Sermon For Pentecost

Address Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 3, 2018

Paul's call to the office of an Apostle had nothing to do with personal merit; he says instead that he is "an apostle by the will of God," and this is what constitutes the ground of the authority he claims in the Corinthian Church.

John Son Of Zebedee:- Thundering Character Gives Way To Loving Disciple. Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 16, 2005

Judas … The Fallen Disciple Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 22, 2005

Judas was given all the privileges of being a disciple, yet he still did not understand the need to totally submit to Jesus. As modern disciples we need to be sure that our heart has been captured by the Lord.

Judas … the fallen disciple Does anyone here know a person called Judas? It doesn’t have to be a friend or relative ... just anyone. Someone you have met? I doubt we would have. In fact to test my theory I used the internet to look up the popularity of this name. This is the response of one ...read more
