    Becoming Debt Free Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,245 views

    One of the disciplines critical for us to practice in order to live debt free is to look beyond the immediate. You have to stay focused on God’s promised future. Debt is always about the immediate; it’s always seeking relief or immediate gratification

    Debt Free II Kings 4:2-7 Have you ever made a purchase and then felt bad or depressed afterwards? Have you ever bought anything that you ended up never using?

     | 6,578 views

    When it comes to prayer, a broken mirror limits our view of, and experience of Christ – and keeps us from becoming like him – which has tragic and far-reaching consequences.

    Room With A View: Broken But Blessed Today, we continue our series . . . Room With A View, Perspectives on Prayer. Last week we talked about the distractions that can keep us from getting into the room. They keep us from experiencing the very presence of God. Our theme passage comes from a ...read more

    We need to practive slowing (solitude) to spend quiet time with God in order to draw closer to him and allow him to transform us.

    Hurry has actually become a sickness, a disease for us in the U.S…which is ironic with all these “time savers” we have. “Time magazine noted that back in the 1960s, expert testimony was given to a subcommittee of the Senate on time management.

     | 4,744 views

    This morning we are going to look at 17 verses that end the book of Luke, and from those verses, we will glean the difference that the Resurrection made in the lives of the disciples then, and can make in the lives of disciples now.

    The Uptake On The Resurrection Luke 24:36-53 It’s Resurrection Sunday, and as is typical, we, as Christians, enter into worship with an upbeat spirit. Why is that? Because we know that the uptake on Christianity is found in the Resurrection, we’ve heard the end of the story. However, last month, ...read more

    Love is a great thing isn’t it? After all it is St Valentine’s Day. And even if it is the object of American cultural imperialism, even if it is taken over by advertising and media hype, love is what makes the world go ’round. What’s more, it’s at the core, the centre ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,178 views

    In life there are so many different forces pulling on us. We are pulled one way by fear, and another by self-righteousness. But thank God that the Cross is always at the center, and nothing is more powerful than the pull of God’s mercy and grace.

    Mark 10:17-22; Mark 10:23-31 This week we are going to be looking at our Gospel lesson.

     | 20,721 views

    The Jews were concerned more about building their own houses rather than building God's house. Consequently, God gives this message to His prophet to rebuke His people. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    Introduction (Secure Attention): Have you ever thought along these lines, “I am going to serve the Lord after I grow old.” “I want to work for God but I’m too busy.” “I want to serve God but I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to do anything at all for the Lord.” If you had any thoughts like that, ...read more
