     | 12,132 views

Kelly Durant 2 Tim 2:1-4 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou ...read more

    The Holy Spirit took fisherman, former prostitutes, ex-religious leaders, tax collectors, and various family members of Jesus and the other disciples and formed them into a united group we call the church.

    Today across our group of churches is Healing and Wholeness Sunday. We are a Pentecostal Church and we believe that God can and does Heal people every day. So why do we have a specific day dedicated to Healing and Wholeness? In many ways today is no different from any other day but often we ...read more

     | 8,562 views

    We may either adopt the cynicism of this dying world, dismissing truth when it stands before us, or we may embrace the Son of God who is truth.

    “Pilate said to Jesus, ‘What is truth?’” [1] Cynicism best describes the governor’s demeanor when the True Light stood before him. Arraigned before Pilate’s judgement seat was Jesus of Nazareth who testified of Himself, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” [JOHN 14:6]. Someone has ...read more

     | 2,148 views

    En marzo de 2022, el 42% de los pastores había considerado dejar el ministerio a tiempo completo durante el año anterior (Encuesta del Grupo BARNA). Además, sólo el 30% de los líderes de la Biblia terminaron bien. Definitivamente, nuestras luces deben brillar en la cima.

    DEJA QUE TU LUZ BRILLE EN LA CIMA "Hijo de hombre, ¿cómo es mejor la madera de la vid que cualquier otra madera, el sarmiento que está entre los árboles del bosque? (Ezequiel 15:2) Jesús desarmó a los principados y potestades. Hizo de ellos un espectáculo ...read more

    God calls his people to be pure. We cannot succumb to the allure of contemporary culture, approving what is done in society if we will honour the Lord.

    “I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I gaze at a virgin? What would be my portion from God above and my heritage from the Almighty on high? Is not calamity for the unrighteous, and disaster for the workers of iniquity? Does not he see my ways and number all my steps? “If I ...read more

    Takes three aspects of the game of ice-hockey and finds bible messages in them. This sermon was given to a mainly unbelieving group of ice-hockey supporters of The Sheffield Steelers Ice Hockey Club, United Kingdom.

    This sermon was given to a mainly non-Christian group of ice hockey fans in 25th January 2001. It was very different to the sermons given in Church to seekers or believers. I found this sermon difficult to write and indeed the delivery went slightly away from this script as the Spirit lead ...read more

God had miraculously freed them from the prison and they returned right back to doing what the temple rulers had told them not to do The Good news was too good to keep it to themselves. Verse 33 There were some that were ready to ...read more

  • Simple Leadership: Elders Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 28, 2015
     | 5,074 views

    The New Testament pattern for church leadership is not personnel committees, democracy, influential families in the church, or hierarchies. It is simply a group of men known as elders who study and seek to follow God’s Word.
