     | 18,780 views

    This sermon explains the importance of developing a proper understanding of Jesus identity.

    What do you believe about Jesus Christ? Does it matter what you believe about Him? Many people tell us that if you believe a certain way you are intolerant. Others say it does not matter what you believe as long as you believe. Instead of seeking man’s opinion I want to look at what Jesus had ...read more

    If there is hope for the greatest of sinners, then there is hope for every one of us.

    THE CONVERSION OF THE APOSTLE PAUL. Acts 9:1-22. Saul of Tarsus was a Jew from the city of Tarsus in Syria. This was a Roman garrison city, and as a tent-maker Saul had a good market for his trade.

    Continuity and discontinuity between the natural and the spiritual.

    THE NATURE OF THE RESURRECTION BODY. 1 Corinthians 15:35-38, 1 Corinthians 15:42-50. We can imagine one of Paul’s hecklers in Corinth posing the question, “How are the dead raised? And with what body do they come?” (1 Corinthians 15:35). This does not sound like an inquiry of faith, but ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,084 views

    Our reconciliation with God is made possible by the grace of God through the work of Christ. Having been reconciled, we are made the righteousness of God in Him. We are enabled, by the same grace of God, to follow God in the way of righteousness.

    RECONCILIATION, AND GRACE TO FOLLOW. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21; 2 Corinthians 6:1-10. As an ambassador for Christ, Paul was pleading with the Corinthians - on behalf of Christ - that they go on being reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20). We may feel that this is unnecessary: if we are ‘called ...read more

    Faith in the certainty of His promises, despite all appearances to the contrary.

    CUTTING A COVENANT WITH THE LORD. Genesis 15:1-12, Genesis 15:17-18. After the battle of the kings, Abram no doubt would have had a rush of emotion. First of all, perhaps, elation: look what God has enabled me to do with a small household army (Genesis 14:14-16). Secondly, a sudden ...read more

    From past mercies to present help and future salvation.

    GOD IS DOING A NEW THING. Isaiah 43:16-21. Isaiah reminds us of how the Sovereign LORD had opened the Red Sea, and made a path through the Jordan (Isaiah 43:16-17). Yet the Prophet is only looking back in order to look forward: “remember not” the former things - don’t yearn for what we might ...read more

    The humiliation of Jesus, the frustration of Pilate, and the treason of the Jewish priesthood.

    BEHOLD YOUR KING. John 19:1-16.

    THE TEACHING MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. John 16:12-15. Jesus had many things still to teach His disciples, but before His resurrection they were not ready to receive them (John 16:12).

    Responding to the call of God.

    SEEK THE LORD. Isaiah 55:1-9. The Bible is full of wonderful gracious invitations. ISAIAH 55:1 begins with a call to the thirsty to come to the waters.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 671 views

    A time for everything.

    THE RELENTLESS RHYTHMS OF TIME. Ecclesiastes 3:1-13. ‘Turn, turn, turn’ is the refrain of the old pop song based upon these verses.
