    based on 28 ratings
     | 6,566 views

    When we encounter people on the street that obviously live there are we turned off by them? Are we turned off socially? Is our compassion turned off? Do we love these people? Or more importantly, does God love them?

    Does God Really Love These Things? Part 2 Does God Love Lost People? Sr. Pastor Taylor Free Methodist Church Let’s begin by answering the question, “Does God love lost people?” For God so loved the world that he gave one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal ...read more

     | 1,818 views

    Part 2... The definition that we are going to look at today is Definition 5 – The overthrow of a government or social system, with another taking its place. Whether or not we like to admit it, this is what is taking place today in the spiritual lives o

    (This message was inspired by George Barna and his book, Revolution. I also found Sermon Central contributor, J. Martin’s messages on this topic helpful.) Are you a Revolutionary?

    God Is Building A Church

    Contributed by Richard Goble on Jan 7, 2008

     | 7,745 views

    What is the Church? Many see it as a social club. Others only know it as a place to practice their religion. But the Church is much more than that. It is a living organism. It is Jesus Christ Himself, who loves it, builds it, and died for it.

    Title: God Is Building A Church Text: Matthew 16:18 Introduction What is the Church? Many see it as a social club. Others only know it as a place to practice their religion.

    What’s in your wallet? This is the question that a credit card asks as they give their reasons why their credit card is better than others. Jesus is concerned with our whole being: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, social, and financial. He understa

    based on 11 ratings
     | 11,086 views

    Without the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit, we would be nothing more than a social gathering of friendly people. We have not come here today to only be entertained with good music and a speaker telling us all how to live.

    WHERE IS THE HORN OF OIL? Text: I Samuel 16:1, 13 – 14 In the recent weeks we have had many services in which we have looked closely at the importance of being in the presence of the Holy Spirit. This emphasis on the Holy Spirit is very important for us to consider as individuals and as a ...read more

    Jesus is the central expression of God's grace and peace to us. Our unity/thankfulness for one another in the Lord is not based on our complete agreement on every social, political, or religious topic but upon our common experience of God's grace/peace

     | 51,237 views

    Facebook is a social networking site where people tell us all about themselves. But the Bible tells us God has a "facebook" page on each of us. What's on that Facebook, and what can we do to make it more appealing?

    OPEN: How many of you do NOT use the internet (a few raised their hands). How many of you do NOT use Facebook (a significantly larger number raised their hands). Over the next few weeks we’re going to be talking about “Social Networking”, which is a term that describes how people ...read more

    The call to discipleship is a call to serve as a good neighbor. This call is more than a mere social event where pleasantries are commonly shared. In the call to discipleship, we are challenged to ascend to godliness and become a spiritual friend to people in our sphere of influence.

    The Good Covid Samaritan

     | 7,962 views

    Is the opportunity to do good being hindered by the need to social distance? Should we be cautionary or should we take the risk in order to help our fellow man? The story of the Good Samaritan might give us some insight into that.

    THE GOOD COVID SAMARITAN Luke 10:30-37 In the sermon last week I shared Gal. 6:9-10, focusing on our need to do good to the family of believers. This week I was thinking about the beginning of vs. 10, "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people". My thoughts went to ...read more

     | 2,594 views

    Hope is something as important to us as water is to a fish. But with our current social and economic concerns, hope often seems illusive. Our political and legal systems are allowing outrageous things to go on. Just look at the news of this past week.

    When I Feel Alone Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 30, 2020
     | 7,506 views

    Social isolation is not the only cause of loneliness, there are many situations which cause us to feel alone. Jesus identifies with our loneliness and his sovereign grace gives us the ability to move beyond feelings of loneliness to a place of identity and purpose.

    Jesus Is Still Sovereign Psalm 68:5-6 When I Feel Alone In these past 5 weeks have you said one of these phrases more regularly. “I feel isolated.” “I want to connect.” “I need other people.” “I feel alone.” There is no doubt that the situation we are faced with at the moment has caused a greater ...read more

    Habakkuk’s praise was not dependent upon his circumstances and neither should our praise be dependent upon our circumstances. Even if our whole world is coming unglued, we will praise and worship Almighty God. Even if we lose everything, we will rejoice in the LORD and spin around in joy.

     | 9,928 views

    What exactly is the church ... A community center, a social action organization, or a gathering of people set apart from a sinful world and set apart to a life devoted to God’s calling? Peter, the rock, helps us define the true purpose of the church.
