    The Wedding Model Of Communion

    Contributed by Dale London on Jun 1, 2022
     | 1,733 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

     | 1,752 views

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

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

    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

    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

     | 1,708 views

    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.

    Scourge Of The Tongue

    Contributed by James Dina on Jul 20, 2020
     | 11,228 views

    The tongue is a small weapon. It is a great mercy to be delivered from the tongue. The tongue was originally made to be an organ of God’s praise but it has now become an instrument of unrighteousness. The tongue inflicts greater wounds than the sword.

    SCOURGE OF THE TONGUE Job 5:21 ---- "You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes." The tongue is a small weapon, but it is a cutting one; it is like a scourge ...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
     | 2,244 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.
