    Writing Off The Future

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 14, 2014
     | 6,251 views

    Teaching Christian values without bringing our children to faith in the Risen Son of God, condemns them to eternal death. The Pharisees stand as a beacon warning Christians not to succumb to the lure of presenting Christian values.

    “Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, ‘The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s ...read more

    The manner in which we conduct our work reflects our comprehension of Christ our Master.

    “Let all who are under a yoke as bondservants regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled. Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brothers; rather they must serve all the better ...read more

     | 11,951 views

    In the darkest times, God is prepared to accomplish great things to the praise of His glory. He is able.

    “I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.” [1] Unapologetically, the message today is meant for Christians—followers of Christ the Lord. This is appropriate since the text was ...read more

    God calls His people to stand firm in the face of trials and suffering.

    “Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.” [1] The call of Christ is not as is commonly presented in contemporary church life. We preachers do issue a call for our hearers to ...read more

    God has worked in the life of His people since before the foundations of the world--preparing and appointing them for service.

    “Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.’” [1] It is most humbling to realise that we cannot boast of anything we possess or of who we ...read more

    Weighing the salutation of Paul's Second Letter to Timothy to discover hidden gems.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,080 views

    The message is an exposition of Paul's instruction concerning wives, reflecting over fifty years of marriage. Our world has divided into warring tribes and factions, and the conflict has entered into the marriage relationship, which dishonours God.

    “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.” [1] It is tragically sad ...read more

    Why do you go to services at your church? What are you seeking from the Saviour? People have expectations, but many times our expectations fail to match up with reality.

A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are dressed in splendid clothing and live in ...read more
