An old-fashioned, narrow-minded, fossilized person! (J.C. Ryle, "Needs of the Times!" 1879)  There is a common complaint in these days, that there is a lack of power in Christianity, and that the church does not shake the world as it did in former years. Shall I tell you what the reason is, in plain words? It is the low tone of life which is so sadly prevalent among professing believers. I

Habakkuk Chapter 1:1-17 One of the modern day “Christian myths” is that when you put your faith and trust in Christ the problems that you would find in a good country song seem to done away with. The sad reality and error to that kind of thinking is that your problems don’t all of a sudden go away! The biblical truth to God’s salvation is that our internal spiritual problem is over with

Matt 19:16-26 What keeps people so distracted or tied down that they never embrace the cross of forgiveness? • Is it pride? • Is it lack of understanding? • Is it ignorance? • Is it selfishness? • Is it unconcerned to future things? • Is it hatred towards the things of God? You could say yes to all those things mentioned above! But there is something that God has spoken against since the

Col 4:2-4 Does prayer play an important part in your life? Before you answer that question listen to what some of the late great preachers had to say about the importance of prayer. Charles Spurgeon said! “We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be evident in our lives. If He has said much about prayer, it is because He knows we have much need of it.

COL 3:18-21 The family is a wonderful gift from God to this earth! But something tragically is happening to the family today! It’s falling apart because we are not listening to God and His instruction for the family.

Col 1:24-29 A promising artist once painted a picture of the Last Supper. He took it to the writer Tolstoy for his opinion. Carefully and understandingly the Russian master of words studied the canvas. Then pointing to the central Figure, he declared “you do not love Him.” .......“Why that is the Lord Jesus Christ,” explained the artist! ”I know,” insisted Tolstoy, “but you don’t love Him. If

Col 1:1-14 What does it mean when we use the word supreme? By definition supreme means....highest in authority; holding the highest place in government or power. In the United States, the congress is supreme in regulating commerce and in making war and peace. In our country of Canada we have our House of Parliament who governs over us. The parliament of Great Britain is supreme in legislation;

What does it mean to be gripped by God and His wonderful glory? 1. His unfailing love and mercy to creation and His called out ones (me and you) “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” Ps 136:1 2. A Christian can find a deep seated joy and comfort when we are faced with a world that looks like it’s spiralling out of control. “God is our refuge and

Psalm 136:1-26 In 1715 King Louis the 14th of France died after a reign of 72 years. He had called himself “the Great,” and was the monarch who made the famous statement, “I am the state!” His court was the most magnificent in Europe, and his funeral was equally spectacular. As his body lay in state in a golden coffin, orders were given that the cathedral should be very dimly lit with only a

Coldness and lukewarmness in the ways of God, are peculiarly offensive to our Lord and Savior; for if anyone deserves our whole hearts, if anyone ought to have the whole of our energies--it is Jesus! We should be zealous for the truth of the gospel. It is God's mind. It is the revelation of the Savior's love. It is the remedy for the sinner's woes. It is the charter of the Church's

How Do We Know If We Love Christ? This is really a good question to ask ourselves! J. C. Ryle writes.......... 1.If we love a person, we like to think about him. We do not need to be reminded of him. We do not forget his name or his appearance or his character or his opinions or his tastes or his position or his occupation... Well, it is just so between the true Christian and Christ! 2.If

Psalm 145:1-21 What is the one thing a great majority of us have done to tell someone else about who we are? The Answer: A RESUME! See, resumes are very important especially if you’re applying for a job. Resumes give information about the character of an individual. Resumes help the employer to make the right decisions when it comes to hiring the best person for the job. Resumes are like a short

   Psalm 51:1-19 "In 1982, “ABC Evening News” reported on an unusual work of modern art—a chair affixed to a shotgun. It was to be viewed by sitting in the chair and looking directly into the gun barrel. The gun was loaded and set on a timer to fire at an undetermined moment within the next hundred years. The amazing thing was that people waited in lines to sit and stare into the shell’s path!

