    The Elements Of Advent

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Dec 8, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,667 views

    This message helps to explain three of the four elements of ADVENT: Love, Joy, and Hope. The final element of Peace will be the topic for the following Sunday.

    As I sat down to put together my thoughts for this sermon, and after praying about it, I looked at the calendar and realized that this is one of those years that there are only 4 Sundays of Advent between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sometimes there are 5 Sundays but then there are years like 2020 ...read more

    A Dream Of Joseph.

    based on 14 ratings
     | 10,906 views

    Joseph was not afraid to take the lead in his family, and opened his heart and his home to the Son of God.

    JOSEPH’S DREAM. Matthew 1:18-25. Joseph was a dreamer. This was true of the Old Testament Joseph, the son of Jacob, derogatively referred to as “this dreamer” (cf. Genesis 37:19). It was also true of the New Testament Joseph, recognised here as “the son of David” (Matthew 1:20). Joseph ...read more

    Good tidings of great joy!

    ANGELS AND SHEPHERDS. Abridged. Luke 2:8-20.

    God spoke and it was done.

    THE FIRST DAY. Genesis 1:1-5. GENESIS 1:1. “In the beginning” is a temporal expression; it pertains to time. In fact, here it refers to the beginning of time itself; but also to the beginning of Creation. This is the beginning of everything. “In the beginning God.” Before time was, before ...read more

    Understanding the Person of God through His works of Creation, Providence, and Redemption.

    A COMMITMENT TO PRAISE THE LORD. Psalm 111:1-10. After the initial exhortation to “Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 111:1), this song forms an acrostic, using all twenty-two Hebrew letters in alphabetical order. As for the Psalmist, he has determined: “I will praise the LORD with my whole heart” ...read more

    A Lost Sheep And A Lost Coin.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 5, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,412 views

    Man in sin is lost, whether he is aware of it or not. Jesus came to seek that which was lost. The testimony of Christians is, I once was lost, but now am found.

    A LOST SHEEP AND A LOST COIN. Luke 15:1-10. In the first parable of today’s reading we see the caring shepherd. He left his ninety-nine other sheep in order to seek the one that was lost, until he had found it. This is an image which is familiar from both the Old Testament and the New Testament: ...read more

    A miraculous catch of fish, and the commencement of the Church's ministry.

    A SINNER SAVED. Luke 5:1-11. I can remember reading a quaint old book by a Puritan whose only acknowledged qualification for conducting a Christian ministry was, ‘Sinner Saved’. Without that we are either honestly mistaken, or really just charlatans and frauds! This begs the question, ‘What ...read more

    The two states of being, the two ways of life: confronting our own hearts.

    A TREE PLANTED BY THE WATERS. Jeremiah 17:5-10. The prophet Jeremiah’s response to the political and international situation of his day was, “Thus says the LORD” (Jeremiah 17:5). And what does the LORD say? He says, in effect, that there are two states of being, and two ways of life: and ...read more

     | 1,600 views

    No-one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

    SPIRITUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND GIFTS. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. 1. Concerning spirituals (1 Corinthians 12:1-3). “Now concerning spirituals,” begins this passage (1 Corinthians 12:1). This may be masculine, ‘spiritual people’. However, given the emphasis away from individualism to “Jesus is ...read more
