An Exposition Of 1 Peter, Part 14: Christianity And Slavery

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jan 29, 2022

How does a church consisting of people who have been freed in Christ deal with slavery?

Christianity and Slavery 1 Peter 2:18-20 Introduction In the last study, we discussed the obligation to submit to lawful secular authority at all levels from the king on down. The Church was not to rebel against this authority as all authority comes from God. We are to model good conduct in a ...read more

The Wonder Of Water Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

Water is the blood of the world that gives life to all that God has created. The blood in our veins that keeps us alive is 90% water. Water supply is not just vital for farmers, it is vital to the life of each one of us.

The Bible begins and ends with God in the midst of water. It is the physical substance that is nearest to the spiritual. It is the physical source of all life. There is no known life on earth that can survive without water. God gave birth to the world out of a mass of water as the Holy Spirit ...read more

Good News And A Warning

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 10, 2021

Jesus will come again and establish his kingdom. Great news! But when he does, 'one will be taken and the other left.' It's a sombre warning. For one group, the result is death. We need to understand this message to understand why Jesus had to go the cross.

We’re following Jesus and his disciples on their journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. As Jesus travelled, he taught about ‘the kingdom of God.’ But the Pharisees don’t see much sign of it. So they ask Jesus when it will come. It’s a sensible question! Jesus tells them that the kingdom of God ...read more

Elijah The Prophet Of Fire Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Elijah broke into the atmosphere of human history like a comet. We have no story of his birth or background. His coming was as sudden and mysterious as was his going in the flaming chariot.

Elijah was the Luther of the Old Testament. He was God's man of the hour to begin a reformation and lead the children of Israel back to God. For about 50 years devotion to God had been decreasing. Ahab was now king in Israel, and he was more wicked than all who had gone before him. He married ...read more

The Offense Of The Cross

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 12, 2021

The Offense (Stumbling Blocks) of the Cross Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Galatians 5:7-12 We have an exciting statement from our brother Paul which can be translated in different ways. In Galatians 5:11, the verse can be translated as "the offense of the cross." I found this to be an ...read more

Dos And Don'ts Of Salvation

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 22, 2021

A defibrillator can’t save someone while it’s in its cabinet. It has to be taken down and operated. In the same way, Jesus’ death and resurrection don’t save a person unless a person makes use of them. A person has to respond to them. There are some 'dos' and 'don'ts'.

In recent years something new has appeared on many high streets: defibrillators. Defibrillators can be life-savers if someone suffers a heart attack. They aren’t only on high streets, of course. I like to do ‘Park Run’ (when it’s happening!) and lots of Park Runs have defibrillators. You often ...read more

A Title Of Honor Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

This is the greatest and highest title available to those in the kingdom of God. That is why you will find the Apostles proud to declare themselves to be servants of God.

In the old days when people traveled in coaches the driver would charge three fares. The first class, second class, and third class. All passengers were placed in the same coach and those who paid the first class fare would often complain that there was no difference, and that they receive no ...read more

Tonight, I will bless the Lord at all times, from Psalm 34 verse 1. King David exemplifies a lifestyle of worshipping the Lord regardless of circumstances.

"making Our Home In Jesus"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on May 11, 2022

A sermon about being connected to Christ.

John 15:1-17 “Making our Home in Jesus” In our Gospel Lesson for this morning Jesus likens Himself to a Vine and God the Father to a Farmer. We, believers in Christ, are the branches. But notice that Jesus doesn’t just say that He is any old vine. He says, “I am the Real Vine.” Why ...read more

The Gift Of Salvation Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 16, 2022

Our being alive today can be perceived in two ways, we should be glad that we are alive or we should say thank God that we have been saved or protected from the pangs of death. Let us understand that there is a good reason for the good Lord to keep us alive.

We read in Psalm 91:16,“With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.” (AFV) As we come to the last study on Psalm 91, we will meditate on the last part of verse 16 which says, ‘and show him My salvation’. All of us who have come to this day at the end of this year 2020 can most ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (13 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

We have all heard the proverbial expression The proof is in the pudding." For example, someone might say, "This is real good chocolate pudding."

For example, someone might say, And so someone might say, "I really love God!" But, these are only words. They might be true or they might not be. Just saying something does not make it so! In fact anyone can say anything he wants to say, but that does not make it true. In this passage ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (3 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

In Acts 9, we read of the exciting conversion of the Apostle Paul as he traveled to Damascus to persecute the New Testament Christians.

After the Lord miraculous converted Paul, the Lord told him to go into the city and he would be told what he was to do. The apostle Peter's conversion was unusual as well. The Lord first met him by the sea of Galilee. Look Matthew 4:18, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (8 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

In this passage, we again see Peter obeying the Lord's command: "Feed my sheep”.

There are some things about food that we do not understand: • How you can eat a one pound box of chocolate candy and gain five pounds? • WHY is it that when we sit down to eat a big meal, we call it a "square meal" when it makes us round? Talking about food though, I heard they have ...read more
