    Spiritual Fruit Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 24, 2015
     | 8,326 views

    Your life should be more than a flurry of activity. You were meant to produce spiritual fruit. Paul uses the imagery of fruit trees to illustrate this. What you want out of a fruit tree is fruit. In the Christian life what we want is spiritual fruit.

    Wouldn’t it be great if every time that you received a harsh criticism you returned it with a response of kindness? That is what it is like for the believer who has the fruit of the Spirit manifested in their life. Wouldn’t it be great the next time you are wronged, instead of rage ...read more

    Somewhere in Canada tonight, a child will go to bed in a room that’s not their own, will cry for a mother who is not there, will long for the embrace of a father to keep them safe.

    Spiritual Gifts Series

    Contributed by Tim Zoltowski on Jan 24, 2016
     | 9,262 views

    This message discusses the purpose of the gifts of the Spirit and the plan that God has for His people to use them to serve others. In 2 Peter 4, each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace

    I would like to talk to you today about the Gifts of the Spirit. If the last three sermons have hit home with you then you are likely encouraged, even excited, to serve the Lord as Christ's ambassadors. You realize that you are a new creation and cannot live the way you used to. Not that you have ...read more

    Spiritual Spinach

     | 16,191 views

    What spinach did for Popeye physically is what God can do for us spiritually. However, that doesn’t mean it will be instantaneous like Popeye's reaction; but it will be supernatural nonetheless. Let's see how we can get some of God's spiritual spinach.

    SPIRITUAL SPINACH Isaiah 40:27-31 Popeye. What spinach did for Popeye physically is what God can do for us spiritually. Now, I need to incorporate a disclaimer here: just because the Lord is the source of supernatural power doesn’t mean there’s going to be an instantaneous reaction ...read more

    This is a subject many Christians would rather avoid (But we are in a Spiritual battle so we might as well admit it and learn how to fight) Our victory exists in only one place and that's the realm of the Spirit.

    Exodus 17:8-13 Have you ever felt like life is throwing at you everything but the kitchen sink, and then (pow here comes the kitchen sink)? It feels like your theme song is (when it rains it pours) and nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen? Let me take it a ...read more

    Spiritual Networth

    Contributed by John Roy on Oct 26, 2016
     | 7,350 views

    Are we material people trapped in spiritual bodies, or spiritual people trapped in material bodies? This sermon asserts that we need to be concerned about our spiritual net worth, because we are spiritual people.

    From time to time I suspect people review their finances. In those reviews, they may take a moment to calculate their net worth. Our financial net worth is the value of all assets, minus the total of all liabilities. Put another way, net worth is what is owned minus what is owed. The value of ...read more

    Some groups put The Pastor on a pedestal as God’s annointed, a spiritual super-star to be admired and honored. In our passage today Paul sarcastically shreds this un-Christlike view of leadership.

    Spiritual Leadership 1 Corinthians 4 Most American Christians are soft. Our crosses are pretty jewelry, not instruments of brutal death. They warmly decorate our houses rather than warning of suffering. Particularly in the suburban Bible Belt, our versions of Christianity depict sanitized pictures ...read more

    Rom. 15:7-17 shows us several actions that are appropriate and should be expected from the people of God. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is accept one another and overlook perceived faults.

    The Spirituality of Mutuality Romans 15:7-17 Intro: Mutuality speaks of a reciprocal relationship between two or more people. It speaks of shared interests, values, and common goals.
