    Cross

    BEAR THE CROSS TO WEAR THE CROWN (MATTHEW 16:21-28) Being a disciple of Christ is quite costly in many parts of Asia and Africa even though it is quite a tame or mild affair in the Western world. In Iran, 32-years old pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, leader of a network of Iranian house churches, was ...read more

     | 8,183 views

    A look at giving of your knowledge, your time, and your money for the common good. The message discussed our need to use what we have been given to lift up the Body of Christ. The need to use the gift we have been given in accordance with our faith.

    It is better to give than to receive. That is what Paul quoted Jesus as saying. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Today we will conclude our series on giving by talking about HOW we give. Last week, you’ll remember, that we said if you are in Christ Jesus, the question was not ...read more

    What it Means To Be A Real Disciple

    ARE YOU A DISCIPLE OR A DISAPPOINTMENT? LUKE 14:25-27 1. INTRO.

    Don’t You Love A Good Storm? 1) It destroys our sense of self-importance. 2) It heightens our sense of God’s providence.

    Lord of the winds! I feel thee nigh, I know thy breath in the burning sky! And I wait, with a thrill in every vein, For the coming of the hurricane! William Cullen Bryant (1854) Do you get as excited about storms as the poet Bryant did? I don’t think little children especially enjoy storms. ...read more

    A funeral sermon in which we learn about the person something of her relationship to herself, to others, and to God.

    Jutta was one of those people that make a preacher’s job easier – or really, the job of anyone who speaks in public. I came to know Jutta at the vespers service held each Thursday evening at the Manor. She always sat close to the front – on the second row, in fact – ...read more

    One of the most difficult things for people in the 21st Century to do or so it seems is to have an accurate view of themselves. This question, asked by a demon, brings us face to face with reality.

    Who Are You Acts 19:11-20 • There is an old story that I’ve heard, read, and told many times. It’s about a fellow named Bill who was always bragging about who he knew and how he was friends with many popular and powerful people. He said to his boss one day, "You name anyone you ...read more

    When we have this attitude that says I'm better than you because I am right, that's when self-righteousness takes effect in our lives.

    The first thing I'd like to do today as we look at this passage is I'd like to talk to you about the footnote in your Bible. I hope you have a footnote. Look at it. Do you see the footnote in this passage that we're looking at today? The footnote says this: “These verses (which is John ...read more

    Though the Lord had led them out of perilous situations, and taken care of all their needs, the Israelites were still hesitant to trust in the Lord wholeheartedly. While Moses kept the promise of God at the forefront the people kept themselves ahead of everything else.

    For today’s meditation we will read Deuteronomy 1:21, “See, the LORD your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not fear or be dismayed.'” (ESV) These were the words of Moses to the people of Israel. When the Lord ...read more

    In the spiritual battlefield, God views each believer as His weapon. If you have been reborn in faith, you are God's instrument in this war. Understanding this role is crucial for every believer.

    When a warrior prepares for war, he carefully considers his weapons of warfare. In the same way, God is a warrior, and as a believer, you are His chosen weapon of warfare. If you have been born again, you are God's battle axe. Scripture Passage: Jeremiah 51:20-23 (NIV) "You are my war club, my ...read more
