    One blind beggar refused to stay silent. His desperate cry stopped Jesus on a crowded road. Your persistence matters. Your voice reaches heaven. Shout louder when the world tells you to be quiet.

    Conformity Is This World’s Sheep Dog Trials – A Very Serious Matter Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,272 views

    Conformity is the rule these days under increasing totalitarianism, but that will present problems for the Christian. One stands firm or compromises. To be faithful means holding fast to God’s word, not yielding our faith to distorted values so that we “fit in.” This is a difficult area.

    CONFORMITY IS THIS WORLD’S SHEEP DOG TRIALS – A VERY SERIOUS MATTER INTRODUCTION TO CONFORMITY The sheep dog trials found in sheep breeding countries is a competition where sheep dogs round up a group of sheep and ensure they are penned.

    Pride, Lust And More Sin

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Apr 4, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,154 views

    The decisions we make in haste brings to the fore front, our pride, and ego that can and will cause sin to over power our better judgement.

    When we give our word, we are to stand-by it. James tells us that our Yes be yes and our No to be no. But what happens when we make a decision that turns out to be wrong? Do you continue in the wrong or do you change your mind? Many of our decisions would be different if we had slept on them over ...read more

    Fitting In

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 13, 2011
     | 7,450 views

    comedian Lenny Bruce gives our Christian psychology a metaphorical cattle prod shock when he said, “Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.’” I suspect it has a lot to do with fitting in.

    “Fitting In” John 17:11-19 I read the prologue to a story called Girl in the Middle. The girl is Kim Satinsky who is in eighth grade. She says, “You would think that being in a clique is fun but take my word for it: It’s not. They make me wear expensive things when I’m not really rich and tell me ...read more

    This sermon is on being willing to pray a dangerous prayer such as search me oh God. It also deals with how we are tempted to keep quiet because of fear of rejection from the society around us.

    John tells us to watch out and not get caught up in what the world systems want to lure us into. It's a trap that we need to avoid.

    “It’s A Trap” 1 John 2:15-17 Intro: How many Star Wars fans do we have here this morning? My wife, Pam, is queen of the Star Wars fans. I remember when we first got married, one of the movies came out and we went and stood in line for quite some time to see the movie. To say that ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,888 views

    As we study Paul's confrontation of Peter in Galatians 2, we learn a number of lessons: the infallibility of leaders, the power of peer pressure, and the truth of the Gospel that we are saved by grace and not by works.

    Introduction: A. You are probably familiar with the traditional Russian parable about the hunter and the bear. 1. One day a hunter raised his rifle and took careful aim at a large bear. 1. When he was about to pull the trigger, the bear spoke in a soft, soothing voice, “Isn’t it better ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,619 views

    Doing what comes naturally will not lead us in the direction of drawing closer to God. Naturally we have a bent away from the things of God.

    Fight Off What Comes Naturally Exodus 20:1-21 1 Peter 2:9-12 3/6/2020 Some things that come naturally to us can prove deadly if we give ourselves over to them. Have you ever been driving and got sleepy at night. You do things to fight off that natural desire to sleep. You may open ...read more

    Jesus' Brothers Get It Wrong Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 4, 2023
     | 2,277 views

    Jesus' brothers gave Jesus some advice. It wasn't very good advice. But we can learn from it, about assumptions, about accepting Jesus as Lord, and about dealing with pressure from our families.

    Today, we’re continuing in our series ‘Encounters with Jesus in John’s gospel.’ I’m going to focus on the first eight verses of John 7. These tell us about an encounter Jesus’ brothers had with him. As usual, I’ll try to give the context. Then we’ll look at what happened. After that, we’ll ...read more

    We live in a world that is full of concerns and worries. And all the more so with a weakened economy, a weakened military and a question of leadership. These concerns put pressure on us.

     | 16,124 views

    David has faced some impossible situations head on and can certainly answer the question better than most of us, “How do I continue to have peace in times of pressure?”

    Psalm 3 - HOW CAN I EXPERIENCE PEACE IN TIMES OF PRESSURE? The door looked like a safe door and we were told to leave it locked all the time we were in our rented unit in Kiev. We don’t have to do that in Australia. When we were visited by a man from the Ukrainian Mafia and his henchmen dressed ...read more

    The sermon emphasizes steadfast obedience to God amid cultural pressures, highlighting how consistent faithfulness and convictions can leave a lasting legacy and honor God.

    Some families pass down recipes, some pass down stories, some pass down the old pocketknife with a smooth handle and a history. The Rechabites passed down a way to walk with God. Simple. Steady. Set like wet cement that hardened into holy habit. And in a world that shifts and shouts and sells ...read more
