     | 2,178 views

    The Lord is not against us gathering up some savings, or fill our closet with a few dresses and suits. But our faith and trust should be be rooted in something other than worldly possessions.

    Jesus taught about good works and giving. “Be careful! When you do something good, don’t do it in front of others so that they will see you. If you do that, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. “When you give to those who are poor, don’t announce that you are giving. Don’t be like ...read more

    What The Bible Teaches About Gambling

    The purpose of this course is to make today’s Christians think about some of the things we are facing in our society as Christians. Christian people should be “thinking” people when it comes to the issues we face in our society.

    For example, as Christians: • We can not allow others to do our thinking for us when it comes to deciding what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. • We can not just ignore these issues we face and hope they will go away. Through the ages of time, God’s people have had to face difficult situations in ...read more

    Jesus: Friend of Sinners, Part 7 of 7.

    LOVING PEOPLE AND USING THINGS (LK. 19:1-10) One of the greatest novels written, as well as my favorite Broadway musical, is Les Miserables, the story of Jean Valjean’s transformation from an uncaring and unfeeling man into a kind, noble, generous, sacrificial, and selfless man late in his life.

    Six ways God cares for people, presented to the person investigating the Christian faith.

    (Note: This sermon was introduced with a dramatic monologue based on the life of John Newton and then a reading of Psalm 103:1-18). John Newton could’ve written those words. Every word of Psalm 103 cries out that the God of the Bible is the God who cares. Have you experienced God as the God who ...read more

    God’s grace is dependent on what Christ did for us, and not on what we do. It is given without respect to merit, worh, or accomplishment.

    This morning, we begin a three-week series of messages on the topic of "grace". Over these next three Sundays, we will be focusing our attention on this one single doctrine, because a correct understanding of God’s grace is at the center of our faith. It is absolutely foundational. A clear, ...read more

    One of the greatest parables ever told was the story of the Pharisee and the Tax collector. The story is great because it has plot twists and leads to a surprise ending. The word righteousness means “right-standing”. To be righteous means to be in right

    A MAN WHO WENT HOME JUSTIFIED Luke 18: 9-14 One of the greatest parables ever told was the story of the Pharisee and the Tax collector. The story is great because it has plot twists and leads to a surprise ending. In Jesus’ day this simple story surely sent people home baffled and buzzing. The ...read more

    In spite of all that Satan or man can do to destroy you, Jesus has the power to deliver and set free. Many of God’s people have a wounded spirit and need Jesus’ delivering power.

    IN SPITE OF IT ALL By Pastor Jim May I know that his is the Christmas Season and that most ministers, during this time of the year, will focus on the story of the birth of Christ. Perhaps that will be the message subject for Christmas Day, but today I want to talk to you more about the things in ...read more

    Interactive message. What do we do about the family? Respect our children; parent with sacrificial love; and give children priority of emphasis in the church’s outreach.

    There are times when all of us need to participate, times when no single person can speak all the truths or do all the work. There are times when a community of people must come together, think together, pray together, speak together. This is such a time. The state of family life in our nation is ...read more

    God gives his gifts, not based on our merit, ability of achievement, but based on his generous grace.

    It’s hard to miss the hype of a TV show like American Idol. I haven’t really paid much attention to it in the past three seasons, but it caught my eye a couple of weeks ago. It has a lot of interesting elements: the fairy tale ‘rags to riches’ angle; the off-beat personalities; the actual ...read more

    Faith that works James 2:14-26 As most of you would know, Sydney Anglicans tend to get a bit of a bad write-up in the secular press.
