    Contributed by Charles Wallis on Apr 3, 2008
     | 4,527 views

    Though the Church is not perfect, we still need the Church, even with its weak parts. This sermon is part of a series on Nehemiah in which the people make a renewed commitment to God. In particular, they make a commitment to the House of God.

Have you noticed a lot of TV is about rich, pretty, “perfect” people? But that is not reality – The Hills are a delusion! We all have weaknesses and ...read more

    based on 85 ratings
     | 18,493 views

    I talk about how the Spirit of God wants to move in power in our personal lives and in our church. I discuss why we need God’s power at work and what happens when it is unleashed.

    Intro: There is a great fascination with the supernatural in our day. Go to a bookstore, visit a movie theater, watch cable television: we are bombarded with images of the supernatural. The most popular movie right now is Harry Potter. A popular day time show is called "Crossing Over" with John ...read more

    Healing our spiritual blindess is learning what can cause it.

    The blind man Christ couldn’t heal Of all my senses I imagine my sight would be the worst to lose. Much of our learning comes from the positive example of others.

    This is about authentic worship.

    As I mentioned last week, worship is a broad term. It is often misunderstood. I want to come back to Rick Warren’s definition given in his book, The Purpose Driven Life, “Anything you do that brings pleasure to God is an act of worship.” That’s a boiled down definition of worship.

     | 8,095 views

    I have often said the greatest gift God has given to us (second only to Jesus) is the Church. There are so many benefits to being not only a part of the body of Christ on the earth, but a part of a local body of believers.
