Contributed by Sam Tollison on Dec 11, 2008

There is a difference in beleiving in God and believing God

Who Does This Jesus Think He Is?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 31, 2024

Friday of the Seventeenth Week in Course 2024 What Gospel do we sin-weakened, morally compromised people want to hear? It’s the Gospel of self-advancement, pleasure, total control over our lives and destiny, and unending wealth. It’s a Gospel unconcerned with other people, maybe the Gospel of Adam ...read more

Have Faith And Pray

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 5, 2015

Our Christian life is not to be confined to a closet. Our belief must be revealed in our practice. If we walk in Christ, then we must act as Christ would act because Christ is in us-our hopes, our love, our joy and our lives. We are Christ's reflection.

At first glance, the reading from Hosea 1:2-10 doesn't seem to make sense. Would God really ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? Well, the answer is yes he can, and yes he did. You see, this was part of God's plan, and we all know that God's ways are not our ways, and sometimes God's ways don't ...read more

I Still Believe Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jul 30, 2009

I Still Believe Sept 7, 2008 Zech 8:1-8 Intro: I think I used to be more of a dreamer. I was never a pure idealist, with a grand vision of the perfect future “if only…”, but I have been close. I remember studying Romans 6 and hearing the Holy Spirit loudly saying “YES! It IS possible for you ...read more

Understanding God’s Purpose

Introduction: Our theme for today’s sermon is “understanding God’s purpose”. There is always a purpose behind everything that is invented or created. There is a purpose for inventing electricity.

Contributed by Dean Courtier on May 6, 2025

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Mar 26, 2025

Everything lies ahead of them. 2 Everything is the same for everyone: there is one fate for the righteous and the wicked, ...read more

No Other Name: Jesus Christ The Only Saviour – Acts 4:11–12 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jan 5, 2026

We live in an age that celebrates choice, plurality, and personal truth. The loudest virtue of the 21st century is tolerance, and the greatest sin, it seems, is to say, “This is the only way.” At the heart of Christianity is an uncompromising declaration: Jesus Christ is the only Saviour

Contributed by David Smith on Nov 14, 2007

Racial unity within the church is our calling, our mission and in many ways our message, for it is through our multi-coloured yet integrated community of love that the world...

Is Time To Silence Familiar Spirits In The Church - Acts 16: 16 – 24

Contributed by Godspower Elishason on May 9, 2011

This message is about the present day proliferation in the body of Christ of so called prophets

From the above scripture you can see Apostle Paul’s stands against familiar spirits. Is high time for us to wake up to the challenges of our time. Though there may be casualties in the process but we can’t stand aloof and see the devil reducing the intergrity of God’s word, the ...read more

Paul's Model Of Pastoral Care (Acts 20:28-31)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 13, 2024

In the book of Acts, the apostle Paul leaves the city of Ephesus for the last time. In his farewell to the elders of the church, he summarized his work both as a fellow elder and fellow servant of the Lord Jesus Christ

In Acts 20, Paul was about to leave Ephesus and the church he helped to plant. For over three years, he and his fellow elders in the faith worked together to proclaim the message of salvation in Jesus Christ alone. He also spent considerable time teaching the Word of God and sound doctrine ...read more
