    The Law Of Moses Series

    Was the Mosaic law good or bad? Why did God give it to Israel, and what part did it play for His people?

    OPEN: Why do laws exist? Why do we have them? I thought about that a lot this week…and this was my conclusion: “Laws exist to modify behavior and to help us know what is acceptable and what isn’t.” Now, if that’s true, why were these laws written? In Michigan it is illegal to paint sparrows to ...read more

    Freedom To Choose

    Contributed by Paul Searight on Mar 28, 2010

     | 18,193 views

    In Christ we have freedom to choose. In a choice laden world do we make the right choices. We made the big choice, God, but are we daily making the right choices? Are we taking our sin seriously? With freedom comes responsibility.

    Freedom to Choose When I was working on the book I published on the Great British Hymns – John Parker and I visited Oxford and whilst there visited one of the oldest English churches in the centre of Oxford. On a pillar near the pulpit was a small plaque commemorating those men martyred by ...read more

    Forgiving Means Forgeting Series

    Contributed by Michael Luke on Jul 22, 2016
     | 7,763 views

    Misconceptions concerning forgiveness have forged a very formidable spiritual myth. This spiritual myth is the widely-held belief that genuine forgives means literally forgetting what happened.

    Series: Mythbusters “Forgiving Means Forgetting” 1 Samuel 12:13-14 Matthew 18:21-35 Open After a two week break with Youth Sunday two weeks ago and the concert last week, we’re back in our series of messages called Mythbusters. We’re focusing in on spiritual myths. ...read more

     | 452 views

    Satan is real, not a metaphor. But he is not an independent force for evil; he is a created being, and therefore under God's sovereign control. Here is what Peter tells us about how to defeat him.

    We live in a rationalistic age. We live at a time when a purely materialistic view of the world is the one commonly accepted, a time when talk of the supernatural is dismissed as nothing more than fables and legends, myths and superstitions; the archaic remnants of a medieval world view. Our ...read more

    The third message in a series looking at what keeps us from really dreaming great things for God.

    “Burrs in Our Saddle” Are You an Old Dog? INTRODUCTION: It is amazing to me the lengths a horse will go to removing, or trying to remove a burr under its saddle. The burr, as small as it is, is a source of great discomfort. That burr causes major discomfort to the horse. Discomfort to the point ...read more

    Good Shepherding

     | 4,654 views

    How can we call Jesus the "good shepherd" when there is so much tragedy? From the Sunday after the Columbine shootings. Deals with the problem of evil.

    "I am the good shepherd..." The very fact that Jesus chooses to describe himself as such suggests that there were other less-than-good shepherds operating in the neighborhood. There were people who cared more for themselves than the sheep and were less than considerate-perhaps even brutal at ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 3,043 views

    our attitude to money can be a real block to God’s blessing in our lives. We need to recognise 1) "The Power of money"... work towards 2) "The Pacifying of money" and see 3) "The Potential of money" for blessing in our lives and the Kingdom of God

    I don’t want to preach to you about tithing. I want to encourage you to live a generous life! Jesus said more about money than anything else.

    A minister was speaking about all the things money can’t buy. “Money can’t buy happiness, it can’t buy laughter and money can’t buy love” he told the congregation. Driving his point home he said, “What would you do if I offered you $1,000 not to love your mother and father?” A hush fell over the ...read more
