Sunny Side Sermon V: Christian Battle Armor - What A Shame Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jul 1, 2020

In our fallen world, threats toward God's People are intended to silence voices of God's Truth. Though we don't like the idea of warfare, Christian disciples must be equipped with spiritual armor to fight the good fight of faith.

CHRISTIAN BATTLE ARMOR? WHAT A SHAME! It was a crying shame that, in June of this year, a gunman opened fire on softball teams made up of congressmen in Washington! No one suspected it could happen, yet it did happen - two teams practicing to ...read more

Sermon # 46 - Are You Running Away? Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 29, 2023

Are you trying to run away from God ordained relationships because you are unable to handle them? Stop and get back to God and submit to His authority. The Lord can do wonders to restore relationships, and He will bring peace to our restless hearts.

If one were to describe this period of time, in which we are living, we can depict it as a time when people are constantly running away. We hear of families who are in distress, because the husband or wife chose to walk away from home leaving their spouse and children in a state of abandonment. ...read more

Doing What God Asks Us To Do!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jul 9, 2006

God gave Saul an instruction but Saul only half-carried it out. This short homily is a challenge to us: Let’s do all that God asks us to do; nothing more AND nothing less!

In these days of terrorism this Bible event is hard for us to understand; and I know of one or two people who have rejected God because of it. The irony is of course that the story is primarily kept for us as a warning not to reject God’s instructions! Hundreds of years ago, stories such as this ...read more

"Our Father Which Art In Heaven”

Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jan 30, 2008

In short, Jesus is teaching us how to pray. Jesus said, “After this manner therefore pray ye.” The word “manner” simply means “in this way.” Jesus was saying that this is the way we ought to pray.

Matthew 6:9-13 “Our Father which art in heaven” I read about a soldier who was caught one night returning to his quarters from the nearby woods, and he was charged with holding communications with the enemy. The soldier pleaded that he had gone into the woods to pray. The commanding ...read more

Jesus Prayed For Complete Unity!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on May 19, 2010

A short talk for a midweek Communion calling upon local believers to pray for, work for and live for the complete unity that Jesus prayed for. Not uniformity (because we're all different) but UNITY, in Jesus.

Jesus prayed to his Heavenly Father for you. On the night he was betrayed and arrested (John 18:2), after he had washed his disciples’ feet (13:5), Jesus prayed an important prayer for you as individuals, for us together, and for the worldwide body of believers. He prayed for future ...read more

Leper (If It Be Thy Will)

Contributed by Tony Abram on Aug 28, 2010

In this short outline we point out that only one man in the Bible questioned if it was the 'Will of God' for Jesus to heal him. We will try to give a very plausible reason for this and also the importance of the Word of God.

LEPER (IF IT BE THY WILL) Luke 5:12-15 (KJV) 12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I ...read more

A very short talk given to a few hundred school children aged between 5 and 9 plus a lot of their parents, at the Buttsbury Schools Year 1 to 4 Christmas Carol concerts at Christ Church.

(Note to the reader - I will begin by showing a brief 1 minute video about why Christmas is special, with contributions from young children, in which they say that Jesus came to live with us because he loves everybody, because he wanted us to be good not bad, to fix the problems we were having, ...read more
