  • Belshazzar's Feast Series

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 15,181 views

    Belshazzar’s drunken feasting turned into sacrilege resulting in God’s judgement and Daniel courageously delivered God’s verdict to the doomed king.

    DANIEL 5 - BELSHAZZAR’S FEAST This chapter deals with Belshazzar’s feast and makes a striking contrast with the previous chapter which described Nebuchadnezzar’s conversion. Both kings heard the Word of God - and for them it was a final word - but what a difference in their response. The author ...read more

  • A Prayer And A Prophecy Series

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 88 ratings
     | 11,605 views

    Daniel is shown to be a man who depended on the Scriptures and prayer, the secret of his relationship with God, equiping him for a prophetic ministry.

    DANIEL 9 - A PRAYER AND A PROPHECY There are two themes in this chapter - prayer and prophecy. The setting of the narrative is in the reign of King Darius of the Chaldeans. Daniel was a thinking person and he began to wonder what lay ahead for his nation, and as he did this, he revealed the kind ...read more

  • The Temptation To Wield Power Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
     | 7,382 views

    There are two types of power in the world - secular power wielded to serve the individual and God’s kingdom power - given to serve others.

    Jesus and his disciples are on their way to Jerusalem and when the moment is right, James & John take Jesus aside and ask him to grant them a favour. It’s a simple enough request. They want to sit on his right and left hand sides in glory. They’ve understood what he’s just told them about his ...read more

  • Paul's Prayers For His Converts Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 37 ratings
     | 8,154 views

    Paul prays for power, for inner strength, a foundation and experience of love and an awareness of the fullness and glory of God.

    One way of telling what a Christian’s chief concerns and priorities are is to study the contents of their prayers. We all tend to pray about what concerns us, and tend to forget to pray about the things that don’t. At the same time it can be good to listen to others prayers so we can learn and ...read more

  • The Ark Of The Lord

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 120 ratings
     | 16,317 views

    The story of the Ark’s return to Jerusalem is a sharp reminder of what happens if God’s instructions are flouted and the blessing that obedience brings.

    THE ARK OF THE LORD I expect some of you will, like me, have wasted a couple of hours watching the film "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark". It’s a fantasy adventure story loosely based on the fact that the Ark of the Covenant was lost without trace nearly two and a half thousand ...read more

  • God's Love And Ours Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 48 ratings
     | 10,393 views

    The wonderful thing about being made God’s children is that he gives us his Spirit to enable us to be like him, and that likeness is shown most clearly in our love for others. And so, as we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in u

    I always get edgy when I hear someone make a definitive statement about God. There are so many aspects to God that any single statement always feels a bit deficient. So, for example, when someone says God is all-powerful, I find myself waiting for them to add that he’s also all-knowing, and ...read more

  • Bless The Lord, O My Soul

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 177 ratings
     | 50,490 views

    David bares his soul in recording his relationship with God - who Forgives, who Heals, who Preserves, who Provides and who Satisfies.

    Do you ever talk to yourself? In Psalm 103 King David is addressing himself. “Bless the Lord”, he exclaims, “Bless the Lord, O my soul”. It’s clear that he’s holding a conversation with himself. This isn’t by any means a unique experience for a believer. In fact it’s often a sign that a ...read more

  • An Eager Unashamed Debtor For The Gospel

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 74 ratings
     | 6,621 views

    Paul tells the believers at Rome why he is so eager to visit them; because he is a debtor to and is not ashamed of the Gospel.

    I think that most people want to visit the capital city of their homeland. I remember when my parents took the family to London when we were in our teens. To visit the capital was quite an occasion, especially nearly 50 years ago when travelling wasn’t so easy as it is now. It was quite something ...read more

  • A Fool For Christ And An Idiot For Everybody

    Contributed by Michael Bird on Feb 8, 2002
    based on 169 ratings
     | 33,084 views

    This sermon outlines the two main ideas of 1 Cor 1:18-25 as (1) The Cross divides and Unifies; (2) The Cross fulfills God’s plan to outwit human wisdom.

    1 Cor 1:18-25 Introduction [Illustration] I would like you all to play make believe with me for a moment. Pretend that my name is Jose Samblanco and I have just arrived off the boat from Peru and I’m proclaiming to you the good news that a Peruvian peasant by the name Carlos Hernandez was ...read more

  • Characteristics Of Repentance

    Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on Jun 27, 2002
    based on 48 ratings
     | 8,306 views

    Repentance is a life style not just words.

    Colin McGeer Page 1 2002/06/27 Characteristics of Repentance James 4:7-10 7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9Be afflicted, ...read more

  • The Drama Unfolds

    Contributed by William Matthews on Nov 20, 2001
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,774 views

    The Christmas Story told in the form of a drama.

    The Drama Unfolds Luke 2:1-20 INTRODUCTION. The importance of the virgin birth cannot be overstated. Many of the prophecies of the Old Testament depend for their fulfillment upon the incarnation of Jesus Christ. The plan of redemption, the New Testament church, and many other doctrines hinge ...read more

  • An Invitation Not To Be Refused

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 30, 2000
    based on 291 ratings
     | 33,251 views

    Isaiah addresses the demoralised people of Israel now exiled in Babylon inviting them to return to the Lord and freely receive salvation and hope.

    AN INVITATION NOT TO BE REFUSED I read of a visiting preacher who arrived at the church and read the poster announcing him as a "preacher with the unchanged message". He had a nasty moment when he thought that the news had got out that he had only one sermon to his name! Charles Spurgeon got ...read more

  • Home Truths For Christians

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 4, 2000
    based on 69 ratings
     | 5,063 views

    James diagnoses some problems in the churches to which he writes and offers some home truths concerning the Christians' having the Wrong Spirit, the Wrong Friendship and the Wrong Attitude.

    HOME TRUTHS FOR CHRISTIANS The letter written by James is very direct and personal in its message - he doesn't pull his punches. Martin Luther wasn't very keen on this book - he called it "an epistle of straw" because it didn't say much about Jesus or the Cross. But that's an incorrect reading of ...read more

  • The Precious Gift Of Freedom

    Contributed by Don Carpenter on Nov 5, 2000
    based on 94 ratings
     | 8,525 views

    If you study the character of mankind over the centuries, you will find that there is one passion that transcends all languages, cultures, and barriers. Man has an in born desire and drive to be free

    The Precious Gift Of Freedom John 8:31-36 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to ...read more

  • Being Victorious Like Nehemiah

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,725 views

    A sermon that looks at some of the things that pave the way to the victory Nehemiah experiences.

    Victory - This morning on the overhead screen you can see the New Zealand Athlete of the century winning a victory in a running race. Victory is something that is greatly sought after in so many fields of human endevour. Recently the American Political machinery has almost ground to a ...read more
