    God, our Heavenly Father, commands that His children are to love one another deeply.

    INTRODUCTION: The Difference between Mediocrity & Greatness in the Church 1. Just before Jesus told His disciples that the world would hate them (John 15:18—“If the world hates you, keep in mind it hated me first”), He commanded them to “love one another just as He had loved them.

    Spiritual Fitness

    In chapter 9, we explore having the Lord as your avocation – finding the best fit for you, fitting in with others, and becoming fit to excel in His service.

    Do you have an avocation? I don’t mean a hobby you play at – or a job you work at – but something that really interests you – something you’ll spend hours and hours working on, even when you don’t have to? For some people its fishing – they not only have specific flies to catch specific fish in ...read more

    The Holy Spirit produces kindness and goodness in us. Does our culture value these?

    Kindness and Goodness: Fruits of the Spirit Gal 5:16-26 November 21, 2004 Intro: Putting something to music is a great way to learn, and so it probably comes as no surprise that the list of fruits of the Spirit, which we read about in Gal 5, have been put to music so that people can learn ...read more

    The Heart Of The One Whom God Prospers Series

     | 4,158 views

    there is something more fundamental to becoming a person with a blessed life even than having a dream. It is something called, ‘heart!’ Obviously I’m not talking about the fist-sized knot of muscle in your chest that pumps the blood through your body!

    Last week, my intent was to convince you from the Scripture, of this fact - “God loves to bless His children!” We defined blessings, not so much in terms of the normal measures of worldly success - being wealth, fame, or beauty. These are certainly desirable, but God loves to bless us with things ...read more

     | 3,617 views

    Observations of the kind of values that Jesus outlines in the Beatitudes. (Heavily in debt to Dallas Willard for seminal thoughts!)

    Last week, I talked about the need for a transformed heart, made alive by God’s Spirit. If our desire is to please God and enjoy His blessings, our heart must be renewed daily, and we must discipline our hearts so they are undivided! We need not be ‘miserable Christians’ frustrated by the gap ...read more

    The Truth About Serving Christ Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Dec 1, 2006
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,772 views

    What does it mean to serve Christ? Paul talks about servant-leadership in this passage and calls for humility among those who think they are wise and brilliant enough to lead the church.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT SERV ING CHRIST Whenever a title like this is used several thoughts go through our minds: “You mean there is something false about the way we serve?” “There’s a ‘truth’ I didn’t know about?” “Is this something new?” To set your minds at ease I must confess that this is nothing new ...read more

    If you want to grow to full maturity in life, respect God's discipline; don't reject it.

    A mechanic accidentally swallowed some brake fluid and really liked the taste. Before he knew it, he had finished off the whole bottle. One of his co-workers caught him sneaking a swig the next day. “Man, that stuff will kill you,” said his friend, “you've got to give it up.” “Don't worry,” the ...read more

    A challenge to avoid being Pharisaical in the church.

    The Apostle Paul had an interesting style of ministry. Paul would travel to a city, get to know a few people, plant a church, then stay around as long as it took (usually a couple years) until the church was self-sufficient. Then he would pack up and move to a new city and start the process all ...read more

    A second message based on Matthew 7:1-5, but from a different perspective...

    How to be a Bad Judge Matthew 7:1-5 July 31, 2005 Introduction I’m not sure what’s going on, but I can’t seem to get past this issue of judging. At the base, I think it’s that I’m tired of people taking misperceptions about what judging is really all about and running around with error ...read more

    Ultimately we’re called to service because we’re seeking to follow the steps of our saviour Jesus Christ. Jesus came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many

    Have you ever had one of those really annoying waiters or waitresses that are always there hovering around the table? They’re the ones who come and take your plate almost the second your last mouthful goes in & the cutlery goes down. This can be really annoying because it denies you the chance to ...read more

    The descriptions given of the 3 men that John wrote about in 3 John are general descriptions of the type of hearts that we find in every church. The Heart of a Servant, the Heart of the Evangelist, and the Un-teachable Heart.

    Jessu continues asking questions of his disciples, this one deals with serving, the open illustration is a great tension building activity

    This morning we are going to start our message off a little differently then normal. Since we are talking about servanthood, I thought it would be appropriate to wash one another¡¦s feet. In just a few moments men and women will be coming in with towels and basins, we will start from the outside ...read more
