    I am truly discovering that life’s obstacles are truly opportunities for God to show just how awesome He really is. Obstacles give us God stories! Do you need a God story today?

    LIVING HOPE 1 Peter 1 My son asked, “If Sea World really loves animals, then why do they keep them captive?” What a deep question. Maybe you can relate. If someone loves you, then why are you still held captive? If people in your world love you when why do they keep you captive? ...read more

    This message helps the church ask why we do the acts of mercy we do? What is our motive? Last in a series of 4, we are reminded that all opportunities of service are to be done as though we are doing them for the Master Himself!

    Contributed by Aubrey Vaughan on Feb 5, 2010
     | 6,018 views

    This sermon unpacks lawful oaths and vows and we see it implications upon our lives who we are meant to be and also shows the opportunity we have if we step out in boldness and honour God by taking it for His honour and glory.

    Article 22: Lawful Oaths and Vows. “Let Your Yes mean Yes and Your No mean No.” 1. Firstly what is a vow? A vow is a solemn and promise made to God.

    It's interesting to me that Jesus called His disciples to leave the crowd and His disciples and they experience some spiritual warfare as they cross to the other side of the lake. Why would Jesus miss this opportunity, when He had a crowd gathered?

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - WHEN JESUS SKIPS OUT ON CHURCH, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! I remember as a young student Pastor being invited to a Church for afternoon tea. They said they wanted to pray for me. What I didn't realise is that they wanted to pray for me to be their Pastor. At the end ...read more

    Even though we once looked hideous to God in our sin, when we look to God and to Christ in faith, we look perfect and holy. Now we look for opportunities to hold up Jesus to be clearly seen by others.

    The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes. God desires that every person have an opportunity to respond to the gospel & call upon Him. Since Jesus Christ is Lord of all, the Gospel should be proclaimed to all.

    ROMANS 10: 13-17 THAT THE WORLD MAY HEAR [Romans 1:16-17] The preceding verses have been disproving that salvation is only for the Jews, or the chosen people. [The Scriptures have powerfully argued that eternal salvation is by faith in Christ and not by good works, heritage, or law keeping.] ...read more
