    Jesus Begins His Ministry

    Contributed by James Snyder on Mar 18, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,408 views

    The focus of the Holy Spirit is a ministry that accents the Jesus-factor in our daily life.

    Ministry is a very common topic among us who are Christians. We talk about it and believe that we are doing ministry for the Lord. Yet, very few people understand the dynamics involved in spiritual ministry. It is not like doing a job out in the world, although we have somehow made it like that. ...read more

    A focus on salt as a distinctive flavour and a preserving agent as a metaphor for Christian distinctiveness in a pluralistic world.

    Intro: We are taught by Jesus in this passage that we are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. But what do these words mean? It is important that we understand our purpose in this world and so we should endeavour to understand these metaphors that Jesus uses, that we might ...read more

    Finding Secuirty And Significance Series

    based on 75 ratings
     | 27,306 views

    When marriages crumble, we often hear people say that they just must have been “wrong” for each other. More often than not, being right or wrong for someone depends not on some mysterious compatibility quotient, but on how willing and able we are to help

    Finding Security and Significance There are a lot of jokes and one-liners about marriage. It’s probably because as beautiful as marriage is, as set forth in the song we just heard, it’s also extremely challenging and can be pretty ugly at times. It was George Burns who said, “I was married by a ...read more

    Sermon # 5 - No Fear In Obedience Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 4, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 917 views

    Jonah chose to disobey God and ended up in a tumultuous storm. Are we walking in obedience to God and His word or are we trying to compromise and please people? Here’s a word of caution from the life of Jonah that if God is against us, there is no one who can save us.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “Then the mariners were afraid,” (ESV) The mariners were filled with dread when they saw that the sea was so tumultuous and beyond their control. They therefore, feared that the ship would be wrecked, their goods destroyed and they would lose their lives in the process. I am ...read more
