    Open Door Policy Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 22, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,031 views

    It isn't size, or status, or wealth, or popularity that measures the worth of the church: it is faithfulness.

    We began the week with the story of the Chicago nightclub fire in which 21 people were killed as they rushed to the exit. The club had already been cited for overcrowding and other safety violations - like not enough doors and windows. What happened was that a bouncer used pepper spray to break ...read more

    An Open-Ended Prayer

    based on 4 ratings

    Waiting faith and expectant trust.

    AN OPEN-ENDED PRAYER. Psalm 123:1-4. This is a short, impassioned prayer: a plea for help in the face of adversaries. It begins with adoration, with an abrupt “Unto You…” (PSALM 123:1). This is a song of Ascents and its opening may be paralleled to another: ‘I to the hills will lift ...read more

    A sermon for Baptism of the Lord Sunday.

    “Heaven Torn Open” Mark 1:4-11 Throughout the Old Testament, from the Fall in Genesis—forward—God is cloaked in mystery. Throughout the wanderings of the Israelites in the wilderness, Moses is God’s mouthpiece through whom God speaks. When the Tabernacle was set up, the Lord led the people by ...read more

    Adversaries At The Open Doors

     | 8,347 views

    When you ask God to give you opportunities do not expect the devil to rejoice when He does.

    1 Corinthians 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. 2019 is a great and open door for ministry, The sky is the limit. There are many needs so there is one or two somewhere you can meet whether you are 8 or 88. God is on your side for ministry, ...read more

    Open The Doors Of The Church Series

     | 4,567 views

    Jesus enjoins us to do the will of the Father, but learning how to do God's will is a lifelong journey.

    Thursday of the 1st Week in Advent Joy of the Gospel When I read this passage from the great prophet of Advent, the Hebrew priest Isaiah, my memory goes back almost ten years to our pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Both the Old and New Testaments contain a recurring theme, one we see most perfectly ...read more

    Persecution: The Opening Salvoes

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 25, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,935 views

    Religious opposition to the Gospel!

    PERSECUTION: THE OPENING SALVOES. Acts 4:1-31; Acts 5:12-42. Soon after the early success of Pentecost, the fledgling New Testament church found herself facing persecution. This is not surprising, and quite in keeping with the pattern of the earlier ministry of Jesus. For example, Herod the ...read more

    If you have experienced the Father's Love in Christ at Christmas, this is not the end of all things but the beginning of everything: If anyone is in Christ, he is a new Creation.

    The Father’s Opened Gift 2 Corinthians 5:11-17 We have been looking at some of the gifts of the Almighty God in sending Jesus, the Messiah, the one-and-only-one-of-a-kind “Son of God”, anointed to come to earth in the Flesh to demonstrate the lavish Love of God in Christ’s ...read more

     | 19,667 views

    We’re all so different. We come from different backgrounds, different convictions. But when we all love each other and open arms to all kinds of people, that’s when the beauty of unity is seen. And God wants that here.

    INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles to Romans 15. I am preaching through the book of Romans verse after verse. We are actually coming down to the last two chapters. Paul is trying to get very practical as he speaks to the church there in Rome. And you’ve got to remember, there are all different ...read more

    We need to get very, very serious about promoting priestly vocations

    Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost Extraordinary Form “Ephpheta, be thou opened,” Jesus said, after groaning, “and immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment to his speech was loosed, and he spoke clearly.” Come to any baptism–as we’ll have here on Saturday the eighteenth, and you’ll hear ...read more

    Doors: Open Or Closed

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 24, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 82,860 views

    The majority of the body of Christ believes that God opens doors (a "yes" answer to prayer) and closes doors (a "no" answer to prayer) in their lives. Does scripture support such a belief?

    The message today is one that I believe is going to challenge traditional thinking in the Body of Christ. How many of you have heard the following statements and, perhaps, even said them? ? When God opens a door no one can close it. ? When God closes a door no one can open it. ? When one door ...read more

    The Encounter Of Openness And Truth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 28, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,410 views

    It is God who sets things in motion, and God who opens hearts to the Gospel.

    THE ENCOUNTER OF OPENNESS AND TRUTH. Acts 16:9-15. It is a bit of a cliché, but ‘when God closes one door, He opens another’. This was certainly the experience of Paul and his companions: Silas (cf. Acts 15:40), Timothy (cf. Acts 16:1-3), and Luke (cf. Acts 16:10). We are not told how, ...read more

    Do you work for a company that has an Open Door policy? We serve a God that does.

    The Christians Open Door Matthew 7:7-12 Through the shed blood of Jesus, we as Christians, have an open door to God and to the throne of grace. We have an open door to the holy of holies, to the unshakable riches of Christ. Many of us, however, stand at the door with a wistful eye and refuse to ...read more

    The Gates Must Be Opened Series

    Contributed by James Dina on Jan 11, 2022
     | 13,711 views

    If these gates remain shut, it will limit our service to God and hinder our destiny fulfilment; but when these gates are opened, we will have exponential church growth, improvement in our church finances and abundant blessings.

    THE GATES MUST BE OPENED “When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him” (Acts 12:10) We shall ...read more
