    The immutability of the Promise, and the purpose of the Law.

    THE PROMISE AND THE LAW. Galatians 3:16-22. 1. The Changeless Promise. Galatians 3:16-18. In GALATIANS 3:16, the Apostle Paul demonstrates from Scripture that the promises that the LORD made to Abraham are fulfilled in our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Saying Yes To God

    Contributed by Brian William on Nov 10, 2005
    based on 26 ratings
     | 39,419 views

    When God became human, God said yes to humanity. When Jesus was obedient to the point of death, Jesus said yes to God. Because God said yes to us, we can say yes to God!

    Yes, no, maybe so. Yes, no, maybe so. Each and every day we’re faced with dozens of decisions – things or people or places or events that we must say yes or no to. Yes, I’ll have chicken for dinner tonight. No, I won’t have beef. Yes, I’ll go to work this morning. No, I won’t stay even a minute ...read more

    Using Thomas as an example of resurrected faith overcoming blinding doubt

    I know we all have heard about Thomas. “Doubting Thomas;” poor ole doubting Thomas. The guy has caught grief for 2000 years and my guess is that he will catch grief for the next 2000 years – or until the Lord returns. To be honest, I feel for the guy. Our tradition has singled him out as having ...read more

    What to pray for people in God’s family. God already has a plan that He is working in each of us, but these 4 elements can result in a stronger, healthier, more united church – if we will take the time to pray for one another.

    Praying for God’s Family Ephesians 1:15-23 Intro: We continue our study in Ephesians today. In the first 14 verses we talked about what it meant to be “in Christ.” There is no better place to be than in Christ. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away; all things ...read more

    See God As He Is 1) Awesomely Holy 2) Totally Forgiving; 3) Mightily Motivating

    Do you know what an ultra violet camera does? A UV camera can record the spectrum of light that we can’t see with our naked eyes. Inspectors use UV cameras to look for gas leaks at refineries lest the gasses escape unnoticed and harm the surrounding environment. It’s not just refinery ...read more

    verse by verse through Acts

    [2] Through the first eight chapters of the book of Acts we’ve seen some amazing things happen in the early church. We’ve seen thousands of people get saved. We’ve seen incredible miracles happen through the hands of the apostles. And we’ve also seen intense opposition to ...read more

    Giving a clear testimony of the Gospel is part of being a follower of Christ.

    Testimony. What goes through your mind when you hear that word? Maybe a court scene and telling about a crime you witnessed. Or making a statement to the Police. Or standing in front of a large group to share your personal experience with God. The word “testimony” comes from the word ...read more

    Seeing God As He Is Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 11, 2012
     | 7,709 views

    This is an introduction to the series. How we see affects our relationship with Him and the way we live. Our view of Him is affected by how see Him and how we think He sees us. We must not assume that God is just like us or reduce Him to human terms.

    [Adapted from Chip Ingram’s book God: As He Longs for You to See Him.] We are starting a new series called – God: as He Longs for You to See Him. Why is there a need to see God rightly? John 17:3, 25-26 – In Jesus’ pre-departure prayer: 3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only ...read more

    The Child Jesus Held In His Arms

    When we come to the faith and are baptised, we are forever held in Jesus’ arms.

    Only a few Sundays ago, I preached on the story of Jesus picking up a little child and holding him in his arms (Mark 9:30-37) St. Mark did not name the child. But guess what? A tradition in the church says the child is none other than Ignatius, a native of Syria. This is the boy who later became ...read more

    Is The Lord Your Shepherd?

    David knew what it meant to be a shepherd. David knew what it meant to be shepherded. During times of loss, we too can find God as our shepherd.

    Read Psalm 23 David wrote this Psalm (song). He was a shepherd as a youngster growing up. Came from a large family of which he was one of the youngest boys, hence the job taking care of the sheep. Story is told of how David’s sheep were threatened on two occasions by a bear and a lion.

    Flasks Of Oil!

     | 5,473 views

    Alas, at the last minute the foolish ones ran out of stock and thus they missed the bridegroom and the marriage feast, and the door was shut!

    Flasks of oil! Mathew 25:4” the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.” Christian faith is disconcertingly shallow, as shallow as a puddle of water on a sidewalk these days! People daringly confess, “ I have no time for prayer, fasting or Bible reading! I’m just busy, ...read more

    Staying faithful through difficult circumstances.

    The sermons that I have listed are 30 to 40 minute sermons. I have only listed the points and a couple of comments under each point of each sermon to give the preacher a remembrance which the Holy Spirit can lead on and speak through the man of God.

    A short devotion regarding what is happening in the world.

    I want to comment just a little about all that is happening in the world today. I was only 5 hours by air from the terrible earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan and although we did not feel any of the tremors, I did see firsthand the affect it had on the nation of Japan. Just days ...read more
