     | 24,985 views

    This chapter is filled with promises addressed directly to the community of faith. If we take hold of these promises our anxious perspective will be changed & our faith will be increased.

    JOHN 14: 1 – 6 THE WAY TO THE FATHER’S HOUSE The disciples were completely bewildered and discouraged. Jesus had said He was going away (7:34; 8:21; 12:8, 35; 13:33), that He would die (12:32-33), that one of the Twelve was a traitor (13:21), that Peter would disown Him three times (13:38), ...read more

    The pigs in Mark 5 teach us some important lessons about how to have a full life: Don’t let Satan destroy you; don’t let society detain you; instead, trust Jesus to deliever you.

    Pig Lessons (Mark 5:1-20) There is an old story about a village that bought a fancy tower clock. Some time after it was installed, a visitor to the town discovered that all the people were sleeping during the day and working at night.

    The Traits Of Token Religion

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jul 17, 2009
     | 2,787 views

    Just because someone attaches the word "worship" to a religious service, doesn’t mean that the term fits. This was often the case with Israel’s religous rituals. Sadly, it is often true of many church services in our day.

    The Traits Of Token Religion Text: Phil.1: 3-11 Intro: Today I want to focus on the thought mentioned in the second half of Philippians 1: 10. Paul tells the Philippians that he was praying that their love for Christ might continue to grow, resulting in knowledge, discernment, and sincerity. ...read more

    Repentance needs to lead to future avoidance if we are to live for Christ.

    Have you ever wondered why there are so many tales of failure in God’s Word ... so many indications of how people have failed in life? This suggests two things to me, among many others. One is that the Bible has these kinds of stories in it because God wrote it. If people had written this in their ...read more

    How do you feel when you finish accomplishing a task for the Lord? When you finish that task, does it mean that you’re mission is accomplished? Every accomplishment, every victory, every step along the way is just a step in accomplishing the mission tha

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ I want to take you for a few minutes back to another scene in biblical history. Think back to the time when Israel first entered into the Promised Land.

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,234 views

    As a church, the first step in developing a great connection with the community is to give serious thought toward our attitude to the community. Are we its judges, or our we the ones who bring blessing?

    Sermon for CATM on September 2, 2007 - “How Does God See our Community?” Luke 13:34 Jesus said: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not ...read more

    We can grow as friends of God by applying life lessons from three of God’s friends: David, Mary, and Peter. Appropriate for Pentecost, Confirmation, or honoring a pastor, deacon, teacher, or other faithful servant of God.

    “God’s Friends” Acts 2:1-21 The title for today’s sermon comes from a confirmation text book used in my church.(1) In fact, the scripture lessons I selected for today are actually the texts traditionally read in Christian churches around the world on Pentecost Sunday – the day on which ...read more

    In The Silence Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,608 views

    One way we can improve our worship experience corporately, is to meet with God more fully and intimately each day of the week. The fullest encounter of God is found not just in His presence, but encountering His glory.

    Encountering God – Part 3: “In the Silence” Quote from Children’s Letters to God. "Dear God, Is Pastor Bill a friend of yours, or do you just know him through business? Donny" Why did we do testimonies? Testimonies are for praise. Praise is about what God has done. Worship is about who God ...read more

    What a wonderful promise of rest we have from our God and king, but what does that rest mean? How are we to understand the rest He offers?
