INTRODUCTION Have you ever pondered over something that was a bit enigmatic but you were not able to solve it? Perhaps it was not for you to solve, only to know a few small threads of it.

    Jesus said, if you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing. Imagine living so close to Jesus that even your prayers become prophetic utterances because they are given in His name and will!

    In looking into the reality of spiritual authenticity of worship, walk, and witness, this sermon looks into the first part of worship "is not".

    Worship IS NOT! When speaking of the relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans of this time we must understand that there was a hatred and bitterness greater than any that we could probably imagine. The closest example I can think of to relate Jews and Samaritans may be that of segregation ...read more

    Some­thing hap­pened to me, which was known only to my­self, and which caused me the most se­vere men­tal suf­fer­ing. The hymn was the fruit of that suf­fer­ing. It was the quick­est bit of work I ever did in my life. I had the im­press­ion of hav­ing it

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 9, 2000
    based on 146 ratings
     | 16,806 views

    Sometimes Jesus gives us answers we don’t want to hear...sometimes He answers the questions we should have asked.

    I want you to consider John the Baptist.

    We all want our churches to grow but have we actually considered the cost?

    Well it’s been a year. Hardly seems possible in some ways and yet on the other hand it seems like we’ve been here forever.
