Sermons on C Proper 13:

Who Alone Is Immortal

Contributed by Harold Orndorff on May 24, 2004

Long ago C. H. Spurgeon said that the study of God would improve, humble, and expand the mind - a thesis we will test with an examination of 1 Tim 6:13-16.

“Who Alone Is Immortal” What better way to begin my sermon than by reading from a really good one! Here is a bit of one delivered on Jan. 7, 1855: “It has been said by someone that ‘the proper study of mankind is man.’. . . but I believe it is equally true that the proper study of God’s elect is ...read more

Core 52 Week 13 - The Rejected Jesus Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Mar 30, 2020

In trying times like these, what is at the foundation of your life? In what have you based your faith? Psa. 118:22 tells us that trusting our lives to any foundation not set by the Cornerstone (Jesus Christ) is foolish.

Choose Life

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013

"Choose life": an exhortation that belongs not only to the outset of the Christian life, but to all our choices in this life.

CHOOSE LIFE. Deuteronomy 30:15-20. On more than one occasion I am sure, “Choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:19) has been used, not inappropriately, as the text for an evangelistic sermon. The context, however, suggests that these words were not originally addressed to people who did not know the LORD ...read more

Contributed by Ian Bullock on Sep 4, 2020

Where two or three are gathered in my name. How do we work together to be the church and a living witness to the grace of God within the world

In the name of the father, and the son, and the holy spirit, amen. I came upon this prayer, which I thought was very apt as we come to unfold the scripture, so let’s begin by praying. Jesus said where two or three are gathered in my name there I am among them, then this must be a holy people a ...read more

Follow My Leader

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 29, 2018

Receive not the grace of God in vain.

FOLLOW MY LEADER. 2 Corinthians 6:1-13. In his earlier letter, Paul had spoken of himself and others as ‘God’s fellow-workers’ (1 Corinthians 3:9). The word for “fellow-workers” gives us our English word, ‘synergy’, which speaks of a combined effort, a co-operation with God if you will. It ...read more

A Call To Silence

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 22, 2020

The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

A CALL TO SILENCE. Zephaniah 1:7; Zephaniah 1:12-18. Speaking during the reign of king Josiah of Judah, Zephaniah spends a lot of energy outlining a universal judgment against the whole earth (Zephaniah 1:1-3), INCLUDING Judah and Jerusalem (Zephaniah 1:4-6). “Hold thy peace,” he cries, “for ...read more

The Hope Of Glory

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 25, 2019

But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.

THE HOPE OF GLORY. 2 Corinthians 3:12-18; 2 Corinthians 4:1-6. Opening this passage at 2 Corinthians 3:12, we are compelled to ask: What is the “hope” that Paul speaks of here? The context seems to suggest that it is the ‘hope of glory’ (cf. Colossians 1:27). In 2 Corinthians 3:7-11, the ...read more
