Prayer And The Lord's Prayer

Contributed by David Mcnally on Feb 24, 2014

The Lord's Prayer is not a 'carved in stone' set of words that we must use, but is a good guide for how to talk to God, Who wants us to pour out of hearts to Him, but not to try to impress others by our long and fancy words and 'super-spirituality'.

Matthew 6 verses 5 – 13 PRAYING and THE LORD'S PRAYER Jesus based his teachings, and advice, and especially his parables on things, events and situations, that would be instantly recognisable and understandable to the people He was addressing. So, when He said ‘When you pray, do not ...read more

Secular Salvation Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Secular salvation gets nobody into heaven, but it is often the stepping-stone on the way to eternal salvation. Every time we experience secular salvation we are given the opportunity to do for Christ what we could not do if we were not so spared

Resurrection Series

Contributed by Rob O'neal on Apr 6, 2016

Women hoping to tend to Jesus’ body went to his tomb. The stone closing the entrance was rolled aside. They met an angel announcing that Jesus had been raised from the dead. This event set in motion our own final salvation.

Easter started in darkness. Jesus had been buried quickly but compassionately after he died on Friday afternoon. With permission from the Roman governor, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, two Jewish religious leaders who quietly followed Jesus, took Jesus’ body down from the cross, carried ...read more

Expectations

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 24, 2020

What are you expecting? One thing I do know if you expect nothing you’ll hit that mark every time! Expectation qualifies you for receivership. It transfers you from the masses who need miracles...to the chosen who receive them.

The Bi-Polar Possibilities Of Motherhood

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 12, 2008

Not your typical Mother’s Day sermon. From our perspective, motherhood -- or parenthood in general -- is an open-ended proposition. But godly mothers have chosen to take the risks and walk with God through times both good and bad.

The Bi-Polar Possibilities of Motherhood (Ruth, passim) 1. Nothing is quite as sweet as the attachment most children have to their mother. 2. One evening after dinner, my five-year-old son Brian noticed that his mother had gone out. In answer to his questions, I told him, "Mommy is at a ...read more

What You See May Not Be The Truth

Contributed by Paul George on Jun 9, 2006

Because of our tendency to pass quick and critical judgment on others, our Lord has chosen to address this issue. Chapter 7 verses 1-12 addresses an issue plaguing the religion of Jesus’ day and of ours, that of misdirected effort.

What You See May Not Be The Truth Matthew 7:1-12 A while back, I read the very distressing account of an incident in the life of a young bachelor.

One Last Chance Series

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 8, 2013

One Last Chance John 19:8–16 Introduction Last week we saw Pilate pronounce three times that he found no guilt in Jesus and tried to get Jesus released. First he tried to get the crowd to choose Barabbas. Then he tried the sympathy approach by having Jesus beaten up a bit and mocked by ...read more

The Other Cup Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 28, 2011

Which cup have you chosen to drink from? The love of God, poured out in Jesus Christ, is complete, unlimited and unmixed; the wrath of God is simply what’s left over when his love is refused.
