    All Christian agree that Christ is their king, but king of what? To many, humility and servitude smack of weakness, yet it is the true source of power, strength and authority, and this message today is not radiating from our churches.

    This sermon was delivered at Holy Trinity, Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on Sunday the 20th November 2016; Holy Trinity is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. The readings for today are: Jeremiah 23:1-6 Canticle 16 Colossians 1:11-20 Luke 23:33-43 Please ...read more

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Martha Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/21/2016 For the last few of weeks, we’ve been talking about how you might respond if God called your name—not just once, but twice. As I mentioned before, God calls plenty of people in the Bible often ...read more

    Going beyond the superficial in knowing God through Jesus Christ

    JESUS IDENTIFIED John 1:29-36, 40-51 Most of us carry with us some form of identification that is “proof” of who we are. In many cases this ID is a driver’s license that has our picture and our name along with some physical descriptions and a unique number that references a data ...read more

    How many people do you think are mentioned by name in the Bible? According to the Biographical Bible, 2nd Edition, there are 3,237 people mentioned by name in the Scriptures. How do the stories of hundreds and hundreds of people intersect with our lives? Their stories are our stories.

    How many people do you think are mentioned by name in the Bible? That’s an interesting question, isn’t it? Perhaps you already know the answer. Or maybe like me you never really thought about it. So, for those who don’t know the answer I am going to ask you to make a guess. Give it some ...read more

    Mission Possible

    Peter could only do the impossible as long as he focused on Jesus instead of on his surroundings.

    As sometimes happens, this sermon took a turn I had not expected once I really got into it. Not a very big one, mind you, but I would up focusing on the gospel lesson instead of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. I do like, when I can, to tie the three lessons together, and these three seemed to be ...read more

    Fasting Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 22, 2022
     | 2,232 views

    This sermon addresses the reality that Jesus fasted so we should fast. Jesus understood the importance of fasting when it came to spiritual warfare, and he also understood the importance of fasting when it came to intimacy with God. It is a spiritual practice that still has validity for today.

    Good morning. We are continuing our series called Learning to Live Like Jesus. A series that is based on the extended passage known as the Sermon on the Mount. The past few weeks, we have been looking at chapter 6 that really speaks of the obstacles to living life in the kingdom. A few weeks ...read more

    Seventh in this series. The main point of the Parable of the Good Samaritan is that eternal life isn't a matter of what I must do for God bu rather what God has done for me.

    This week as I was preparing for this message I did as I often do after I first spend time with the text itself and looked at some other sermons on this passage just to get a feel for how others handle this parable. And in the process I ran across what seemed to me to be a pretty good sermon on the ...read more

    There are times when we do not know what to pray. Paul gives us an example of what to pray at those or any time.

    A Prayer You can Always Pray Ephesians 1:15-17 S. I. C. C. August 5, 2001 (Morning Service) I would have liked to have seen Paul’s prayer list. It must have been a douse. I am sure he prayed for all the churches he started and for the ones he had heard about and acquired an affinity ...read more
