    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Mar 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,080 views

    There is no greater example of humility, servanthood, and ultimate exaltation than Jesus Christ. In a world obsessed with status, power, and recognition, the Bible calls us to a different path—the path of humility, sacrifice, and obedience.

    Go! And Imitate Christ—The Call to Humility and Exaltation - Philippians 2:6–11 Introduction: The Greatest Example of Humility and Glory There is no greater example of humility, servanthood, and ultimate exaltation than Jesus Christ.

    The Belt Of Truth Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 12, 2014
     | 6,432 views

    The Belt of Truth supports us in the daily battles of life, in a world where Truth is relative, where people make their own truth. God's word is truth that provides direction and ultimately victory.

    “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.” Are you properly equipped for battle? When I deployed to Iraq, an essential item of issued equipment was my web belt, which we call our “battle rattle.” It doesn’t seem important, yet on it ...read more

    Directed to students, on relationships within the family and the family structure that governs those relationships.

    How many of you can think of a time when you were embarrassed by your family?… mom, dad, brother, sister … we can even go out into aunts, uncles, and cousins if you want to. I remember when I was in the 3rd grade, my mom, sisters, and myself were out doing something … probably shopping or ...read more

    Says Who? Series

    Contributed by Andy Stanley on Sep 18, 2009
    based on 34 ratings
     | 34,093 views

    The second in a series of messages on the topic of an invisible "unseen" world that impacts our visible world. This sermon focuses on authority, submission, and rebellion.

    Rebellion equals freedom. We didn’t actually know how to say it like that, but that’s the premise from which we operated from the time we were about 12 or 13 years old, right? It just made sense. The best way to get free is to rebel against the rules, or ignore all the rules, because as long as I ...read more

    A Very Special "I Am” Of John’s Gospel – "Ego Eimi” – "I, I Am” – So Much Comfort In It – Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 31, 2022
     | 2,775 views

    We will look at the marvellous "I AMs" of John’s Gospel, which mean “I, I am.” It stamped the authority of Jesus as the Elohim of the Old Testament. It's used in John 6 where the disciples battled the storm and Jesus drew near with the assurance and authority of “I, I AM”.

    A VERY SPECIAL “I AM” OF JOHN’S GOSPEL – “EGO EIMI” – “I, I AM” – SO MUCH COMFORT IN IT – PART 1 SHORT INTRODUCTION In John’s Gospel there are found very crucial sayings of the Lord Jesus all containing “I AM”. These relate to His Person and work and ministry. They are essential for our faith. ...read more

    Building The Community Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 16, 2019
     | 5,947 views

    Nehemiah's ultimate concern is the remnant of God. He works to rebuild the community of God in Jerusalem. We see the faithfulness of God in keeping a faithful remnant and restoring His people.

    Jerusalem was to be the city of God, where the Name of the Lord dwells. • It wasn’t the physical infrastructure that God was concerned about but the community of His people living in worship of Him and being a witness to the nations. • So the brick and mortar of the city of Jerusalem wasn’t an end ...read more

    The Heavenly Trio

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 3, 2015
     | 4,602 views

    The Trinity is a mystery, but this does not mean a riddle. Instead, the Trinity is a reality above our human comprehension that we may begin to grasp, but ultimately must know through worship, symbol and faith.

    Most of you have probably heard the legends about St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. One particular legend, which is based on fact, is his understanding of the concept of the Trinity. In his personal confession, he wrote: For there is no other God, nor ever was before, nor shall be ...read more

    A Bible study series that addresses the authority of the Believer regarding spiritual warfare and the power of the enemy and answers the question, "Can A Christian Have A Demon"?

    Great debate began taking place during the middle of the last century within Christianity as to whether or not a genuine Born-Again Christian can be demon possessed. When asked “can a Christian have a demon?” I always reply, “Why would they want one?!” The debate revolved primarily around the ...read more

    God Is In Control Series

    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jan 5, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,360 views

    To believe that God is in control is huge (especially for us 'control freaks'). It takes a lot of faith and even more surrender, but when taken by faith it opens up a world of peace and hope.

    I must admit that at the moment I write this, my faith in God's sovereignty is being tested so severely, I struggle to finish the first paragraph.* I wish I could say the great truth of God's sovereignty was a bedrock of my life - but I confess to have great trouble accepting it - much less ...read more

    God has the power to compel the strongest opposition to yield and submit. No enemy, spiritual or physical, can withstand His authority when He rises to fight for His people.

     | 11,622 views

    An examination of the meeting of Jesus and Pontius Pilate and the lessons that can be gained from their encounter, concerning the nature of civil authority and our relationship to it.

    The Jewish authorities wanted Jesus dead but were unwilling to kill Him themselves because they did not wish to lose favor with the common people who believed in Jesus. They wanted Rome to do it. They wanted Rome to take the blame. The evil Jewish authorities played Pontius Pilate like a fiddle to ...read more
