    The Transfiguration

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Mar 6, 2011
    based on 14 ratings
     | 18,781 views

    The transfiguration answers the question: "Who is Jesus?" It also helps us to see that the Kingdom of Heaven is not out there for when we die, but right here, right now for when we live.

    I remember a time when I had misplaced my good pen and I was looking for it everywhere. I looked in drawers. I looked under things, behind things and in things. I looked on the floor, but it was nowhere. And then I found it. I was holding it in my mouth the whole time. That is the way that ...read more

    God's Ministry Gifts To The Church Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 19, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,883 views

    The five fold ministry gifts are gifted to the church and do not equate to maturity. We need to fully understand that when anybody who has been called to be an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor or teacher, declares a "revelation truth", it is simply th

    Opening illustration: There once was a carpenter who visited one of two brothers who had recently grown embittered with each other over a misunderstanding over the farm they had managed together for the past 40 years.

    Firstfruits

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,367 views

    In our text Paul calls the resurrection a "firstfruits" event. What does he mean? Consider these two opposite (but connected) realities, the fallenness of man and the firstfruits of God; the first is our condition – the second, God’s response to our nee

    If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as ...read more

     | 13,992 views

    This message uses the story of the woman taken in adultery to teach us that: (1) whether accuser or accused, we are all sinners, and that (2) all of us can find forgiveness in the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

    2Early in the morning He came again to the temple. All the people came to Him and He sat down and began to teach them. 3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery; and making her stand before all of them, 4they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught ...read more

    based on 61 ratings
     | 111,318 views

    Jesus was the Creator of the universe and the only begotten Son of God, but He was also a thankful person. When He walked this earth, He expressed words of thanksgiving to His Father. When did Jesus say thank you?

    WHEN JESUS SAID "THANK YOU" Matthew 15:35-37a, John 11:39, Luke 22:14-20 Two men were walking through a field one day when they spotted an ENRAGED BULL. Instantly they darted toward the nearest fence. The storming bull followed in hot pursuit, and it was soon apparent they wouldn't make it. ...read more

    Having a grateful heart opens the doorway to greater blessings from God.

    God is so good, He loves to bestow His gifts upon His children. The Bible tells us that all good gifts come from God. If it’s good, then it’s from God. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or ...read more

    The object of faith will determine whether we experience God. Do we put our faith in the bank account or in the creator of wealth?

    According to our passage for tonight, John says that this healing of the nobleman's son was the second sign of Jesus. It was further testimony to the fact that Jesus was the Son of God. It is quite obvious that Jesus is the star of the story. But, I want you to look with me tonight... not at the ...read more

    What King Is Announced By A Star? Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 4, 2021
     | 2,654 views

    Stars cause us to wonder. What was the star that appeared when Jesus was born? Was it a comet from a remote part of the solar system which happened to arrive at just the right time? Or was the universe itself acknowledging the coming of its creator and king?

    Last Sunday we started our Christmas series of talks. I’ve given the series the title ‘NOT YOUR USUAL KING’. There are lots of ways in which Jesus is NOT your usual king. Last week we looked at some prophecies in the Old Testament that gave us the when, where and who of Jesus’ birth. No king ...read more

    What we will see in this chapter is a clear picture of ruler's denying the Lord and trampling people underfoot, both believers and unbelievers.

    Tonight we enter into chapter 8 in the book of Daniel. At this point in history, Israel had lost everything and were exiled into Babylon. God knew that His people needed some kind of encouragement. So, from this point on, chapters 8 through 12, the Scripture was originally written in Hebrew. ...read more
