Why Did Jesus Come To This Earth And A Die As A Common Criminal?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 20, 2015

Why did Jesus come to this earth as a tiny baby, a die as a common criminal. What hope do we have for the future knowing that God himself was innocently crucified. This sermon is subtly hard hitting, giving hope for the future.

Note: The hymns "The sermon King" and "I cannot tell" to the tune Danny Boy are perfect for the sermon. Introduction One of the greatest yet strangest of stories in the bible is that of almighty God coming into this world and living as we do. ... And there is an even stranger story is that he did ...read more

God Is In Control! But What About Your Part?

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jun 25, 2023

God is control of all things, but you do have a part to play in it all. God wants us to submit to authorities, but are you following God's will by voting for the person who should be in office?

God is in Control! But What About Your Part? Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring ...read more

Why Does God Allow Suffering!

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Dec 21, 2022

Satan isn’t omnipotent. He can only do what God allows. So why does God allow Satan to continue to roam the earth seeking whom he can devour? Why does God delay judgment of the wicked while we suffer?

The Lord waited so that Noah could be saved. … In the days of Noah, God waited with long-suffering while Noah prepared the ark in which eight souls were saved from the flood. 1 Peter 3:20 Seeing the wickedness of man and knowing that the imagination of his heart was only evil continually, the ...read more

Grace!

Contributed by Jaco Bester on Mar 30, 2004

I Met Him When I Had No Choice Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 28, 2021

Jesus stands before Pilate. It seems that Jesus is being swept away by the events surrounding Him but the TRUTH is that Jesus is the only one in control. It is Pilate and the Jewish leaders who are being swept up in a battle that they cannot see or control.

Governor Pilate stood on the balcony of the praetorium, his headquarters, and looked down at the mobs milling around in the streets below. “Ugh!” he thought. Jewish pilgrims, priests, vendors, thieves, rebels, beggars, prostitutes … rabble! … all crammed into Jerusalem’s narrow streets … and it ...read more
