Who You Believe: Who Is Alive ? (Session 5) Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 19, 2010

Jesus described in detail His crucifixion and was explicit in stating that He would rise from the dead three days later. His disciples reaction to Him sharing His destiny with them was mixed. Often the statements Jesus made mystified the disciples, somet

Who is Alive? Jesus Christ who rose from the grave is alive! Jesus was born; Jesus ascended to Heaven; in between Jesus teaches, heals, suffers, dies and comes back to life.

Contributed by William Akehurst on Apr 7, 2012

At the Last Supper, Jesus and the Disciples celebrated the Passover meal together. But as they got to the 3rd of 4 cups of the passover, Jesus made a most profound statement about the cup he was holding, and the 4th cup, which he would wait to take.

Big Buts

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 27, 2014

A short talk asking what big buts we are carrying around with us. What big buts are looming in our lives? In the midst of our statements that start with, "But I can't ..." Jesus comes and says, "Shalom. Peace be with you!"

On the evening of that first day of the week the disciples were together, with the doors locked because they were afraid. I can imagine what they may have been thinking, and I guess there were some massive ‘buts’ in the room! But it wasn’t meant to be like this. We followed him ...read more

The Hymn Of Love

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 10, 2018

1 Corinthians 13 is a fantastic piece of NT scripture which we can all emanate in our daily lives. It is commonly called the Hymn of Love and if we turn the statements of love into questions for ourselves AND fulfil them we would be better Christians.

The Hymn of Love 1 Cor 13:1-8 Today we have a very well known passage from St Paul’s letter the Corinthian Church some times called the hymn of LOVE. And this hymn of love tells us so much about ourselves and the way we should live the Christian life, and if we are honest it shows us our ...read more

Love One Another Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Nov 11, 2020

Love one another. Seventeen times in the New Testament we are called to love one another. It is told to us by 3 authors in 7 different New Testament Books. It is also the only one another statement that comes directly from the lips of Jesus.

Introduction Last week we began our series “you ought to see a whole lot of “one anotherness” going on in the church house” and we talked about the first of the two pillars upon which all the rest of the “one anothers” depend upon. And if you remember, the first pillar was forgiveness- there ...read more

My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 14, 2021

While we may understand the words Jesus spoke in this statement, we lack the ability to comprehend the enormity of His words and the actual context in which He spoke them. He was forsaken so we could escape being eternally condemned and forsaken.

My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? Mark 15:33-36 We have spent the last three weeks considering the sayings of Christ upon the cross. Up until this point we have witnessed the awesome grace and mercy of our Lord as He prayed for forgiveness, promised salvation, and made provision for ...read more

Faith’s Essential Content Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 3, 2024

Romans 4:23-25 provides a concise statement of the Christian faith: Lordship of Christ, his sacrificial death on the cross, and his resurrection. Salvation depends on believing these essentials. Religions that proclaim Jesus as a good teacher or prophet but deny these tenets are false religions.

Intro We have been examining Abrham’s faith as a model for the kind of faith God is looking for in you and me. Abraham’s faith was a saving faith. After describing his faith, Paul says in Romans 4:22: “And therefore ‘it was accounted to him for righteousness.’” Paul has grounded his teaching on the ...read more

Ordinary People Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Everybody in this book is ordinary. Obed, the baby who gives the book a happy ending, does not grow up to do anything of significance that we know of. There are no great battles, no miracles, and no profound theological statements in this book. Not one person in this book was above ordinary.

What woman do you know who has had a thousand men propose to her from fisherman to millionaires; from the penniless on the bowry to the prince of a royal European family? And who was still getting regular proposals after she was 70 years old? There was such a woman, and her name was Evangeline ...read more

Sermon On A Trip Home

Contributed by William Meakin on Apr 29, 2023

The Ascension of Jesus has been defined as the Christian belief, reflected in the major Christian creeds and confessional statements, that Jesus ascended to heaven forty days after His resurrection, where He was glorified, exalted as Lord and Christ, sitting at the right hand of God.

Mohadesa Najumi, a female British writer once remarked: “Life is a useless passion, an exciting journey of a mammal in survival mode.

Sermon # 2 - Don't Miss Out On God's Presence Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 23, 2024

As Jonah fled from the presence of God, he had no idea as to the consequences he would face. We as a church too must be cautious in many ways so that we do no lose out on the awesome presence of God and His Holy Spirit.

We read in Jonah 1:3, “But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. And he went down to Joppa. And he found a ship going to Tarshish. And he paid its fare, and went down into it, in order to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.” (AFV) As we continue ...read more
