Who Is God

Contributed by Brian Menear on Mar 10, 2007

The Nature of Who/What God Is And How We Should Respond To Him

God 101 Contrary to popular belief, simply believing in God does not make you a Christian. James 2:19 tells us that even demons believe in God. What separates you is a desire to know God on a personal level, to grow closer, to learn more about him, and to have a relationship with him. The only ...read more

Taking The Floor Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 11, 2007

The crowds had looked for Jesus to be an earthly King... but when it became obvious He wasn’t going to be that, they turned their backs on Him and crucified Him. Jesus taught that His "Kingdom is not of this world." What can that mean to us?

Keeping The Stones Quiet

Contributed by J Bernard Taylor on Mar 31, 2007

Elisha Seeks The Blessing

Contributed by Colin Coombs on Jun 10, 2007

For Elisha to have the ’double-portion’ he desired there was a clear path to follow. There was a preparation to be made, a pryaer to be offered, a promise to be claimed, and the possession of the answer. What a challenge for us today!

ELISHA SEEKS THE BLESSING THE PATH TO THE DOUBLE-PORTION II Kings 2:1-15 Elisha had travelled with Elijah for a relatively short time, and had seen how the Lord had miraculously worked through Elijah. This must have inspired him to want the same anointing himself, but before Elisha could ...read more

Pre Marriage Relationships

Contributed by Mark Holdcroft on Jun 19, 2007

A painfully honest sermon, about developing a Godly pre-marriage relationship, from two people who failed God and had to fall upon His mercy. This was preached by my wife and I.

Relationships – How to develop a godly relationship We are going to talk about relationships before marriage today. The first thing that I want to say is that we didn’t do everything right.

Visual Sermon comparing our walk with Christ to a Table. Very powerful if done right and if the concepts are taken and made to fit your church.

Sometimes faith means moving through obstacles. We also see healing and forgiveness go hand in hand. The friends have enough faith to get the paralytic before Jesus - Then Jesus proves he has the authority to forgive.

Last week, as we ended chapter one, we saw that Jesus is the authority. This week, as we start chapter two, we see an intensification of this theme, Jesus is the divine authority, for not only does He have the authority to heal, as we saw in chapter one, but he also has the authority to forgive ...read more
