    based on 17 ratings
     | 3,533 views

    The call of John the Baptizer still rings true in the 21st century. Our culture seeks to do away with sin by calling it a "privacy" issue. The scriptures call our acts of disobedience againts God and our fellow man....sin.

    In the gospel of Matthew we see a few recurring themes: True spirituality; living by faith; and achieving greatness. All of these themes overlap to some extent. Matthew 18 begins with the disciples re-opening these issues again by asking Jesus a question.

    You Are Predestined To Rule Over All Creation (3) Series

     | 6,001 views

    We Christians shall EXERCISE the AUTHORITY of Christ, by the POWER of the Holy Spirit. We are PREDESTINED to CAST OUT the devil, which is Satan, and his demons that TORMENT our brethren DAY and NIGHT, to the ETERNAL FIRE, the “Lake of Fire”. Our issue is

    Today in our passage of Scripture we’re going to see Jesus addressing the issue of heaven w/His disciples. And what we’re going to discover are some reasons we can have confidence that heaven is an actual place.

    Intro: Lee Strobel had an interview in his 1994 book “What Would Jesus Say?” w/Donald Trump. This interview took place in 1989 when Trump was on top of his game. One writer asked Trump what else there was left for him to conquer in the business world. He very confidently responded, “Right now, ...read more

    Bold Hospitality Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,859 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

     | 6,145 views

    As the church grows, there will inevitably be problems among people. How does the early church deal with these issues as they arise and what can today’s church learn in how to deal with these “growing concerns” in a way that will glorify God?

    Practising Worship (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 15, 2017
     | 7,435 views

    Though we speak of worship, I suspect that few of us worship. Perhaps we are uncertain of Whom we should seek or what we should do when we have found Him. This Psalm addresses those issues.

    “Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness. “The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over many waters. The voice of the LORD ...read more

    God Uses Our Personality Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 14, 2018
     | 4,599 views

    Many of our conflicts arise because we have different personalities, and thus different perspectives. When an issue comes up — especially one that is neither black or white — we tend to latch onto the response dictated by our personality.

    God Uses Our Personality! (Acts 15:36-41) 1. Happy Mother’s Day to our moms! We appreciate you. 2. Moms have a variety of personalities. Here is a true account: My mother is always trying to understand what motivates people, especially those in her family. One day she and my sister were ...read more

     | 13,772 views

    This sermon looks at the woman with the Issue of Blood. Jesus was determined to heal her body, mind and soul (Sozo). She almost settled for a mere physical (iaomai) healing. She almost settled for a lesser blessing. Are we tempted to do the same?

     | 54,271 views

    Sin is a fact of life and is the most horrible thing in the universe. In fact, if it was not for the issue of sin, Jesus had no business dying. Sin is so terrible that God had to surrender his own Son as a scapegoat so that He could be dealt with to elimi

    This week, we are looking at the message entitled, “The tragedy of covered sin.” One of the most serious verses in the Bible is found in Proverbs chapter 28 verse 13: “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper but he that confesseth and forsaketh them shall have ...read more

     | 15,700 views

    Our churches are afraid to speak against such issues within the church itself because of the fear of losing people and stepping on toes. Christians are afraid to speak out against it because we do not want to be viewed as bigots or as intolerant right w

    Evil

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 1, 2013
     | 4,811 views

    Are we able to defend the faith taught in the Scriptures when a non-believer challenges us on the hard issues? What do we say, how do we respond when asked why the Lord allows evil and the resulting suffering?

    Deuteronomy 30:19-20a “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. “Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold ...read more
