    John 3:16

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Sep 15, 2013
     | 5,644 views

    This sermon was given at an outdoor service in downtown Toronto - a call to turn to Jesus who is God's answer to the question: Who is God? Where is my healer, my deliver. What is the best hope on the planet for an excellent life.

    In the reading that we just had today there was a question. 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” It was a question from a man, named Nicodemus, a man rooted in a ...read more

    Duct Tape Lessons For Dads

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 17, 2023
     | 1,890 views

    The positive qualities of Duct Tape makes an excellent pattern for Dads: Stick to the Main Thing, Be Strong but Flexible, Hold Things Together, Don't get exposed to the wrong elements, and look for the Permanent Solution.

    Duct Tape Lessons for Dads 1 Tim. 3:2-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Dennis the Menace sometimes lived up to his name. One day he was over at the Wilson’s house (neighbors) eating cookies and milk.

    25 The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 6:6 - Message 25 – Should Any Or All Pastors Be Paid? A Look At Payment Of People In Christian Ministry And Sharing Good Things Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 4, 2025
     | 74 views

    We examine the tricky problem of church finances and what is paid to pastors and church workers. Who are those who genuinely do the work of the Lord? I quote from an excellent sermon on gospel support as well.

    25 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:6 - Message 25 – SHOULD ANY OR ALL PASTORS BE PAID? A LOOK AT PAYMENT OF PEOPLE IN CHRISTIAN MINISTRY AND SHARING GOOD THINGS [A]. INTRODUCTION: The last chapter of Galatians is very practical as we have seen already. Before we move to verse 6, I want to ...read more

    Gazing On The Radiance Of Jesus

    Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Apr 14, 2025
     | 800 views

    Why do we need to fix our mind’s eyes on His Divine Radiance, especially during this holy week? Or, what can we experience, if we gaze on the Excellence of His qualities?

    “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of ...read more

    Felix Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 11, 2022
     | 2,391 views

    Felix represents many people intrigued by the gospel but recognizes that surrendering to it means losing status, power, or control of their own lives. Mere exposure to truth does not necessarily enlighten the heart, and Felix is an excellent example of that.

    Felix Felix was Festus' predecessor. He imprisoned Paul but allowed him to speak in his defense. He hoped Paul would offer him a bribe, but he never did. Festus thought Paul was delusional, but he did not think that was cause for putting him to death or locking him up, so he let him ...read more

    The time has come to invest in our church facility so that it glorifies God and serves today’s circumstances. God has placed the resources among us and will be shaking us to let go and move toward excellence.

    I hope you’ve noticed that I try to come at preaching from a wide variety of different angles. There are many aims I bring to the preaching task. Most of the time, of course, I am trying to work with you in seeing in the Scriptures something that will help you live out your daily life in the ...read more

    “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things” Phil. 4:8.

     | 1,018 views

    The Apostle John wrote to his close friend Gaius, and in this short letter we read of a close friend, a wicked man, and an excellent example of a Christian testimony. They are the three men in this letter. I hope you find this instructive.

    THREE MEN AND A CHURCH – NOW WHAT IS THE RESULT? – 3rd LETTER OF JOHN Here are three glimpses of a church that could be any church but it is specific to the little group where Gaius was fellowshipping. We are going to look at three men mentioned in John’s letter to that church synonymous to ...read more

     | 5,169 views

    Joseph, serving as Jesus’ earthly father figure, was an exemplary father. He was not only an excellent role model for his son, but within Joseph lies a certain character trait, which just happens to be Jesus’ strongest attribute.

    The Christian singer Michael Card wrote a piece entitled Joseph’s Song. To begin this morning, I am going to read a few lines from this song. Listen closely, and from what you know about Joseph from the Bible, think about whether these words could have come from Joseph’s own heart: Lord I know ...read more

    Attribute One | A Man Submits To Authority Series

    Contributed by Vince Miller on Apr 26, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,867 views

    A man is someone who can submit to authority. Submission is an attitude that results from a mindset. The man who excels at this understands that he cannot self-govern and needs to be governed. Therefore, he gives up his will to a higher authority.

    Well today, we are looking at the first of nine attributes. Today’s attribute is – Submits to Authority. I believe that Jesus Christ was teaching the attributes during his life, as he walked this earth. That he was trying to help, us to understand – as a man – what it means to be a true man of God. ...read more
