  • Slavery

    Contributed by Michael Russell on Jan 12, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,465 views

    A description and defense of the Old Testament’s laws on slavery; Jesus as the one who saves us from slavery to sin

    Slavery Last week, we looked at the letter to Philemon, a letter about a slave. So this week, I thought we’d look in more depth at slavery. See, you’ll often hear this attack on the bible: the bible’s for slavery, and it’s wrong on that. So why listen to anything the bible says? If it gets ...read more

  • Always Open!

    What does it mean for us that the "Stone was rolled away"?

    Always Open Have you ever set out on a journey not knowing what was in store? I remember when I was very young our family would catch a bus each year for our summer holiday. I had no idea where we were going or what it would be like when we got there. I suspect that some of the younger ones here ...read more

  • How Do I Measure Up?

    Contributed by Lew Slade on Dec 22, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,317 views

    Is it really the good works of the "sheep" that will secure their salvation?

    How do I measure up? I don’t think I can be accused of exaggerating if I say that this is one of the most difficult passages of scripture in the entire Bible (Matthew 25: 31-46). It’s what teenagers today might call “in your face”. It confronts and challenges us at the very core of our being; it ...read more

  • Life Isn't Fair!

    Contributed by Lew Slade on Dec 22, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,209 views

    If God is just why is life so unfair?

    Life isn’t fair? “Life isn’t fair!” How often have you heard those words spoken? We read ‘unfair’ news stories everyday. Widows and pensioners defrauded of their life savings; young women attacked and raped; young men killed or maimed in car accidents; refugees from yet another war in Africa dying ...read more

  • Action And Reaction

    Contributed by Lew Slade on Dec 22, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,395 views

    Why is it that we so often look for the negative in situations and fall back on fault-finding and grumbling?

    Action and Reaction I am not a scientist by any stretch of the imagination but I have, for some unknown reason, always remembered since my school-going days Sir Isaacs Newton’s third law of motion. I know that all of you are thoroughly familiar with it – but just in case you’ve momentarily ...read more

  • A "Why's" Man

    Contributed by Lew Slade on Dec 22, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,981 views

    What can we learn from Joseph’s response to the angel’s message?

    A “Why’s” man I wonder how many of you would hazard a guess as to which word I find the most troublesome in the English language? Despite its diminutive size it’s a word that has plagued me most of my life. It’s the word ‘why?’ Any of you who have ever been parents have, I’m sure, wished on more ...read more

  • A Faith Of Paradoxes

    A deeper understanding of Jesus final prayer for his disciples - and us.

    A Faith of Paradoxes I wonder how many of you have ever tried to reverse your car with a trailer hitched to the back. It’s not easy, and I’m sure many of us have got some amusing or expensive stories to tell. The problem is that if you want the trailer to go to the right you have to turn the ...read more

  • What In The World Is Happening

    Contributed by Lew Slade on Dec 22, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,948 views

    What is there left to trust in a world that appears to be in complete meltdown?

    What in the world is happening? Over the past few weeks, despite some ups and downs, investors around the world have lost over 70 trillion Rand! That’s 70 with 12 noughts added or, to put it another way, it’s over 20 times greater than the value of all goods and services produced in South Africa ...read more

  • What Is Faith

    Contributed by Christopher Howitz on Dec 13, 2008
     | 2,837 views

    A call to copy the faith of our team-mates in the cross-country relay race of life... looking to God and trusting Him through the mud and the pain... because we have another city and different treasure... a prize that is worth the struggle.

    Intro… The title I’ve got for you today is, “What is faith?” Hopefully by the end of what I’ve got to say, we’ll not only know what faith is, but we will be able to live it. And to help us along the road we’re going to have assistance from two old pros who we’re going to meet shortly. Hebrews… The ...read more

  • The Law Of Love Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,404 views

    But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord you

    We’re in Matthew 22, and Jesus is brawling! To be exact, we’re in the last round of a three-round brawl, where over the chapter in Matthew’s Gospel we’ve seen Jesus do battle with a group known as ‘the Herodians’, followed by a round with the Sadducees, followed by this week’s third and deciding ...read more

  • To Err Is Human. To Forgive Is Crazy! Series

     | 3,510 views

    Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven. (Matthew 18:21-22)

    Jesus said, “the Kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.” And he found a guy who owed him 50 billion dollars! Now that’s a round figure of course. I may be a few dollars out. The original text says the man owed him ten thousand talents, which is ...read more

  • All You Need Is Love Series

    Contributed by David Smith on Nov 18, 2008
     | 3,047 views

    "Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, ’You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet’; and any other commandment, are summed

    I’ve decided to speak this morning on one of the most unnerving and threatening pieces of Scripture I’ve ever come across - threatening and unnerving at least for professional clerics like myself (people who get paid to teach the Bible). The passage is from Paul’s letter to the church at Rome, ...read more

    A Sunday morning sermon examining humility

    -Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble when you are prefect in every way. I doubt any of us think that we are perfect it is not always easy for us to be humble. After all humility gets rather a bad press, When we speak for example humble origins, humble means poor or ordinary or it might bring to ...read more

  • The Radical Gospel

    Contributed by Ian Lyall on Oct 11, 2008
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,517 views

    Is the Gospel we preach, and the God we preach the same as Paul had preached to the Thessalonians in AD 49?

    The first epistle to the Thessalonian, of which we just heard the first chapter, is the earliest of Paul’s writings. We read in Acts chapter 17 of his visit to Thessalonica (modern-day Salonika) in the year 49; of how he preached in the synagogue for two Sabbaths, but was then driven from the city ...read more

  • Respectable Sins - Pride Series

    Contributed by Alan Mccann on Oct 6, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,725 views

    Pride is the most subtle of all sins because it feeds on our good points, normally!

    Respectable Sins – Pride What are you most proud of? Do you take pride in your work? Are you proud of your children? Pride comes into so many areas of our lives and yet very few of us would like to overhear someone say of us: “They are a proud person.” You see Pride really is one of the most ...read more
