    God’s presence transforms His house and people, inviting us to deeper prayer, reverence, and dedication as we become a welcoming home for Him.

    There is a hush that falls over the soul when you remember that God makes a home among His people. Not a far-off fortress, not a sterile sanctuary, but a home—where His name rests, where His eyes watch, where His heart abides. Think about that. The Maker of mountains sets His affection on a house ...read more

    Countering Drip-By-Drip Change...

     | 4,517 views

    Sometime change in our, and our churches, Christian perspective is so slow that we fail to recognize what is happening. It is like the drip-by-drip change, which Nazi ideology brought to Germany.

    Countering Drip-by-Drip Change... Illustration We need to take the time to question how the German people could have allowed Nazi fanatics to turn their country into a Satanic tool that killed Jews by the millions? While it is true that early on some Germans openly adopted pagan and irreligious ...read more

    A short talk given at a local school where I was invited to take an Easter assembly on the last day of term. The date was Friday 1st April 2011. I used the opportunity to talk about April Fools day hoaxes, and to say I believe the resurrection is true!

    On Sunday 17th April many Churches will celebrate an event known as Palm Sunday, remembering when Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a Donkey. Now I know a donkey doesn’t sound impressive, but back then people expected a saviour to come riding on a donkey so they knew what it meant. The Bible puts ...read more

    Surviving today requires that believers develop a godly mentality, a strategic plan and an understanding of the spiritual tools given to us by the Holy Spirit. Survival requires dedication to press in to God and in following His lead. In part 2 of this

    It’s one thing to believe God brings us together as the body of Christ for His glory, and it is another to act upon what you believe. We can believe all the right stuff, but faith without works is still dead right? Let's walk together in covenant.

    Christians have been taught that the tithe is a "spiritual bill" they must pay in order to keep the "windows of heaven" open. Is it possible that this passage is being used to teach something that it does not teach?

    As a child, before my brothers and sisters and I would sit down for breakfast, we asked our father what we could do to please him so that he would let us eat. He’d tell us. If we wanted lunch money for school we would ask our father what would please him. He’d tell us. At supper time, as we sat ...read more

    Using the Temptation of Christ as a text, this sermon examines how sex is a good gift from God, but porn tries to offer a shortcut to sexual satisfaction.

    AN OVERLOOKED TRUTH: Sex was God’s idea and it is a good gift from Him. - Genesis 2:20-25. - The church often comes across as anti-sex. We talk a lot about what’s wrong with the way our culture handles sex. This sermon series largely falls into that category, so I’m not saying that there is no ...read more

    www.pastorkurt.com INTRODUCTION: Corinth was the center of the Epicurean philosophy, which said that, because there is no eternity, man should eat, drink, and be merry on earth.

    A leader is not born, and not made in times of crisis, but are revealed to the world when crisis struck. Today's crisis has revealed a lack of leadership in the church.

    In today's world, knowing what to do in times of crisis can give a nation or a person the needed advantage to overcome adverse situations. But a shortfall of not knowing what to do can spell more trouble, anxiety, and fear in the midst of uncertainty and a wanting leadership. And this true in ...read more

    We are told to have salt in us. Salt was used in the ancient world, and occasionally today, to preserve meat from corruption. So if we have spiritual salt, we will be preserved against that kind of corrupt thought and behavior.
