Returning To Our Landmarks

Genesis 10 – Part 2 – When I Shy Away, Don’t Break My Neck! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 10, 2010

Sometimes throughout history God has had to break us in order to deal with our sin, not in anger but with true justice and love. We die to the old way of life in order to live for Christ.

Genesis 10 – Part 2 – WHEN I SHY AWAY, DON’T BREAK MY NECK! I don’t know much about my family tree but I know my grandfather was a tough man who broke horses and had a team of about 40 Clydesdale horses which he used to haul logs. My Dad once drove a team right through a ...read more

The Spirit Of Slave Laws Series

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 30, 2021

The topic of slavery is a very emotional one, because most people only know of corrupt forms of slavery and because the threat of such slavery still exists in the modern world. However, we need to learn that kidnapping and enforced slavery were also forbidden in the Bible.

The Babble Of Babel Series

Contributed by Stephen Todd on Apr 10, 2003

Proofs The Tower Of Babel Account Is True Series

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 2, 2017

Skeptics have scoffed at the account of the Tower of Babel calling it a myth or a "nonsensical legend." Is that true? There are now four areas of history and science that confirm the reality of the Tower of Babel. The Bible is true after all!

Harvest: Haves & Have Nots

Contributed by Emms International on Aug 24, 2016

This is a sermon mainly designed to be used at Harvest in the UK which uses the harvest laws from Deut 24 to think about the God given responsibility that the "haves,", those with more than enough, have to the "have nots," those in real need.

HARVEST AND THE "HAVE'S" AND "HAVE NOTS" "When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it.

Tacks & Gates To Ecc

Contributed by Joe Hayes on Feb 9, 2010

Spiritual tracks and Gates to the Church

As a church of people in partnership, it is important we hear what God is saying to us as a church and even more important we act on what God is saying to us. God interrupts what we are doing, and even what He is doing, because God is always looking for a moment to speak into our lives, to call or ...read more

Blessed Broken Given - Blessed Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon introduction discusses the metaphor of bread in relation to our lives, focusing on the concept of being 'blessed' by Jesus.

Last week, we began a series about bread. Well, not bread exactly, but on what Jesus did when He had bread in His hands. He blessed it, broke it, and gave it. Bread is, in many ways, the perfect metaphor for our lives because it’s common and ordinary, and sometimes cracked and broken. But in ...read more

Did Jesus Have A Wife?

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 4, 2012

The recent publishing of a 4th century papyrus fragment where Jesus is purported to say He had a wife will continue to be vetted for months in the media. Christians must be informed and have a strong defense of the authority of the Word of God.

DID JESUS HAVE A WIFE? Rev. 22:18-19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In a church scriptorium, a group of old monks huddled over an ancient manuscript. 2.

Another Kind Of King Series

Contributed by Timothy Peck on Mar 12, 2003

Jesus Christ’s entry into Jerusalem reveals Jesus as the promised king, the humble king, and the unexpected king.

Note: This sermon was introduced with scene 49 from the play "Traveling Light." As Americans, most of us don’t like kings very much. After all, that’s why we fought a revolutionary war in 1776, to be free of the tyranny of a king. Even though the king might be a benevolent king, he’s still a king ...read more
