    I THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 1 THE MODEL CHURCH I. INTRODUCTION It is obvious from the nature of the writing that the apostle Paul had very deep feelings for the individuals with whom he had shared the gospel.

    Sermon about ministry amongst the marginalised

    Twenty-something years ago, I was at a weekend meeting a few miles out of Taupo. When we had finished our business for the Saturday, a few of us drove into town to have a look around, and at some point, I left the others, so I could patronise one of the local watering holes. I soon found a ...read more

    Grace - The Untold Story

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,160 views

    There are those who falsely teach that God's grace, through Christ Jesus, secures salvation without any change in character and lifestyle. Such a view ignores passages which explicitly state that grace demands a transformation.

    Grace is a constant theme in the Bible, and it culminates in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus (John 1:17). By His mercy, God accepted Christ's sufferings and death as the punishment for sin that we all deserved. By His grace (unmerited favor), God extended to those who put their trust ...read more

    The Need Of The Church Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 8, 2020
     | 4,100 views

    If you sat down and asked what does the church need today, what would be your answer? A lot of times we think of the material things, but God is more interested in the people that make up the church. What are the needs of the people? I hope to answer that question for us all.

    The 2nd and 3rd chapters of Revelation, tell us of real churches in real places. These churches also are representative of different ages of church history. The Laodicean church is a description of this church age. The church that is neither cold nor hot. A church that was rich and said it had need ...read more

     | 3,533 views

    Church attendance helps demonstrate our obedience to Christ.

    A. WHY MUST YOU BE IN CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY? 1. Because of the example of the early church. a. On the birthday of the local church everyone was present. “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place” (Acts 2:1). Be present on September 16, 1971 at Thomas ...read more

    The Great Commission Convolution Of Same Sex Marriage

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 22, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,810 views

    Does the Bible teach that the only way it can help all people face tomorrow in the power of God’s love is by becoming a diverse and inclusive congregation – multiracial, multigenerational and multicultural – offering a warm, non-threatening environment to all?

    The enemy has been very successful seducing churches to choose a different path to fulfill the Great Commission by becoming “Open and Affirming / Welcoming” rather than becoming places of supernatural transformation. Many churches see themselves as a place that, no matter where one is on their ...read more

    Not Everyone's Coming Home Series

    A word of warning from the Sermon on the Mount: we must make certain our walk with God.

    Not Everyone’s Coming Home Matt. 7:21-23 Thomas Wolfe wrote, “You can’t go home again.” Robert Frost wrote, “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, They have to take you in.” I suppose there is an element of truth in both of these ideas. Wolfe wrote from the perspective of the ...read more

    This is a salvation message taken from John 3.

Max Alderman The Lord as we sometimes say, “Got to the crux of the matter” when He said, “Ye Must be born again…” Today, we shall consider the importance of the new birth.

    Free Lunch!

    Contributed by Val Black on Nov 25, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,422 views

    There are always claims of a "Free Lunch" but none of them prove to be true, with one exception. It's a real meal and it really is free.

    (This is a sermonette and/or illustration, that was taken from one of our Gospel tracts. It could be considered tongue-in-cheek. It simply explains the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and how to qualify to participate in it.) Someone once said there is no such thing as a “free lunch.” There are ...read more

    A Wedding Invitation

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 11, 2015
     | 6,963 views

    Our Heavenly Father wants to invite you and me to a wedding. It is not a regular invitation and it is no ordinary wedding. The flight is paid for and the destination is Heaven. The reception is to take place on earth.

    Message: Summer can be a very busy time as we try to squeeze in vacation, visits to family and friends and respond to all those invitations. For most of us the wedding invitation is still one of personal importance and can sometimes cost us more than just a wedding gift. In some cases a wedding ...read more

    Why They Turned Down The Bread Of Life Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 15, 2020
     | 4,221 views

    This section is lengthy and confusing. There is a lot going on. This message unpacks it by focusing on five of the key reasons the crowd rejects Jesus here.

    - A couple things up front. - First, there is a lot in this passage, yet the passage needs to be taken together. A lot of ideas are brought out, but it’s all a cohesive whole. So we are going to cover a lot of ground this evening. - Second, there is so much in this passage that there are ...read more

    The Emerging New Stewardship Role In The Church Is Key To Effective Leadership.

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on May 26, 2020
     | 5,043 views

    The church has stayed too long in the wilderness of failed leadership. Now is the time to use the stewardship calling to accomplish the role of leading the church into the new dispensation after the crisis of the pandemic has run her course.

    The present pandemic crisis has revealed the inevitable need for good leadership and governance not only in the world, but in the church as well. Daily we are experiencing and witnessing the failure of leadership in many high places. In fact those who are supposed to lead are failing the calling. ...read more

    Strengthening Leadership In The Church

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Jun 27, 2020
     | 4,203 views

    Thus, believers limit leadership to the secular world and the places where citizens socialize, political establishments, corporate business, sporting activities, and professional gatherings in society. The price is the low and unworkable leadership structure in the body of Chris

    Therefore, there is a need for the restructuring of the present church model if she desires to project Christ's government and leadership to the world. There must be an all-inclusive, team spirit, true unity, and a three-but a single-level model built upon the membership, stewardship, and ...read more

    As we travel on the journey of our life's mission, Jesus promises that we will encounter people who will receive us with grace. They will be oases of grace.
