     | 5,683 views

    Peter and John before the Sanhedrin provide an example of how the child of God is to respond to pressure from the world to conform to low expectations.

    “When [the guards] had brought [Peter and John before the council], they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, ‘We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood ...read more

    Seek a genuine heart relationship with God, and not the superficial religion of the Pharisees.

    Nullification – Mark 7:1-23 This morning, I’d like to invite you to look into chapter seven of Mark’s gospel with me, and to consider what God may want to say to you from this portion of his word.

    The world in which we live isn't shy about telling us what a beautiful woman looks like but is this the beauty that God would have us chase after? God's idea of beauty differs vastly from society's idea of beauty - but which beauty are we running after?

    Beautiful in God’s Sight - 2 Timothy 1:3-10 - May 8, 2011 Mother’s Day Well I think it is pretty safe to say that “beauty” is big business these days, isn’t it? Would you women agree with that statement? When you take into account everything from hair care, to ...read more

    Daniel's response to his vision demonstrates how to avoid having our relationship with God slowly fade away.

    Go ahead and turn in your Bibles to Daniel 8 as we continue our journey through the Old Testament prophets. This morning, rather than read the entire passage all at once at the beginning, we’ll deal with our passage section by section. As always, the first thing that we want to do is to put ...read more

    WHERE AND WHAT SHOULD THE CHURCH BE DOING TODAY?

    INTRODUCTION...Today we are going to continue our talk about the HOLY GHOST and how we allow Him to dwell in us. But before we do I must say this...when we walk into God's House to worship we should leave ALL else behind. We should be here to commune with God only and if we are here for any other ...read more

    Many believers come to a point of frustration in their service for the Lord simply because they fail to realise the need to be filled with the Spirit if they are to work and act in God’s power. Just as we cannot save ourselves apart from the work of the H

    Christmas condemns all who have rejected Christ, but it offers hope should such people turn in faith to the Son of God.

    “Behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.

    Anger, unchecked and uncorrected, affects: 1) Our View of Ourselves, 2) Our Worship of God, and 3) Our Relation to Others.

    One of the most shocking crimes a society deals with is when a child kills. Sometimes it is a swarming of a child by a group of kids (Rena Verk), sometimes it is the killing of parents by children (Menendez brothers) and more recently the killing of a girl directed by a rival girl M.J.
