    When reason fails, some turn to ridicule. They choose laughter over logic. Should the Christian respond? If so, how? Link inc. to formatted text, audio/video, PowerPoint.

    Our primary duty as Christians is to persevere diligently in the faith, despite mixed motivations, temptations to procrastinate, to fail to prioritize, or to wisely interpret daily invents in terms of the permanent rather than the temporary.

    Wise and Foolish Virgins/Christians In Wisdom 6: 12-16 it tells us that wisdom is of such great importance,it ultimately determines our destiny.And we know that the beginning of wisdom is fear of, or obedience to and respect for the Lord God.

    Menno Simons was a contemporary with Martin Luther, who seems to have taken all the credit for the reformation. But where Martin Luther failed in his reformation, Menno Simons didn’t.

    Menno Simons Today (31st October) is reformation day, and so my focus will be on the reformer, Menno Simons.

    The church at Corinth was one of the most gifted churches in the New Testament. Due to her misunderstanding of and misuse of those gifts, she was failing miserably in accomplishing the task God had given to her.

    Members of One Body -Understanding Our Spiritual Gifts 1 Corinthians 12:1-13 The city of Corinth was a beehive of activity. It was a major city in the Roman Empire that had not one, but two major ports. Corinth was built on a land bridge between two separate seas and as a result became an ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,955 views

    To qualify as worship, our corporate religious activities must include sound preaching. To fail to include this vital aspect of worship is to condemn our congregations to an insipid presence in the midst of a hostile world.

    “I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.

    The disciples were bold in their witness to what Jesus Christ had done. Attempts by the authorities to silence them failed. God had called them to be his witnesses and they could not keep silent.

    Acts 5:27-32 “Unable to be Silenced” INTRODUCTION There are times that the courage of others amazes us. Recently I viewed the movie, “The Hurt Locker.” It is a story about the war in Iraq. I was amazed and humbled by the courage of the soldiers who were portrayed in ...read more

    Dead Mules Don't Work

    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,556 views

    Too many Christians settle for being forgiven and fail to recognize that dead sinners do not disobey God. We can live in obedience because we are alive to God and dead to sin.

    My purpose is to be the Holy Spirit’s second witness calling God’s people in my care to surrender their lives to Jesus and to live in obedience to him. Response Goal: Individuals prompted by the Holy Spirit will surrender their lives to God in prayer – at the altar rail if they want to prayer ...read more

    We all made promises to God. I will do this or that. We have boasted and bragged and let the Lord down. Jesus is forgiving to our failings and restores us to the work of the church.

    WHEN GOD RESTORES THE BROKEN HEART The highly watched television show “Lost” is presented in the same manner as the character Peter in the Gospel of John.

    A look at why Saul was rejected, but David was called a man after Gods own heart even though they both failed. It was because David, trusted God, was humble, and knew how to repent.

    Having a heart after God’s own. Acts 13:22 22After removing Saul, he made David their king. He testified concerning him: ’I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ Today I want to compare the lives of two men, Saul and David.

    God’s Word had been delivered to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for centuries. Jesus wept because the people of Jerusalem had failed to see and accept God’s truth.

    We know more about the life of Peter than any other disciple which means we can trace his growth as a disciple. In a three section sermon we will see how Jesus helps His impulsive disciple to persevere, even when they fail.

    Simon Peter – sifted, sustained, serving. I recently went to a Men’s Shed Ministry where they were interviewing different men. One man told the story of his life. Which went like this:- Married – divorced. Married – divorce Married – divorce Found God Married first wife The end result is so ...read more

    Grace can assist us in overcoming life’s problems by helping when all else fails. When we’re at the end of our rope, from struggling and trying everything humanly possible and exhausting our own resources, then grace steps in.

    Every time I became frustrated it was because I was trying to do something myself . . . instead of putting my faith in God and receiving His grace. - Joyce Meyer(1) In our message this morning we’re going to look at grace to overcome life’s daily challenges. Grace is simply defined as, “The ...read more
