    Paul said that he hoped that he might share in Jesus' suffering. Seriously? Why would he want that?

    based on 65 ratings
     | 52,405 views

    Jesus said He offered a different peace than the world did. But what kind of peace does the world offer us and how is what Jesus gives better than that?

    OPEN: How many of you have ever heard of a singer named Travis Tritt? Now he’s a famous Country singer, but before he made it big, Tritt spent years playing in small out-of-the-way bars and taverns. He said that (as you might expect) these were dangerous places. His fans were mostly drunks ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,826 views

    The Bible tells us we have angels watching over us. But what does that mean, and what should it mean to us?

    There is the true story of a family who was desperately trying to sell their house, which was located on a busy street. Their real estate agent decided to have open-house nearly every day to promote the sale. And they instructed the children not to talk to anyone about the house. One evening a man ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 17,046 views

    Jesus was born to bring us peace - that's what Isaiah declared and angels sang. But what does that mean? What kind of peace did Jesus come to give me, and how can I receive it?

    The past few weeks we’ve been looking at the gifts Jesus was born to give us. This week, we’re focusing on the gift of “peace” and (because today is Christmas) I wanted to start the sermon with a Christmas Carol that had peace as part of its message. But as I searched ...read more

    Nature is a great teacher and the creation is full of meaning. In studying the behaviour of small doves, I have gained an insight into their habits and lives. There are lessons for Christians we can learn from them. This is Part 2 and develops those lessons.

    THIS IS WHAT MY PEACEFUL DOVES HAVE TAUGHT ME – WILL I HEED THE LESSONS? PART 2 OF 2 This is PART 2 of the message on doves.

    Why didn’t Jesus heal everybody at the pool of Bethesda? Why just one paralytic?

    God has called us to live our lives as Bold Adventurers. We are called to live a unique life, a bold life and life where we know who we are why we believe. How do we fulfill the adventure that God has set before us?

    (We opened with a video by our children’s minister which integrated Stephen Curtis Chapman’s “The Great Adventure” with clips from the Indiana Jones movies - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag4MXV8yqb4 till time stamp: 2:58) As Christians, God saved us to go on a great ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Collins on Aug 23, 2021
     | 3,091 views

    This is the 3rd message in a series called Perspectives and this message is about looking at life with God's perspective, rather than with our own.

    Hello and welcome back to another message on ‘Perspectives!’ This is the third message, and today I am dealing with the topic of ‘life’ itself. If you were to say to me, “How is life?” I’d say it’s wonderful, and for that I give praise to God. The question, “What is life?” has been asked by so many ...read more

    The Lion, The Lamb And The Throne Room Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 19, 2016
    based on 13 ratings
     | 24,658 views

    Almost everyone has a picture in their minds of what Jesus looks like... but almost no one visualizes Him the way He's shown in Revelation 5. Why does God paint us a portrait of a wounded lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes?

    A preacher was showing a child a painting of Jesus. Trying to explain that we didn’t really know what Jesus looked like he said: "It's not really Jesus. It’s just an artist's conception of him." The child looked long and hard at the picture and said; "Well, it sure looks like him," ...read more

     | 2,320 views

    Have you ever seen a wild sea with wild waves casting up from the sea floor filth and debris and putrid things? That is the next image Jude uses to describe false teachers. That is what their doctrines and behaviour are like. We then look at wild waves in scripture.

    WILD WAVES OF THE SEA CASTING UP THEIR OWN SHAME – Jude 1:13 Jude has been decrying false teachers and using quite stunning metaphors to describe them. In previous messages we did these and saw that each one paralleled what Peter also wrote, for he too, addressed those bring havoc into the ...read more

    based on 68 ratings
     | 25,220 views

    The Bible never teaches us to say "I'm sorry". Why not? What is so wrong with saying that simply phrase when you've hurt someone?

    OPEN: (We put a picture of a “Sorry” game board on the screen) How many of you recognize this game board? And how many of you have ever played it? Amazon.com says the game of Sorry is the #5 best-selling board game on their site. ...read more

    To establish that there are some things too impossible for God to do. We will discuss three. Didn’t Jesus say: “There is nothing too impossible for God?” Yes, but Paul wrote: “It is impossible for God to lie." Can we reconcile this seeming error?

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. To save any outside the church 2. To forgive any without baptism 3. To show any respect of persons Remarks. 1.

     | 16,500 views

    What was the star that led the Wisemen to Jesus and what difference does that make to us today?

    OPEN: Years ago I wrote a song about the Wise Men. The first verse went this way “Out in the fields, watching the sky. Looking to heaven, searching on high. Troubled by things I’d seen on this earth, I knew that my answer lay with a child’s birth. For the prophecy said that a star in the sky, ...read more
