    The Temptation To Wield Power Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
     | 7,402 views

    There are two types of power in the world - secular power wielded to serve the individual and God’s kingdom power - given to serve others.

    Jesus and his disciples are on their way to Jerusalem and when the moment is right, James & John take Jesus aside and ask him to grant them a favour. It’s a simple enough request. They want to sit on his right and left hand sides in glory. They’ve understood what he’s just told them about his ...read more

    Christmas is meant to be joy time, and in the stories of Christmas from the Biblical to the secular there is a theme of joy amidst surprises that runs through them.

    Finding Joy Amidst Life’s Surprises Luke 1:39-55 (New International Version) 39At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and ...read more

    This message unpacks Jesus teaching about how to live as his coming approaches and the church is challenged and persecuted by the secular and pagan culture.

    Christmas Significa Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 11, 2021
     | 2,873 views

    The real beauty and power of Christmas is how it is as mundane as it is holy, secular as it is sacred, temporal as it is eternal, physical as it is spiritual, worldly as it is heavenly … and this is by design.

    Today’s scripture reading reminds me of Christmas hymns like “Angles We Have Heard on High” in which the angels “sweetly sing o’er the plans” (UMH, verse 1; p.238) or “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” … “glory to the newborn King” (UMH, verse 1; p. 240). Songs like these beautifully capture the drama ...read more

    The valleys of life are not dead-end streets, because God provides a way for us to get through.

    Introduction: There is one thing that we all can be sure of God is always at work.

    When God Says Move

    Contributed by Kraig Pullam on Feb 17, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 43,959 views

    One of the hardest struggles is knowing what God is telling you to do, when God is saying to stay and when He instructs you to move foward. The life of Moses gives a clear example of navigating through this arduous dilemma of life.

    One of the hardest struggles is knowing what God is telling you to do/when God is saying to stay and when He is saying to move. Not knowing is this God, is this family pressure, yourself. Fasting and praying and still not hearing clearly from God while you are in the will and the way of ...read more
