Doing The Stuff

Contributed by Fredrik Rich on May 6, 2002

This message looks at the raising to life of Tabitha (Dorcas) as a more affective means of evangelism to her community than her good works, good and necessary as they were in preparing the way.

Reading 1: Acts 9:32-43 Reading 2: Colossians 3:22-4:1 Sermon Miracles don’t really happen anymore, do they? Our passage this morning would certainly suggest that miracles were once common in the church. In fact, the Bible is full of miracles. You might even have your own favourite ...read more

Experiencing Hope Expressing Hope

Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jun 16, 2005

This text is troubling because it doesn’t seem to connect, but when you dig in it has a beautiful message of praying for the nations.

Experiencing Hope/Expressing Hope (Mark 11:1-24) Sometimes we have a conception that people who approach life in a lighthearted manner don’t take things seriously enough.
