    The Wedding: No Shoes? No Service!

     | 6,744 views

    People love to attend wedding receptions. There is food, wine and music. Jesus was the life of every party. He made better wine when the old wine ran out. Jesus loved celebrations. (Quote from Leonard Sweet)

    King Of The Jews Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 14, 2018
     | 4,555 views

    Using the title King of the Jews, was a title which causes conflict and puts people in a place where their identification with Jesus brings mockery, disparagement and even persecution.

    Message Matthew 2:2 Name Above All Names - King of the Jews Through the Advent period we have been looking at the importance of the different names of Jesus. Specifically the different names that appear in the New Testament from before he was born to the time when He goes to Egypt. The Word Son ...read more

    Use The Best To Stand The Test

     | 6,590 views

    Every Christian will have his or her deeds tested by fire. If anyone is not ready, there is still time to make corrections. But this life is all we have, so please, live it wisely!

    Use the best to stand the test Some time ago, I saw a question which read, “What on earth are you doing for Heaven’s sake?” That question could be taken any number of ways. I definitely wish more preachers had used this text so as to remind us that our deeds are important, and that this life is ...read more

    Here’s the question. What is the deeper reason for celebrating Christmas? What is the reason for the season? Do we need it?

    Time of the year – Family, food and fun, but it is also a time to think about the deeper questions of life – but also to ask the question, “is there a purpose to it all?” • Here’s the question.

    Parable Of The Perfect Father

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 18, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 24,021 views

    Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son teaches us how to treat others: with freemdom to make mistakes, with forgiveness in second chances, and with favor out of unconditional love. God is the perfect Father, showing us all three. (Father's Day message)

    Luke 15:11-32 Parable of the Perfect Father Today’s story is probably my favorite in the Bible. I’ve shared it with you before, but never in the context of Father’s Day. Since the real hero of the story is the father, I thought it might be a good story to look at today. Let’s consider some gifts ...read more

    The Seven Major Themes of the Bible Luke 6:17-26 Do preachers repeat themselves? The good ones do! Certainly, Jesus did. A good preacher repeats himself Sunday after Sunday.

    There's Nothing Like A Mother's Love

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021
     | 2,705 views

    In the New Testament we have a wonderful picture that Jesus would tend to people much like a mother hen would tend to her young (Luke 13:34). Comfort involves compassion, encouragement and sympathy.

    THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A MOTHER'S LOVE Text: Isaiah 66:13 Isaiah 66:13  As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. A young, awkward boy grew up in southern California, plagued by a learning disability that in later ...read more
