    How Am I Doing?

    Contributed by Jim Twamley on Mar 25, 2003
    based on 148 ratings
     | 8,815 views

    Looks at 6 specific things that Paul prays and examines them one at a time. Now as we look at each one of these, I want you to be thinking, “How am I personally doing in each of these areas?”

    One of the main jobs of a pastor is to pray for his congregation. Acts 6:1-4 6:1 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve ...read more

    Every sailor knows that you can’t ride out a storm with an overburdened ship. You’ll take on excess water and sink. The same goes for us, when we carry useless burdens around and a storm comes up – we’ll be in danger of sinking.

    Many of you came in here today carrying a burden, a load of care. The good news is that you can lighten your load, you can even get rid of your load altogether. Relax, you’re in the Lord’s house now, and I’ve got a feel’en everything’s gonna be alright! Amen! Our sermon comes from the Book of ...read more

    A Crucified Will

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Mar 30, 2003
    based on 30 ratings
     | 4,507 views

    When it comes to dying to ourselves: 1. Jesus is our example. 2. Willfulness is our problem. 3. Crucifixion is the answer.

    In Luke 20:17-18 Jesus tells one of his most mysterious parables. He begins by quoting Psalm 118:22: “The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.” And then he says, “Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.” What a strange ...read more

     | 34,354 views

    Jesus didn’t ask everyone he met to follow him. He asked the original twelve disciples–and He invited the Rich Young Ruler to follow him. The young man refused. Like many people, he was fooling himself about what it takes to have eternal life.

    Can You Pass a Camel Through the Eye of a Needle? Luke 18:18-30 By Dr. David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION During this Christmas season, there are plenty of Scrooges out there. I heard about one lady who was fumbling in her purse to get her credit card to pay for a purchase. The cashier noticed she had a ...read more

    based on 49 ratings
     | 4,816 views

    God gave Peter position, power, passion, and perseverance. He wants to give us the same gifts.

    Strength, Wisdom, Strategy, Endurance, Focus, Courage, Toughness... These sound like the description of someone on the television show “Survivor.” But actually they pretty well describe a man we read about in the New Testament. Peter. God worked in Peter’s life in powerful ways. The great news is ...read more

    The Missionary Mandate To Love One Another!

    God used Peter to write these words to a church under pressure, persecuted by the local community. Whatever our circumstances, Jesus has issued us with a missionary mandate to love one another deeply ...

    This piece of scripture was written by the apostle Peter to a church which was under pressure. Opposition from the local community was high. Violence and persecution towards the church was quite normal. It is a long way from my experience, but the call of God for the church to be Good News is as ...read more

    Facing Our Obstacles by Gerald Van Horn The Victory Side of Life #1 of a series Joshua 1:2-9 A casual reading of Joshua might well be viewed as a military conquest.

    Covenant Of Reproduction

    based on 19 ratings
     | 3,923 views

    When God covenants with us, there has to be a mark, but where?

    · When God made this powerful covenant with Abraham, He demanded a physical sign of the covenant, a mark that set the person apart as a carrier of the covenant. · God could have asked for many different signs - he could have asked for a pierced ear, but it is not a covenant of idle words and no ...read more

    The Mirror Of Correction Series

    Contributed by Vera Hughes on Feb 20, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,857 views

    It is easy to correct others and give advice, but hard to correct ourselves.

    Self-correction – making the necessary corrections on the inside based on the Word of God. The greatest task the believer will ever have to do is to correct ourselves. Self correction makes us better witnesses for the Jesus Christ; enrich our lives in our home, church, fellowship with saints, and ...read more

     | 3,147 views

    So was the ’Lazarus’ we read of in Luke chapter 16 really a good man, and was his rich neighbour really a greedy, money-grabbing, tight-fisted, slave-driver? Don’t know, not...

    I had a guy at my door on Friday night who asked rather aggressively, “where do I go to get a meal around here?” I said back to him, equally aggressively, “where do you normally go for a meal?” He said, “I want a meal.” I said, “mate, it’s outside hours, I don’t know you, and I’m not giving you any ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,784 views

    Some people consider Jesus one of many options. But He challenged people either follow him or not. When it comes to relationships, dating, marriage, and decisions in life, God cannot be an option.

    ONE TRUE LOVE Is there such thing as one true love…I think there is! A boy came home from Sunday school and His Mother said, "What did you discuss at Church?" The boy said, "Marriage"! His Mother then asked, "What did you learn about marriage?" The little boy thought for a moment and said, ...read more
