    Mana From Heaven -- Jesus Feeding The Five Thousand Series

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Jan 8, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,079 views

    The four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John explain the many ways in which God provides us through the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand.

    I recall a day at Trinity College Theological School when, during a Homiletics Class, a mature-aged feminist student preparing for ministry challenged me. She demanded that I account for the disciples counting only the men to the exclusion of women and children in the story of Jesus feeding the ...read more

    Joy In The Midst Of Heaviness Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 14, 2025
     | 86 views

    This sermon explains the Christian paradox of experiencing profound joy—rooted in our eternal salvation—while simultaneously enduring temporary and purposeful seasons of sorrow and trials.

    Introduction: A Heavenly Paradox To the world, joy and sorrow are opposites. They are like oil and water; they cannot mix. You are either happy, or you are sad. The presence of one means the absence of the other. The goal of modern life, it seems, is to construct a life so comfortable, so ...read more

    Paul uses the metaphor of the human body to explain how the church is designed to function. Despite our differences, we are all part of one body in Christ.

    If you take a dollar bill out of your wallet or a coin from your pocket, you may notice the Latin words "E Pluribus Unum." This motto, found on the Great Seal of the United States, was chosen by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson in 1776. It means "out of many, one" and represents ...read more

    This sermon is a precursor to a series on the Ten Commandments. It explains what the law tells us about God and about us as well as what the law could never do.

    May 21, 2000 Exodus 19 “Laying down the law” 1. The giving of the law established the fact that God wants a relationship with mankind. (Exodus 19:3-6) I want to give you a principle that will help you in many different areas of your life. It will help you in your relationship with God, ...read more

    Do You Know Who The Devil Is?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 1, 2005
    based on 127 ratings
     | 10,703 views

    A sermon explaining just who the devil is; what he tries to do to us; and how he accomplishes it. A sermon most Christians should hear.

    Here is a figure that brings all varieties of thoughts to people’s heads. To some, the Devil is nothing more than a red Halloween costume with horns and a tail. They do not believe in the devil. He is a joke; a non-existent entity. To others, the Devil is a god himself, to be worshipped in all ...read more

     | 11,621 views

    Just knowing about Jesus will not benefit us. We must know Him. This sermon explains that to know Him we must have belief, trust, and faith.

    How much do we really know about God? How much do we think we need to know? One morning, right after school had started, the teachers were called into the teacher’s lounge for a quick meeting. This left all the classrooms empty. Mr. Miles knew that he had an especially unruly class, so he ...read more

     | 6,091 views

    A sermon explaining that Satan was created as Lucifer, rebelled, was thrown down to earth, and still wages war - through us! Audio/outline/powerpoint will be at www.sermonlist.com

    I don’t know how many times over the years I have been asked who I think Satan really is. Now, that may not surprise you, but what should surprise you is that almost all of these questions came from people who referred to themselves as born-again Christians. That reminds me of an old Twilight ...read more

    How powerful is the Word and the words we use to explain it! We continue in our series as we examine the power of words in the life of our Sunday fellowship.

    For the last few weeks we’ve been talking about how to breath life into the Sunday morning worship experience, so that it’s “not just another Sunday morning” that we feel like we just “have to” come to, but a place that we “want to” come attend. We’ve talked about prayer and its importance, but ...read more

    I felt challenged to preach this because of the un-biblical approach to giving in my largest Church, & try to explain that our giving either honours or dishonours God.

    Proverbs 3:1-18 Malachi 3:6-12 Texts: Proverbs 3:9 -10 ‘Honour the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. ’ Malachi 3:10 ‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may ...read more

    Packed within three verses are some of the most important truths of the Gospel, for these verses explain WHY Jesus died on the cross and exactly what He accomplished by that death.
