Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 25, 2025

When God Spoke Through An Ass

Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 6, 2007

Don’t Worry, its not what you think. The Biblical (KJV) word for donkey is often a synonym for a fool. But as we will find, Balaam’s talking donkey was more wise than he was, and wiser than some we may meet.

The story is told of a man who bought a beautiful, exotic, tropical parrot from a local pet store.

Christmas Day: Name That Tune!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 22, 2007

This all-age talk for Christmas Day is based around a game of ’Name that Tune’. Each of the 5 tunes, once guessed, help to build up the sermon which ends asking people to invite Jesus into their lives if they’ve not already done so.

(The big idea: The point of this all-age sermon is that Jesus is totally unique! There is no-one like him. He alone reveals God to humanity and he alone reveals God’s plans for us. Just like a piece of music the more we listen to it and get to know it the more its unique qualities become obvious. ...read more
