     | 2,624 views

    The Bible, particularly Jesus, puts together two ideas which the world would always keep seperate: love and dogma. This sermon argues they must always go together.

    Psalm 33, Isaiah 45:11 – 19, 1 John 4:7-21, John 15:9-17 The Bible puts two things together that modern man would never in a million years put together. We see them both in the gospel and the epistle appointed for today. On one hand there is something in both the gospel and the epistle which ...read more

    Joseph was a key figure in Egyptian history, but was he Imhotep?

    Joseph the Grand Vizier (Genesis 41) 1. The sermons and presentations in this series will be, by nature, uneven. Some weeks, more Bible less Egyptology. Other weeks vice-versa. I could solve this by speaking for two hours at a shot, thus giving us a balanced mixture. Some instinct in me tells ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 2,687 views

    Focusing on the "blank years" of so many of the Bible’s saints, including most of the life-time of our Savior, this sermon exhorts to diligence in well-doing, until God brings us to that time for which all our lives are meant.

The father is behind the wheel. The mother – looking slightly harried and worried – is in the front passenger seat; and, three, ...read more

    Greed is every bit as much -- maybe more -- a poor man’s vice as it is a rich man’s folly.

    Karl Marx said, "If I can steal their history I can steal their country." It is about time that Christians stop this theft and stand up for Christmas again!

    Fought/ fight = agony. Literally – “I have agonized over a worthwhile struggle”. At the end of Paul’s life, he declared that as for his faith, it was strong because he fought to keep it that way!
