    Counting The Cost Series

    Jesus said that if we are thinking about following Him, then we should first add up the cost. If we have not considered the task ahead of time, then we may give up; and when this happens, it is a bad testimony to the world.

    This evening’s message is entitled, “Counting the Cost,” and it’s taken from a passage of Scripture that is sometimes called, “The Cost of Discipleship.” When Jesus spoke about the cost of discipleship He incorporated two parables to illustrate His point. One parable speaks of a tower builder and ...read more

    Good things happens to bad people, and the Gospel tells us that, but it is not fair, but what we don’t see, is God changing us for the better, refining us to do his will. It is all there in the bible.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 30th October 2016; This is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries.

    Only four post Ressurection appearances of Jesus to disciples are recorded in John’s Gospel - and each makes a significant contribution to imparting faith

    This sermon encourages us to personally know God, adhere to His teachings, and experience the spiritual freedom that comes from being His disciples.

    Friends, as we gather today, let's open our hearts to the profound truth that awaits us in the hallowed pages of the Bible. With hearts full of expectation, let's turn to the Gospel of John, chapter 8, verses 31-36. Opening Scripture Reading – The words of Jesus, as recorded in this passage, are a ...read more

    In John 12.20-36 where the Greek-speaking Jews asked to see Jesus. Three things stand out from this episode, People WANT to see Jesus; People NEED to See Jesus; and People WILL See Jesus. As His disciples we can aid or hinder people in seeing Jesus.

    1. What Will They Find? The story that I begin with today is a true story. A woman named, Helen, lived in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada. They found her body one night at the door of Emmanuel Pentecostal Church. Helen had been trying to get into the church. But she never got further than ...read more

    Racing Is Life

    The Bible uses many sports related images. In this classic text, the writer to the Hebrews explores the image of a race to reflect upon the nature of a disciple's life.

    I am a sports fan, and the big news for me most recently is that the New Orleans Saints opened training camp on July 28th, about ten days ago, and they’re first pre-season game is only a mere thirteen days away. Not only that, but I know the local high schools are gearing up for the new ...read more

    Jesus slept while a storm brewed. The disciples were so afraid that they let their fear overpower their faith - something we still fall prey to.

    LUKE 8:22-25 ‘One day, Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He told them, ‘Let’s cross the lake.’ They started out, and while they were sailing across, Jesus went to sleep. Suddenly a violent windstorm struck the lake, and the boat started taking on water and began to sink. They were in ...read more

    When it comes to sharing the Gospel we don’t need to have all the answers. We just need to be willing to invite not-yet-believers to “Come and See”.

    Message John 1:43-46 Philip – the penny drops … eventually We all know that sharing the Gospel and telling others about Jesus is an essential part of being a disciple of Jesus. After His resurrection Jesus commanded the eleven to go and make disciples … baptising them and teaching them to do ...read more

    Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Jesus rebuked His disciples because they wanted to keep the power of healing for themselves. This is happening in church today even though Jesus said it is wrong!

    I think that it is sad that when I read this narrative, it made me think about the control the church has held over people for almost 2000 years. The church used only one verse, thus out of context, to control people. Catholics could not own a Bible until 1964 CE. The idea that a person has to ...read more

    Doctrine is not a theological mystery only found in classrooms but the basic teachings of scripture that must we must apply to our lives to be disciples of Jesus Christ.

    As the church has entered the postmodern era, historic biblical teaching has fallen by the wayside and new theologies have taken their place. The ‘new theology’ downplays the value of scripture and shifts the focus on emotionalism and experiential Christianity instead of Christianity based on ...read more

    Faith

    The text seems to suggest that the bearers of “Bad News” will always come, but the author of “Good News” is always in control. Jesus hears and ignores what others are saying. He has the last word. He is the author and finisher of our faith.

    One night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. The father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, “Jump! I’ll catch you.” He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, and blackness. As ...read more
