    Sermon # 8 - The Blessing Of Selfless Giving Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 28, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,326 views

    We live in a world that prompts us to be self-centered and individualistic. What does God expect of us? This sermon will teach us about giving the way that is pleasing to God.

    We read in Acts 4:32, “Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.” (ESV) One of the key reasons for the tremendous growth of the early church was that the people ...read more

    Luke 23:1-25 - Jesus Before Pilate

    Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 10, 2024
     | 1,165 views

    The Jewish leaders bring Jesus before Pilate. Pilate is already in hot water with Rome and his desire for self-preservation fulfills God's ultimate plan.

    So we want to backtrack just a little bit into chapter 22 and pick up the last couple of verses because it's going to set the table for where we're going to be studying the last three trials that Jesus is going to go through on his way to the cross. Chapter 22 gave us the first three of ...read more

    An Interview To Change Life

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 9, 2000
    based on 170 ratings
     | 6,621 views

    Nicodemus was confused because his thinking was earth-bound but Jesus offered him eternal life through a spiritual rebirth if he would believe in Christ’s self-offering on the Cross.

    A LIFE CHANGING INTERVIEW The text, John 3:16 is a biblical classic: "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." It’s probably the most loved and quoted verse in Scripture. Rev Sandy Millar, Rector of Holy ...read more

    Jehovah Shalom - God Is Peace Series

     | 12,934 views

    Fear is a self-preservation instinct -- it's designed to protect us from something that may cause us real or imagined harm. But Jesus says in Matthew not to fear death, but to fear God. What's the difference?

    Jehovah Shalom - God of Peace Fear is a constant in our world. It’s so immersed in our culture that sometimes it’s actually considered a psychiatric issue, complete with fancy descriptive terms! I thought it may be interesting to read some of these to you tonight. Some seem normal, but ...read more

    Transfiguration Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Apr 11, 2023
     | 2,231 views

    Transfiguration of Jesus is a spiritual experience for the Disciples. We can't stay in ecstatic realms but come into reality of struggles and fight for the existence of self and others. Jesus always leads into every level of life.

    Lesson 13 Mark 9:2-13 Transfiguration in Mark INTRODUCTION The Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate it as a festival on August 6. It was declared a universal feast of the Western church by Pope Callistus III in 1457. The feast was included in the English Prayer Book in 1561 ...read more

     | 5,363 views

    The fundamental stance we have before God is critical to everything else in our lives, for personal idolatries, failed intimacies, and low self-esteem are all results of our not experiencing salvation.

    When I was young, and riding a bicycle, we didn’t wear helmets. Nobody had thought of such a thing. And even if they had, no government was telling us we had to wear helmets. I haven’t even worn so much as a hat since I reached the age of 13, much less a helmet. So when we spilled, we spilled, ...read more

    Jesus calls on us to deny our selves and take up our crosses and follow Him - just as He went to the cross. This sermon delves into that idea of denying the "self" a little more.

    March 12, 2006 Mark 8:31-38 31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and ...read more

    Purifying Fire (Zephaniah) Series

     | 836 views

    If you want to be clean in the face of God’s purifying judgment, genuinely seek the Lord, patiently wait for the Lord, and joyfully sing to the Lord.

    If you have a stainless-steel refrigerator, you know it’s very hard to keep clean. But what if you owned a stainless-steel car? That’s what worried Matt McClure even before he purchased his brand new $100,000 Tesla Cybertruck. He spent hours researching the internet for tips on keeping the ...read more

    Stop Pretending

    based on 26 ratings
     | 11,134 views

    Some people are looking for masks to be able to hide their inner sense of inadequacies. Others are looking for masks that can make them into the cultural image of someone great. Still others are looking for identities that will make themselves acceptable

    Stop Pretending ``We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.’’ (2 Cor. 10:5) Some people are looking for masks to be able to hide their inner sense of inadequacies. Others are ...read more

    Demands Of Discipleship Series

     | 11,047 views

    When it comes to winning the lost, God wants His house filled; but when it comes to discipleship, Christ thins out the ranks and wants only those who will die to self and live for Him.

    Jerusalem Lesson: Demands of Discipleship Luke 14:25-35 It is easy to be part of the crowd and follow a popular Jesus, but that is not true discipleship. He calls you away from the crowd to take up your cross and follow Him. When it comes to winning the lost, God wants His house filled; but when ...read more

    Many so-called Christians are now filled with all kinds of different ingredients that they are now something different, filled with a bunch of self-indulgent froth rather than solid Biblical substance.

    “Coffee House Christians” By Bishop M.L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- My wife likes the smell of coffee but she doesn’t like the taste of it. I like coffee I like it black no sugar and no cream. As a matter of fact I like coffee so much that I once developed a lump and had to have a ...read more

    If you want to impress God with your prayers, stop trusting yourself and start trusting the Lord. Reject any self-righteous pride and recognize your own sinful, spiritual poverty.
