    Think On These Things

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jun 24, 2012
     | 9,842 views

    God’s strikingly positive principals for how we can live and think as Christians.

    Today we’re looking at a wonderfully positive passage of Scripture written by a man who, apart from his relationship with Jesus, had every reason not to rejoice, every reason to be anxious. The author of this passage, the Apostle Paul, lived as a hunted man. Having initially come on the scene as ...read more

    John's gospel ends, leaving us reassured in our faith, so we can pray for leaders at all levels in church – that they humbly serve their flocks, and we can all re-fix our eyes on Jesus in love, and follow him, relieved of distracting comparisons.

    Sermon by Rev Ruth Newmarch You know how in some movies, the music tells you the end has come, but sometimes the ending has been so dramatic, that you are still taking it in...the implications and emotions are swirling around the audience. Then credits start to roll, but the director has added in ...read more

    In this book, Paul is sharing from his own experience what Jesus means to him. This morning we looked at the way he shared his own personal testimony. How that Jesus changed his life and made him a new man.

    This matter of things. Philippians 3:1 -- 11. 09/26/04 This is our forth sermon on how to have joy in our Christian journey here on earth. We have talked about the way to spell joy is Jesus first; others second, and yourself last. In this book, Paul is sharing from his own experience what Jesus ...read more

    As Jesus ministered in the region of Galilee, He did some things that some thought to be strange. As a result they glorified God!

    A few years ago, there was a series release on streaming services called “Stranger Things.” The series took place in a small town where strange events were happening - supernatural encounters, weird creatures, fissures into things that seemed like a mirror image of our world. It was truly filled ...read more

    Grip the gospel daily—remember, receive, redirect, rely—and the Spirit will help you guard God’s good deposit.

    Introduction – True North A seasoned sea captain was once asked how he found his way through storms and fog. He pointed to a well-worn brass compass bolted to the deck and said, > “That needle always points north—no matter how hard the wind blows or how thick the clouds are. If I trust the ...read more

    There is no such thing as free will.

    There is no such thing as free will. When Adam was created he had freedom of choice. But after the fall, man's will became the slave of sin! According to the Bible we were the enemies of God! The Bible also declare that we were spiritually dead to God! Dead people can't do nothing! Read carefully ...read more

    In this busy and hectic world of ours, it is often too difficult to accomplish all that we have planned for us. We need to slow the world down and concentrate on One Thing.

    James 1:2-8 Let me offer an explanation first if you will allow me. From this scripture we can deduce four things at a minimum: EXPLANATION 1. The testing of our faith produces steadfastness. 2. If we allow steadfastness to have its full effect, we will only then be perfect and complete, ...read more

     | 99 views

    Living for Jesus means seeing him as clearly as possible and longing to be as much like him as possible.

    Peter was not big on writing letters. He certainly couldn’t hold a candle to Paul, whose pen never seemed to stop, sending letters all over Asia, explaining, encouraging, correcting. But of course being under house arrest made letter writing the best way to keep in touch with all the churches Paul ...read more

    Farewell sermon.

    There is nothing more poignant than considering the end of things. Whenever we experience the end of things it helps us consider what is really important. I was struck this week by John Piper’s journal entry: He recounted as he sat beside the bed of his father keeping a vigil. He monitored his ...read more
