     | 6,195 views

    We are always looking for the easy way to do everything.

    Matthew 4: 1 – 11 / The Easy Way Intro: The portly, gray-haired gentleman approached the lovely young woman as she sat on a bench in the mall drinking her coffee. He had noticed the beautiful diamond wedding ring on her left hand as he sat down next to her. He said, “Young lady, I ...read more

    What is it we ask God for; is it out of selfish motives or out of what God wants?

    I wonder what motivates us as individuals and as a congregation? I remember doing a Kiwi Host course about twenty years ago and I found out that eight percent of the population wake up every morning motivated by the one thought on their minds and that thought is “whose life can I make ...read more

     | 4,825 views

    We need to be very careful when we start to speak evil of another! Our speech will reveal a lot about us.

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • As we have been embarking on our journey through James, we have seen a lot of stuff that the church was dealing with. • As we have examined the various subjects, it seems clear that over time not a lot has changes. • People will always have things ...read more

     | 9,526 views

    We have heard garbage in garbage out; well, God in us equals God coming out.

    What goes In Must Come Out On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." John 7:37-38 (NIV) What ...read more

    How do you react when you find yourself in the Valley of Sickness - most of us just feel sorry for ourselves, Paul shows us how to react...

    The Valley Of Sickness – 22nd February 2009 am John 11:1-15 Another of the greatest of valleys that a Christian goes through is that of sickness. Prolonged sickness or infirmity is a devastating valley because of its negative effect upon our spiritual walk with the Lord. There are many false ...read more

     | 10,033 views

    A shorter midweek message that might help other churches in dealing with some of the potential problems they must deal with in growing from a very small to a medium sized church in a short period of time.

    We all have choices in life. Some choices lead us into good times, while others will lead us into bad times. And considering that we are free to make whichever choice we want, we should be very careful and use much wisdom, because most choices, good or bad, have far reaching consequences that we ...read more

    Obadiah - The Pride Of Your Heart Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 24,446 views

    Don't let pride blinds you to the need of God and the needs of others. Be humble and faithful. We need God's grace and mercy. As we are led by God, let us do the will of God and be instruments of blessings for others.

    Obadiah reveals God’s stern words to Edom, a nation South of Judah. • The Edomites were the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob. Esau and Jacob are the twin sons of Isaac. • Remember, Jacob cheated his brother for the father’s blessing? The two brothers were in ...read more

    Babel

     | 6,333 views

    The sin of pride, self-glory, provoked the building of the tower, and the sin of distrust led these people away. God can take our confusion and replace it with clarity.

    (The actual title of the sermon is: ""Wir steigen hinab und vewirren ihre Sprache") When you scanned the bulletin this morning you may have been a bit confused about my sermon title…"What in the world is this about?" And you’d have some idea of how the world felt at Babel. "Wir ...read more

    Not women only, but all who are placed in the congregation of the Lord, are called to consider how to live so as to honour God.

    “As for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so ...read more

    Dumb Dogs Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 14, 2013
     | 8,093 views

    Jesus is not impressed with the outward trappings of self-righteousness. He is impressed with a heart full of simple faith, which we find most often in the hearts of those we least expect. So like Jesus feed the "dogs" and touch the "dumb."

    Dumb Dogs (Mark 7:24-37) I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. "If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring ...read more

    The Christian, and especially the elder of the church, is engaged in a lifelong campaign. He must prepare the next generation to enter into the conflict.

    “This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith, among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I ...read more

    Unless you “die” there will be no new life in you, or through you.

    Intro “Who ever said following Jesus was boring? (“Themes” of John 12): Jesus basically said, “Unless you die, there will be no new life in you, or through you.” Unless you die to self, then _____________.” Who will miss out, who will suffer, who will ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Count The Cost Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 30, 2013
     | 7,331 views

    A look at what it means to "count the cost" and why that's so essential. This message calls down the cheap gospel presentations that we so often make that have no mention in them of what it actually means to follow Jesus.

    CHEAP FAITH: Too often we offer salvation that’s straight from the discount bin. - Luke 14:28-32. - Our approach to evangelism is too often to present salvation as a low-cost, no-commitment offer. All you need to do is say you believe in Jesus! That’s it! There’s no mention of the need for ...read more

    Wake Up, Wake up! Is 51-52 July 8, 2012 Intro: I am not one of those people whose eyes pop open minutes before the alarm goes off, who dive out of bed with a smile eager to embrace the morning sunlight, who are ready to chat and laugh and have a productive breakfast meeting at 6:45am. Nope ...read more
