    Contributed by David Richardson on Apr 11, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,503 views

    We all share an individual responsibility toward the truth we profess. We can never break the plan of God by our own inconsistencies, but our inconsistencies can break our own selves against the plan of God.

    The First in Line Scripture: Romans 3:1-4 (Romans 3:1-8) 1 What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? 2 Much in every way! First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God. 3 What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith ...read more

    Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sa

    If you’ve ever been to our Anglican seminary - Moore College in Newtown - you may have also visited its unusual chapel, known as the Cash Chapel (named after the guy who donated it, rather than how it was paid for). Now, when people set up a church building, they tend to design it with the ...read more

    Stand And Be Counted

    At a church-sponsored rally for census involvement. Census taking may seem invasive, but the information leads toward justice; God is able to use the census for His purposes; and it reminds us of the vast task of redemption to which we are called.

    When Rev. Gray asked me to preach, the answer was easy. I am just about always ready to preach! You know how it is with preachers, especially Baptists: we can come up with a Scripture to cover all occasions, we have an opinion about everything, and we believe that everybody is waiting to hear our ...read more

    Whether we live to see the second coming of the Lord or are called home to Him at the end of our lives, we do not know the day or the hour of His return and we need to live in readiness, looking toward the appearing of the Lord.

    Introduction First month of 2008 almost over- 1/12th of year gone.

     | 22,986 views

    Staying motivated while serving God can be difficult but God has given us keys for maintaining motivation in the Great Commission He’s called us to - these keys will help you stay focussed and energized towards the goal.

    Merriam-Webster’s Definition: Motivation is something, as a need or desire, that causes a person to act. Russ Akins – “Motivation is the measure of what it takes to overcome initial inertia and become activated towards some sort of accomplishment.” Introduction: One second before you die, if you ...read more

    Defending The Poor Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 3, 2013
     | 6,734 views

    God cares for the poor and oppressed; one of the most prominent themes in the Bible is our response toward the poor. It is the duty of God’s people to provide for those in need as best as we can with compassion, following the example of Nehemiah.

    Nehemiah has resisted outward attacks, but now there’s corruption within. It’s been said that, “No test of leadership is more revealing than the test of opposition” (Boice). Nehemiah wasn’t expecting opposition from his own people. The outcry of the poor reached his ...read more

     | 11,193 views

    Questions are part of daily life. Some questions have black-and-white answers, others are in the shades of gray. Some questions have no answers. How we ask God questions is a reflection of our attitude towards Him.

    Difficult Questions, Unexpected Answers Matthew 22:15-22 Introduction People, by nature, are inquisitive. There are many unanswered dilemmas that we want to know the outcome. We want answers. We want them now! But we want them to meet our expectations. Look at how we view the upcoming ...read more

    How The Church Must Live According To The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 7, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,620 views

    We’re to please God, not ourselves and we’re to love one another; to seek their welfare above our own. The Christian life is always one of growth, of ongoing training, as we press on towards the goal of eternal life.

    I think Christians often struggle with knowing how to respond to the pressures we feel to lower our standards of behaviour. And there are two extremes that we come across among Christians. One extreme thinks we should forget those old fashioned mores and get with the times: after all, this is a new ...read more

    Embracing Life And Living Life Among Others Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 31, 2016
     | 6,229 views

    Sooner or later, we must revise our expectations downward and realize that it is not God’s will for us to always feel happy. Instead, we must embrace all of life with a view toward loving God and loving others.

    Embracing Life and Living Life Among Others (topical) 1. Does your life ever feel like this? 2. I was reading recently about a man who awoke one morning to find a puddle of water in the middle of his king-size water bed. In order to fix the puncture, he rolled the heavy mattress outdoors and ...read more

    The Stirring At Bethesda

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 16, 2016
     | 18,222 views

    We see the lame man waiting on & trying to sense the supernatural. He desires to yield to God and is expecting the miraculous. God answered his faith & healed him. Do we have that kind of open attitude toward the supernatural?

    Today, our world is facing a terrible disaster and too many Christians are running in the wrong direction. I believe that it is time to become "spiritual first res-ponders" and start running toward the disaster. Thanks to Pastor Ben Gutierre

    “GO HOME” Mark 7: 4 When we see disasters, on the news, we most often remember the masses of people running FROM the disaster. But we also notice those who are running toward the trouble. We see the first res-ponders who rush in or people rushing home to do what they can to save their ...read more

    Our attitude toward the Work of the Lord needs to be one of I Can't Stop! What I'm do for the Lord is way too important to allow myself to be distracted by those who are jealous!! The need is of great importance!!
