    NINETEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST, YEAR B Well, you’ll have to look elsewhere for a complete answer to that question. But it is our contention that the book of Job deals with some profoundly difficult questions in the life of faith, and it does so without easy answers or simplistic cliches

    MAIN TEXT: One day the heavenly beings[i] came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan[j] also came among them to present himself before the LORD. 2 The LORD said to Satan,[k] “Where have you come from?” Satan[l] answered the LORD, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up ...read more

    This is a message that will help identify Jesus.

    Text: When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” (Matthew 16:13). This is an excellent question for us today. If Jesus were here and ask us that very question, what would be our response? What would we say? ...read more

    This message from Exodus deals with the 10 commandments found in Exodus 20, and also points to how Jesus interpreted the 10 commandments by making them into just two.

    As Christians we are chosen by God to join others in a church community where we find belonging, significance, love, and where we serve one another. A church is not about catering to our own individual needs and wants.

    The Special WE September 6, 2009 1 Pet 2:9-12 Intro: We are special. That is a true statement, and an important one. We are special – we, the people of God called Laurier Heights Baptist Church are special. As true as the statement is, it is problematic. We hear “special”, and think ...read more

    The thing that you think might do you in, may be the thing that saves you. What should have killed Jonah, saved him.

    Sometimes what you think might do you in you, will be the one thing that saves you. Sometimes the worst possible thing that could happen to you – is exactly what you need. Sometimes the thing you fear, is the thing that will turn your life around. We see this with the prophet Jonah. He is thrown ...read more

    Let’s face it, following feelings instead of biblically informed faith fractures fellowship and destroys discipline. The Corinthian catastrophy has only one cure: Christ.

    You heard about the scientists who stopped using laboratory rats for certain experiments and began using preachers, didn’t you? The reason, they said, is because there are some things that even a rat won’t do. People do the most unbelievable things! I read a strange article in a news magazine: ...read more

    This is the seventh message in a series we're doing on 1st Corinthians. Today we're talking about how a little leaven will leaven the whole lump, and how Church discipline not only keeps the integrity of a congregation, but how it is actually a loving act to the sinning member.

    Text: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING Now we've been in 1 Corinthians for a while, and we've seen Paul address a few of the issues that were going on in that Church. And I don't know about all you, but I'm thankful that God chose to add this book to the ...read more
