Finding Our Native Tongue Series

Contributed by Eldon Reich on Aug 24, 2007

Jesus - The Law With Flesh On

Contributed by Glenn Newton on Jun 18, 2004

Getting Life Right: No Rules, Just Right Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on May 18, 2020

The Old Testament is not a book of rules, but a guide to WHO God is, WHAT righteousness is, and HOW to bring righteousness into our lives. Jesus fulfills the law, but affirms its continuing relevance.

Getting Life Right: NO RULES. JUST RIGHT. Matthew 5:17-20 Some years ago, Outback Steakhouse had an advertising slogan: “No Rules. Just Right.” The slogan conveyed a relaxed attitude, symbolized by the lack of a set closing time posted on the door, and leaving no customer request unfulfilled. NO ...read more

Jesus Calls Us Into His Mission

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on May 19, 2007

As with the Apostles, today’s Church is called to be the Church in mission. This short sermon also emphasises that we must not ’star gaze’. We are simply to be involved in God’s mission.

Sadly as I preach this morning there will be ‘preachers’ stating that Jesus did not ascend vertically into heaven; and whilst I will not today have the opportunity to challenge such false teachers let’s remind ourselves of this: After appearing to the disciples “many times in ways that proved ...read more

Avoiding The Distortions

Contributed by Colin Thornby on Nov 6, 2010

Just like the Sadducees, we can selectively read scripture and so make false and disastrous assumptions about Christ and his call (Luke 20:27-40)

One of the curious things about religious people is that they can develop very fixed ideas about what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes these are bolstered by appeals to their religious texts, sometimes it is based on experience, or a sort of philosophical position. Jesus interaction with the ...read more

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Oct 5, 2012

Dead Flies In The Church Series

Contributed by Charles Payne on Oct 18, 2025

Depending On God Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Jan 16, 2026

Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world.

“Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world.” At first glance, this statement may sound contrary to biblical teaching, especially in a faith that values community, fellowship, and love for one another. Yet Scripture repeatedly affirms a sobering truth. Human beings are finite, fallible, and ...read more

The Kind Of Person God Protects Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 17, 2021

Many of the promises of God's protection or provision in the Bible are actually conditional. They absolutely don't apply to anybody and everybody. Jesus shows us in John 6 exactly what kind of people can expect His protection and provision, and what kind of people can't.

Psalm 91 has always, from very early in my Christian life, been one of my favorite Psalms, because it speaks so beautifully and certainly of the Lord’s protection. I mean, just listen to it—it’s makes for beautiful poetry as well as for comforting thoughts—“He who dwells in the shelter of the ...read more

Why Am I Here?

Contributed by Jim Kane on Aug 31, 2004

Questions about our life purpose are asked and answered.

I begin this morning with a question, “Are you a why, a what or a how person?” What people ask: What do I need to do next? What do I need to do to get this job done?
