    Jesus built HIS church out of flesh and blood. He took sinful, selfish and self centered people and created a church that would last forever. But how could He make a world changing church out of such useless material? Preached at Unity Service

They wanted refurbish and begin worship services there, but when they arrived at village where the church building was … it wasn’t there anymore. It had disappeared. It seems that some ...read more

    We’re either under the control of the Spirit or under the control of our fallen nature. When we surrender our lives to God, He transforms our priorities and gives us new purpose in life.

    What is the Church? Why is it so important to attend? Can God use me if I just stay home?

    Matthew 16:15-20 (KJV) He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my ...read more

    If every Christian is not fighting an active engagment with satan and with flesh/self...these individules are already DEAD!!! If we wish to remain spiritually alive and win the "prize" set before us, we must properly arm ourselves properly.

    As Christians, we realize....all too soon in our Christian walk, that the battle between us and the lusts of the flesh...between us and the world...between us and the allurement of satan.....these things are tremendously difficult! A. When we read passages indicating that we are truly ...read more

    In Ch.1 John established that we have fellowship with the Father through the Son, and we demonstrate the reality of that fellowship: to the world; and to our self (assurance) - by living a holy life. In ch.2 & 3 we enlarged on the idea of the assurance of

    Once More Through The Wringer

     | 5,752 views

    We can either trust in the Lord to give us the clean, fresh robes of righteousness, or we can put our selves through the wringer, in attempt to create our own self-righteousness and still be clothed in filthy rags.

    ONCE MORE THROUGH THE WRINGER I can still remember a little the old wringer type washing machine that my mother used to have when I was a child. I know, most of you would wonder how anyone could remember that far back. Wasn’t that before the days of radio? No, it wasn’t that far back, but it ...read more

    Are you redeemed? Are you living a redeemed life? To many of us are redeemed, however we are still bound to a old self. God has set us free. Let’s learn how to live truly redeemed lives!

    Jesus loves the song of the redeemed. The bible teaches us that the angels have a party when one soul is saved. Heaven has a victory party when one person becomes redeemed from their lost lifestyle! God redeemed the Israelites from the chains and bondage of Egypt. It wasn’t long afterwards that ...read more

    Liiving large in stressful times requires prayer. We are targets of a conspiracy of hate, but prayer makes us genuinely missionary. We are victims of self-centered religion, but prayer makes us compassionate. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    (Singing): “Sitting by the window praying, waiting for the break of day; sitting by the window praying, waiting to hear what the Lord might say.” (Repeat) The way to live large is not only to step out in faith, as Abraham did, leaving his comfort zone; and not only to get past old defeats, even ...read more

    The teachers of the law made three errors - they (1) Chose to stick with their self-centred agenda, blinded to that which is obvious; (2) Chose to remain uncommitted, preferring to sit on the fence and take a middle ground; and (3) Chose to believe m

    God did not leave us without any evidence that Jesus is indeed the Son of God. • The Gospels are full of recordings of His miraculous deeds and amazing claims. • In the face of evidence, man can still reject Him.

    What Is God Asking You To Sacrafice?

    Contributed by Scott Hamilton on Jan 18, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,657 views

    Launches off the sacrafices in the Old Testament and asks the question, "Does God ask us to make sacrafices today?". The answer is yes - pride, ego, selfishness, etc. We’re to sacrafice our whole self - Romans 12.

    What is God asking you to sacrifice? If you were a Hebrew living 3000 years ago God would ask you to sacrifice very specific things in a very specific manner. Open your Bibles to Leviticus Chapter one. While you’re making your way there I want to give away a secret – my marinade for barbequing ...read more

     | 9,543 views

    All Christians can find renewed hope in times of disappointment by 1)keeping an eternal focus, 2)cast your anxiety upon the Lord, 3)be self-controlled and resist the devil, and 4)offer a sacrifice of praise.

    If there is anything I’ve learned in my years working as a pastor it is that things don’t always go the way we think they should go. I’ve been witness to more tragic stories than I wish – and the truth is, life is hard. God has chosen to use people just like us to be his ambassadors on this ...read more

    Revelation 3__4-22 The Lukewarm Church

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,199 views

    Lack of zeal for the Gospel and Christian faith is a danger for those who are possessed of wealth and feel self-sufficient. Christ calls us from the cares of the world and deceitfulness of riches to restored spiritual vision, real safety and true wealth.

    Revelation 3__4-22 the Lukewarm Church "Blessed are the Lukewarm." Christians profess to follow religiously Jesus Christ. If that is so, then surely "Blessed are the Lukewarm" must have been one of his sayings for there are so many, many professing Christians who show no enthusiasm or service. ...read more
