    How To Be A Priest

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 21, 2015
     | 4,235 views

    So how are we like priests? We are appointed by God. We sacrifice ourselves and our desires to God. We continually pray to God about the human condition.

    Each and every one of us can be a priest! Does that statement make sense to you? After all, when we hear the word “priest” we often think of the ordained clergy who preside at weddings, funerals, baptisms or weekly worship services. The truth is, we are all priests. Let me explain by ...read more

    Prayer - A Mark Of Discipleship Series

    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Feb 19, 2004
    based on 25 ratings
     | 11,455 views

    Prayer is one of the seven marks of discipleship our elders have identified for our church. But in our prayer life, we often struggle over the issue of unanswered prayer.

    I read a story once about a woman who was dying in a hospital bed. Her two daughters were by her side. All day one of the daughters had been praying vigorously and passionately. But when the family’s pastor came to the hospital room, one of the daughters whispered to him, "I just can’t seem to get ...read more

    Jesus Blesses Children; Raises Objections Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 6, 2017
     | 14,201 views

    It was customary in Jesus’ day for children to be brought to rabbis and elders for their blessing, and on this occasion some brought young children for Jesus to touch and bless. The disciples appeared to be rude and inconsiderate, especially in . . . .

    Perea Jesus Blesses Children; Raises Objections (Ps. 131:12) Matthew 19:13-15, Mark 10:13-16, Luke 18:15-17 13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

    A Fighting Fundamentalist Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,445 views

    Labels are applied easily--some are undeserved, and some should be embraced. If we stand with Christ and His Word, we can anticipate vilification. Paul obviously expected elders to stand firming on some truths.

    “Teach and urge these things. If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for ...read more

    Being Prayerful Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Aug 23, 2019
     | 2,993 views

    Recognising that many prayers in the New Testament are in the plural and focus on community, not just individuals, this messages gathers many New Testament Scriptures to teach from Scripture how a church in fellowship together is to be a prayerful church.

    Note to preachers This sermon is a collecting of verses all about prayer. I used a power point presentation as I preached so the verses easily followed one another. On the power point I underlines where the words were in the plural to emphasise the community fellowship aspect of prayer. ...read more

    The "M's" Of Leadership Series

    based on 104 ratings
     | 17,131 views

    1 Timothy speaks clearly about the making of Leaders for God’s people today. I’ve discovered at least ten qualities that all begin with "M."

    Making of Leadership for God’s People 1 Tim. 3:1-7 God has a vested interest in the leadership of the church. He has always been directly involved and deeply concerned about those who lead his people. Think of the earliest great biblical leaders. The first one that comes to my mind is Moses. ...read more

    Going To See Jesus Series

     | 21,937 views

    People come to church for all kinds of reasons, but the only "good" reason to be in church is to "see Jesus." Hebrews 10 tells us how we can make sure we have the right attitude in worship.

    It was Palm Sunday and, because of strep throat, the family’s 5-year-old son had to stay home from church with a baby-sitter. When the family returned home carrying palm branches, he asked what they were for. His mother gently explained. "Well honey, people held them over Jesus’ head as he ...read more

    The Interview Series

    What makes a marriage work? How do families in your congregation keep it together and avoid divorce? In this presentation, I interviewed 6 different couples in our church and exposed the strengths and weaknesses we all have in keeping a marriage together?

    For the Valentine’s Day Weekend, in place of a sermon we held an interview on stage with 3 of our solid couples from the congregation (3 in each of our two services). Since the Apostle Paul told Timothy and Titus that Elders must be good husbands and fathers we believe there’s a high ...read more

    How Should Adult Children Honor Their Parents? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,495 views

    The command to honor our parents is not reserved for childhood obedience. In today's culture of independence and personal choice, Christian adults must learn to show honor to their parents and not abandon them.

    We never stop worrying about our children. That includes our adult children! Our children can bring us the GREATEST JOYS, and also the GREATEST SORROWS. Many Christian parents grieve over.... Unsaved adult children Children who have walked away from the Lord Children hooked on drugs or ...read more

     | 2,025 views

    In the Bible, giving of thanks goes far beyond an annual American celebration on a day we remember to thank God for a multitude of blessings. It is a preoccupation of every Christian and extends even to those elders who are "before the throne" in heaven.

    Today, I want to explore the significance of thanksgiving in our lives as Christians. While Thanksgiving is often associated with a single day of gratitude in America, the Bible teaches us that giving thanks goes far beyond an annual celebration. It is a continuous attitude and action that should ...read more

    Of Truth And Authority - Introduction To Titus Series

    Contributed by Warren Bird on Jan 14, 2003
    based on 35 ratings
     | 5,509 views

    Why should we believe the New Testament? Paul’s introduction in his letter to Titus gives important teaching about the source of his authority as a teacher of God’s message and helps us to understand the New Testament as God’s inspired Word.

    Introduction The media love crises. Situations where something is going wrong; someone has mucked up; or someone has to be sent into a situation to fix it up make really good copy. Well, if you’re the sort of person who buys the newspaper or watches ‘A Current Affair’ to learn about the latest ...read more

    Truths Worth Fighting For

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 26, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,970 views

    Some truths, those that define the Faith of Christ the Lord, demand that we stand firm in defending them against distortion. The faithful depend upon each of us as followers of Christ to defend the Faith, speaking the truth in love.

    “Some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, ‘Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.’ And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem ...read more
