    Although the methods to express brotherly love and warmth are often best seen by observing others, the nuts and bolts of creating a warm church family are described for us here in Romans 12. If we are going to aim to be a warm church, we need to get a pi

    God disciplines us when we turn aside from His will: either we get swallowed up in addictive behavior, churchianity, busy-ness, and controversy; or God spews us out as ill-equipped, unreceptive, divisive. Confess our distress, admit our limitations, and

    What parent does not dread this awful experience? In your care is a small child. You turn your back for just an instant –to answer the phone, to get a drink of water – and when you come back to that child, she is coughing and choking, clutching at her throat. Those curious eyes saw something ...read more

    based on 22 ratings
     | 10,313 views

    Hope is central to Christianity. Hope leads us to God and hope sustains us in Christ. The outbreak of war, disease, financial and emotional distress, has filled the air with despair, but God wants His people to hope in Him.

    Too many times, we as believers are backing up when God has said......"Go Forward"

    Backing Up Or Going Forward ? Exodus 14:8-13, Phil 3:13-14 Illust. The Joke was on me. Are we backing up or going forward as a church ? How about in your own spiritual life ? Do you ever feel like you take 2 steps forward, and 3 steps back ? This morning I ...read more

    Many Christians level off at some point in their walk with God. I believe we must always be striving to be more like our Lord. Therefore, we must move up! The scripture calls it going from "glory to glory" I call it mving up from "level to level."

    It’s Time to Go Up! Pastor Jamie Wright * Maranatha Fellowship Church * 07-20-03 2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” Numbers 13:30 “And Caleb ...read more

    As we look at the events in the Garden of Gethsemane on the eve of Christ’s crucifixion, I ask "Is the twenty-first century Church asleep?" A sermon to stir the church to pray.

    ’WAKE UP, O SLEEPER!’ INTRO: I want to begin this morning with a quote: "At a certain meeting of ministers and church officers, one after another doubted the value of prayer meetings; all confessed that they had a very small attendance, and several acknowledged without the slightest compunction ...read more

    We have a choice: we can either learn from the real Jesus of Scripture, or the Jesus we’d prefer to believe in.

    What Burns You Up? (John 2:13-22) Introduction 1. Imagine attending a church service in 50A.D.. The small congregation of Jewish believers has opened up the meeting for sharing, and one a man about 60 stands up to share…. 2.

    The text we read, was spoken by Malachi to Israel, a defeated nation. Malachi was God’s last mouthpiece to Israel before the four hundred years of God’s silence to his people.

    A sermon that looks at the temptation of Jesus and encourages people to see the importance of God’s agenda in their lives.

    Someone once said Have you ever wondered why opportunity knocks once – yet temptation bangs on the door constantly? Do you find this true? Supermarkets are aware that we are easily tempted.

    16% of Americans think of God as being critical and uncaring. Another 25% believe Him to be distant and unwilling to intercede in human affairs. But how does this contrast with the message of Isaiah?

    In November of 1988 a 19 yr old woman fell asleep behind the wheel of her car at about 2:15 in the morning. Her car plunged thru a guardrail and was dangling by its left rear tire. A half dozen passing motorists stopped, grabbed some ropes from one of their vehicles tied the ropes to the back ...read more

    In the vision Isaiah received of the Lord upon his throne there is a model of how we can approach God and what the results could be.

    TAKING UP THE ISAIAH PARADIGM Towering like a majestic peak above the other great moments in Isaiah is this passage in Isaiah 6:1-13. It was this event that formalized Isaiah’s understanding of God and his mission. If this passage were missing from the book the impact of its message would be ...read more
