The Seriousness Of Sin

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Apr 21, 2013

We tend to treat our sin lightly calling it shortcomings, errs, mistakes. In Mark 9, Jesus gives a series of warnings to His disciples: in verses 43-48, He warns of the seriousness of sin and its dire consequences.

The Seriousness of Sin Mark 9: 43-48 Evangelist Billy Sunday used to say, “One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake.” We tend to treat our sin lightly calling it shortcomings, errs, mistakes. We catalogue them into big sins (e.g. ...read more

What’s Hell Like?

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Nov 10, 2020

He begged to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. As he lay at the gate, the dogs came and licked his ...read more

Prayer, Politics, Isaiah And Hezekiah Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 14, 2020

God took those pottery shards and put together, in the end, a beautiful mosaic, our Gospel tells us, of Joseph, Mary and Jesus.

Today Is A Good Day To Die

Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 21, 2019

Almost every time the Bible refers to the Resurrection of Jesus, it refers to our call to follow Him to the cross. Without death there is no resurrection. Jesus bids us "come, and die".

Today is a good day to die. Warning (Spoiler?). Today’s message is going to be morbid-focused on death. I’ll confess, I’m a Star Trek fan, And there is a species in the series that is very focused on warrior virtues. Any episode where there is a battle, and there seems to be a likelihood of ...read more

Lord’s Prayer 11: Forgiveness Of Sins Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Oct 30, 2024

Jesus died and suffered on the cross for us, to forgive us our sins and this is something we must never, ever take for granted. When we pray for forgiveness for the things we have done wrong to our neighbour or sinned in the sight of God our Father we must never forget the cost.
