Church This Christmas, Why Not?

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Dec 3, 2009

A short sermon on Jesus place in our lives and a challange to a group of young mainly non-believers from a SA programme to attend church this Christmas.

Read Luke 2: 8-12 As we enter the season of advent, we think of Jesus this cute baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, in a stable in a place with a nice name, visited by the shepherds and the wise men and angels. The Christmas cards we have been brought up with show that it may have been snowing ...read more

The Days Vanish Like Smoke

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 20, 2022

The young make mistakes, and if they don’t have a strong and self-controlled father figure in their lives, they often make rash decisions and hurt themselves and others in the act.

Saturday of the 25th Week in Course 2022 When we read this portion of the Wisdom book of Qoheleth/Ecclesiastes, it is always wise itself to remember who is writing it to whom. The “preacher,” Qoheleth in Hebrew, is a wise man of advanced years. The reader or listener is redundantly called, “O ...read more

Without Natural Affection

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 8, 2018

Things are tough out there. The ones in the most danger are the pre-born and the old. Why?

Isaiah 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. In the day God spoke this it would be unnatural for a mother not have compassion or her child or not feed it. Indeed, women begged for ...read more

Honey Sweet Words

Contributed by Bala Samson on Feb 21, 2024

Be circumspect and cautious about what you hear, don't fall for flowery language, flattery words, too-good-to-be-true praises, loud applauses and claps! It can be fake, exaggeration and altogether trash.

Honey sweet words! And she (Delilah)said to him, “How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and you have not told me where your great strength lies.” Be circumspect and cautious about what you hear, don't fall for flowery ...read more

God Still Speaks

Contributed by Patty Groot on Aug 18, 2025

This sermon on Jeremiah 23:23–29 reminds us that God is near and present, warns against false voices, and shows how His Word refines and transforms like fire and a hammer.

I want to start today with a question. It’s simple, but it cuts to the heart: “Is God still speaking? And if so, are we listening?” In Jeremiah 23, the people of Israel were surrounded by noise. Competing voices. Smooth-talking prophets. Religious leaders claiming to speak for God but whose words ...read more

Some of us walked in today with a smile for the foyer and a sigh for the soul. Bills on the counter, deadlines on the calendar, questions on the heart. And yet, here we are, gathering around a Letter from Jesus to an ancient church in a city called Laodicea—a church with polished doors and tepid ...read more

If your heart is tired and your prayers feel thin, you’re in the right place. The Lord welcomes real people with real needs and real words. He is not looking for polish; He is listening for honesty. He is not impressed by our resumes; He is moved by our repentance. We’ve all had those moments—hands ...read more
