INTRODUCTION The letter of the apostle John had two purposes in writing this letter: (1) to expose and reject the doctrinal ethical errors of the false teachers, and (2) to exhort the Christians to pursue a life of fellowship with God characterized by truth. His main concern is for the ...read more

    Heart Bypass (1986)

    We are divided over whether to invest more in charity or more in the church program. A key element must be the compassion that gives from the core of our beings.

    It seems as though just about once a week someone will phone from one of the charity agencies -- the Purple Heart, the Good Will, the Disabled Veterans -- and I always know when they are calling, because they will ask for Mrs. Smith. Nobody asks for Mrs. Smith when they could ask for Margaret ...read more

     | 4,852 views

    In our society, sin has become a "bad word." In the name of tolorance, Christians are excusing their own sin and the sins of others. This sermon deals with the reality of Sin based on God's Inspired Word.

    INTRODUCTION: Psychologist Karl Menninger asked this most significant question: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SIN? This is a haunting question. It lingers with us, and must be addressed from the perspective of Holy Scripture, and with undaunting courage. * - TODAY, we want safe sex, so people in our ...read more

    The Christian And Sin

     | 9,258 views

    So what is to be the Christian's relationship to sin? Strictly speaking, he should not have such a relationship!

    THE CHRISTIAN AND SIN. 1 John 3:1-10. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 John 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other Scriptures, it was ‘while ...read more

    Why Do You Say Sin Is Inevitable When God Says It Isn’t?

    Contributed by David Leach on Feb 28, 2014
     | 5,795 views

    The sin I tolerate allows the devil to harm me and cuts me off from God’s power to stop it.

    Why do you say sin is inevitable when God says it isn’t? 1 John 3:5-6 And you know that He (Jesus) was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin... The sin I tolerate allows the devil to harm me and cuts me off from God’s power to ...read more

    John goes to great lengths at the start of this passage to assure us that we are members of God’s family now. It’s not how we live that guarantees us a place in God’s family. We are God’s family. But how we live shows that.

    Sermon by Rev George Hemmings For a while this was one of Sarah’s favourite photos. A few months ago she was sending it to everyone she could think of. Not because it was a great shot of one of our boys. In fact, it’s not a photo of Micah or Joshua at all. No, it’s a photo of ...read more

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 27, 2013
     | 14,322 views

    One of our most basic needs is to be loved. The lyrics of a classic song reflect this worldwide longing—“What the world needs now is love, sweet love, and that’s the only thing there’s too little of.” God has met this need in Christ.

    The love of God is more than we can understand, but he has lavished it upon us! How do we understand that, how do we respond to that?

    How great the Fathers love; lavished! There are some truly magnificent things that can happen in a person’s life. The foundations of true friendship as you meet people for the first time and you know that there will be a bond between you. I have friends like this that after years we can get ...read more

    The truth is, that how we live, matters to God! Christians are to keep in step with the Spirit and to walk in obedience to God's revealed will - but what's our motivation for doing so? Is it Law or is it Love? And why does it matter?
