     | 3,233 views

    How can we encourage those who are suffering?

    There was a study done in 2004 which found that the number of people without any close friends tripled since the last study in 1985. Nearly a quarter of the people surveyed said that they have no one in their life that they can confide in (America Sociological Review, June 1, 2006). We live in a ...read more

    The Mount Of Olives – The Priority Of The Great Commission (12/12) Series

    Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Oct 12, 2020
     | 2,277 views

    The urgent task and maximum priority of the Church is the fulfillment of our Lord’s final instruction. The Way of the Cross does not end at the crucifixion or with the resurrection. It ends 50 days after Passover with the Great Commission. We bleed evangelism.

    Message by Eddie Fernandes (Click series title) Introduction We end a 12-week journey today. We have been in a 3-month study on the Stations of the Cross. We did not follow the traditional 14 stations. We will also not end at Calvary, as most traditions do. Let me remind you of the 11 places we ...read more

    Jesus is God in the flesh. He wants us to believe in Him and for people to submit to His authority with genuine faith.

    “The Authority of Jesus” John 2:18-25 One Sunday a visitor showed up: - to a more formal, liturgical church - than he was used to attending.

    This is a sermon series for the six Sundays of Lent. I am using a wooden "Tau" cross on the platform and some examples of the instruments of torture the Romans used - a large spike, scourge/cat of 9 tails, spear, and crown of thorns. There is a teaching sheet below the sermon.

    Parables Of The Kingdom – The Second – The Wheat And The Tares – Part 1 Of 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 3, 2025
     | 237 views

    The Wheat and the Tares is a well-known parable and we dissect it to look at the meaning and practical issues involved. It has had application to the whole of Church history and today those in oversight in churches need to be very cautious and stay alert for the entry of false teaching.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE SECOND – THE WHEAT AND THE TARES – Part 1 of 2 We come to the second of the Kingdom Parables commonly known as The Parable of the Tares. Previously we studied the Sower and saw this to be the good seed sown by the Sower who is Christ, but taken up by His Apostles in ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 15, 2025
     | 396 views

    The last few hours of our Lord's life were spent first in a garden, then in various trials, and finally the last steps took Him to Calvary. So much took place in so little time--and He did all of this for us.

    From the Garden to the Cross—Part of our Lord’s Last Earthly Journey Introduction: When the LORD made Adam, He put Adam in a garden—Eden. Now that the last Adam, Jesus Christ, is about to die for the sins of the world, one of the last things He saw was a garden as well. Dr. A. W. Pink in his ...read more

     | 3,568 views

    Today, the civil phase begins. The story of Jesus’ trek between Gethsemane and Golgotha is known as the Passion. You really cannot truly understand the cross until you understand how Jesus got there and what took place on the day He was crucified.

    Getting Free From Unforgiveness

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 25, 2025

    Forgiveness cancels hidden debts, breaks Satan’s claim, restores compassion, and lets God’s grace and healing flood every relationship and heart.

    Introduction I’m delighted this morning to share what the Lord has been teaching me. The Lord often teaches me through what He’s doing in my own life—and that, I’ve found, is the best way to learn. Let’s begin with the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6.
