     | 1,640 views

    A challenging sermon asking all of the congregation to consider their personal and corporate response to Jesus. Have you repented and believed? Have you been baptised? What about the Church?

Whether you realise it or not, and whether you believe or not, you are all here for a reason this morning! It’s just possible that some of you may be thinking, “What am I doing? ...read more

    Contributed by Mark Roper on Nov 26, 2007

     | 5,628 views

    Worship is not what is taking place around you: It’s what is taking place within you. Worship is not a time and a place you attend, it’s how we live our life all the time. Worship is a living testimony, of God in your life.

    What it means to Worship Romans 12:1-2 I want to introduce you to a mythical church member that I am going to call Kenny. When we first meet Kenny he is attending services at First Church but he left because the services were too formal, every one on the platform wore a tie. He and his ...read more

    God has given to all believers the Great Commission – to preach the good news and make disciples. Here are 5 keys Jesus gives to effective evangelism.

    MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE INTRO TO TOPIC: When I mention the word “evangelism”, what do you think of? • Someone standing on the street corner shouting out, “Turn or burn!” • The fear associated with going from house to house knocking on people’s doors? 2008 = a year of new beginnings, and a year of ...read more

    God teaches us that his way of winning hearts through his Word is the only way.

    $20,000. That’s how much our congregation spent last year (not including pastor’s salary) on outreach both here and through our synod. What did that $20,000 accomplish? Well we didn’t grow as a congregation, and our synod’s membership actually declined. Was that $20,000 wasted? Is sharing God’s ...read more

     | 6,259 views

    In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus describes two very different men, who took two very different approaches to connecting with God, which resulted in two very different outcomes.

    Today we begin a new series on rejecting religion for something real. The “something real” is the way of Christ (Christianity), which is not a religion, but a relationship with the living God. Too many non-believers wrongly think of Christianity as “just another religion,” and, sadly, many of ...read more
