    Builders Or Wreckers? Series

    Contributed by Matthew Street on Oct 13, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,216 views

    Are we like Paul and Barnabas builders in God’s Kingdom or are we more concerned about doing things in the way they have always been done with the result that we like the Jews miss the new things that God is doing and become wreckers rather than builders

    Building something up is so much harder than tearing it down. We only need to think about the last time we had some redevelopment work done on our house to know that this is true. It takes no time to knock out those old windows or that old kitchen but it takes much longer to replace them. Gerald ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 14,332 views

    The first of a three sermon series on prayer.

    It has been said the prayer is the greatest secret weapon of the church today. Great, because God promises to answer prayer; secret, because most Christians do not know how prayer works. Our Lord’s disciples had asked Jesus to teach them to pray (v. 1). As part of his answer, Jesus shared a ...read more

     | 3,408 views

    The idea of Heaven works its way into every culture like the way that yeast works its way through the whole dough. Even in Communist China the Gospel of Jesus is being told and shared and people are coming to faith.

    It’s About Heaven Matthew 13:31-32 Matthew 13:33 Luke 18:1-8 Back to the Parables of Jesus Today we will quickly look at 3 of them. Did you know that the parables are about the Kingdom of Heaven?

     | 15,712 views

    "I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus." Thirty-four dimensions of maturity in Christ. When I became a man, I put away childish things -- including the fear of childishness and the desire to be grown-up.

    The Problem of Becoming Mature in Many Aspects Ephesians 4:15-15 The word teleios is the Greek word used for maturity. It implies a wholeness, perfection and completeness. Growing up in all aspects in Christ is a life-long exercise in discipling ourselves for the purpose of godliness. ...read more

     | 25,383 views

    The act of loving is what makes a person better than he is. Love enlarges the boarders of our heart, it deepens us & overflow from us. It is by loving that we come nearer to God & knit our soul to that of Jesus. To refuse to love is to contract inward
