     | 10,381 views

    We are not saved by a denomination or a religion but by a Saviour who is Christ the Lord. Jesus demands all of us not part of us when we come to Him.

    Let there be Peace on Earth Many of you probably know this familiar song often heard this time of year; Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me; Let there be peace on earth, The peace that was meant to be. With God as our Father Brothers all are we, Let me walk with my brother In ...read more

    The Pharisees thought religion was about rules and regulations. Jesus taught that it was about worshipping God from the heart and meeting human needs. This sermon looks at the Pharisees silly Sabbath rules and Jesus’ correction of their false teachings, and a startling statement of His deity.

    Culture Clash - Psychic Network Series

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Jan 3, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,843 views

    When everything is theoretical,everyone loves to coexist, everyone celebrates diversity. Interfere with their lifestyle and you become part of the problem, not part of the solution.

    To say that there is one God hinders social harmony. To claim that there is only one way to salvation is an affront to our diversity. To allege that a belief is wrong is the ultimate bigotry. Christians are the problem - Christians not part of the solution. Paul and his companions run into ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,149 views

    Cleaning up, sorting out the rubbish, clearly we can run light weight, the spiritual race before us focused on Jesus. Jesus being our focus keeps the path ahead doable.

    Hebrews 12: 1-3 This was to be the final part in this series of tools of the Faith; I think there maybe another one or two of these sermons coming up yet. In any situation where tools have been used there is often a need for a clean up. A time to get rid of the rubbish, to cast off all the junk ...read more

    Legalism Exposed Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 6, 2024
     | 588 views

    This exposition of Romans 4:13-16 addresses the problem of trying to attain righteousness through good works. The law was given to expose our sinfulness and lead us to Christ for salvation. The deception of legalism is a problem that must be addressed.

    Intro Our text today is Romans 4:13-16: “It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is ...read more

    there was a reason why God was angry at Job's friends and there's a reason why there will be God's wrath in the future!

    We are now at the last chapter of the Book of Job. Open your Bibles to Job 42… Let us remind ourselves of the story of Job. Job was a godly man, wealthy, and had a nice family. The devil Satan challenged God that if Job lost just about everything including his family and health, that Job would ...read more

     | 8,683 views

    To be zealous for God is to be on fire for God. It is to keep the fire burning.

    Introduction “Are we zealous for the Lord?” Or better yet, let’s extend that question to three by using the three biblical meanings of the word “zeal”. a. Are we excited about the things of the Lord? b. Are we doing our best in the things of the Lord? c. Are we excited and doing our best for the ...read more

     | 1,637 views

    Repentance is a firm theme throughout both testaments because it is crucial and essential.

    The Advantage of Repentance (Isaiah 1:1-20) Isaiah is often considered the most important of the prophets, and his book is sometimes called the “Fifth Gospel” because it so frequently predicts the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. Being a prophet meant being both a forth-teller and a foreteller, ...read more

    The Do Nots Of Christian Living

     | 3,060 views

    We dear ones are called to Holiness not just good enough to get by. That’s a pretty high standard for any of us and God knows that so He gave us some help and identified behaviours and actions that we need to purge from our character.

    The Do Nots of Christian living Leviticus 19:1-2 Leviticus Chapters 15 through 18 Matthew 22:34-40 Many people see religion as a waste of time. I would be one to agree with them. However FAITH is another matter. Religion is made by man but FAITH is what God is calling us to. People ...read more

    based on 51 ratings
     | 13,620 views

    the 8 woes of sin as displayed by the Pharisees in Jesus time. They profess to be the only guide in religion, but are blind to truth and practical Christianity. They strain at gnats and swallow camels.

    Eight Woes Upon The Pharisees Marks of a Pharisee Matthew 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, Matthew 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: Matthew 23:2 a [Moses’ seat] Twenty-one Characteristics of Hypocrites 1.

     | 10,935 views

    When Jesus says he is the way, it means: 1) You are not the way. 2) Other religions are not the way. 3) Jesus Christ is the only way to God.

    Godfrey Saxe’s poem The Blind Men and the Elephant is based on a fable from India. (See the complete poem at the end of the sermon. May also be used as a skit.)

     | 12,156 views

    There is no faithfulness steadfast love or knowledge of God. This is the fault of poor teaching by the priests and bad leadership by the nations secular leaders. It results in false religion and false hope.

    The prophecy of Hosea begins with a dramatic enactment by Hosea of the relationship between God and his people Israel. It’s a shocking revelation of the unfaithfulness of a people who should have known better, who had had every opportunity to get their act together and to worship God faithfully but ...read more
