Humility And The Wedding Banquet.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Sep 1, 2013

Humility is not what you think, humility is power, strength, energy and life; but to receive it, you must submit yourself to God; you must acknowledge that he is king, and you are subjected to him.

Prayer: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable to you O Lord. Amen. Introduction: There is a country and western song which I love called “Lord, it is hard to be humble, when you are perfect in ever way”. I think the words are so funny because for me, ...read more

God’s Message To God’s People - Isaiah 6 Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Nov 8, 2012

When I look at the Biblical prophets, I think “Here I am, send somebody else,” because this is not a very pleasant job. Prophets are rejected throughout the Bible. Jesus also was rejected.

Isaiah 6 Vs. 1 & 2 - In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. Uzziah ...read more

Contributed by John Hamby on Oct 10, 2011

There are thousands of people who are terrified that they may have committed the unpardonable sin. This is a shame because the mere fact that they desire to repent is evidence that the Holy Spirit is still working in their lives. I think that part of the

God Searches Our Hearts And Minds

Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 19, 2013

There are men who think that God just watches only the daring and glaring sins but turns a blind eye to the others. Not so, let me very clearly point out that He watches all!

Psalms 7:9’Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.’ Some of the super-duper looters (government ministers) have said: ‘watch, I will come out clean.’ Well, we see umpteen of such cases ...read more

Be Careful Who You Rent To Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Aug 15, 2012

In our parable today I want you to think Temple of God, and the remarkable fact that God has continually allowed human beings to be his tenants both on the earth and especially here in the Temple.

We remember friends back in BC who had to rent the basement of their house out as most normal people who own houses have to do back there.

In Humble Submission

Contributed by Daniel Austin on Aug 25, 2012

When we find ourselves thinking that what we need is more, let’s commit to becoming less. Don’t submit to circumstances, but to the Lord who controls circumstances.

In Humble Submission 05/01/10 PM 1 Peter 5:5 Introduction Living in this world does not come easy, everyone struggles. It should be of no surprise as Jesus Himself tells us that in this world we will have tribulations (troubles) in this life. But we often have a tendency to think that if we just ...read more

Sacred Altars

Contributed by Allen James on Oct 19, 2009

Often times when we think of a sacred altar we focus more on being in the right place rather than being God’s person who is filled with God’s presence.

Sacred Altars • Ezra 1:1-4, 2:1-2, 3:1-7 OPENING IDEA: Where are your Sacred Spaces in life? WEDDING. SIGN. LIFE EVENT. FOOTBALL STADIUM. CAMP. CEMETERY. We often return to these sacred spaces to revisit and/or sometimes to rebuild or resurrect the memory or even that place in life. Feel like ...read more

The Old Rules Uncloaked

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 13, 2009

MLK Sunday: In the beloved community we no longer need to think of over and under. The old way is a prison; Christ sees us as sinners in need of grace, and therefore all children of His, family.

When our children were small, they liked to play games with us. But they liked it best when they could win. Whether it was crazy eights, or chutes and ladders, or just hide-and-go-seek, our children loved to play games as long as they could win. If they lost too much they would burst into tears and ...read more

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 11, 2010

Flying United Series

Contributed by Blake Inscore on Sep 1, 2008

I think we all realize that we are “supposed” to love another, and that we “should” be united, but what we are “supposed” to do or “should” do are not the same things as what we actually do.

Introduction: Today we are beginning a series of messages on the importance of love and unity in the Church. The catch phrase which we put out on the marquee this week is: We Fly United and We Love It! We are going to use similar themes each week to challenge us as a church to examine our ...read more

Contributed by Tim Smith on Sep 16, 2008

When we think of the flogging of Jesus, it is hard for us to understand what really happened. The Gospels only give one line to it. So what really happened when one was flogged?

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 23, 2010

Abimelech, probably thinking that he can form an alliance with Abraham who is a wealthy man, decides to take Sarah into his harem. Abimelech may be the CO-STAR in this movie but he deserves the Oscar.
