    We chase after meaning in the same idols that the Teacher of Ecclesiastes did. Ultimately he found no satisfaction in acclaim & recognition ...nor will we.

    Everyone struggles with purpose, but how should we look for our purpose from God.

    The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD , for the LORD is about to pass by." Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD , but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD ...read more

    The Way We Were, Pt 8 Seized With Fear Series

    Contributed by Joe Hayes on Nov 2, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,076 views

    The Fear of The Lord also means we should have a terror in our hearts because God is not the nic pink fluffy God people say he is.

    Church as it was meant to be, was a community of saints who feared God. (Acts 9:31) In doing these studies, we want to discover and do church the way God has designed His Church to be, without personal preference, cultural influence or denominational perspectives. A person’s experience of their ...read more

     | 14,895 views

    This is my fourth sermon in the series and looks at how we are to be productive as we act as God's kingdom here.

    It seems strange to mix the sacred with the everyday, to describe the eternal with the ordinary, the infinite with the finite. And yet that is exactly what Jesus did when looking for a way to illustrate the Kingdom of Heaven, a treasure in a field, a merchant looking for a pearl the tiniest of ...read more

    Countering our tendency to feel as though we are simply a "face in the crowd", this series focuses on several characters in the gospel story that were mentioned only briefly and yet they were used by God in amazing ways.

    "Faces in the Crowd: Simeon" Luke 2:25-35 Opening Question: “Has there been a time or period in your life where you felt as if you were simply a face in the crowd – insignificant, unimportant? Would you say that at one time or another in your life, you have struggled sensing your worth or your ...read more
