Age Before Beauty Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Dec 6, 2011

Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about how being under the Law is like being a child but when we are set free in Christ we finally come of age as God’s people.

I sat in a restaurant this week at a table next to two guys who when their food arrived they decided which one would pray by saying, ‘Age before beauty’. I thought they both fell into the same category and unless they were waiting for someone else to arrive there was no ...read more

The Age Of Accountability - Reality Or Legend?

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 18, 2015

Whenever we preach a sermon at the funeral of an infant or young child the presupposition is that that person's soul is now in heaven. Is that to help the family through their grief or is it the Biblical truth? Let's see if we can find out.

All Baby’s Go to Heaven - Right??? I remember when Isabelle had just gone into the hospital and Jason and Ashton were sitting in the service and we were talking about Neil and Christine and how their unborn baby had died in the womb. The next day I would be speaking at the funeral for ...read more

The Promise Of Immanuel

Contributed by Dr. Robert Crowder on Dec 2, 2015

God gives a great promise of the Messiah to a wicked king of Judah. Within the promise to protect Judah is a prophecy that says; "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel.

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 6, 2015

Why would anyone reject the promise of the Christ child being born of a virgin? Well, many do. Why do they do that? And why is it important that we not only believe this promise, but understand it?

The Greatest

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 12, 2013

The analogy of the child being the greatest in God’s Kingdom was completely contrary to the prevailing culture then and now. Imagine how His disciples must have reacted to Jesus then and how indifferent it is even today.

Opening illustration: If God was taking resumes, what would you put on yours? In other words, what makes a good Christian? What would really impress them when you arrive in heaven? Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more

Faith: A Fruit Of The Spirit Series

Contributed by Patrick Nix on Aug 1, 2010

Faith is not something we can muster up or dig down deep to find. It is the fruit of God in the life of His surrendered child. In God, this is called foreknowledge. In us, it is the assurance of His foreknowledge. In Him, this is omniscience. For the

Faith can be the difficult to find when you need it most. It is in the darkness of temptation and in the lonely, sinful distance we need its light most. In Ephesians 2:8, Paul reminds us that faith “is the gift of God” and that it comes from God – it is not something we can muster up or dig down ...read more

Being God's Adopted Children.

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Mar 7, 2017

A short message at a Child development Centre and Remand Home, short because the message is to be translated to Sinhala (one of the local languages) and because in many cases those hearing the message have short attention spans.

Death Has Died, And Jesus Christ Has Won (1 Corinthians 15:51-58)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 6, 2023

Death and the grave hold no fear to a child of God. If we have put our faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, we can have confidence that His death and resurrection has put an end to it.
