    Paul gives us reasons for obey God . . . even when no one else may be looking.

    Paul exhorts the Philippians to obey God, even when he wasn’t around. Like parents who hope their kids will behave even when mom or dad aren’t around to check on them, Paul wanted the Philippians to obey, motivated by higher things than just the possibility of being rewarded by Paul or ...read more

    There are three relationships that the Bible describes. Each one of these relationships has a key word that keeps them in focus.

    Shine as lights in the world. Philippians 2:15 In our study of Philippians we have looked at the amazing author, Paul, who writes this most positive letter from prison. It's a letter laced with joy. Why? Because of the relationship the writer has with Jesus Christ. His every breath is about ...read more

    Remember Jesus words to us: Unless you become as a child again, you will not inherit the kingdom of heaven! Our Lord does not mean there is anything wrong with maturing in growing up. There is a big difference between being child-like and childish.

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service; there are four Scripture Readings before the Sermon.

    Demands My Soul, My Life, My All Series

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Apr 5, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,136 views

    Human beings have a strong tendency to live life in their own individual ways. We bristle at the idea of anyone – even God telling us how to live. But when we see Jesus' obedience on the cross it can motivate us to obey God.

    Introduction: C. S. Lewis is probably best known today as the author of The Chronicles of Narnia because that series of children’s books have been made into movies. Lewis wrote many other books, including one entitled, Mere Christianity. In that book he tries to explain and “defend ...read more

    Intro: There is a story about a little girl who proudly wore a shiny cross on a chain around her neck. One day she was approached by a man who said to her, "Little girl, don't you know that the cross Jesus died on wasn't beautiful like the one you're wearing? It was an ugly, wooden thing." To which ...read more

    Becoming More Like Christ

     | 7,028 views

    Becoming more like Christ is the desire of every Christian. The more we get to know Him, the more we become like Him

    The ultimate of our Christian life is to become like Jesus. God created us in His own image according to Genesis 1:26. That means everything. He wants us to be like Him. That nature of God in man was marred by sin. God has been longing to see that image restored in us. When we come to Christ, that ...read more
