The Significance Of The Place Of Jesus’ Birth Series

Contributed by Charl Swart on Dec 20, 2015

What is the significance with regards to the place, Bethlehem and the manger, where Jesus was born. Can we find any significance in it. Does it have any meaning for us today. After all, God did choose where Jesus should be born. The question is why there?

INTRODUCTION I want to start off with a couple of related questions this morning: • Why are you here in this place, in this church, this morning? • Why are you in South Africa and not in America or Europe or Asia? • Why are you at the work you are at? • Why are you in the ...read more

Welcome Home

Contributed by Ray Ellis on Oct 16, 2006

Jesus told three parables about lost sheep, a lost coin and a lost son. The stories highlight the truth that missing people matter to God. God places tremendous value on every individual. All heaven rejoices when one person repents and turns to God.

“Welcome Home” Luke 15:11-27 Those of you who have had or currently have sons can closely identify with the story Jesus told about a rebellious son. The rebellious son was the teenager and the other son was obedient and probably in his twenties. In Luke chapter 15 Luke records that Jesus made ...read more

The Lord Who Leads Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 20, 2003

Since this psalm is so familiar, we’re in danger of missing the depth of its meaning. And, because it’s setting is in the world of sheep and shepherds, many of us city slickers can slide right past its richness.

The Lord Who Leads Most everyone has heard of Psalm 23. It’s a poem with no peer and has been called the sweetest song ever sung. Abraham Lincoln read it to cure his blues, and President Bush proclaimed it publicly to calm our nation’s fears after 9-11. I read these words out loud a week ago ...read more

Shall We Smite? Two Swords?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 17, 2006

We must address this question: SHALL WE SMITE? Or What are we going to do with our swords? We do not need to be in bitter contention, debate, argue, fuss, there is a better way. Shall we smite? No, feed them!

Evicted But Not Abandoned Series

Contributed by Preacher Fo Real on May 12, 2011

God loves us and gives us a generous portion of His grace and mercy to be able to feed, clothe ourselves, and exist in our right mind. However, God’s favor or goodwill goes farther than we expect it should.

Early this morning, I sat looking into the dark sky and the verses from Psalm 30: 5 entered my mind. I watched the shadows of darkness flee from the coming morning light and heard the word of God speak, ‘For his anger endures but a moment; in his favor is life.’ Suddenly, the noise of daybreak ...read more

Go In To Possess

Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 12, 2013

Sometimes we expect God to spoon-feed us! We want the ‘blessings’ wrapped with colorful, glossy paper and given to us; it does not happen that way, there are times we got to just move forward and possess it.

Go in to possess! Nehemiah 9:15”You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, And brought them water out of the rock for their thirst, And told them to go in to possess the land Which You had sworn to give them.” Observe the title once more, it is not 'go in and possess' but it ...read more

Dumb Dogs Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 14, 2013

Jesus is not impressed with the outward trappings of self-righteousness. He is impressed with a heart full of simple faith, which we find most often in the hearts of those we least expect. So like Jesus feed the "dogs" and touch the "dumb."

Dumb Dogs (Mark 7:24-37) I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. "If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring ...read more

The Bag Of Opportunity

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 11, 2015

When the young boy's mom packed his lunch bag of a few biscuits and some fish, she never knew the opportunity of the miracle of Jesus feeding thousands? We refuse to see the opportunities for us. (I use 7 bags)

Quench Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Jun 14, 2021

1 Thessalonians 5:19 says “Do not quench the Spirit.” How do we obey that? How do we stay hungry and thirsty for God? How do we feed the flame of the Holy Spirit in our lives?

Fire Of The Contentious

Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Aug 27, 2022

A contentious spirit is like fire which burns up all that is good, and puts families, friends and co-workers at odds. This spirit finds a small fire of strife, kindles it and keeps feeding the issues which cause distrust, hatred or malice.

Fire Of the Contentious The Negative Influences of a Person Who Seeks Strife The King James Bible tells us “As coals are to burning coals, and wood to a fire; So is a contentious man to kindle strife.” (Proverbs 26:21) “Contentious” (?????? ma?ôn) means to be argumentative, a person who is ...read more

As followers of Jesus Christ, we know that the Word of God is essential for wisdom, direction, spiritual nourishment and power for life and ministry. Developing an ongoing habit of ‘feeding on the Word’ can be challenging, but it is as important to our spiritual life as ‘eating’ is to our physical.

Today Salvation Has Come To This House

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Jul 9, 2017

Jesus came to "seek out and save what was lost" and He told many stories to illustrate this – Prodigal Son, the lost coin, the lost sheep. But Jesus puts these stories into action when He met Zacchaeus.

In The Presence Of The Lord - Sermon Ii: No Fear Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Oct 31, 2019

God is love personified and perfected. Perfect love casts out fear. The Son - mirror image of the Father - assures His flock with a "no fear" sense of security as does a shepherd his sheep.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD - SERMON II: NO FEAR The second jewel of truth is that, in the House of the Lord – in the eternal presence of the Lord God – there is NO FEAR. The second verse of the Psalm says this: “He makes me lie down in green pastures, ...read more
