    Today we live in a society set on redefining so many things, even the most basic things about life and ourselves, even gender and sexuality. Why? It goes down to the concept of worldview, and deconstructionism

    Let’s just take an honest look at this verse and see what we can discover.

    Be Filled With The Spirit Ephesians 5:18 Introduction: This text has been abused and misused by “modern day perfectionists” (second blessing teachers), “modern day Corinthians” (tongues speaking is evidence of the filling of the Holy Spirit), “modern day healers” (they place the physical over the ...read more

    What's The Significance Of A Shepherd? Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Jan 5, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 23,345 views

    This message looks at the significance of the shepherd and how it is essential to understanding God’s plan for church leadership.

    The image of the shepherd seems somewhat irrelevant to modern Americans. Without a doubt this makes it quite difficult to communicate God’s plan for church leadership. The picture of the shepherd fails to connect with us in the modern church. Shepherds would have been as common to the original ...read more

In John 10:22-30, we see a picture of Jesus as both the provider of eternal security and the voice we are called to follow. But how do we hear this voice? How do we ...read more

    This sermon highlights the importance of faithfulness in relationships, particularly in marriage, as a reflection of our covenant with God. Through Malachi’s message, we are called to recommit to faithfulness in all aspects of life, mirroring God’s own unwavering loyalty to us.

    How To Share Your Faith Without Being A Jerk Series

     | 26,850 views

    Four important principles for sharing our faith in Jesus without being obnoxious about it in a postmodern context.

    (Note: This sermon was introduced with a drama called "Nail The Pagan). The reason we laugh  at satire is because there’s an element of truth in it. Sometimes in our enthusiasm to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others we can tend to come across like outreach commandos. We can come off ...read more

     | 18,676 views

    There are times we are tempted to accuse God of negligence in the way he runs our lives. But God reminds us that we can trust him.

    JOB 38:1-11 QUESTIONING GOD I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, who is also a pastor, and he was describing to me one of his members. “This member is a modern-day Job,” he told me. Why do you think he described one of his members as a “modern-day Job”? I’m sure it’s because of all ...read more
