Waiting on the Spirit Acts 1:23-26 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone’s heart.

The Art Of Listening

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Feb 22, 2012

Former President Bill Clinton once said, "Being president is like running a cemetery; you've got a lot of people uner you...and nobody's listening." I think that God often feels like no one listens to Him.

“The Art of Listening” Luke 9:28-45 Former President Bill Clinton once said, “Being President is like running a cemetery: you’ve got a lot of people under you . . . and nobody’s listening.” I have a hunch that it’s not only presidents who feel this way. ...read more

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jan 7, 2011

Somanytime church folk are so quick to be judge, jury, and executioner because someone isn't doing what they think they should be doing and want to stone them, but if it had not been for Grace they would still be messed up themselves facing stoning.

You Can't Have It Both Ways

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 23, 2012

The Throne Room Of Heaven Series

John is given a picture of a God who is transcendent, unapproachable in his holiness, surrounded by the greatest of angelic beings who can think of nothing they’d rather do than fall down at his feet and sing his praises.

I applied for ordination in 1988 - in another diocese from this. When I went for the interview to see if I was acceptable, one of the questions I was asked was “What is God like for you?” It’s a good question, isn’t it? What is your image of God? Now I have an idea that the ...read more

The Promise Of Marriage Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Jul 13, 2009

Many people today are asking the question, “What is the definition of marriage?” At the same time they might wonder who sets the definition. Don’t you think that the One who designed marriage in the first place is the One who gets to set the definition?

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Mar 26, 2009

This message encourages people to grow up and think for themselves. In the history of redemption, God’s people were once children in His eyes. Now, since Christ has redeemed us, we are adult sons, free from the guardianship of the law.
