    In Luke 14, Jesus portrays the Kingdom of God as a grand feast. This sermon explores who is invited to this table and the extent of its inclusivity.

    Bold Hospitality Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on May 27, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,047 views

    In our series on Stewardship we focused on many issues, one of them being hospitality and its role in the life of the church. God is a hospitable God and in our imitation of him it makes logical sense to include hospitality in our personal ministries.

    BOLD HOSPITALITY As we conclude our series on Stewardship we want to look at one final aspect of managing the good gifts God has given to us. Hospitality is an important part of ministering to others with what we have. If you watch Corner Gas, Canada’s only homegrown successful sit-com, you ...read more

    This sermon focuses on how we can prepare ourselves to face life’s various challenges and transform them into opportunities for spiritual growth.

    The Spirit Of Murder Series

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 3, 2021
     | 2,293 views

    Jesus said that He did not come to abolish the law or the prophets. What did He mean? What did He mean by the spirit of murder? Let's look at that topic in the Sermon on the Mount.

    Jesus said that He did not come to abolish the law or the prophets. What did He mean? These were the two main divisions of the Hebrew Scriptures. So then, the Old Testament will not be abolished, but fulfilled. What does fulfill mean. It can’t mean abolish, because Jesus said that He did not come ...read more

    A challenge to professing Christians who claim allegiance to Christ as Master of life, though they do not reveal His reign over their lives.

    “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?” All else being equal, we have as much power in our service before the Lord as we have obedience to His commands.
