    In Sermon 5A of the series, we look at wrong thinking as a reason for lost joy. It is amazing how much the Bible talks about proper thinking! In this first segment we consider what the Bible says can come from the human heart (reasoning, thinking).

    Most wars are fought for one of three reasons—or a combination of this reasons: territory, ideology, theology. The word “territory” doesn’t always mean land. The Pharisees had carved out a territory, which they intended to defend at all costs (John 11:45-53).

     | 1,408 views

    All the nations on earth desire to have peace, but as you know, all nations do not have peace. There is a reason for that. For example, many Americans discovered during the Iraq war that peace comes at a high price. This is difficult for many Americans to comprehend because of two reasons:

    (1) As Americans, we are used to watching Clint Eastwood ride into town on a horse, and in one hour clean up the meanest town in the west. We wonder why the United States military can’t do the same in one hour! (2) Americans see other nations are having wars on their streets, but we have never ...read more

    If someone asks me, "Why do you believe in God?" I don't necessarily say "I just have faith."

    If someone asks me, "Why do you believe in God?" I don't necessarily say "I just have faith." Many might say that. But for someone who asks that question, I need to know how to defend my faith. So my response is this: I think it's very reasonable to believe in God. ...read more

    How do we keep our hope alive, even after weeks, and months, and years of disappointment?

    This morning, we continue looking at the topic of "hope". Over the past two weeks, we’ve seen that a Christian hope isn’t just a wish or a desire, but a settled confidence in God and in His promises. Christian hope is a continuing reliance upon God’s wisdom, and love, and power. What distinguishes ...read more

    A Call For Justice

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 17, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,313 views

    Be careful what you ask for when you make a complaint to God. Sometimes God delays bringing justice to the world because the price is so high. Sometimes justice is brought about by unjust people. Be prepared to let God decide when's the right time to act.

    The cry for justice is a common occurrence in our world isn't it? Injustice takes place at all sorts of levels and we wonder, why does God allow it? It's like what we saw in Psalm 73 a few weeks ago. Why do the wicked prosper? Why do the powerful get away with taking advantage of the weak and ...read more
