    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 3, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,364 views

    Christians are expected to unite with a congregation of the faithful in order to fulfil the ministry God assigns each follower of Christ.

    “Those who received his word were baptised, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through ...read more

     | 6,152 views

    The birth of the Christ points forward to the day when Messiah shall reign from the Throne of David.

    “Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.” [1] Isaiah foresaw ...read more

    Stolen Glory Series

     | 13,590 views

    Usurping God's glory leads to judgement. A study of Herod Agrippa's death because he accepted glory that properly belonged only to God.

    “Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they came to him with one accord, and having persuaded Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food. On an appointed day, Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat ...read more

    Wolf Country

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 31, 2017
     | 14,902 views

    Jesus sent out His disciples, comparing them as sheep sent in the midst of wolves. So, the flock of God to this day lives in the midst of wolves as they fulfil the will of the Master.

    “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the ...read more

    A Citizen Of An Unseen Country

     | 10,863 views

    How we live reveals our understanding of who we are. As citizens of Heaven, Christians exhibit defined characteristics.

    “Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in ...read more

    We prepare to live by preparing for death.

    “Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; for ‘All flesh is like grass and all its ...read more

    The Root Of Immorality

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 18, 2021
     | 2,706 views

    A redraft of a message that was never preached due to Covid Lockdowns. The message is a call for Christians to reassess their relationship with the Lord God.

    The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame. They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for their iniquity. And it shall be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds. They shall eat, ...read more

    Fulfilled? Or Frustrated?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 30, 2022
     | 2,347 views

    Whether we live a life that is fulfilling or a life that always leaves us frustrated, is dependent upon our obedience to the revealed will of the Lord.

    DEUTERONOMY 5:32-33; 6:24-25 FULFILLED? OR FRUSTRATED? “You shall be careful therefore to do as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. You shall walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it ...read more

    Whatever Were You Thinking? Series

     | 1,570 views

    If we dishonour Christ by treating the Lord's Table with disdain, we can anticipate His discipline.

    “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.” [1] “Whatever was he thinking?” That is the question that was no doubt on the minds of many Canadians when they first read of the fall of Colin ...read more

    The Rabble Among Us

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 23, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,526 views

    Association with a church does not translate to identification with Christ.

    “The rabble that was among them had a strong craving. And the people of Israel also wept again and said, ‘Oh that we had meat to eat! We remember the fish we ate in Egypt that cost nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. But now our strength is dried up, and ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,800 views

    The Word provides a description of life in the "last days." We are forewarned so that we can continue to live godly lives even as the world grows dark.

    “Understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

    Complaints Against A Gracious God

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 17, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,095 views

    It is a vain and futile thing to complain against God Who is gracious. A study of the descent of Israel into complaining serves to warn us against charging God with error.

    “They sinned still more against [God], rebelling against the Most High in the desert. They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved. They spoke against God, saying, 'Can God spread a table in the wilderness? He struck the rock so that water gushed out and streams ...read more

    All Cultures Are Not Equivaent

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 4, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 822 views

    The rules for war that Moses gave to Israel revealed a vast cultural gap between Israel and the nations they were to dispossess. The nations of the west in this day are culturally superior to much of the remainder of the world because the foundations of the west are found in the Word of God.

    “When you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. And when you draw near to the battle, the priest shall come forward and speak ...read more

    Who Is God?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 8, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 982 views

    Like many people in this day, Moses knew about God, but Moses didn't know God until he encountered God. Each of us who are twice born will have had an encounter with the Lord God. Until then, He is but a rumor.

    “Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush ...read more
