    Herod - The King Who Couldn't Kill Jesus Series

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Apr 1, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 14,422 views

    Lent 6 Mid-week: Herod’s treachery, brutality and paranoia showed itself in the taking of many lives. This kind of evil drives some very difficult questions. These find their answer in Jesus, whose love, suffering and sacrifice gave live to many.

    During the mid-week Lenten worship services, we’ve spent our time considering the earthly kings who served as leaders of Israel. It’s been a pretty motley crew – hasn’t it? Life at the top of the food chain during the history of God’s people has not been much different from what we find at the ...read more

    Universal Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,900 views

    We are called to universal prayer because God desires that "all men" be saved. This is the purpose behind the doctrine of election. There is only one God, one Mediator, one sacrifice. The church's mission is to make a universal declaration of this truth.

    UNIVERSAL PRAYER. 1 Timothy 2:1-7. CONTEXT. The faithful saying that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners is worthy of all acceptation - or ‘worthy to be accepted by ALL’ - (1 Timothy 1:15). “Therefore” - as a priority - Paul exhorts Timothy that “supplications, prayers, ...read more

    Will those who come after us find us faithful? We gain courage and resolution by remembering the lives and sacrifices of those who came before us. We must remember the fallen, resolve to be found faithful, and reflect on the finisher of our faith.

    WILL THEY FIND US FAITHFUL? Hebrews 11:1-12:4 (Bible quotes are from NKJV) INTRODUCTION As I was preparing the sermon for this Memorial Day weekend service, I decided to do a little research regarding this particular holiday.

    How does true love operate? Does it leave people with their demons, unhealed and hurting themselves? Does true love sacrifice even for people who initially reject it? Let’s find out by looking at Luke 13:31-35.

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,877 views

    The tabernacle, the temple, the sacrifices and worship in the Old Testament were all pointers to the coming of the Saviour, who would dwell among men. See how beautifully this plan of God unfolded so mankind could be saved from their sins, and have life eternal.

    We read in John 1:14, And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of an only begotten from the Father, full of grace and of truth. (LITV) The above mentioned verse expounds how the Word became flesh, and made his dwelling or tabernacle among us. If we ...read more

     | 3,043 views

    Commonly you may think of Praise and Worship, but real quick: Praise is lifting our voices, Worship is a lifestyle! Worship is presenting your body as a living and holy sacrifice: its living your life in accordance to the Word of God, so that it is pleasing to God.

    The Altar of Worship Intro: So we have been talking about what it means to Come to the Altar. We have learned that the altar, as found in the OT is no more. The Word means: a place to approach, acknowledge, and respect God. Since we have the HS inside of us, we can approach God anywhere. Last ...read more

    Our psalm today describes King David and his successors as priest-kings in the order of Melchizedek. David, like Melchizedek, functioned during his reign as King of Jerusalem, but there were times he presided at sacrifices, before his son built the Temple.
