    based on 53 ratings
     | 4,201 views

    First in a series of sermons called "A Classic Christmas." Using a short clip from some Christmas Classics, these messages seek to help the hearer focus on the true meaning of Christmas.

    A CLASSIC CHRISTMAS: A GREATER MIRACLE THAN THE ONE ON 34TH STREET Matthew 1:18-25 INTRODUCTION: A. Over the past few years I have had a growing appreciation for some of the old classic movies 1. I suppose that it all began with April and Alan getting involved in the plays at school a. The ...read more

    How Good Is Good Enough?

    Contributed by Matthew Oliver on Jan 7, 2002

     | 4,712 views

    If we define goodness in human terms we will always fall short of Christ’s example. God calls us to give our concerns over to him in faith and trust.

    Sermon for the Feast of Pentecost 3 June 2001 Preached at St John the Evangelist, Cold Lake Acts 2:1-21 Romans 8:14-17 John 14:8-27 Psalm 104:24-35 How Good is Good Enough?

    This message came from a series I did entitled "Witnesses", focusing on those who were eyewitnesses of Christ. Each message was prefaced with a short dramatic monologue, which is included.

    Peter Man, am I confused right now. They say, “when the goin’ gets tough, the tough…go fishin’.” Well, that’s where I am; I been fishin’ since I was 2 years old, me and Andrew; it’s the only life we ever knew…’til like three years ago.

    Identity Theft

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Aug 31, 2004
    based on 20 ratings
     | 3,740 views

    A short devotional about how God called Solomon by a name no-one else ever called him. Solomon didn’t walk in God’s love and acceptance.

    2 Samuel 12:24-25 – Identity Theft “Who am I?” God said this baby’s name would be Jedidiah – “loved by the Lord”. But it’s never recorded anywhere else – nobody ever called him that. Even though God said who he was, nobody ever accepted it. Neh 13:26 – mentions God loved him, and that’s it. KEY ...read more

    Are You 'whole'? Are You Thankful?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 17, 2007
     | 2,273 views

    A short talk given at a midweek communion service. Anyone (absolutely anyone) who calls out to Jesus for pity, mercy, forgiveness, will receive it; but are we thankful? Are we ’whole’?

    Jesus brings wholeness. We bring thankfulness. What have you brought with you to this service of Holy Communion today? By that I don’t mean shopping trolleys, or shopping lists, or an umbrella in case it rains, or that letter which you forgot to post. What have you brought to Church today? Have you ...read more

     | 3,072 views

    If you knew that your time on earth was short, how would that change the way you lived? Today we are going to embark on a study into the beginning of the end for Jesus here on earth.

    The Beginning Of The End – Part 1 Matthew 16:21-28 The first two section of our study of this 16th Chapter of Matthew focused on two ideas: that the expectations we have of God and of others will inevitably lead to disappointment and discontentment if we do not have biblical, God-given ...read more

    Never Too Late?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 19, 2006
     | 3,716 views

    This is a short talk given at a lunch for mainly elderly people, many of whom have known recent bereavement, and some of whom may not yet consider themselves Christians or Church Members.

    Never too late? Shortly after I passed my driving test I was due to travel from my then home in Yateley, Hampshire, UK for a weekend away somewhere in Wales. It was the furthest I had ever driven at the time and my mother very kindly allowed me to use her car. Sadly the car was (for me back then) ...read more

     | 8,942 views

    Even if we successfully and rightly destroy the obstacles, fortify, and depend on the LORD for revival and peace, what is gained will be shallow and short-lived without an active commitment to Whole-Hearted Perseverance!

    WHOLE-HEARTED PERSEVERANCE Fourth in Series – “Peace That Expands & Lasts: Lessons from Asa” 2 Chronicles 15:1-19 Rev. Todd G. Leupold, Perth Bible Church, Sunday 8/24/2008 AM INTRODUCTION: So far, in examining the lessons from King Asa regarding revival and turning a state of chaos into one of ...read more

    Where, what or who do you look to when you are faced with trouble? There is one place you can go that you can always find comfort. (Short Sermon)

    Advent: Slow Down! Sharpen Your Axe.

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 28, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,854 views

    A short talk for the start of the busy Advent season. This talk uses one of may favourite stories to encourage people to rest, stop, slow down in the midst of a busy time to rest.

    Jesus said, “Come with me … to a quiet place and get some rest” (Mark 6:31). One of my favourite stories is about the world wood chopping competition. Now the champion was a bit older than he used to be – well, who isn’t – but he was still the champion. Everyone ...read more

     | 3,642 views

    A short talk given at our December Pensioners' Praise. During the year our theme has been The Promises of God and I was asked to talk about God's promise to Mary.

    An Angel is a Messenger of God, and the Messenger said: “Do not be afraid, Mary. You have found favour with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus” (30-31). If a Messenger from God were to say to me, “Warner, do not be afraid. You have ...read more

    Grateful Worship

     | 5,162 views

    A very short talk given at a midweek Communion service, looking at the firstfruits brought to the Temple. Today, our offerings should also be used to bless the foreigner, the asylum seeker and the Priest!

    I wonder how you will react when in just a moment I rephrase verse eleven of this Bible reading. We’ve just heard about an important act of worship in the life of Israel. As a response of thanks and praise to God for bringing them into the Land he promised (26:3), worshippers were required ...read more

    The promise of heaven is a guarantee (through God’s Grace) for every person whose name is written in The Book of Life! Hallelujah! This is a short homily given at a mid week communion service.

    John – the beloved disciple – the cousin of Jesus – the disciple whom Jesus loved is now well advanced in years and on the Lord’s Day – the Sabbath – he is meditating upon God – filled with the Holy Spirit (Revelation 1: 10).

    A short sermon using baseball images to explain how Christians can feel pain despite Christ’s High Priestly prayer "protect them from the evil one."

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Three in One who provides your place in the Church and won’t give it away to anyone beside you. It was a nightgame.
