    I’m Heading In The Right Direction 7-29-07 New Series: The New Me – Pt. 4 Phil. 3:12-14 Intro.

    Why Was Christ A Carpenter?

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 6, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,295 views

    It was not by chance or mere coincidence that Christ was raised in the environment of a carpenter’s shop.

    In Mark 6:3 we read, "Is not this the carpenter?" I believe nothing was left to chance in the life of our Lord. Every day’s experience had been foreseen and planned in the counsels of deity before the Incarnation took place. There were no surprises for Him. He was never caught unaware. He knew the ...read more

    A strong call to holiness is our walk and worship as we move through this world.

    GET RID OF THE LEAVEN TEXT: Exodus 12:15-20; l Corinthians 5:7-8 Exodus 12:15 20 -- “Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off ...read more

    This message explores paradigms in the Bible for the Kingdom of God, giving special attention to the Bridal/Marriage Paradigm.

    (Significant inspiration for this message received at the International House of Prayer Pastor’s and Leaders Conference & the leadership team at IHOP). Opened with a review of my background in an ATS Philosophy Class reading and studying Paradigms Definition of Paradigms – Frames of Reference. ...read more

    Me, Myself and I 9-30-07 Last week the warning was about a danger that is within the Church even if not within this congregation. This week’s sermon is also a warning but it is a warning of a more intimate nature. This morning I want to sound the warning against the ...read more

    As we continue with the 24 series we look at Jesus instructions on Worry.

    Don’t Worry Be Happy Rev. Denn Guptill It is a great song. I remember when that song first came out we were living in Truro at the time.

    Where do we as Christians find our definition and understanding of love?

    The husband had just finished reading the book, "MAN OF THE HOUSE". He stormed into the kitchen and walked directly up to his wife.

    Without A Doubt

    Contributed by Gregg Rustulka on Mar 29, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,285 views

    As we walk with God in our daily lives “doubt” seems to rise up consistently. When we talk about our faith, our assurance, or having confidence it can be easily recognized that the opposite of these is DOUBT.

    Without A Doubt Scripture: John 20: 24 - 29 Key Verse: “Then Jesus said to him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’” Ill: One day John Wesley was walking with a troubled man who expressed his doubt as to the goodness ...read more

    Crossing The Line Series

    Contributed by David Richardson on Apr 17, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,363 views

    Man is ultimately responsible for any and all of his actions. Nowhere in the Bible will you find a verse that excuses man’s sin. Rather what it does prove is that we have an all-knowing God, an omniscient God.

    Crossing the Line Scripture: Romans 3:5-6 5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7 Someone might ...read more

     | 2,659 views

    Looking at John 4:21-24, we discover what Jesus really wants from us in our worship.

    Open the eyes of my heart – of our hearts. What does that really mean? You know we sing these songs of worship on Sunday morning or with the radio day in and day out, but do we really take the time to think through the words and to search the scriptures to make sure what we are singing is ...read more

    Does having the mind of Christ mean being mindless?

    If you are not a Star Trek fan you may be wondering what in the world is up with that title. Star Trek has been used to preach “another gospel” since the original series came on in 1965. Only since I became a Christian in 1975 have I understood the Star Trek message. Before that it was just ...read more

    What an amazing man Paul was! He is still impacting the lives of millions today for Christ. After Saul saw Jesus, we can see Jesus in Saul (Paul).

    There are three major characters whose names are used more than any others by far in the New Testament. Do you know who they are? First, of course, is Jesus. His name occurs 1275 times, and the name Christ, 530 times. The word “God” which is not a name, occurs 1253 times, Spirit, 338 occurrences ...read more
