    An Internal Peacemaker Series

    Contributed by Dan Proctor on Jan 31, 2013
     | 3,602 views

    As we commit God’s Word to our memory and implant it in our hearts, we provide ourselves with an internal peacemaker that goes with us wherever we go. We can have fresh air wherever we go. What exactly will this peacemaker do for the believer?

    Peacemakers of the Heart “An Internal Peacemaker” Introduction: 1. According to Philippians 4:6-7, God never intended for His children to live stressed-out lives. God’s plan for His children is one of peace. 2. Peace will only come at the root level of our inner spirit. We must ...read more

    Look, you need to know this man died. He was tortured and executed. It was awful.

    In the book, How to Disappear, there are true stories of people who faked their own deaths to collect on life insurance policies, or simply to start over. To catch them, specialists are hired. The book says many get caught by doing things like visiting their mother. Or, they chose a new name that ...read more

    Paul's emphasis on Joy/Rejoicing

    December 11, 2021 Philippi was a Greek city founded in 350 BC. In 86 BC, it became a Roman colony. Although a relatively small city, Philippi had 2 significant advantages: it was a major seaport and it was located on a major trade route. In about 52 AD Paul came to Philippi and a church was ...read more

    The focus of this sermon is the Resurrection of Jesus from Paul's perspective and his view that the resurrection is it is not simply a historical event to be remembered, but an on-going truth and power that should be embraced.

    (Scripture read from Philippians 3:7-11.) Good morning. Happy Easter! He is risen! Amen. Glory. How many of you happened to attend the Easter egg hunt that was here yesterday? It was a great event. I think we had about 70 kids from the community here. It was put on by the Children’s ...read more

    When You Feel Like All Others Have Turned Away!

     | 4,695 views

    Paul writes in his letters to Timothy and warns about those who have turned away or deserted him!

    FEELING ALL ALONE In my recent reading of I and II Timothy, I was struck by Paul’s declaration to the young preacher how many had turned from the faith. Although partly as a warning to Timothy, a theme that runs through both letters is to avoid foolish arguments and that some will turn ...read more

    Marijuana Use: Willingly Walking Into Bondage

    Contributed by Terry Frazier on Feb 1, 2014
     | 8,202 views

    What's really behind the movement in America to legalize marijuana? Why do we want to sanction people being put into bondage to a substance and in a broader sense sin? This is very troubling as Christians seem to be having a hard time standing against sin

    A couple of weeks ago I preached a message on the Christian views on legalizing marijuana in America. If you’ll recall, I wasn’t very supportive of the idea. The notion that we can legalize sin and somehow make state sanctioning of sin a good thing despite the fact that legalizing ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 35,550 views

    There's something about families. Our families can be the source of the greatest joy and deepest heartaches. There's more emotion attached to our families than any other unit in society. And Jesus had some revolutionary things to say about family.

    INTRODUCTION Over the years, it’s been my joy to officiate more than 500 weddings. Sometimes funny things happen at weddings. I’ve had a groom who passed out not once, but three times during the ceremony. I’ve had several groomsmen pass out—but never a bride or a bridesmaid. And they call females ...read more

    We don’t have all the answers to life’s hard questions, but God has. His ways are higher. His thoughts are greater. He fights our battles even those ones that we don’t know about.

    It's Labor Day in NSW tomorrow. That gives some people time to take their families on a long drive out of the city. It's perfect timing because it's also school holidays here in NSW until 07 Oct. We've done a few long drives during school holidays when our children were little. I ...read more

    God is bigger than your doubts or questions. He welcomes your questions and will give you His answer. To work your way from uncertainty to certainty is no sin – if you’re doubt is honest and you’re willing to believe. So, doubt that leads to questions tha

    Joke: A defendant was on trial for murder. There was strong evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse.

    Tough love or tender love. The disciples toiling in rowing, and Jesus unusual response. (He would have passed them by.) When we get close to God we will have sympathy for others, we can also gain insight into the best way to help them.

    God's Eye View Intro: In many video games there is something called, "God's Eye View." What they mean by that is seeing things from a much better perspective and vantage point. For example, if we had a battle scene, there is the perspective of the individual soldier facing enemies that his limited ...read more

    Philippi was a tough place to start a mission - wrong type of people, wrong area, wrong timing! But it seems that God doesn’t need straightforward circumstances in or...

    We’re reading from the diary of St Paul, as given to us in the book of Acts - a section covering Paul’s second tour of duty in Asia Minor. In Acts Chapter 16, Paul begins what we might call the Apostolic invasion of Europe! In the diary entry that follows this one, Paul and his comrade Silas are ...read more
