Sermons on Bread:

Transforming The Common

Contributed by Scott Bradford on Apr 22, 2011

This is a sermon (used on Maundy Thursday) about how Jesus took common everyday elements and transformed them into powerful means of God

ME – I can relate to the common items Jesus used: salt; light; darkness; coin; fruit; fish; bread and wine! A common everyday item, that Jesus would pull out and talk about and by transformation in a story it would have new meaning! (Here I had a table (seperate from Holy Communion which was ...read more

Paul's Sermon & Healing At Troas Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 17, 2017

Luke did not mention the collection in connection with the journey to Jerusalem, which Romans 15:25-28 clearly indicates was undertaken to deliver the gift. Why is Acts silent on the subject? Was there ultimately some problem with the collection?

Peak Of Popularity Passes In Galilee Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 16, 2017

Because Christ told them that they must labor for the food He spoke of, they enquired what they must do. What they want to know is what works can we do better or more of, than those we do in obedience to the Law of Moses.

Another Lesson On Prayer Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 15, 2017

Soul Food

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 17, 2015

In order to live with Christ, we have to die to our worldly way of life and take up his life-a life of forgiveness, goodness, trust and service. If we are grounded in Christ’s unconditional love, we are free to lead like Jesus and love and serve others.

The passage we have just heard from John’s Gospel is part of the lengthy “bread of life” discourse in which Jesus shows that he is the only way we can satisfy the hunger we have in our souls. Hunger is a powerful motivator. When we are physically hungry, we get something to eat. ...read more

Did Jesus answer false accusations? Did He answer who He is? Let's look at Mark 14.
