    Sermon # 45 - The Two Sons Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 185 views

    Abraham had two sons, one born according to the flesh and the other according to God’s promise. Both of them were in complete contrast to each other. It is not enough if we are born according to the flesh, because the Lord demands that we are born again through the Holy Spirit.

    For today’s meditation we will look at Galatians 4:22-23, “Scripture says that Abraham had two sons, one by a woman who was a slave and the other by a free woman. Now, the son of the slave woman was conceived in a natural way, but the son of the free woman was conceived through a promise [made to ...read more

    The Challenge of Joy in Troubled Times Church, this third Sunday of Advent—the pink candle Sunday—ushers us into joy. But how do we celebrate joy in a world so gripped by fear and trauma?

    A time of shaking is coming a time in the world when everything is shaken, except certain things which can never be shaken. All that is not built upon Christ the solid rock will fall and only things eternal will stand.

    Unshakable Things By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer Jr. PRELUDE: - I grew up in the church back in the day when we sang songs that stirred something up deep down on the inside.

    What was it about what Peter preached on Pentecost that cut his audience to the heart and prompted them to ask "What shall we do?" And what can we learn from what he said that can help us be more effective about sharing our faith?

    We just read a sermon by the Apostle Peter - a sermon he preached on the day of Pentecost - and it was so powerful that about 3000 people responded by asking: WHAT SHALL WE DO? And then they repented of their sin and were baptized into Christ. Their future was changed because of what Peter said. ...read more
