    The Dynamite Of The Cross

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 14, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 14,704 views

    The dynamite (power) of the cross is displayed in the reaction of the centurion at Calvary’s cross. This is displayed through the righteousness and royalty of Christ, the response of heaven and the witness of the centurion’s own heart.

    The Bible does not give us many facts about activities of the centurions. In fact, centurions are referred to only four times in the Bible. Matthew 8 records the story where the centurion asked for his servant to be healed. “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the ...read more

    It Isn't Fair Lord

    Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Jan 3, 2008
     | 1,677 views

    A meditation in 2 parts - a Christian complaining about how awful Christmas has become, & God’s response. I included the Christmas story from Luke in the service.

    A CHRISTIAN AT PRAYER Lord it just isn’t fair the way they treat us at Christmas time. We’d worked hard to put on the specials this year. Harder than ever perhaps. Did they come – did they heckers like. And the crowds down in town this year seemed bigger too Lord. From the moment they switched ...read more

    1. The Generous Employer Series

    Contributed by Don Jaques on Feb 13, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,761 views

    The way into the Kingdom is by response to an invitation to come – not by justice (working for your wages). All people, regardless of background, can respond to God’s invitation and be rewarded with eternal life.

    In a rather shocking story that Jesus told to a crowd of people, he shared with them that the ways of God’s relating to people are actually quite a bit different from our rules of fairness, justice, and good economic principles. Listen now as I’ll tell you a story like Jesus told it – it comes ...read more

    The Holy Spirit gives us everything we need in order to serve God and God’s creation. But, it is our responsibility to use those gifts for the glory of God.

    No Pet Rock 5-27-07 Acts 2:1-21 As a society, we Americans are often sucked in by fads—some item or some activity that seems to capture all of our attention for a short time but, when the luster and excitement wear off, we forget about them and then we move on to the next fad.

    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,661 views

    When the direction of God is clear we have a choice do we follow in obedience or simply ignore the call. This message examines the people’s response to the message of Haggai.

    Active Obedience Time to Rebuild – Part II Haggai 1:12-15 Haggai 1:12 (NLT) Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Jeshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant of God’s people obeyed the message from the Lord their God.

Whether you realise it or not, and whether you believe or not, you are all here for a reason this morning! It’s just possible that some of you may be thinking, “What am I doing? ...read more

    Limiting God Series

    Contributed by Ben Thomas on Nov 7, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,137 views

    God is not limited, but we can limit God in our life. Our response to the voice of God become a limitation for God to fulfill the perfect plan about our life.

    You can limit God. 2 Kings 13:14-21 (AMP) 14 Now Elisha [previously] had become ill of the illness of which he died. And Jehoash king of Israel came down to him and wept over him and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel and the horsemen of it! 15 And Elisha said to him, Take bow ...read more

     | 197 views

    In today’s world, familiarity with spiritual activities and religious practices can easily lead to a loss of reverence. Many have become casual in the way they handle sacred things — from the Word of God, to the sacraments, to spiritual offices and responsibilities.

    Are We Real Christians Or Just Pretending To Be Christians?

    Contributed by David Leach on Jan 13, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,909 views

    Unfortunately the vast majority of those who profess Christianity are not in fact Christians but remain spiritually dead in their sins because they have not met Jesus’ one requirement to even see the Kingdom of Heaven, that is, they must be born again spiritually.

    Are we real Christians or just pretending to be Christians? Jer 3:10 …Judah (My own people) has not turned to Me with her whole heart, but in pretense, says the LORD. Sometimes we hear that there are living today about two billion people who are Christians. Unfortunately the vast majority ...read more
