     | 8,121 views

    Everyone has advice, but not many offer wisdom when it comes to getting out of a rut. What does the Lord say about it?

    Getting out of a rut Prayer- Introduction- I want to talk about being in a rut and how to get out of a rut. You know the standing joke about being in a rut is to stop digging. But how do you do that? Universal question! Everybody has advice… for someone else. When I look at society, there ...read more

    "Behold, the sower went out to sow." Missing from this parable are the words, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to.”

    "Behold, the sower went out to sow." Missing from this parable are the words, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to.” There must be some good reason why Jesus omitted these words from the first parable. The reason why they are omitted is not a mystery. The kingdom of heaven is an expression ...read more

    The Lord keeps our light burning.

    Following Jesus is a marathon, not a sprint. Parable of the sower: Rocky ground, Thorny ground. Too many Christians give up. "It's just too hard." Why? They truly do not trust God. Their own power fails. You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. Psalm ...read more

    The sounds of the city snatches away our attention and the persistent voice of Christ’s love fights to be heard above the collective sighs of our APATHY. Just like the parable of the Sower and the Soils.

    Matthew 13:10-17 – HOW TO GUAGE YOUR SPIRITUAL APATHY – Part 3 We visited the Opera House in Sydney not long ago. Thousands of people on foot! I am reminded that there is a spiritual INDIFFERENCE that walks the concrete footpaths of my city and what Christ has to say is often swept away or ...read more

    Are You Choking?

     | 7,884 views

    Too often, Christians can become so busy in their lives that they choke the word of God out of it. Too many of us are the thorny soil at times. This sermon helps us remember what our priorities should be.

    Often as Christians, we need to take a step back from our busy lives to examine where we are as Christians. We need to ask ourselves many questions: Have I been growing? Is that growth visible to others? Am I more holy this month or year than I was last year? These are all important questions we ...read more
