    Are you too busy? What does God tell us about over commitment in Christian service?

    Last week we began a series of lessons on commitment, with the question: Where is your commitment? We ended that lesson looking at some of Jesus’s words from the sermon on the mount where Jesus tells us what to commit to and what not to commit to, what not to worry about and what to seek ...read more

    No one can break the power of Satan in their lives without the power of Jesus. He is the only one that can overcome the darkness to bring seeking men into the light.

    Someone Stronger Prairie Baptist Church – 11/15/09 A.M. Service Text: Mark 5:1-20 Key verse: Mark 5:19 - However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” Premise: No ...read more

    Kids: They're Young; Not Stupid

    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,333 views

    Compelling look at the story of Jesus in the Temple from an innovative perspective (with scholarly support). A message for the whole church; not just parents. Good illustrations.

    Just before Jesus stepped into the spotlight, God raised up John the Baptist “to turn the hearts of the parents toward their children, and the disobedient toward the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” (Luke 1:17 NRSV) What does it look like when parents turn ...read more

    Why Announce Christ’s Birth To Nobodies? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 3, 2011
     | 4,751 views

    We would announce the birth of the Christ to the rich and famous. But God chose to announce His birth to people working in the most humble occupation imaginable. Why?

    “In the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good ...read more

    Baggage

     | 16,605 views

    The first message as the full-time speaker at a church where I had previously been filling in, preached the first Sunday after a move. Autobiographical, allegorical, and life-applicable.

    Hebrews 12:1-3 – Baggage Let me tell you something right from the start: we hate moving. I know we only moved less than 10 minutes away, but that didn’t make things radically different from moving away. Sure, we used several pick-up trucks instead of a U-Haul, and we made several ...read more

    As we run the race the journey will be one where we face many faith-testing situations. In that journey we can endure and “finish well” because our Saviour gives us all we need to fight the good fight, finish the race and keep the faith.

    Message 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Finish Well I want to start by talking about epitaphs. An epitaph is the words which are written on a tombstone and they act as a way of remembering a deceased person’s life. One day a man and his brother were walking through a cemetery in the country which contained old ...read more

    A passage of teaching at the Fiji Officers councils 2021. This led to a discussion about what is the good oil that fuels our ministry and keeps us intentional.

    Being intentional: The parable of the ten virgins. Matthew 25:1-13 At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with ...read more

    Hearing the voice of the Lord

    The word time is a word that is often taken for granted. We are all guilty of often wasting time. We are all guilty of not using our time wisely. In fact the old cliché says that, “Time waits on no man.” The American Heritage College Dictionary defines time as a nonspatial continuum in which ...read more

    I love reading of the heroes of faith that walked with God and He did amazing things through them. Enoch walked with God and we can learn to walk with him also.

    Walking with God Prayer- Good morning I have to tell you I am ready to hear from the Lord! Amen? I come to every service with this attitude… what do you want to say to me today Lord. I come with an expectation that He will speak to us. I believe it is His desire to speak and is not unusual for ...read more

    We have looked at how we are all affected by the trials and temptations of life. Now we look at preparing ourselves to be able to withstand those tribulations.

    For the past few Sundays we have admitted that we all have trials and tribulations and temptations in our lives. We have seen how the trials strengthen us and make us more like Jesus. But James doesn’t just give explanations and facts about all these mishaps in our lives, he ends chapter one with ...read more

    Every believer is in a race. We may not be aware of it yet, or perhaps the race hasn’t been revealed by God. It is our personal responsibility to discover, discern, and develop it.

    FIND YOUR RACE AND RUN IT "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it." 1 Corinthians 9:24. Every believer is in a race. We may not be aware of it yet, or perhaps the race hasn’t been revealed by God. ...read more
