    Temptation

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Aug 7, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,430 views

    Many battles are won in our minds! Temptations are first overcome in our minds because that is where the battle is and that is where the victory also is. Hiding God’s Word in our hearts is a great weapon to fight temptations.

    Matthew 4:1-17 ILLUSTRATION: My wife is a consummate shopper and she once saw this cart with variety of rugs being sold near our home. When she asked how much it was, the guy said, Rs. 17,000/-. She managed to bargain and bring the price down and she got the rug. Later another day, the same ...read more

    Handling Temptation Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 16, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,985 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

    Following his baptism Jesus is led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit and is tempted by Satan. His temptation helps him to focus on who he is and what he has been called to do.

    Matthew 4:1-17 “Focused” INTRODUCTION It is interesting to see how Hollywood has interpreted the temptation of Jesus. The truth is that we don’t know exactly what happened. No one was present with Jesus, in the wilderness, to record what actually took place. There were no ...read more

    Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It…

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 1, 2015
     | 9,634 views

    Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to proclaim the good news of the kingdom to our world today. That does not mean that we have to seek an active role in ministry. We are all given gifts from God to use in our mission.

    Today, we are celebrating two special occasions in the life of our Diocese-Mission Sunday, and Anglican Church Women Sunday. Rev. Judy is celebrating Missions Sunday with another church in our Diocese this morning, as she has been asked to explain to that congregation what her role as a ...read more

    Dispelling The Darkness

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 23, 2015
     | 5,450 views

    What we’re trying to do is push back the darkness.

    So, Matthew says that, “when Jesus heard that John [the Baptist] had been arrested, he withdrew….” What does that tell us? It tells us – doesn’t it? – that there is a force of darkness at work in this world. And we know what that means, of course. It means there ...read more

    "Call to Adventure" Matthew 4:17-22 I was speaking with an elderly man not too long ago. He had lived a good life. He had raised a family, had a good job, and was a good person.

    “For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.” (1Cor 1:17)

    Theme: Apostles sent to preach the Good news Text: Is. 9:1-4; 1 Cor. 1:10-18; Matt. 4:12-23 The meaning of the word apostle is one who is sent - a messenger or an ambassador.

    Identifying three callings of Jesus on a person's life.

    Jesus sheds light on our sin but also highlights God's love for us.

    I’ve been obsessed with light lately. First there was the track light in the kitchen that kept burning out until Rob discovered that I probably hadn’t screwed the bulbs in correctly. And then there were the blinking lights on the router and modem for my computer. Blink. Blink. Blink, ...read more

    The apostle Paul tells us that we have to work together and be united in their faith in Christ. When we work together to fish for people, we can do great things.

    Good morning boys and girls! How many of your have ever gone fishing? What do you have to take with you when you go fishing? Suppose you forgot to take one of these things with you? Would you be able to catch any fish? Everything you need to go fishing works together to help you catch fish. Jesus ...read more
