    Celebrating life change that occurs through the Holy Spirit. This is a sermon that I have previously used and altered for the current situation in Fiji.

    When I think of the word, Pentecost I think of an Island that was discovered on that day in 1768 that is now one of the Islands of Vanuatu that I have flown over and that is the home of the original Bungy jump. Pentecost as a historical Jewish festival goes by a few different names that have ...read more

    A simple Christmas Day sermon around the theme of humility. A little shorter than normal and I tried to be jargon free.

    Introduction—humility. Someone once said, “Swallow your pride occasionally, it’s non-fattening”. I wish on a day like today that fruit cake, chocolate and pavlova were non-fattening. One of my favourite humility sayings is, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, its thinking of yourself ...read more

     | 1,080 views

    In a world saturated with deception and shifting opinions—even infiltrating the church—believers must stand firm in the timeless truth of God's Word, pursue godliness through disciplined devotion, and anchor their hope in Christ, who alone is the unchanging way, truth, and life.

    Staying True in a Time of Deception 1 Timothy 4:1-10 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Immanuel Kant and other constructivists would argue that truth is not something objective, but rather the construction of each person’s mind, shaped by perceptions, experiences, and ...read more

    We have made our churches so churchy that we forgot the very words of Jesus Himself in its very beginning...

    I have titled this sermon “Biology of the Breathe of Life”, because we are studying here Life itself. The origin of everything. I want to title it before as Evolution of the Breathe of Life, but Life for me could not evolve but complete in itself. God is Life. No beginning and no end. There can be ...read more
