    Contributed by Alan Mccann on Oct 11, 2005
    based on 141 ratings
     | 21,339 views

    The freedom of forgiveness or the bondage of bitterness is a choice we make

    FREEDOM OF FORGIVENESS COLOSSIANS 3 VERSES 12-17 “I had a brother once, and I betrayed him.” With these words, African writer Laurens Van der Post begins a wonderful book The Seed and the Sower, (I recommend you read it). The story is of two brothers from small South African village. The elder ...read more

    Pick And Mix Faith

    Contributed by Paul Cull on Oct 10, 2005
    based on 17 ratings
     | 5,452 views

    The problems of a ’pick and mix’ approach to a relationship with God

    Exodus 32: 1-14 Pick and Mix Christianity One of the great mantras of current politics is the word ‘choice’. It seems that we must have choice in everything whether it’s the schools our children go to, or the hospitals we are treated in. Disappointingly, this idea of choice is strictly limited ...read more

    Marriage

    Contributed by Ian Lyall on Oct 6, 2005
    based on 2 ratings
     | 13,408 views

    Marriage is God’s design, and his ordinance form before the fall. Sex is involved; sex is designed for union of man and woman in marriage

    A man shall leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one Mark 10:7-8 Have you ever sat in a marriage service and wondered, "When are those two actually married?" At what point are they man and wife together? After ...read more

    Christian Character

    based on 66 ratings
     | 12,809 views

    A description of the characteristics of the Christian discipleship, and those things on which it rests

    As we listened to that passage from Colossians this morning, the first thing we heard Paul telling his readers to do was to clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, goodness and patience.. As we listened to that list of qualities various things could have gone through our minds. We ...read more

    Isaiah's Woes

    Contributed by Ian Lyall on Sep 28, 2005
    based on 20 ratings
     | 15,555 views

    In Isaiah 5, the prophet pronounces God’s coming judgment on a sinful society. Much of what Isaiah taught applies to the West today. We need to pray for forgiveness

    Isaiah 5:8-30 I think we might well call Isaiah’s fifth chapter the chapter of ’woes’! And for that reason we tend to skip it by. It’s all too judgmental and too depressing. We say we want something to cheer us on our way; we want something to lift our spirits. We don’t want all this judgemental ...read more

    Cleansing The Temple

    Contributed by Ian Lyall on Sep 28, 2005
    based on 20 ratings
     | 10,671 views

    As we see Jesus cleansing the Temple in Jerusalem, we learn that equally he is concerned to deal with the sin in our hearts

    We have read of that dramatic moment in the Gospel of John when Jesus first cleansed the temple. Having called his disciples to a more permanent relationship with himself, he left with them for Jerusalem to celebrate the first Passover as the acknowledged Messiah, the Promised One to come. Jesus ...read more

    The Unjust Steward Series

    Contributed by Ian Lyall on Sep 28, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,530 views

    Many people struggle with this well-known parable. Jesus seems to condone rather selfish, shady money-dealing. Actually the Gospel of forgiveness lies at its heart: are we ready to forgive?

    I don’t know about you, but I do have certainly difficulties with this parable. I’ve always tended to skirt around them, I must admit. But with this text in front of me for this morning I was forced to think about it more seriously. And I find that many of the problems are actually only on the ...read more

    Jesus Will Return

    Contributed by Ian Lyall on Sep 28, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,183 views

    That Jesus will return is a constant theme of the New Testament and a basic Christian teaching. His return could be near. Are we ready?

    I’ve read recently about an inscription on the Dome of the Capitol building in Washington. It’s placed where few can see it. It’s a line from the poet Tennyson: One far-off divine event to which all history moves. That ’one far-off divine event’ is the one we pray for every time we say ’Thy ...read more

    Grace

    Contributed by Ian Lyall on Sep 28, 2005
     | 16,943 views

    Grace is God giving us what we do not desereve. But do we really understand the magnitude and wonder of God’s grace?

    I would want to concentrate this evening on verses 42-45 of this passage. From those verses I would say: God wants us to live in His grace: He wants us to receive, experience and enjoy His grace and He wants us also to express His grace in our lives. Can I repeat that? God wants us to live in His ...read more

    Born Again

     | 8,600 views

    Jesus was visited by Nicodemus, who learns of the essential need to be born again. What does it mean to be ’born again’ What about us?

    Nicodemus was an expert. He was a religious expert. He knew what made for good religion, and he knew it all. His way of life, like many other of the Pharisees was pretty comfortable. He was respected and he’d even made it on to the ruling council. Life couldn’t get better. He was the ideal ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,889 views

    Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 is that his readers may be filled with God’s love and his power. We do not realise the full potential available to us

    We come to the third of our sermons on the Epistle to the Ephesians, and this morning it’s chapter three, verses 14 to 21. This is one of Paul’s prayers; the second he prays in this epistle for the Ephesian Christians. Here we see his love and his concern for these Christians; he’s worried for ...read more

    Brokenness

     | 10,587 views

    Isaiah is broken by his vision of God’s holiness, but is then cleansed and now fit as God’s messenger

    In that passage from Isaiah we heard this evening, we are presented with the vision the prophet had in the Temple of God in all his holiness, glory and majesty. That vision concludes in verse 8 with the call of Isaiah: Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go ...read more

    The renewing of our minds will transform how we live. Our daily walk in the christian life says a lot about what we feed our minds and hearts with

    Who am I?...In my Right Mind! Romans 12 verses 1-8 What do you think of yourself? In his book ‘When Men Think Private Thoughts’ Gordon MacDonald has two men playing a game at midnight. These two men are from completely different ends of the economic and social spectrum. One is a ...read more

    An Unfair God?

    Contributed by William Mouser on Sep 19, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,079 views

    In dispensing eternal life, God is just as gracious to the death-bed convert as he is one born and reared in the faith. Jesus’ parable of the Vineyard Workers shows us why.

    An Unfair God? Matthew 20:1-16 Somewhere in the Charlie Brown cartoon canon, there is an episode where Lucy and Charlie are walking home from school. Lucy has a report card in her hand and she is clearly not pleased. She turns to Charlie, and, complains: "It isn’t fair Charlie Brown, it just ...read more
