    Pray And Believe! Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Sep 7, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,577 views

    Based on the Parable of the Persistent widow, this sermon encourages people to pray and pray and pray again. We preached these sermons in conjunction with the Pray 21 project that brings youth and adults together to pray for 21 days.

    BELIEVE AND PRAY! Believe and pray! This may sound backwards. Should we not pray believing that God will answer our prayers? Yes, but this simple little exercise of semantics puts the foundation of faith before the act of prayer. Many of us pray but few of us believe that our prayers will be ...read more

    In the midst of gloom and doom in our lives we tend to focus so much on ourselves that we miss the fact that we are still walking with Jesus!

    13That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16But their eyes were ...read more

    This sermon compares Peter’s ministry with Cornelius in Acts 10 to the open door God is giving our congregation to be partners in ministry with a Hispanic speaking congregation.

    The purpose and reason for a Godly fast.

    Fasting What is the purpose of fasting? Why do we do it? What can we hope to accomplish? Have you ever gone through a fast. Did you accomplished anything? Did you break strong holds? What were you really trying to do? I ask, does fasting change God. Can we manipulate Him into ...read more

    The Muslim Maze, Pt. 4

    Contributed by Dave Kinney on Nov 29, 2004
    based on 24 ratings
     | 2,999 views

    This series could be summed up this way...Jesus raised the dead and Mohammad killed the living. Jesus healed the sick and Mohammad harmed the healthy. Jesus released the oppressed and Mohammad enslaved the free! And it’s still happening today!

    “The Muslim Maze”, Pt. 4 Matthew 7:15-20 I just want to go on record as saying again; these 4 weeks have not been a Muslim bashing with hate. But rather it’s been an Islamic exposing with truth. Last week we covered some good ground in order to search out the facts about Islam. Just think for ...read more

    Why is it our Christmas joy, peace, and hope are so fleeting? Perhaps, as nearly happened 2000 years ago, someone or something is trying to steal our joy.

    A favorite bed time story at this time of year is the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, by Dr. Seuss. It begins . . . Every Who Down in Who-ville Liked Christmas a lot... But the Grinch, Who lived just north of Who-ville, Did NOT! The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, ...read more

    God's Indescribable Gift !

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 22, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,861 views

    Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! Jesus is the most generous gift the world will ever know. With hearts full of joy, we are called to give generously, joyfully and hilariously to the work of God!

    This section of Paul’s letter ends with powerful words of praise. They could almost be the title of a worship song because they are powerful words of praise, thanksgiving and truth: “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” (9:15) 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 focus upon generosity in giving.

    The Art Of Body Building Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on May 1, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,029 views

    The gifts of the Spirit are given for the common good not for our personal advancement. Paul shows us how the body of Christ is quite a literal expression.

    THE ART OF BODY BUILDING Jesus is not here…in the flesh. His body is not here but his Spirit is here. We read in John 16 that Jesus had to go away; he had to return to his Father in heaven, so that his Spirit could come, so that his very person, the essence of his being could be with every ...read more

    Over the last two months we have been looking at the different cults and sects of the world today. Now it is important that we make sure our views are solid that we may be better prepared to share the gospel message.

    Christianity (Part 1) “The One and Only True Religion” Intro In the past two months we have looked at a few of the cults and sects that are currently operating in the world today.

    Reasons for why some people miss the opportunity.

    Possible Reasons for Missing the Opportunity I was too impressed in letting people know what it is to miss the opportunity and therefore as a continuation of the previous sermon I want to take up on this issue of the possible reasons. To explain this I have taken the parable of Jesus in the book ...read more
