    Is God pleased with our work if we run out of money in the middle of it? Is God pleased with our ministry if it doesn't seem to be successful? How can we know if we are investing our time and talents in ways that God will approve of?

    I don’t know if the tough decisions our leadership has been wrestling with have trickled all the way down through the congregation yet - though it would surprise me if you haven’t noticed that attendance at worship is down. Well, one of the challenges that goes along with a drop in attendance is a ...read more

    Hope is God's gift to the believer. The fact is that God Almighty put you on this earth with a specific purpose. You have a divine destiny that no one else on this planet can achieve but you.

    Hope is God's gift to the believer. David writes in Psalms 42:5, "Hope though in God". Say that with me. "Hope thou in God". Jeremiah writes, "For I know the plans I have for you," saith the Lord, "They are plans for good, plans to give you a future and a ...read more

     | 639 views

    When you consider our topic, it is a prayer and not an instruction or a commandment. it reveals the critical need element in all of us and the desperate state of human depravity without the Savior and without divine help because we all need help.

    I first preached this message in 2006, five unique variations in five different services. And with each one, I was profoundly blessed by the inexhaustible dimensions through which the same Scripture revealed Christ. One text. One Christ. Multiple perspectives. This particular message is the ...read more

     | 673 views

    It's easy to make the story of the loaves and fishes just about money, but the reality is that it is a story of surrender.

    Let Go of Your Loaves It was a beautiful day. Jesus had crossed over the sea of Galilee and the crowd discovering where he was going followed on foot, covering a distance of approximately 15 kilometres and Luke tells us in chapter 9:10 that they finally caught up with him in Bethsaida.

This sermon was extremely well received, and had a higher than usual attention level!) SCENE 1: Have you ever ...read more