Psalm 53:1-11 ARE YOU A FOOL? Before you can answer that question we need to define what it mean to be a fool? Because to be called one doesn't seem to be a compliment or an encouraging word! The definition of a “fool” is simply someone who is S. T.U. P. I .D The word “fool” is used to describe a senseless act or someone who is wicked. The word “fool” is used 569 times throughout the Old and

A God Too Small? by Charles R. SwindollRead Exodus 19:1--15So deep, so profound must be this respect for God's holy presence that no one was even to touch the mountain. The people were to wait upon God to speak to Moses and hear the Lord's words through the Lord's servant. What a needed reminder! This story makes it clear that we live in a day of pitifully shallow concepts of God. Some of

A preacher began to pray with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..."He would have continued, but at that moment one very obedient little girl (who was listening carefully) leaned over to her mother and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, "Mommy, WHAT is butt dust?"....Church was pretty much over at that point. The things that

John 20:26-31 "There was a man named Cornelius who was a truck driver that hauled cows. He hauled live cows, and he also hauled dead cows. Some of his funniest stories were about the dead animals he had to haul. He had to haul things from dead cows, to horses and donkeys. He received a phone call on April 1st. The guy who called said to him, “Yeah, I have a dead elephant for you to pick up in

Luke 19:24-44 Many years ago, during the Cold War, Stuart Briscoe traveled to Poland for several weeks of itinerant ministry. One winter day his sponsors drove him in the dead of night to the middle of nowhere. He walked into a dilapidated building crammed with one hundred young people. And realized it was a unique opportunity.Through an interpreter Stuart preached from John 15 on abiding in

A Preacher on the FenceFrom out of the millions of the earthGod often calls a manTo preach the word, and for the truthTo take a royal stand."Tis sad to see him shun the cross,Nor stand in its defenseBetween the fields of right and wrong:A preacher on the fence. Before him are the souls of menBound for Heaven or Hell;An open Bible in his hand,And yet he will not tellAll the truth that's written

Phil 4:4-7  In light of current events and the news that has hit my ears or eyes over the past week. It can be very hard to rejoice and find joy at times like this? TAKE FOR EXAMPLE: • A close friend sister in-law lost her baby to a miscarriage this past week. • I visited a brother from this church at the hospital as we discussed funeral arrangements. • A good friend who I grew up with and

PHIL 4:1-3 There is nothing quite like being a part of a large group of people who have the same passion for something! Take a sporting event for example! It’s the finals and your favourite team is playing in the Stanley Cup and they are one game away from holding up the Lord Stanley to display their conquering win.The feeling is electric.....you can almost feel the passion and energy coming

In light of what Paul said to the church of Philppi, this is where our hope lives and waits with eagerness........This is where He is and this is where the Christian presses on for.........to be with the One who saved me from myself. SDG

Phil 3:17-21 What kind of person are you drawn too? Are you drawn to people who live and display a life that loves our Savior Jesus Christ? Do you find yourself drawn to the things and people of this world? Which of the 2 are easier? Answer: It would have to be following after the world pursuits of life. It’s much easier to hid yourself in this world than it would be to stand out.The culture

Phil 3:12-16 What does an exemplified Christian Life look like? It’s a Christian life that is not an imitator or actor playing a role but the mind and heart of Christ. It’s a Christian life that is sensitive to lost people around them. It’s a Christian life that displays Christ as their greatest treasure. It’s a Christian life that will never compromise for the sake of fitting into this

Phil 3:1-11 Do you wish you could go back to the way things were in your life? Do you wish you could have your old life back again? Are you constantly looking back into the past because you miss the way things where? If that’s the case then what does (v7-8) really mean to you at this point in your life? Paul look back at all his accolades........all his trophies and lined them up beside God and

Phil 3:1-11 I know Mike Andrews.....I know him really well...and I’m sure you can say the same thing about yourself! I know what my passions are. I know what my desires are. I know what I like and dislike. I know what I’m capable of. I know what can so easily distract me. I know that I am a sinner who needs to be put into submission every day by a holy God. I know that in me nothing good

Phil 2:17-30 Sometimes things can be a really overwhelming! So overwhelming you begin to think about quitting the very thing that is causing you so much pain and agony. Even people can cause you to feel overwhelmed by expecting so much from you at times! Let me explain.........You’re a person working on the farm and you’ve worked really hard and the boss comes out at the end of the busy season

By J.C. Ryle There is such a place as Hell. Let no one deceive you with vain words. What people do not like--they try hard not to believe. When the Lord Jesus Christ comes to judge the world, He will punish all who are not His disciples with a fearful punishment! All who are found unrepentant and unbelieving; all who have clung to sin; all who have set their affections on worldly things; all who
