    I believe God is offering much the same call to decision He offered to Israel: Repentance or Retribution.

     | 19,068 views

    Peter discovers that God has more in mind than just the people of Israel as he’s taken outside his comfort zone to share the gospel with Cornelius

    It’s a weird story isn’t it? Peter’s up on the roof of Simon the Tanner’s house in the middle of the day praying and he starts to feel hungry. So he asks the cook to prepare some lunch and while he’s waiting he falls into a trance. Perhaps the heat of the day has got to him. Perhaps he starts to ...read more

    Spiritual Discplines Silence and Solitude It is a well-known fact that the people of this Church are extremely well read!

    The danger of looking to external “signs” to guide you into God’s will. So how do you know if God is leading you?

    I don’t recommend very many movies – and I especially don’t recommend the movie I’m about to mention. But sometimes lines spoken in movies jump off the screen and into the dictionary and become part of the way we think and speak – and inform us about ourselves and our attitudes. In the movie ...read more

    Hardship comes to the best of Christians. The healing power leads to the stoning of Paul . Some people just won’t quit, positive or negative.

    Portrait Of The Church Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Nov 8, 2006
    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,889 views

    This is the first sermon in a series addressing the need for the Church to preserve its nature and purpose the way Christ intended it. This sermon speaks largely to the meaning of true fellowship.

    PORTRAIT OF THE CHURCH Some of you may ask why I titled this study on Corinthians “Preserving the Church in a Pagan World”. You may even object to the word “preserving” as sounding too much like maintaining or holding out against the world when the Church should be boldly invading our world. ...read more

    We are called to look beyond this world to the Lord--he is always our help.

    All Problems Solved? Last week we looked at our first song for the road, the first of the Psalms of Ascent – and it was one that got us going on the road of faith by reminding us of the need to repent.

    Holiness: The Hollow Inheritance Series

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Jan 21, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,964 views

    The God who we find in the Bible, is the God of real life, not the God of our imagined Disneyfied Happy Ending Life. Nasty, bad things happen in life. Being holy is not looking good, its dealing with life God’s way.

    What you believe will determine how you behave and your behavior reveals your true beliefs. We who have been involved in the church for many years read this Scripture about holiness and we say to ourselves…I know all about that holiness stuff, we say…Holiness is literally God separating us from ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 8,893 views

    What fears cause us to back away from the Presence of the Lord? Fear that He will require more than you are willing to give? We can probably relate to some of the same fears that these people did many years earlier.

    June,2007 Fears that Keep Us from His Presence Luke 8:26-39 INTRODUCTION: Jesus did many miracles when He lived on earth. One of those miracles involved the deliverance of a demon-possessed man who had been living among the tombs for a long time. He was so out of control that he could no ...read more

    Exposition of Zech. 9

    God at War Zech. 9 Of all the descriptions of God found in the Bible, one of the most shocking is found in a song sung by Moses and the people of Israel after their rescue from the Egyptians at the Red Sea.

    It’s not if conflict happens, but when - how do we get through it?

    Relationships Are Everything Dealing With Conflict Matthew 18:15-20 A funny thing happened quite a few years ago in Darlington, Maryland.
