If there is any one of these factors that might hinder the continued growth of our ...read more

    God desires to direct His people through His Holy spirit living in us. In Philip you can see a person determined to follow the direction of God no matter where the direction would lead.

    Intro: We see in our passage today that God greatly desires to direct His church by way of the Holy Spirit. You might ask, how does God direct and guide through His Holy Spirit living in us? God speaks, guides and directs His people in so many different ways. Imagine the many different ways ...read more

    I would suggest that (today) modern man certainly knows how to look for, find and worship the false gods of this world without having to use a hammer or chisel.

    THE IDEAL GOD Text: Exodus 20:1 thru 6 There is a Bible story (found in the book of II Kings) that illustrates for us what can happen when the people of God look for (or try to create) THE IDEAL GOD.

    based on 28 ratings
     | 7,948 views

    Are you afraid to approach God? It could be that you should be - if you do not have Jesus - but perhaps you are afraid because you are coming to the wrong mountain - Mt Sinai instead of Mt Zion. Also learn about a city that cannot be shaken - ever.

    based on 61 ratings
     | 14,620 views

    Jesus prays for unity in the Church that is to come. Yet, His prayer indicates He knows we will struggle. As long as we keep our focus on God we will overcome our denominational differences and find our oneness in Christ.

    Ruth Bell once said, “If two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary” She went on to say, “If two people agree on everything, they double their chances of being wrong.” Now, Ruth Bell was not referring to the diversity of thought in the Christian church, she was instead talking ...read more
