    Realities Trump Ideas Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 13, 2016
     | 3,497 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

     | 8,575 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

    With the Pentecost Sunday on the anvil, to focus on the factors that contributed to the resounding "success" of the Early Church with the primary focus on responsibilities of the laity.

    Speaking in tongues sounds so foolish and it is for that reason many Christians do not speak or pray in tongues. However, it activates a power that unfolds the secrets and mysteries that God has in His heart for each and every one of His children

    Changed Lives Through Ownership

     | 4,072 views

    There is a difference between owning and renting/borrowing. You treat things differently when you are invested in them.

    Quotes: "I have held many things in my hand, and have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands that I still possess." -Martin Luther “Resolution, like responsibility, is a product of ownership." - Richard Eyre Matthew 13:45-46; I Corinthians 6:19-20 There is a difference ...read more

    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.

    The Wedding Model Of Communion

    Contributed by Dale London on Jun 1, 2022
     | 2,106 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

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Fifteen. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    The Logic Of Pursuing Godliness Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 11, 2020
     | 2,499 views

    Paul clearly taught salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Such a teaching could easily raise two objections Paul addresses. And in doing so, he charts God’s agenda for holy living for the believer.
