    This sermon is a study of God’s Word to see what he says about the conception and birth of Jesus Christ, or, what I will call the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

    Father Dave’s sermon on the parable of the tax collector and the Parisee. Father Dave challenges the conventional understanding of the Pharisee.

    Luke 18 - Jesus told them another joke. I know your translation says ’parable’ rather than ’joke’, but ’joke’ is not a bad translation. We don’t tell parables nowadays, we tell jokes, and they’re pretty similar - both have punch lines, both can help you to see life in a different way, both can ...read more

    Binitarian Or Triune God Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 22, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,670 views

    Is the church (body of Christ) ‘binitarian’ OR ‘Trinitarian?’ Many believe in the Father or Jesus Christ and just pay lip-service to the Holy Spirit.

    Opening illustration: St. Augustine - so the story goes - was struggling to understand the doctrine of the Trinity. So he decided to go for a walk on the beach, where he saw a little boy digging a hole in the sand with a seashell. The boy then ran off to the ocean, filling the shell, and rushed ...read more

    Give Thanks Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 5, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,525 views

    If we have our minds centred in Christ, focussed on the things that please God, then we won't need a rule book. If God's word dwells in us the way our lives are hidden with Christ then we'll do things that please God automatically.

    Paul has just finished telling the Colossians to stay away from those who want to tie them down to human rules and regulations. He says these rules are of no use to you in controlling your human desires. He says “Why would you want to subject yourself to human regulations when Christ has died ...read more

    Remembering, Reconnecting, And Rejoicing: Taking Charge Of Our Own Grief Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 26, 2009
     | 5,558 views

    We take charge of reducing our grief when we first trust ourselves, then trust others in redemptive relationships, and ultimately trust God, who raised Christ from the dead.

    Granger Westberg, in his little book, Good Grief, says that when you have something worth grieving about, then go ahead and grieve, but grieve in a healthy way. Westberg agrees that the Bible says, "Do not grieve as those do who have no hope", but that does not mean we do not grieve. When you have ...read more

    Jesus had many titles but He preferred to refer to Himself as the Son of Man. In calling Himself this Jesus is actually giving us a clue as to the true nature of His identity.
