    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 7, 2010
    based on 24 ratings
     | 11,977 views

    Why is the F*** word and and the Sh** word used so freely today? Jesus doesn’t directly include this in what He says about oaths in Matthew 5 but it is there by way of application and other passages enlarge on this area of sin, so I am taking a detour.

    What’s the big deal about missions? Why does it matter if people hear about Jesus? Aren’t all religions the same? This message takes a look at a historic mountain top experience and asks Does it really does matter what you believe?

    Last Sunday we collected an Easter Offering for World Evangelism. The idea behind it was that thousands of churches around the world collect an offering, twice a year, and the money is used to support the hundreds of missionaries around the world. • And two people from our own congregation are ...read more

    The Name Of Jesus Creates A Strong Response

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,635 views

    People can talk about virtually anything, but when you bring up the name of Jesus, it creates such strong response. People are either drawn near or they are repelled. Why? Because the very name of Jesus has power and when His Word is spoken it has authori

    I don’t know about you, but Hollywood ticks me off.

    Psychologists refer to the trait of not wanting someone to be part of their "flock" the "Black Sheep Effect". Jesus could have told His parable using a black sheep (because the sinners He worked with were that), but He didn’t. Were there reasons why He di

     | 3,433 views

    Even with all that we have in America, I want to show you why it is still important to ask God to provide our daily needs. When we ask God for something, we are acknowledging that He is the source of what we need and that He owns everything.

    Purpose: To explain the importance of asking God to supply our daily needs. Aim: I want the listeners to see how dependent they are on God for everything. INTRODUCTION: Today we are looking at the first of three requests for personal needs in what we call the Lord's Prayer. The first personal ...read more

    If I’m not saved by works (Ephesians 2:8-9), why is it that the Rich man in Luke 16 and the Goats in Matthew 25:31-46 went to hell because the DIDN’T DO good works? That doesn’t make any sense... or does it?

    A Sunday School teacher had spent a great deal of teaching her young class about the fact that doing “good works” could not buy them a place in heaven. To drive home her point she asked her class, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would I ...read more

    "Living with Confidence in God" is an exposition of Psalm 23. The point of the message is that God is worthy of your trust. It offers three reasons why God is worthy of your trust: (1) God watches over those who trust in him. (2) God walks with those who

    A book I read once was called "Good Grief" and it said that something good can come from losing a loved one. Jesus said to His disciples on the mountain,"Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted". Why did Jesus teach this to His Disciples?
