Sermons on Apostles And Prophets:

Leaders & Martyrs Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Oct 25, 2013

We have gotten so used to novelty in the church that a common response to this theme, was a rather sympathetic gesture inferring, “What, have you run out of good ideas?” Preaching and prayer just don’t seem that innovative and frankly to many, are the boring part of church.

For the first few chapters of Acts we have heard about the beginnings and growth of the early church in Jerusalem after Pentecost. This was done almost exclusively through prayer and preaching. And Satan was working hardest through the religious leaders, not to stop miracles and such, but to stop ...read more

Perplexed Peter Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 8, 2013

I want to start today by reading the eighth verse of Acts chapter 1. The disciples were listening to Jesus just before he was about to ascend into heaven. No doubt eager Peter was up at the front when Jesus gives his great commission.

There was a man in Boissevain who was paralyzed in a farm accident and was bedridden for the last 8 years. This guy just came to town late last week out of nowhere and healed him. The formerly paralyzed man obviously started walking around town and being a small town just about everyone saw him ...read more

Stop Doubting And Believe

Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 15, 2012

Through our belief and faithful witness that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, we can influence this community to have life in Jesus name.

What is our motto, our slogan, at St. Thomas? A Believing Church in an Doubting World. From the very beginning, God called His people to believe, to be faithful, to trust Him. God told Noah to build an ark; and he believed Him and was saved. He told Abram that he’d give him the land of Canaan ...read more

Who's The Boss? Series

Contributed by Pat Cook on Dec 5, 2011

This describes a conversation had by Jesus' fishermen disciples, talking about the miraculous event later, spoken with the local accent. Better heard than read.

John 21:1-14 – Who’s the Boss? Today, we look at one of my favourite stories in the whole Bible. I can’t exactly tell you why I like it so much. Maybe it’s Jesus’ playful and whimsical nature shining through. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a fishing village, ...read more

Contributed by Frederick Meekins on Aug 27, 2010

Lessons In Apologetics #4: Pragmaticism & Combinationalism

Developed initially by Charles Sander Pierce and expanded by William James, pragmatism is the theory that truth is not determined by what one thinks, feels, or discovers but rather by what works.

Simon (Or Is It Peter?)

Contributed by Bramwell Hayes on May 11, 2009

The restoration of Peter, and what it means to follow Jesus.

“Simon, son of John”. Simon? That was his old name. That was the name that he was given by his parents, the name that he had gone by right up until the Lord had changed his name to ‘Peter’ – the Rock. He had certainly not lived up to this new name. That night he had let him down very badly. That ...read more

Contributed by Betty Johnson on Mar 29, 2009

This sermon attempts to look beyond Peter’s denial to the passion that motivated the failure, and which the Lord was ultimately able to use powerfully.

The Face In The Mirror

Contributed by Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr. on Feb 23, 2015

Beloved, have you ever looked in the mirror and the reflection told you what you didn’t want to see? You know, you might be feeling one way but when you look at yourself in the mirror the reflection reproduces something totally different.

You know, in the last 2 to 3 years, I noticed two pretty important ways the world has changed. Now frankly, I don’t know whether it’s because of global warming or the lack of gun control or the Obama administration. All I know is that these two issues, at least to me, are far more important than ...read more
