    Keep Calm And Carry On - A Sermon For Ash Wednesday

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Feb 17, 2013
     | 8,620 views

    A sermon for Ash Wednesday - for a UK congregation

    Joel 2:1-2 & 12-17 John 8:1-11 I’m beginning, totally unsuitably for Lent, with an expression of pride. I’m very proud of my collection of the complete set of Carry On films - it’s the earthy British humour of the 1960s and 1970s at its best (or worst, depending upon your point ...read more

    Biblical Basic about Salvation that EVERY Believer SHOULD know!

    The Hebrew and Greek words for salvation imply the ideas of deliverance, safety, preservation, healing, and soundness. Salvation is the great inclusive word of the Gospel gathering into itself all the redemptive acts and processes: 1. Justification - Declaration of righteousness. 2. Redemption ...read more

    The New Testament writings (Scriptures) come to us as a direct result of the prophecy given in portions of John 14-17.

    Jesus appeals to the authority of Scripture in John 5, saying that it is they which testified of Him. 39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses ...read more

    Realities Trump Ideas Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 13, 2016
     | 3,534 views

    Ideas disconnected from realities give rise to ineffectual forms of idealism and nominalism, capable at most of classifying and defining, but certainly not calling to action. What calls us to action are realities illuminated by reason.

    Thursday of First Week in Lent 2016 Joy of the Gospel St. Luke’s Gospel tells the same story about Jesus’s teaching on prayer, but instead of saying the Father will give us “good things,” Luke says He will give us the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, that is the gift that keeps on ...read more

    Pastors and Churches are not mandated to do marriages and should stop and get back on mission.

    Gen 2 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, ...read more

    Lesson 11: A Teaching Sermon Series

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Mar 14, 2018
     | 4,429 views

    We will discuss modifying the sermon outline to a teaching format, and share a brief introduction to how we can reach people who learn by different methods.

    Lesson Goal I hope to encourage obedience to Jesus' command to teach in Matthew 28. Lesson Intro Jesus instructed the disciples to both preach the Gospel (Mark 16:15) and teach those who responded, to obey what he had taught them (Matthew 28:19-20). Preaching is more or less gospel work, and ...read more

    The calling out of the Remnant.

    A REASONABLE OFFER. Isaiah 1:1, Isaiah 1:10-20. The opening of this wonderful Book of Isaiah introduces us to a Ministry which, on a conservative estimate, spanned some 64 years. The first verse (Isaiah 1:1) tells us of (I) its Divine authorship: it was a “vision”; (II) its human authorship: ...read more

    A warning not only for Israel then, but for the church now. The long-suffering of God.

    TOUGH LOVE. Matthew 23:13-39. 1. Jesus spares not to warn those who are on the path to “the damnation of hell” (Matthew 23:33), using such expressions as “woe unto you” (eight times), “hypocrites” (seven times), “blind guides” or “fools and blind” (five times), “ye serpents, (ye) generation of ...read more

    The Catechism teaches that the spouses are ministers of the sacrament of Matrimony by expressing their consent before the Church. They confer Christ’s grace upon each other (no. 1623).

    Today’s readings bring before us some fundamental teachings on marriage. Marriage requires a couple to prepare 4 types of "RINGS”: - The Engagement Ring - The Wedding Ring - The Suffer-Ring - The Endue-Ring 1) One highlight on marriage from Saint Pope John Paul II-- Is on what he calls ...read more

    How Is It fair to throw the poor guy out in the street?

    Twenty-eighth Sunday in Course 2020 I encountered today’s Gospel for the first time when I was a teenager. I’m sure I’d heard it in Church before, but it was a Scripture course and I wanted to learn as much as I could. But when I read the punch line, right at the end where Jesus quotes this king ...read more

    What Revelations Has To Say To The U.s. Church Series

    Do we have anything in common with the first-century church of Ephesus? Unfortunately, yes we do. Too much have we abandoned the love of Christ we had at first.

    Monday of 33rd Week in Course 2020 In this penultimate week of the Church year, the Church gives us snippets from the Book of Revelations, the last and in some ways most difficult book of the New Testament. You see today the style of the letters; the ones we have this week are written to churches ...read more

    Is communion symbolic, an ordinance, a sacrament, a memorial or all of the above? Does it even matter?

    The Wedding Model Of Communion

    Contributed by Dale London on Jun 1, 2022
     | 2,160 views

    Throughout the Gospels, Jesus keeps returning to the model of marriage to describe our relationship with God. We often miss is the significance of our covenant of betrothal to Christ as solemnised in the Lord's Supper.

    Many of you will have noted how I keep coming back to the subject of covenant when we come together for communion; that when we share the cup – even figuratively – we are reaffirming an agreement we have with God. The agreement is that we accept the gift of Christ’s death on the cross as atonement ...read more
