    Most believers think that God is mad at them, when it’s only His loving hand that strips away the dead works of flesh to reveal the fruit that will never perish

    Prune until you bloom I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch that doesn’t bear fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful, (John 15:1-2). Most believers think that God is mad at them, when ...read more

    Why did Jesus rebuke these sailors (who knew a bad storm when they saw one) for their fear? I don’t think He did. Find out why.

    In our last series, we dealt with questions we’d like to ask God. For the next few weeks, we’re going to turn that around and look at questions Jesus would ask us. And the first question we’re going to deal with is found in found in Mark 4:35-41 - "Why Are You So Afraid?". (Read text and have ...read more

    Some people think that is wrong to ask God for troubles that come our way. While it is wrong to complain, this sermon argues that you can approch God with a right attitude to understand.

    How Can I Ask God? Psalm 13 “If God is a God of love, how can He allow bad things to happen?” This is a question asked often by non-believers and believers alike. At times this is more likely an excuse rather than an honest question. Other times this is a heart-felt question. Children of God ...read more

    What character of the Bible best describes you? Do you start out well only to finish poorly and offer God every excuse you can think of?

    Barzillai – 27th April 2008 am 2 Samuel 19:32 Background – David running from Absalom Bar-zil-lah-ee The Holy Spirit says something of Barzillai that He says of very few people. He says that he was “a very great man.” The Bible does not hand out this kind of praise openhandedly. It marks ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,897 views

    We feel stuck in responsibilities, trying to maintain something just because we’ve inherited it, and are tempted to think of leadership as image. In a relationship to Christ, responsibility is transformed into freedom.

    He was tired to the bone, but rose to go trim the wicks and boost the light again. How many times had he been to these lamps tonight? How many times had he wanted just to give it up and go to bed? How many times had he hoped that some magic answer would swoop in his open window and land on his ...read more

    In order to feel fully at home in the church, we begin with praying for one another, we learn both to receive and to give to one another, and we abandon top-down thinking.

    Isn’t it astounding, the power of the group? Isn’t it amazing that an otherwise normal, there, healthy, together person can be in a group and feel so wrong? Have you ever been in a group that was sending out such negative vibes that you just wanted to get out of there? Somehow you even felt ashamed ...read more

    Getting through dry times, is not done by the use of your wits, your education, your determination, or the power of positive thinking. Getting through dry times requires a supernatural solution.
