     | 4,319 views

    Life never goes as planned: for example, have you ever invested years of your life in another person only to watch something go wrong: as something happens, and your investments all go wrong as they make one stupid mistake after another.

    Title: Life just never seams to go as planned. Word Count: 2993 This sermon was delivered to both congregations in St John in Girvan, and St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 15th December 2013: (both are Scottish Episcopal Churches in the Dioceses of Glasgow and ...read more

    Based on The Conduct of the Gospel outline in the MacArthur Study Bible

    Over the past few weeks, we have discussed how we as Christians should "Stand in the Gap" regarding some of the social issues of the day; ones that not only plague our society but have leeched their way into the church. It seems that the farther along we go as a church in the USA, the more and ...read more

     | 13,203 views

    Peter had denied Jesus three times. Jesus asks Peter is he truly loved him. Jesus may need to ask us the same thing. Peter didn't love Jesus as much as he thought he did. Do we love Jesus as much as we think we do?

    “DO YOU LOVE ME?” John 21:15-23 1) “Do you love me?” (15-17). The charcoal fire connection in 21:9. It is interesting that the Greek word for charcoal fire is found in only two places in the New Testament. Here in this story where Jesus is cooking fish for the ...read more

    David reflected God’s own heart as He faithfully tended his sheep, as well as when he later was the shepherd king over Judah and Israel. We need a shepherd’s heart to help us care for the people God brings into our lives.

    THE HEART OF A SHEPHERD INTRO: Have you ever thought about what David’s life must have been like as a shepherd? He did not show up for work at 9 am. and go home at 5. He actually lived out in the fields or hills with the sheep. My understanding is that they did not do this year round ...read more

     | 8,480 views

    There is a lot of debate about Faith vs. Works, but when we look at God's word we see Faith and works are combined. We cannot have faith without works, because faith is an action word. This lesson explores this concept through the Lady Be Good.

    Opening Story; The Lady Be Good The year 1942 was a dark day of World War II. Britain under Churchill stood alone against Adolf Hitler. The United States under Roosevelt was in the process of mobilizing. Churchill’s labour deputy Prime Minister said, “Our Prime Minister wins every ...read more

     | 8,084 views

    Paul did not rely on his own power but on the power of the gospel through the Holy Spirit. We can boldly proclaim the gospel when we rely on God’s power instead of our own.

    INTRODUCTION ILLUSTRATION: The summer after I graduated from high school, God called me to go on a mission trip to Taiwan. I was really excited about going and sharing the gospel with the people there; however, I am deathly afraid of heights, so the thought of flying, or more accurately being ...read more
