    Old Faithless Series

     | 4,040 views

    Eternal life is for those who live faithfully before God, believing in his promises and living by his standards, even when the pressures to conform to our culture are nearly overwhelming.

    Has it ever occurred to you that the Bible probably ought to be rated “R”? It’s definitely not G, and parental guidance is certainly needed. I don’t think it rates an X, even though there’s an awful lot of violence, especially in the OT, and even some sexually ...read more

    Do we rely on God in our service to Him? Or do we try to do things on our own? Here the psalmist gives us a template of how we must know and understand that we rely on God... that we will fail on our own, and we must go to God and ask Him to equip us and

    Give Thanks Series

    If we have our minds centred in Christ, focussed on the things that please God, then we won't need a rule book. If God's word dwells in us the way our lives are hidden with Christ then we'll do things that please God automatically.

    Paul has just finished telling the Colossians to stay away from those who want to tie them down to human rules and regulations. He says these rules are of no use to you in controlling your human desires. He says “Why would you want to subject yourself to human regulations when Christ has died ...read more

    Jesus prays for deliverance from 'this cup' but submits to the Father's will, and the disciples still struggle with understanding what is going on...

    39 He went out and made His way as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him. 40 When He reached the place, he told them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation” 41 Then He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and began to pray, 42 ...read more

    Do you remember the story about The Three Little Pigs? The first little pig built his house out of straw. The second little pig built his house out of sticks. And the third little pig worked hard and labored diligently as he built his house out of brick.

    The following sermon is going to review both of these blessings not so that they can become a “catchy, Christianese cliché” at the end of one of one’s prayer, but so that one might understand how important it is to ask and receive from God a blessing for His people!

    Having the roots of total submission and thanksgiving for His undying love as our Lord, Savior and King leads to sacrificial living that brings honor and glory to His name! O to have the faith as tiny as a mustard seed!

    Roots of Faith Luke 17 :5-10 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Since “religion is not a private pursuit, but is a shared family responsibility,” how difficult it is to rebuke and extend forgiveness to those who have “sinned against us” (17:1)!

    Bible - Why Bother? #2 Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 1, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,471 views

    The Scriptures are the inspired, authentic self-revelation of God and as such have primary and foundational authority in all matters of what we believe, what we value, and how we live.

    Last week we focused on the purpose of the Scriptures: what are they for and why should we bother getting ourselves acquainted with them? We learned the Bible is God’s self-revelation that pulls back the curtain for us to know who God is, who we are, the purpose of our lives, and the destiny of the ...read more

    A man welcomes and embraces self-discipline. He will use self-discipline as a means of accomplishing God’s purposes in his life, understanding that the flesh prefers indifference over discipline.

    Jesus warns his followers that the consequences of following him will be painful and disruptive, and that they’d better be prepared for it.

    The disciples were confused. When the Messiah came, peace and righteousness would reign from one end of the earth to the other. All the prophets agreed. And if Jesus was the Messiah as they were all now pretty sure he was, he would be the one who brought it about. He would be the Prince of Peace ...read more
