    Often overshadowed by her sister Mary, Martha is often marginalized as an undesirable example of for disciples. However, when examined through the lens of scripture and not popular Christian books, Martha shines through as an example for all godly women.

    When I survey the women of the New Testament, I find some remarkable women of faith, Mary the mother of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38) is the first to come to mind. But, there are others, such as Joanna, Susanna and Mary Magalene (Luke 8:1-3). Later on, I read about Priscilla who, along with her husband, ...read more

    Mary loved Jesus and was willing to pour herself out for Him. She was willing to pour the most valuable possession she had and poured it out on Jesus. Worship is pouring yourself out. It is laying down your life in honor of One who is greater than you.

    Why do we doubt God’s ability to answer our prayers? Is there more to our prayers than we know? Is there more to us than we know? Do we know that God is already working his will through us? Are we grateful, possibly not?

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 6th April 2014 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). Summary: Why do we doubt God’s ability to answer our prayers? Is there more to our prayers than we know? Is there ...read more

  • The True Solomon

    On Palm Sunday, the people hailed Christ's entry into Jerusalem. But they were looking for a king and a prophet, and not also a priestly Christ, leading to dissapointment when Christ suffered and died.

    On a spring afternoon, two thousand years ago, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. “Hosanna!” Amid shouts of praise to God and acclamation of His own dominion, he rode on. “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” Unswervingly, he proceeded the two miles from ...read more

     | 10,609 views

    Number 36 in an on-going sermon series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at true worship, and how true worship appears foolishly costly to the worldly minded, but to Christians there is no cost too high.

    Costly Worship (John Part 36) Text: John 12:1-8 Well it’s good to see you all this morning. I hope you are excited to be gathered with the Church. Today I’m going to do something I’ve never done as your pastor… and I think I’ve only done one other time in the 21 years I’ve been a pastor… I’m ...read more

    The Lord wants us to be used, yes, but what he is really after is that we pour all we have of ourselves to Him, and if that be all, that is enough. The question is not one of working for Him, but of being of service to Him, of ministering to the Lord.

    What a Waste Mk. 14:3-9 AMP Mary’s family was not wealthy. Mary’s Alabasters box was filled with precious oil valued at 300 denarii. A Denarii was about $0.17.or a whole days wages. This so called waste was valued at a year’s wages for a common worker. MK. 14:3 According to ...read more

    Don’t you imagine that Lazarus grew tired of the onlookers wanting to catch a glimpse of him? No doubt Lazarus would have loved his privacy away from prying eyes after being in the spotlight. How many times did he have to answer, “How do you feel?”

Listen and learn from a story of incredible worship. As you listen, refuse to be Judas while embracing Mary. Oh, that there would be ...read more

    The theodicy often centers on the question: If God is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent, why does evil exist? Theodicy seeks to reconcile the existence of a good God with the reality of suffering and injustice in the world.
