     | 4,316 views

    We often limit our expectation of God by the excuses we give Him to bless us. But God wants us to expect more from Him than what we can perform or deserve.

    RAISING THE BANNER OF EXPECTATION MINDSET OF GOODNESS Psalms 23:6 Doctrinal syllogism If the word spoken created all things and now keeps all things in existence. (Gen 1, Col 1) And if, for the word to work in me I must be transformed by the renewing of my mind. (Rom 12:2) It is therefore ...read more

    Bringing People To Jesus

    We often make excuses for not bringing people to Jesus. We look at all the obstacles and give up. These men in Mark 2 didn’t allow circumstances to become an obstacle in bringing this man to Jesus.

    Bringing People to Jesus Mark 2:1-12 Introduction Vs.1 1. There were four cities that were prominent in the life of Jesus. Bethlehem – Birth Nazareth – Grew up there Jerusalem – Crucifixion and resurrection Capernaum – Called His city (Matt 9:1) – Jesus did much of his ...read more

    Are You Ready For Persecution?

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Aug 12, 2012
     | 5,419 views

    Christians were persecuted by the Jews, then by the Romans, and by the Nazis and the Communists, and by fundamentalist Muslims and others today. Why should we in the West or US, Canada, Autsralia or New Zealand be excused from suffering for our faith?

    Gospel reading: Luke 21: 5-19 Sermon: Persecution May the words of my mouth ....... In the Gospels Jesus is recorded as saying some lovely things, that we are loved, that we are forgiven, that we are his friends, but in today's Gospel reading, his words are far from lovely. "They will lay hands ...read more

    It All Began At Pentecost!

     | 5,586 views

    The ushering in of the church of our Lord knew nothing of prayerless pews and lame excuses. The early Church began in that upper Room with about 120. They were in one accord, in one place lead by one Spirit.

    It all Began on Pentecost! Intro: As we travel thru the book of Acts our first stop will be Acts Chapter two. This is where the Church began. What was the message of the church? What was the purpose of the church. How did the church come about? How relevant is the church? All these ...read more

    Sometimes Leaving Makes More Sense Than Staying

     | 9,876 views

    Indecision and False Hope is not from God, People talk about the good old days as an excuse to stop discovering the new. God has a plan for us even when we do not know the future.

    A few years ago when we first started out fresh from college, we had many dreams. Some wanted to get more education and some talked about making money. Others wanted to live in the big city far away from their parents and some wanted to stay close to parents. Some were not comfortable with change ...read more

    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 4:8-11 - Message 14 - Do Not Become Wallowing Sows In Bondage – Protect Your Freedom In Christ Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 1, 2024
     | 613 views

    The Galatians had exchanged the bondage of idolatry for the bondage of the Law. False teachers promise freedom but chain their adherents in bonds. Our freedom in Christ must be protected. Do not use your freedom as an excuse to sin.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 4:8-11 - MESSAGE 14 - DO NOT BECOME WALLOWING SOWS IN BONDAGE – PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM IN CHRIST [PART A] Galatians 4:8 However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods, Galatians 4:9 but now that you have come ...read more

    The Challenge facing the church today is: IS THERE A PLACE FOR OUR CHILDREN IN MINISTRY? IS THERE A LAD HERE WITH GIFTS TO OFFER? IS THERE A GIRL HERE WHO HAS GIFTS TO OFFER? Well, let’s see as we approach our Target Text.

    “I will give my voice to the Lord. All the words I bring, all the songs I sing, I will give them to the Lord. I will give my hands to the Lord. All the things they do will be good and true, I will give them to the Lord. I will give my heart to the Lord. All the things I love are for Him above, I ...read more

    Building The Tabernacle

    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,107 views

    God’s plan needs the involvement of people. He wants us to offer what we have, not what we do not have. We are to offer them willingly, and God will accomplish His plan through the Holy Spirit.

    [Preached at a Prayer Meeting] Read Exodus 35:1-10 The people are now in the wilderness. • The Lord wants the people to worship Him – set aside a day and place. • The people are to seek God through the Tabernacle. • God has given Moses the instruction how to build it. In Exo 35 Moses gathered ...read more

     | 4,979 views

    What’s next after REPENTANCE? The answer is RIGHTEOUSNESS and HOLINESS. For the Lord shall be like REFINER’S FIRE and SOAP for CLEANSING, PURIFICATION, REFINEMENT, SANCTIFICATION, CONSECRATION, etc… So that we may OFFER to the LORD and OFFERING of RIGHTEO

    “You belong to God, my dear children. You HAVE ALREADY WON your FIGHT with these false prophets, because the SPIRIT WHO LIVES in you is GREATER than the spirit who lives in the world.” (1 John 4:4, NLT) Who are we, but a DIRTY WORM from the dust of the ground? “I am a MAN OF UNCLEAN LIPS, and ...read more

    Dream, Part 3: Determination

    Contributed by Dino Rizzo on May 5, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,883 views

    In the Bible, God offers you and me a dream. He offers us a life and purpose and mission that is beyond just existing, beyond functionality. This sermon addresses the determination needed in making God’s dream come true for you.

    If you have your Bibles, turn to the book of Mark. We have been in a series called "Dream". A lot of us need change in our lives and during the beginning of the year, a lot of times we will set goals, or look at different targets that we would like to hit. I think all of that is important and ...read more

    The devil wants to find out if you have a selling price. He will make some offers that sound too good to believe, and they always are. Hold out against his deceitful offers and God will reward you in the end.

    Get Sold Out, Not just Hold'n Out Luke 12:16-21 Man is made up of body, soul, and spirit. This trinity of mankind will work to be unified. You can't give your soul to God, your spirit to the devil, and your body to the world. Our God is a jealous God, but He is also a gentlemen. He is not a ...read more

    Will You Drink From His Cup?

    Contributed by Tim Diack on May 28, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,808 views

    There is rich symbolism, and deep meaning, in the elements of the Communion Table. When Jesus offered the cup to His disciples He was offering them so much more than a refreshing drink. He was inviting them into the richest of all relationships.

    Will You Drink From His Cup? - Matthew 26:26-29 - May 29, 2011 Turn with me, in your Bibles please, to the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew chapter 26 and we’ll begin reading in verse 26. The verses we’re about to read take place at the tail end of the last Passover that Jesus and His ...read more
