    Intro: EXPANDING OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE EXPANSE. 1. In a 1960’s musical, King Arthur declares by decree that Camelot Canada is the perfect climate all year round! The decree goes: "It’s true!

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,381 views

    In our corrupt and chaotic world, we as Christians must be careful not to lose our proper perspective, both on our world, and ourselves. We must remember who and what we are.

    Acknowledging What We Are Text: I Cor.15: 9, 10 Intro: We live at a point in time that could be labeled as both exciting and exasperating. It is exciting because we are literally witnessing the coming together of events that point to the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is also ...read more

    Why Geckos Go To Church Series

    Little lizards crawl around church building in Asia and no one seems to mind because everyone knows that they are harmless and they catch bugs that are harmful. Not a bad work ethic.

    We are looking at the book of Proverbs. Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own. Remember last week we met two women who live in the pages of the book of Proverbs: Lady Wisdom and Madame Folly. The final question is: who are you going to ...read more

    Why God Chooses Man?

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Sep 7, 2017
     | 9,960 views

    No man has the capacity to choose God. And none can explain why God makes choices in the first place. It follows that He must choose those that will show His praise and glory.

    Chosen of God Text: Ephesian 1:1-4 Who can explain Christianity? Any man that claims to have the answer is grossly mistaken. Christianity that can be explained is not real but lacking the substance of truth. Christianity has a depth and height that no man can fathom. Moreover, today’s sermon is ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,905 views

    Why are you a follower of JESUS? Is it because of His claims and promises. Is it because of His signs and wonders. Or is it because He is the only source to fill the need of your life.

    Title: Why People Follow Jesus Text: John 6:35, 47-54, 60-69 Introduction: 1. Some because they like what he said Luke 6:20-23 "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

     | 20,276 views

    When we sort through the implications of our choices, be they major or minor, how does a relationship with Jesus Christ figure into the equation? There is perhaps no greater choice facing us each and every day of our life than this choice. If you decide n

    based on 18 ratings
     | 17,467 views

    Why does God want us to contend for signs and wonders and healings and miracles in the church, and how do we see more of them in our lives?

    SUPERNATURAL #5: WHY SIGNS AND WONDERS? INTRO TO THEME: • This is our fifth week in the book of Acts, and we will continue studying through this book of the Bible until the Lord releases us to move on to something else. • The theme of the Book of Acts is found in Acts 1:8: “But you shall ...read more

     | 2,538 views

    One of the things that confuses many Christians is the attitude of non-Christians toward them. Even in the United States we experience backlash against us as Christians.

    Suffering is a part of the Christian life no one really enjoys. In the book of 1st Peter, the apostle explains to us why suffering is a part of our life, and God’s purpose in it.

    Passage: 1Peter 1:1-9 Intro: number of months, been intrigued with the topic of suffering. 1. few things produce more frustration, few things produce such amazing growth in Christlikeness 2. my journey towards understanding has involved a few of you, class on Job 3. that class served to open ...read more

    Why Paul Preached The Gospel

    Contributed by Keith Linkous on Jun 22, 2002
    based on 71 ratings
     | 5,574 views

    Paul said, "Woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel." This not only speaks to ministers, but confronts the laity of their responsibility to share the good news.

    I want to spend a few minutes tonight looking at this verse, even dissecting it a little bit, to bring it into an applicable understanding for all of us. Because when we read words like “preach,” and we do not have a life calling to stand in a pulpit like myself, we can sometimes shrink back ...read more
