    It is Gods will to free us from every form of infirmity that' has us chained, hand-cuffed, shackled, imprisoned, and trapped. If the Son set us free, we are free indeed!

    Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your ...read more

    Runaway Slave

    Contributed by Jeff Riedel on Jun 30, 2014
     | 6,161 views

    This sermon is designed to inspire the reader to include others into our fellowship, regardless of what they once were. We must break down the walls that divide us and have a heart of "inclusion" with everyone we meet.

    Illustration: Many years ago, my wife and I visited my parents in Florida, and we attended my Mother's church. She was relatively new to the congregation but she was proud to have us. As we entered the foyer, she began to introduce us saying, this is my son Jeff and daughter- in- law Rita. ...read more

    Temptation

    Many battles are won in our minds! Temptations are first overcome in our minds because that is where the battle is and that is where the victory also is. Hiding God’s Word in our hearts is a great weapon to fight temptations.

    Matthew 4:1-17 ILLUSTRATION: My wife is a consummate shopper and she once saw this cart with variety of rugs being sold near our home. When she asked how much it was, the guy said, Rs. 17,000/-. She managed to bargain and bring the price down and she got the rug. Later another day, the same ...read more

    Why did god take on flesh in the person of Christ?

    Last time, we spoke of how Paul says that Christ is the eternal God of the universe who laid aside His eternal rights in order to accomplish His eternal purpose. Paul further says that in accomplishing His eternal purpose, Jesus Christ, the eternal God of the universe, took on human flesh. Why did ...read more

    Our faith grows. If you don't have much, don't worry. It will come with time.

    We owe a debt of gratitude to God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing. 2 Thessalonians 1:3 We “owe a debt of gratitude to God for you, brothers . . .” What are people usually ...read more

    A sermon for Trinity Sunday based on Rublev's Trinity

    There is a Story in Genesis Chapter 18 where three angels appear to Abraham at the Oak of Mamre - three figures and yet later in the Story they are voice of the One God.

    The disciples were terrified. They hid together in their dwelling in Jerusalem, trembling with fear. They didn’t know if roman soldiers or temple guards might burst through the doors at any moment and arrest them all.

    Immaturity (Sixth Sunday After Epiphany, February 12, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 10, 2023
     | 1,631 views

    In the very first verse Paul has stepped on toes! There are two words that illustrate well how Paul stepped on their toes. These two words, “carnal” and “babies” lose some of their emphasis as they are transliterated from Greek to English.

    IMMATURITY Text: 1 Corinthians 3: 1 – 9 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.

    Which Jesus Do You Have?

    Contributed by Graham Kettle on Feb 22, 2024
     | 744 views

    The world sees Jesus as a good teacher, but someone who has little call on anyone’s life. There is no personal cost to this Jesus, no relationship. He often is only a genie that they demand when things go wrong. Our question is, "Who is my Jesus?"

    WHICH JESUS DO YOU HAVE? John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Let us look at some different views of Jesus and see how our view fits. 1. THE WORLD The world sees Jesus as a good teacher and a good example based ...read more
