Bread is, in many ways, the perfect metaphor for our lives because it’s common and ordinary, and sometimes cracked and broken. But in ...read more

Double Blessing - Original Blessing Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon introduction uses the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur to explore the concept of the 'double blessing' found in Genesis 1:26-28.

In Greek mythology, there is a legend about a labyrinth that was inescapable. Those who entered the labyrinth never exited. For within that maze meandered the Minotaur, a fearsome creature that was half man, half bull. Every nine years, the king of Crete demanded that the Athenians send seven boys ...read more

The Misunderstood Meek Series

Contributed by Kevin Cummins on Jun 16, 2011

Most people think that meek is a person who is a pushover, a person who other people can force their will upon them. They see someone who is meek as spineless and maybe even a coward. This sermon examines what it really means to be meek.

The Paradox Of Blessing Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

To be eligible for forgiveness we must first sin by disobeying God and, therefore, this is a blessing we are to avoid. It is a blessing to offer this forgiveness to the fallen believer, but it is not a blessing to have fallen and needing such forgiveness.

A paradox is a statement, which at first sight seems absurd, and contrary to common sense, but which can be explained so as to be well grounded ...read more
