    In Mark 1:15, Jesus says the kingdom of God is near, meaning that in the person of Jesus God’s kingdom comes near. If the kingdom has come near, what in the world is God doing?

    WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOD DOING? Mark 4:21-34 INTRO: In Mark 1:15, Jesus says the kingdom of God is near, meaning that in the person of Jesus God’s kingdom comes near. God has arrived on the scene, to establish his rule, take back what is his. If that is so, then I have some questions: 1. Why are ...read more

    Splash Of Colour -A Night To Remember Christmas Eve...2

    Contributed by John Gullick on Dec 23, 2015
     | 3,550 views

    2nd sermon of this title by me ten years apart. This one is for Christmas 2015 - uses a metaphor that Christmas eve is a splash of colour on a black backdrop of history. I will probably do a painting as I preach it.

    Christmas eve. A night to remember LK 2:8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be ...read more

    This series approaches the Christmas Story by examining the lives of those present from a very historical perspective. This is week two focusing on the shepherds.

    Luke 2:8-12 NIV 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid.

     | 6,785 views

    A sermon about the Ascension of the Lord.

    "Staring Toward Heaven" Acts 1:1-11 This is quite an amazing passage of Scripture. We are told that after His Resurrection from the dead, Jesus appeared to His followers "over a period of forty days, speaking to them about God's kingdom." He ate with them, and at one of these meals Jesus ...read more

    We are responsible for our bros. & sisters. The church family was God’s idea and was meant for good. Encourage always, but sometimes a stronger, bolder approach is needed, while being gracious with one another.

    Gracious Living 2 Thessalonians 3:13-18 Intro: Two preachers were on the roadside with a sign that read, "The End is Near - turn around now before it’s too late". A passing driver yelled "Leave us alone you religious nuts." Then the preachers heard a loud splash. One preacher said to the ...read more

    The author of Philippians demonstrates a tremendous faith and devotion to Christ. Who is this and how can I have what he has?

    Who is Paul and who are the Philippians? These are important questions that God has given us the answer to. Last week we introduced a series on the letter to the Philippians where we read that, according to what this letter says, Christ is our purpose, our pattern, our prize, provider, peace and ...read more

    Romans 12:9-21 lists some qualities that the Lord looks for in the lives of his followers. Applying, practicing and perfecting these qualities is what the Christian life is all about.

    The good Lord by his grace and mercy has given us a new year. A new year, a new start, a new beginning. A new year is a time to look at our lives and see where we need to make changes and improvements. Our lives are in a constant state of change. If you don’t think so, go back and look at your ...read more

    Doubting Thomas

    Believing something opens to us the possibility of experiencing it, of seeing it come to pass, and of having that which we believe produce in us many kids of blessings. What will it take for us to believe? What proof are WE looking for?

    One Easter Sunday morning, a minister looked out on his congregation and noticed many people who had not been there for a long time. Before he began his sermon he said, "Since this will probably be the last time I see many of you for awhile, let me be the first to wish you 'Merry Christmas' ...read more

    We should accept it as axiomatic that God’s dealings with our fellow-disciples are no concern of ours. Our business is to watch our motives carefully, to keep our eyes on the Lord whom we follow, and not to look over our shoulders at others.

    Tested saints in all ages have been prone to complain like Israel: “the way of the Lord is not equal” (Ezekiel 18:29). Some of God’s dealings seem to contradict our innate sense of fairness; and instead of faithfully discharging our responsibilities, we are tempted to look over ...read more

    1) Sin’s been stomped 2) Satan will succumb 3) Death will die

    “One down, two to go!” That’s something you might hear a student say in the coming weeks. At least I remember thinking that when I was taking exams at the end of the school year. “One down, two to go!” It’s also what a mother might say to a child she is coaxing ...read more

    There is so much conflicting teaching in the church today. How do we discern the true from the false?

    By Their Fruit Matthew 7:15-20 Introduction We have always had false prophets in the world. So when Jesus tells His followers to be wary of them, He isn't saying anything new. The Old Testament is full of examples. But what is the difference between a false prophet and one who speaks truly for ...read more

    Christmas According to St. Mark Mark 1:1-8 St. Matthew has a Christmas story in which Joseph is prominent. St. Luke has a Christmas story. Even John has a Christmas story from a cosmic perspective where the Word became flesh. But is there a Christmas story in Mark? Let us see. From first ...read more

    The arrival of the Holy Spirit during Pentecost was a turning point in the plan of God's great salvation of humanity. That event was not something that was done in secret but was announced with signs and wonders and with the salvation of 3000 souls!

    Acts 2:1-13 (You can look this up now and we’ll read it later …) The Lord is a GREAT planner. He chose to send the Holy Spirit when people from all over the Roman Empire and beyond would be in Jerusalem. Why were they all coming to Jerusalem at that time? Deuteronomy 16:16-17 ...read more
