    Get Up Or Give Up?

     | 11,634 views

    When we articulate our past, we are getting ready for a repeat performance. The choice is ours ~ rehearse the past failures OR the past victories. David chose not to continue living in the past. Will you also take that step?

    Opening illustration: A young gentleman walked into the church that we were attending and ministering at in Massachusetts. He had decided to finish his life that night. His life had been in the fast lane, nothing had come out of it. He had been in numerous relations and being a lorry driver he had ...read more

    Christianity is all about a relationship with Jesus, and it is purely by grace. Its end is not salvation but fellowship with God.

    If someone were to walk up to you and ask you out of the blue, “How can I be saved?” what would you say? • Would you know how to answer him? What is the one thing that you would tell him? • You need to know. Your answer will determine where he spends ...read more

    A sermon that looks at what a living and active faith comprises

    James 2:14-18 Enriched and enriching or a whole lot of nonsense? I’ve spent some time lately in the veggie garden; I enjoy the sights and sounds of the garden growing. The beans quietly stretching up through the soil, the tomato plant as it battles against the spring cold with its occasional ...read more

    The Cost

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,367 views

    Once we have received Christ as our Lord and Savior, everything changes! Not only are we washed clean, but have a true Calling to serve Him! Here we examine what Christ has asked us to take into account before jumping right into this calling.

    The Cost: Have You Counted it? Luke 14:26-33 I want to thank Jordan for getting us started on series of messages every believer should take into consideration. A few weeks ago we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus, but as we learned last week, this event of salvation is truly just the starting ...read more

    God's Humble Servants Honored Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 2, 2009
    based on 66 ratings
     | 27,695 views

    God has had enough of people who do not listen to His word & despise those who do. God will one day judge those who are depending on externals to establish their relationship with Him, who delight in their way instead of the Lord’s way.

    ISAIAH 66: 1-6 GOD’S HUMBLE SERVANTS HONORED As the climax to the book, this chapter describes the Lord fulfilling some of the promises He has made. The Lord had promise to distinguish between His true people and those who honor Him with their lips but whose hearts are far from Him (especially ...read more

    Genesis verse-by-verse

    Genesis 23 Last week we saw Abram go through this phase of doubting the Lord. Remember how he took matters into his own hands when it came to dealing with the famine in the land God had promised him and about how the Egyptians would treat him when they found out Sarah was his wife.

    The crowd failed to understand the nature of Jesus’ Kingship, the significance of his humble entry to Jerusalem. Jesus came as the Christ but he was the Christ, the Messiah, who's the suffering servant.

    I wonder how many of you were around for the opening of Parliament house in 1988. We were living in Canberra at the time so it was a big event for us. The weekend before we took part in a prayer walk around the Parliament House hill with thousands of other Christians, but the big event was the ...read more

     | 8,208 views

    Looking a the men who were with Paul when it came time for him to die, Demas, a faithful man in the past, was the only one who left. He may have left the faith but he also may have found a more comfortable place to serve God.

    Consider Joshua's motivation - pray boldly to see that God's will is done. Consider his commitment - work hard to see that God's work is finished.

    Joshua made an audacious prayer. It was a prayer for the impossible. The fact that he even thought of it surprises everyone. • Today we want to look at his motivation behind that prayer, and his commitment to fulfilling God’s will. The chapter opens with 5 opposing Amorite armies ...read more

    Peace, The Church And Society

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 3, 2015
     | 2,946 views

    God will deal with the evil people of this world who do not repent and turn from their evil ways. We as members of the church are not to judge but are to be shepherds of the sheep, seekers of the lost, friends of sinners, the poor and broken-hearted.

    “You have heard it said of old, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but I say unto you; do not resist the evil person. If he strikes you on the left, turn to him on the right”. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5 verses 38-39 not to contribute to further violence by retribution, but ...read more

    Wicked Tenants In A Wicked World

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 24, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,445 views

    The parable of the wicked tenants is a statement of God’s concern for his people and a declaration that God’s plan cannot be defeated by man. If we love God, we realize that he knows the best way for us to live.

    He was, by all accounts, a successful man. This builder of fine homes in an upscale American suburb was known to all as a creative craftsman, a shrewd businessman, a fair-minded employer, and a generous benefactor. But he was aging now, and before he set out for Florida for the winter, he ...read more

     | 11,219 views

    What can we expect from the Holy Spirit in return for our trust? There are great possibilities in what we can do with help from the Holy Ghost.

    The Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Isaiah 11:1-5 When I began this week’s study, I have to admit that I went, “Yeah! This is week is going to be good!” because this idea has underpinnings that tell us of vast and great discernment about this world that we can tap in to. The ...read more

    Dealing With Divine Disappointment

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,496 views

    I’d like to give a few perspectives that will help us deal with divine disappointment. When we are less than thrilled about how or when God is working (or seemingly not working), what are we to think and do? Let’s take a look.

    Dealing with Divine Disappointment Luke 7:18-23 18 Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things. 19 And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?" 20 When the men had come to Him, they ...read more
