Mothers Day: Not Gospel Sermon, But A Tribute With Humour.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 23, 2014

Abraham's Model Of Progression In Faith

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Mar 13, 2014

All the stories of the bible are beautiful but some are timeless like the calling of Abraham. Abraham is referred to as the “father of faith” and as we examine his life and faith, I see a four part progression begining with obedience.

Heaven’s High Standard

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 10, 2010

Matthew shows us Jesus as the preacher of the kingdom of heaven. He shows us just how high heavens standards are and how to properly understand the law. Be perfect, like your Father! That’s the whole point.

Matthew seems to have been written to a Jewish community under fire for their faith. He talks about the kingdom of heaven in ways that suggest how hard it is to enter. The beatitudes begin and end with words that describe hardship and persecution. Why? Probably because that is what those were ...read more
