     | 6,273 views

    What IS faith and HOW should it be practised? CAN we please God WITHOUT faith? What is the IMPACT of faith on a believer's life? Examples of the EFFECT of faith on people's lives who TRUSTED God, and the CONSEQUENCES of a LACK of faith on people's lives.

    Wrong About Religion

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 30, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 535 views

    If we focus on our tenets to the exclusion of focusing on the will of the Lord, we are in danger of drifting into Pharisaical Religion. If we allow this to happen, we will displease the Lord and oppose Him.

    “When the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the ...read more

    Sermon # 25 - God Who Heals Series

     | 223 views

    Health and long life are God’s precious gifts to us. The life of King Hezekiah is a great reminder that God hears our prayers and brings healing to our bodies. No matter what the illness we or someone close to us is struggling with, know that Jesus is our healer.

    We read in 2 Kings 20:5, “go back to Hezekiah, ruler of the LORD's people, and say to him, "I, the LORD, the God of your ancestor David, have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and in three days you will go to the Temple.” (GNB) King Hezekiah was really sick, and near ...read more

    In this last lesson from the series we look at some princples of giving found in Paul’s correspondence with the Corinthian church, and I try to inspire us with the joy of giving.

    Introduction: A. One Sunday a preacher told his congregation that the church needed some extra money and asked the people to prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate that morning. 1. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns. 2. After the ...read more

    Sensing God - Smell Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 18, 2018
     | 9,410 views

    This sermon is the last in a series which considers the five senses and how our senses help us in our relationship with God. In this message we see that we can be a pleasing aroma to God and the calling we have to be an aroma to the world.

    The sense of smell is a powerful sense. If you are like me, as an example, the smell of a coffee especially in the morning, is a reviving smell. You can be asleep and then, if someone loves you enough to make it for you, the smell is able to wake you up. This is fantastic. What a great way to ...read more

    Luke 3:15-17, 21-22 “God is Delighted with You!” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I think it’s safe to say that John the Baptist was as surprised as we are! Or at least, as surprised we should be if we were to read this passage of ...read more

    we spend far too much time trying to please everybody else, that we lose ourselves and our identities with God.

    Luke 7:11-23 You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Verse 14 says, "Then Jesus went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still." I want to take a strange twist on this text and for a little bit of time talk from the subject as the Holy Spirit shall lead and guide of, "I’m ...read more
