    The Real Marks of Greatness Mark 9:33-50 Lessons from the hen house Have you ever been around a farm? Something I’ve learned about chickens is that there is a definite "pecking order" to the flock. Within the flock of hens, one of them always becomes dominant. She will peck away at any hen that ...read more

    Without Faith, it’s impossible to please God... but how did such a religious community as Nazareth misplace its faith?

    OPEN: A man named Gregory P. Elder told of growing up on the Atlantic Coast. And what he loved to do as a child was to spend his time down at the beach.

    Is It Worth It?

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 11, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,290 views

    Is it worth it to follow Christ? Is it worth it to live faithfully? Is it worth it to give faithfully? Paul’s answer is, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."

    This message is based on three verses: Romans 8:18, 26, 28. The Bible states that those who sell out to Jesus Christ have the power of God at work within them. We’re not going to be living perfect lives. All of our lives, we’re going to be saying with Paul, "Wretched man that I am! Who will set me ...read more

    The Dynamite Of The Cross

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 14, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 14,757 views

    The dynamite (power) of the cross is displayed in the reaction of the centurion at Calvary’s cross. This is displayed through the righteousness and royalty of Christ, the response of heaven and the witness of the centurion’s own heart.

    The Bible does not give us many facts about activities of the centurions. In fact, centurions are referred to only four times in the Bible. Matthew 8 records the story where the centurion asked for his servant to be healed. “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the ...read more

    Being in Christ is more than being saved. It is consistanly walking, living and dwelling in the light of Christ.

    I want to talk about what it is to be "In Christ" tonight... What does the Bible means when they use the term “In Christ”? The Bible uses this term over 50 times in the New Testament. And if you actually study the phrase out you will find that “In Christ” is an actual place. The Bible talks about ...read more
