     | 278 views

    We are all sinners, and with that brings conviction by the Holy Spirit and the guilt that sin brings. The way to be set free from both the sin and the guilt is believing and receiving Jesus as your Savior.

    GUILTY CONSCIOUS Text: Acts 24:22-27 Introduction 1. Oswald Chambers said, "Conviction of sin is one of the rarest things that ever strikes a man. It is the threshold of an understanding of God. Jesus Christ said that when the Holy Spirit came, He would convict of sin, and when the Holy ...read more

    Palm Sunday: To Worship Jesus As He Really Is

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 4, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,007 views

    On Palm Sunday Jesus received a warrior’s welcome into Jerusalem, but Jesus was not that kind of Messiah. Do we worship Jesus as He really is, or as we want him to be?

    Do we worship Jesus as he really is? Or do we worship Jesus as we want him to be? It’s a simple multiple choice question – A or B! Do you want to go 50/50? I’m not going to ask for a show of hands. I wonder what mode of transport you would select for a King. A donkey wouldn’t be top of my list, ...read more

    In order to feel fully at home in the church, we begin with praying for one another, we learn both to receive and to give to one another, and we abandon top-down thinking.

    Isn’t it astounding, the power of the group? Isn’t it amazing that an otherwise normal, there, healthy, together person can be in a group and feel so wrong? Have you ever been in a group that was sending out such negative vibes that you just wanted to get out of there? Somehow you even felt ashamed ...read more

    In this message, part 14 in the series Love Never Dies, Dave sees in Peter's resistance to Christ washing his feet a resistance that we all have to receiving grace and love.

    Resisting Grace Love Never Dies, prt. 14 Wildwind Community Church David Flowers July 11, 2010 The longer I do counseling and the more I come to learn about people, the more I believe that what is most deeply wrong with us as human beings is that we chronically resist grace.

    Today, by turning from sin to God through faith in Jesus Christ, anyone can have a new heart. Salvation is not turning over a new leaf, but receiving a new life.

In every case, the message was similar: “This product is defective or dangerous and could cause serious injury or even death. Return it to us and we ...read more

     | 4,888 views

    Good Friday was a necessary part of the Easter journey. The sermon shares a Leonard Sweet story about bell-ringing. (Each person who came to worship received a bell as they entered.)

    They thought it was over. Jesus was dead and buried. The religious folks sighed with satisfaction. His followers wept in grief. But they were wrong! They were all wrong! From this side of Easter, we can call Friday “Good” because we know that it was not over, all had not been ...read more
