    The Word Of God Abides In You, And You Have Overcome The Evil One

    In the Bible, God speaks to us, and in prayer, we speak to him. And the two are interdependent in their effectiveness. The Scripture teaches us to pray and shows us what to pray and how to pray and tells us the basis for prayer and fills us with encourage

    This is the last Sunday of Prayer Week. The reason we sandwich Prayer Week with a sermon on prayer and a sermon on the word of God is that these are the two great means of grace that God uses to conform us to the image of his Son (Romans 8:29; Colossians 3:10). The Interdependence of Prayer and ...read more

    God’s love for the wayward and lost and his desire for all of his children to return to him and live as children of God.

    Have you ever lost anything valuable to you before? Perhaps you have lost your keys, wallet or purse, or something even more valuable? [Prompt the congregation for items they have lost]. If you have lost something of value you know the feeling of panic. You know how desperately you search for ...read more

    Eleventh in a series on Ephesians. Our situation was hopeless, but God intervened.

    When we began our study of Ephesians chapter 2 last week, we saw that Paul painted a very realistic, and yet disheartening picture of what our lives were like without Jesus Christ. Paul made it clear that we need a Savior because without one, we are dead in our transgressions and sins; we were ...read more

    When Jesus went to the Garden, He didn’t go alone. He took His friends with Him because this was a "full court press" kind of praying that He intended to do.

    (We showed “full court press” schematics on the overhead. We found them at http://cldj.tripod.com/221fc.html) OPEN: Up on the screen you’re going to see a few basketball diagrams. Does anybody know what basketball strategy these diagrams are illustrating? (full court press) According to “Maven’s ...read more

     | 11,939 views

    Because of Adam’s sin in the Garden, God cursed creation. Ever since that curse, man has been involved in the spiritual warfare that rages between our Savior and sin. But God has declared victory from the beginning of the struggle through salvation. In

    1. God promised there would be unseen warfare with the redeemer (3:15a—And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed…) 2. God promised there would be ultimate victory by the redeemer (3:15b—…it shall bruise thy head…) 3. God promised there would be undeserved ...read more

    Part VI in the series - 24. This is a first person narrative account from the perspective of the penitent thief on the cross. The preaching idea: Only by the innocence of Christ are the guilty set free.

    Introduction… My prayer is that over the past six weeks that those of you who have been present for this series of sermons have been moved by the stories that we have experienced. One of the great things about preaching – is that before the message ever gets to you I’ve spent hours and hours in ...read more

    Psalm Of The Forsaken Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Apr 3, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,677 views

    This series looked at the cross from the OT point of view. Psalm 22 is a perfect prophecy of what would happen to Jesus on the cross. His forsakeness is our assurance we will never be rejected.

    PSALM OF THE FORSAKEN Anyone who reads Psalm 22 can easily see Jesus written all over it and in it. This Psalm is often called the Psalm of Jesus or even the fifth Gospel. It is probably the most amazing of all the Psalms in that we have such a clear picture of the crucifixion of Jesus. And David ...read more

     | 3,824 views

    Jesus used money and things to illustrate a spiritual point because everyone understands money. So if the kingdom of heaven is so valuable, why doesn’t everybody do everything they can to be a part of it? I think it’s because value is often in the eye o

    I have always been a car nut. When I was fourteen I asked my dad if he was going to buy me a car when I turned 16. He told me that if I wanted a car, I had better start saving for one. So I did.

    If I had been Jesus, I would have shown the men on the road to Emmaus my scars and proved I had risen from the dead... but Jesus didn’t do that. Why?

    OPEN: For the past few weeks, I’ve been preaching on the topic of CSI-Jerusalem. We’re Crime Scene Investigators…or more specifically “Cross Scene Investigators”. The following story is true.
