    JUDGMENT AND HOPE IN THE PREACHING OF JOHN. Matthew 3:1-12.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,435 views

    God’s delays are not denials. God will not fail to fulfil that which He has promised.

    THE CERTAINTY OF THE PROMISE. Genesis 15:7-21. The priest-king Melchisedec knew God Most High, maker of heaven and earth (Genesis 14:18-19). This same God had led Abram out of his father’s house, and now identified Himself as “the LORD” - the One who was, and is, and continues to be (Genesis ...read more

    Through The Promises Of Jesus 2nd Coming Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Dec 28, 2019
     | 4,766 views

    Joy is found in believing the Promises of God from the Bible and as we progress to the New Year there is a sense of expectation about the future for most. But there should also be an expectation and excitement about the possibility of Jesus second coming in 2020.

    Opening video illustration – If Jesus returned today – by skit guys. Series: Find Joy in the Journey in 2019 Thesis of series: Joy needs to be experienced in the journey of life! But Joy, like any other attitude, can come and go. It is not guaranteed simply because we are born again believers. We ...read more

    Not Through Law

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 13, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,001 views

    When we believe in the God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, our faith also will be accounted as righteousness.

    NOT THROUGH LAW. Romans 4:13-25. The Apostle Paul has already established that Abraham was not justified (made righteous) by works, otherwise he would have grounds of boasting - and who can boast before God? (Romans 4:2). Neither was Abraham justified by circumcision, since that rite was not ...read more

     | 2,171 views

    Jesus invites us to come under his sheltering wings, but he cannot force us; we must be willing

    Luke 13:31-35 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our strength, and our redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14). We hear in the Gospel that Jesus refers to Herod as "that fox" (Luke 13:32). This is a symbolic reference to 'the ...read more

    The power of the glory to come.

    TRANSFIGURATION. Mark 9:2-9. “After six days” Peter, James, and John were drawn aside “into a high mountain apart” (Mark 9:2).

    Elisha addresses two situations: on the one hand, economic bondage; on the other, childlessness.

    THE WIDOW AND THE GREAT WOMAN. 2 Kings 4:1-17. These accounts show Elisha to be a worthy successor to Elijah, and his miracles anticipate the compassionate ministry of Jesus. 1. The Widow.

    Towards Sanctification.

     | 133 views

    God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7).

    TOWARDS SANCTIFICATION. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. As Paul approaches the subject of “sanctification” (cf. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:3; 1 THESSALONIANS 4:4), he encourages his readers on their “walking” and “pleasing God” so far; but also “beseeches” and “exhorts” them “in the Lord Jesus” to “abound more ...read more

    THE SECRET OF THE LORD. Psalm 25:14-22. “The secret of the LORD” (PSALM 25:14a). This speaks of the friendship, the intimate fellowship that the believer has with the LORD.
