    based on 98 ratings
     | 14,178 views

    Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well serves a classic example of Jesus’ compassion toward all women (and men).

    Dr. Roger W. Thomas, Preaching Minister First Christian Church, Vandalia, MO The Man Who Understood A Woman John 4:7-26 I knew I was in trouble when my secretary giggled when she saw my sermon title.

    John’s Gospel #7 Sticks and Stones CHCC: March 2, 2008 John 8 INTRODUCTION: Sticks and Stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.

    Wise Men Overcome Worship Obstacles

    Contributed by Don Schultz on Dec 31, 2003
    based on 84 ratings
     | 6,899 views

    The wise men encountered three obstacles as they sought to worship Christ - distance, unbelief, and lowliness. So do we.

    MATTHEW 2:1-12: WISE MEN AND OVERCOME WORSHIP OBSTACLES (Distance, unbelief, lowliness) “Let’s worship God.” “Welcome to worship.” “Come and worship Christ on Christmas.” We use the word “worship” a great deal around here. What does it mean to “worship” God? What pictures fly into your mind ...read more

    The Blessings Of Hardships

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019
     | 6,038 views

    Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

    The Blessing of Hardships Since this Gospel reading is intense, I thought I’d begin by admitting something kind of funny about it. When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more

    The Apostleship Of Paul

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,150 views

    Paul had a personal encounter with the resurrected Lord, and was chosen, called, commissioned and sent by Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.

    The Apostleship of Paul. Galatians 1:11-18. Paul's testimony is that he is “the least of the apostles,” but he still saw the risen Lord and is a witness to the resurrection “as one born out of due time” (1 Corinthians 15:8-9). Paul asserted his apostleship by saying, “Am I not an apostle? ...read more

    This is a sermon I used for Mother’s Day about the Syrian Phoencian woman and her incredible encounter with Jesus

    Pride and Prejudice Mark 7:24-30 5/11/08 (Mother’s Day) PSCOC Intro: 41/41 cent stamps. I went into the post office on Friday to mail off some fundraising letters. I needed 41 stamps.

    The Will Of God, Coke And Honour. Series

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Sep 21, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,332 views

    Have you ever thought I wonder what the will of God is for my life? It could be honouring (that’s New Zealand-English, not a spelling mistake) others so that they too will do the will of God. This is about a culture of honour.

    In this time in history the basic desires, the basic drives of the human being are pretty much the same as they have been for all of history. In John’s first letter of three which incidentally I’m working through a series on, we get this directive from this great Apostle, who walked along side ...read more

    Emmaus - Surprising God

    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,117 views

    Do we understand our calling to be Christ to the needy & poor? Francis of Assisi & Mother Theresa are illustartions in this message that links the parable fo teh sheep & goats to the Easter Emmaus story.

    Luke 24:13-35 Matthew 25:31-46 Isaiah 53:1-3 This Emmaus scripture is a strange one isn’t it? Friends walking with not just a close friend but their leader; yet despite knowing him so well they fail to recognise Him. Yet it is not just a case of the risen Christ being so different to the Jesus ...read more

    No matter the strongman you encounter you can overcome Him. He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world.

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. *DAY 11 OF LENT* Our reflection for today is on the 9th Kingdom Culture from the parable below: *THE STRONG MAN* Matthew 12:29 King James Version (KJV) 29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he ...read more

    I think it is true to say that most of us have not seen a year like 2020 in our lifetimes.

    The Call Of Moses.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 21, 2023

     | 2,918 views

    The important thing is not the bush, but the presence of God in our lives.

    THE CALL OF MOSES. Exodus 3:1-15. EXODUS 3:1. Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, and led them to new pastures on the far side of the desert, towards Mount Horeb (a.k.a. Mount Sinai). This place is also known in this verse as “the mountain of God,” and elsewhere as ‘the ...read more

    Praying Like Jesus Series

    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,435 views

    Prayer needs to be the primary way we encounter God and grow in our relationship with Him. Jesus modeled and taught on prayer, particularly through the model of “The Lord’s Prayer.”

    Last week I shared our need to get connected to God, the only way to experience an abundant, fruitful life is to get connected to God. We get connected to God through Jesus. The Scripture passage we used last week was Jesus’ words, “you cannot bear fruit unless you remain (abide) in me.” The ...read more

     | 34,474 views

    In our spiritual journey there comes a time that we feel to give up, to quit due to the many things we encounter along the way. But God gave us reason not to quit.

    TOPIC: NO REASON TO QUIT Text: Galatians 6:9-10, “9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of ...read more
