Todays sermon has a "missions" focus in support of our World Mission Offering emphasis today. Using St. Paul's defense before King Agrippa in Acts 26:13-23 as the foundation for a call to serving the Kingdom of God, Paul says he was sent to serve and to witness by bringing light into darkness and the power of God to replace the power of Satan. The sermon shows that such a call has also been received by our missionaries tody in far away places. It also points out the today's missionaries flesh out Hudson Taylor's comment to "Expect great things from God; Attempt great things for God" Six video clips are used to show and tell in the missionaries own words how God is using them and making a difference in the world today.

Today's sermon is based on the parable of Jesus found in Matthew 13:1-17. It's the parable of the sower (sometimes called the parable of the soils.) Our foucs is of Jesus, the greatest storyteller who ever lived and the fact that his story is the greatest story ever told. We explore what THE STORY is, and then why that story is important to us today. The "what?", "What for?" are followed by the "So What?" and the challenge to tell the story today not only in song, but through our lives. Our word is hungry for "stories" and Jesus' Story is life giving. (click here) http://www.seaviewbaptist.com/podcast/20071014.mp3

Today's sermon is based on Mark 10:46-52. The story of the healing of the blind man, Bartimaeus. "When Faith Heals" explores the faith of the man who seemed to know and see Jesus better than even his disciples did. Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" Bartimaeus knew his answer and was willing to take the consequences. The question for us today is two-fold: 1) De we know what we want Jesus to do for us? and 2) are we willing to live with the consequences if and when He does it. The role of faith is vital.

This week's sermon is titled, "Therefore... " (Part 2). It continues the thoughts of the previous sermon on Romans 12. this message is based on Romans 12:9-31. Paul provides a series of challenges for christian living for relating with those inside the church, outside the church, and the world at large. the challenges often seem impossible to accomplish on our own, and they are, but with the help of Christ's Spirit we can atempt them with some success. The sermon walks through the text verse by verse and ends with the challenge of verse 31, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Paul has many "sound bites of wisdom" that describe the life of one willing to be transformed by the renewing of our minds" when we allow the "mercies of Christ" to become a part of our being.
