    You Can Remove Trash, Bugs & Weeds But How About Darkness?

    Contributed by Doug Koehler on Mar 20, 2009
    based on 26 ratings
     | 26,592 views

    Children often want darkness removed because they fear what they cannot see. For adults the darkness is more of a friend. Jesus is the remover of darkness but the light of the world is still waiting for many to see it. Sometimes it is hard even for Christ

    Open up the yellow pages and you can find a ton of listings that will remove pretty much whatever you want removed. There are ads for chimney sweeps to remove built up grime. There are people willing and able to remove insects, weeds, garbage, wallpaper, old fixtures, homes, cars and even bad ...read more

    The Embodiment Of God's Unremitting Love Series

    Jesus’s preaching differed from that of Jonah because Jonah prophesied judgement and vengeance, while Jesus embodied God’s unremitting love.

    Monday of 16th Week in Course 20 July 2009 Caritas in Veritate Before continuing a commentary on the papal encyclical Love in Truth, let me spend a moment on this analogy to Jonah. Jesus is saying to these Jewish non-believers, in effect, “Jonah eventually got it, and you guys will never get it.” ...read more

    To create interest for supporting the ministry of Asbury.

    Last Sunday I shared with you what I thought God was placing on my heart regarding Asbury for at least the next couple of years. A direction that I believe is based on three key Scriptures; Mark 12.18-21, Matthew 28.19-20 and John 15.8. Taken together, these three passages tell us that God wants ...read more

    The early church’s response to an internal problem teaches the contemporary church some valuable lessons.

    * The dramatic growth of the early church: last count (4:4) around 5,000 men (probably around 20,000 total) * Such growth led to a “good” problem: many more needed to be ministered to than there were people to minister * The 12 did not have the ability to both effectively deliver the Word and ...read more

    This message from Matthew 10 deals with Jesus sending out his men to preach and perform miracles. Jesus shared his power and mission with his men. The message focuses on five animal analogies Jesus used in instructing his men for ministry.

    Sheep & Wolves …Snakes & Doves … Sparrows Matthew 10:1 CHCC: February 6, 2011 INTRODUCTION: In this series on the Power of Jesus, we’ve seen some amazing miracles that prove His power over disease, demons, and even over the forces of nature. This week, we’ll see ...read more

    Apparently only a few people must have noticed that a man with leprosy had been healed that day.

    Matthew 8 - Part 2 - DID YOU SEE THAT? SOMEONE JUST GOT HEALED! I went to a conference in Brisbane once in a large Church lead by Pastor Reg Kliminiok. After he spoke, I went to him to thank him for his message. I finally got my opportunity after others had finished speaking with him. He took an ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 11,527 views

    Now this is interesting. Demon possession, evil spirits cast out, people being healed and a prophecy from the distant past saying this applied to Jesus. Why aren't all people healed today when they come to Jesus?

    Matthew 8:16-17 - "MY SPIRITUAL BATTLE FOR A PANADOL" - Matthew 8 - Part 6 Demons! There was a time when I told the Lord that I would do whatever He wanted me to do EXCEPT CAST OUT DEMONS and do weird stuff like that with the occult. I now realise that Jesus power and authority far exceeds that of ...read more

     | 5,290 views

    I have always thought that some CLAIRVOYANTS and some of those who prepare HOROSCOPES got their knowledge from demons. I have never been in doubt that WIGI BOARDS ARE DANGEROUS because they open people up to DEMONIC INFLUENCES.

    Part 9 - Matthew 8:16-17 - ON DEMONS, CLAIRVOYANTS, HOROSCOPES AND WITCHCRAFT I have always thought that some CLAIRVOYANTS and some of those who prepare HOROSCOPES got their knowledge from demons.

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 7, 2010
    based on 29 ratings
     | 9,576 views

    THE DESIRE FOR POWER IS OFTEN THE DOORWAY FOR THE DEMONIC. These men couldn't be bound by chains but they were certainly bound by Satan. They were almost completely under the control Satan, enslaved to him.

    Part 15 - Matthew 8:28-34 - AN UNHEALTHY DESIRE FOR POWER My daughter and son-in-law once lived in Parramatta in Sydney, quite near an old cemetery. It had historic significance for Sydney and was protected, I think, by the national trust. It angered me when it was vandalised. A part of our ...read more

    Have you ever felt like giving up? Have you ever wondered, even in what you try to do for God, whether it is doing any good? Let God be the judge of that!

    SEEMINGLY INSIGNIFICANT Text: John 3:1-16 Were so programmed to think BIG that many times we miss the power of SMALL!
