    The Promise Of The Spirit Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 5, 2009
    based on 27 ratings
     | 24,230 views

    This promise of the Paraclete brings further clarity to the role of the Spirit, since now He is described specifically as the “Holy Spirit.” The Holy Spirit is the interpreter of God to us & the One who brings God’s peace to us.

    JOHN 14: 25-31 THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT [Philippians 4: 6-7] This section continues to prepare Jesus’ disciples for His departure and its consequences for them. The consequences of Jesus’ departure are not to be sorrowful but a release of blessings. For unless Jesus leaves the Spirit of God ...read more

     | 21,360 views

    If you were pressed to compromise your convictions or the commitments you have made to God would you have the courage to stand by those commitments and your convictions? The Rechabites provide an example for us to follow.

    COMMITMENT ON TRIAL JEREMIAH 35:1-11 Introduction: If you were pressed to compromise your convictions or the commitments you have made to God would you have the courage to stand by those commitments and your convictions?

    A Mother's A Mother All Of Her Life

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 13, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,275 views

    Preached in 1989. The Holy Spirit, like mothers, is stubborn. He will accomplish what He sets out to do, as mothers do not abandon their children; so we must not give up on each other but must become motherlike.

    There’s just something about mothers -- they are without a doubt the stubbornest people on God’s green earth. Mothers are stubborn, mothers stick with it, mothers stay with something until the cows come home. Mothers are persistent, mothers are consistent ... I think I said it best at the ...read more

    How The Church Must Live According To The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 7, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,733 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

    The Godly Portrait Of Marriage, Pt. 3

    Contributed by Dave Kinney on Sep 20, 2008
    based on 17 ratings
     | 3,787 views

    The reason submission is so important for a wife is because of this key: The wife who willingly submits to her husband’s leadership glorifies God.

    “Sweet Surrender” Let me sum up the perfect picture for marriage again: God wants each marriage to be a portrait of His love for His glory! Romans 11:36 “For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be all the glory forever.” Well, I knew today’s sermon was going to the hardest ...read more

    Your hands were not trained to tidy up a tent. Your hands were trained for war! In order to accomplish God’s purpose in your life you have to Get Out of Your Tent!

    The world believes it can produce goodness all by itself. The person listening to the man by the Jordan River hears a very different message. There appears to be two messages: one of self-righteousness and the other of total dependence on God for salvatio

    The Servant's Response!

    Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Nov 8, 2011
     | 4,952 views

    As Christians in the radically self promoting age we need to remind ourselves that we are not lords over God's heritage but His servants, and servants to our brethren in our ministry to glorify Christ.

    "If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of ...read more

    While “aspire to inspire before you expire” is a catchy, insightful one-liner, when it comes to the lives of numerous heroes’ of faith, it is how they expired with motivational words seemingly on their dying lips, which leaves an indelible impression in u
