    The Crucifixion - The Ultimate Display Of God's Glory

    Contributed by David Petticrew on Apr 30, 2003
    based on 57 ratings
     | 9,803 views

    A Good Friday sermon based on the crucifixion story from John’s gospel, where the ultimate glory of God is shown in the most improbably place, on the cross.

    And so we come to the crucifixion. The cross stands at the very heart of Christianity. It has come to symbolise Christianity the world over. We put crosses at the front of our churches, crosses on the top of our churches, we were jewelery in the shape of crosses and crosses form the cover art for ...read more

    Meaning Of The Wine Series

    Contributed by Dennis Lawrence on May 12, 2003
    based on 14 ratings
     | 3,982 views

    What’s in a glass of wine? What’s in a tiny glass of wine? Forgiveness, rightness, closeness, conscience-cleansing, redemption, cleansing- that’s what. It’s not so little, is it? The amount of beverage might be little, but it carries big meaning!

    Meaning of the Wine April 5, 2003 Each time we come to church and participate in the Lord’s Supper, the second symbol we use is wine. Now that’s a potentially controversial symbol today, in some circles, but was a very ordinary matter of meals in Jesus’ day, and still is in many cultures. Just ...read more

    What's The Beef?

    It does not take much time or much trouble to get some folks to grumble. We certainly see this with the Israelites of old, and we can see it today.

    ------------------- 1 When the people complained it displeased the LORD. When the LORD heard it, his anger burned, and so the fire of the LORD burned among them, and consumed some of the outer parts of the camp. 2 Then the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire died out. ...read more

    Sitting Before The Lord

    Contributed by Phil Morgan on Apr 2, 2002
    based on 165 ratings
     | 18,478 views

    In an age when people have lost the art of solitude and contemplation, God is waiting for us to SIT before Him. But it matters HOW we sit.

    READ: 2 SAMUEL 7 (Text: v18) There’s something about our culture — we find it very hard to SIT STILL for any length of time. We’ve lost the art of solitude. No time for contemplation. I’m sure King David was a busy man — he had a whole kingdom to run — and yet it’s quite obvious that he still ...read more

    Something Worse Than Going To Hell

     | 76,170 views

    There is something worse than going to hell and something better than going to heaven.

    SOMETHING WORSE THAN GOING TO HELL This message is based in part on a sermon I heard several years ago. The preachers name has long since slipped my mind, but the echo of the living coal I was touched with through that message continues to resonate in my soul. This message is about something ...read more

    A Model Of Worship

    based on 205 ratings
     | 42,499 views

    David’s dance before the Lord and the people of Israel is a perfect model of true worship of which believers today can enter into.

    “A Model Of Worship” TEXT: 2 Sam 6:12-23 (KJV) 12 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with ...read more

    "The Spirits Of Christmas"

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 15, 2002
    based on 43 ratings
     | 7,114 views

    Like Scrooge, we too can reclaim Christmas, with the help of the “spirits” of Christmas Past, Present, and Future

    “The Spirits of Christmas” “Bah, Humbug!” shouted Ebenezer Scrooge, using a mild Victorian form of profanity, meaning “nonsense” or “rubbish”. Charles Dickens depicted Scrooge as the epitome of all cynics hardened to the holiday spirit. Scrooge was stingy, selfish, and heartless. Later on Dr ...read more

    The Gift Of Forgiveness

    Jesus was born unto us bearing the gift of forgiveness. Shouldn’t we extend that same gift to others?

    Good morning, I want to start this morning by us all singing a verse of Silent night. That was great. Singing that song probably brought visions of a Nativity scene to your thoughts.. Maybe of one from your childhood over a mantel. Maybe one in front of a church. Usually they all had the ...read more

    Who do you see, a Messiah or a carpenter?

    What Did You Expect? For most of us, the most powerful negative feeling we will ever experience is the feeling of rejection. People are rejected by their parents, children, spouses, co-workers, friends, peers, and even fellow church members! In our scripture for today, Jesus ...read more
