Genesis 9 – Part 2 – Preacher Of Righteousness Found Drunk And Naked! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 15, 2010

It’s as if a beautiful woman has seduced them by her charms. They make jokes and flirt with her, but they are flirting with a killer. It’s still the highest cause of road deaths in Australia.

Genesis 9 – Part 2 – PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOUND DRUNK AND NAKED! The Bible is so honest! After Noah obeys God and builds an Ark, after he honours God and builds an altar, after he intercedes for generations to come and God answers his prayers, after all that – he goes away ...read more

Matthew 5 - Part 8 - All I Want Is A Little Peace! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 28, 2009

Matthew 5 - Part 8 - Kill the Peacemakers - Make war not Love! "BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS - for they shall be called sons of God." You may say "Well that’s nonsense.

Salvation And Repentance Series

Contributed by Brett Crosson on Jun 25, 2019

For a person to come to Christ they must repent of their sins. This message encourages people to repent.

WHAT IS REPENTANCE? 1. Repentance is more than ‘sorrow for sin’. If I were caught for speeding and given a heavy fine, I would be very sorry, but that would not prove my repentance.

The Holy Spirit, The Spirit Of Correction And His Corrective Ministry. Series

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Sep 20, 2017
