    The Unity Of One Gospel Series

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Sep 22, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,902 views

    The Gospel unifies people of all nations, races, ethnicity, culture, education and economic status. The Gospel is over culture, therefore it can be adapted to culture.

    Is Christianity for everyone? Is it available to everyone? How much does a person need to be removed from their culture to become a Christian? This issue about the Gospel and culture is not new. Christians have struggled with the Gospel and the effects of culture since the very beginning. Today ...read more

    We all want revival. However, are you ready to follow God’s route to revival? God never shows up as a reviving fire until He first reveals Himself as a refining fire!

    “The Route To Revival” Text: I Kings 17:8-22; Malachi 3:2-3 8And the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying, 9Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee. 10So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to ...read more

    A Godly Stabilizer

    Contributed by Tim Patrick on Jun 23, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,241 views

    In this sermon you will see how a person can be a stabilizer at church, at work, and through-out the world, for God.

    Today we honor our senior adults. If I were to pick one word that describes senior adults it would be the word stable. Senior adults give stability to our church, our community, and our country. They are effective stabilizers. Do you know the definition of a stabilizer? The dictionary defines a ...read more

    Jesus said that we must change to become like children. What must you change?

    Precious little potential adults. Tiny packages of compressed energy. Imagination factories. Tricycle motors. Curtin Climbers.

    God’s divine Messiah thrills his sheep.

    Scripture Introduction During the last few months we have followed Jesus around Jerusalem as he interacts with a variety of people, especially confounding his enemies. Jesus often taught by a kind of paradox — a fact which I have sought to convey (in part) by the sermon titles. In John 8, Jesus ...read more

    The erosion of values always runs downhill.

    I think I need to begin by explaining the title of today’s sermon. Back in 1992 William Jefferson Clinton’s campaign slogan was, “It’s the economy, stupid.” His campaign manager, James Carville, formulated the saying to keep the Clinton campaign focused on an issue that was sure to beat George ...read more

    We need a new way of thinking. We need a new mind. We need to put away the pattern of this world and be renewed in our thinking to see life how God sees it.

    GROWING A BEAUTIFUL MIND Do these words sound familiar to you? “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will” (Rom 12:2). You have heard ...read more

    Making Peace When There Is No Peace

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 7, 2009
     | 5,523 views

    We would like to contribute to world peace, but how? Confront others with their wrongness; but before that, understand your own heart; and before that, be reconciled to God.

    "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." Well, who wouldn’t like to be that?! Who wouldn’t want to be a peacemaker and be rewarded by God and by a grateful world? "Blessed are the peacemakers." The trouble is, it’s not that easy. You and I may fantasize ...read more

    The World Turned Upside Down Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 5, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,846 views

    An adaptation of the Seder service: Jesus turns upside down all our common values: sorrow for slavery becomes sorrow for sin; common issues become community; and wandering becomes salvation, all through the Cross.

    When great crowds gather in city streets, it is either for a celebration or for a revolution. Throngs do not come together without a purpose; they come together either to celebrate a great occasion or to agitate for what they want. They come to see evidence of a world turned upside down.
