 / What Do I Use For Bait? Intro: Some people just love to fish! --- No offense intended to those who love it; but, I HATE IT! It’s not that I haven’t tried it. I have.

    We can learn a lot from the qualities needed to be a good fisherman, to enable us to be good fishers for men.

    I will make you Fishers of Men – but we don’t start with the Barracudas Story: I occasionally take Bari (my Bernese Mountain Dog) down to the gravel pits for a walk. It’s a bit muddy at this time of year and there is quite a bit of flooding down there too I took Bari down a number of weeks ago ...read more

    This sermon looks at how following Jesus is a life long committment of listening to Jesus and reflecting HIS light.

    Imagine being like those fishermen.

    Why would C.S. Lewis use a "white witch" to depict the evil of Satan? And what can we learn from Satan’s attempt to deceive Jesus in the desert?

    Handling Temptation Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 16, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,036 views

    One of the most difficult things for a Christian is to resist temptation. Satan brings temptations to us and tries to make it easy and logical for us to fulfill legitimate needs. Jesus shows us just how crafty he is, and how to resist.

    We love the great times, don’t we? The times when we feel God’s Spirit flowing through us and when others recognize the Lord in us and rejoice. Wouldn’t it be great if every day was like the baptism of Jesus—with the Spirit of God descending like a dove on us and God telling us He is pleased with ...read more

    The Red Bits, what follows Jesus said are the most powerful life altering words you ever hear. you can also listen at www.preaching.co.nr

    I want to encourage us as a Church to spend time in the “red bits of the Bible.” The “red bits” are generally preceded by the grammatical necessity “Jesus said.” What follows “Jesus said” are the most powerful words ever spoken in human history and if received by faith they can have life changing ...read more
