    Zechariah announces the divine blessing of faithful obedience to be realized during that time & in full during the future Messianic Age. At that time God's people will rejoice with great joy, gladness & experience popularity.

    ZECHARIAH 8: 18-23 WHEN FASTING BECOMES FEASTING In the previous chapter Zechariah proclaimed to the people the mere externals and empty ritualism in their observance of the fasts as well as pointing out to them the sins and transgression which caused their suffering (7:1-7). He also gave them ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,417 views

    Good stewardship is more than just giving of money, time or things to God. It is about the HEART of stewardship - a heart of worship (love for God), a heart of faith (trust in God) and a heart of generosity (gladness).

    This is the last of a series of 5 messages on stewardship, and probably the most important. Good stewardship is more than just giving of money, time or things to God. It is about the HEART of stewardship. • In order words, good stewardship is a matter of ATTITUDE. The attitude behind our ...read more

    This is a Father’s Day Sermon that points out how difficult it is to be a good father, but that thankfully, it’s not something we do without help from above

    "GOD MEASURES THE HEART" Introduction: I DON’T LIKE FATHER’S DAY! Let Me Be Honest And Get That Out of The Way Right Now Father’s day, for a preacher is a royal pain in the neck. If the preacher is a male, that is. And especially if the preacher is a Father. And ...read more

    The Son’s Authority Of Life And Judgment Series

    Contributed by Ron Tuit on Jun 23, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,898 views

    The Son is equal to the Father in every aspect, including authority over life and judgment. Just because the Son is submissive to the Father does not imply that He is inferior to the Father!

    The Son’s Authority of Life and Judgment John 5:24-29 Sometimes we use the expression, “It’s a matter of life and death” when it really isn’t. But in John 5:24, Jesus explains that to believe in Him and EVERYTHING that the Bible conveys about Him as the Eternal Son ...read more

    Do I Even Belong?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025
     | 109 views

    Through Christ, every orphaned heart finds adoption and belonging—turning lament into song and distance into home in the Father’s embrace.

    I. The Song That Never Dies Every culture has its songs of longing — the melodies that rise from somewhere words cannot reach. The Irish have “Danny Boy.” The Armenians sing “Dle Yaman.” The Jews mourn “By the Rivers of Babylon.” And from the dark fields of the American South came one of the most ...read more

    How To Say Goodbye

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 11, 2023
     | 1,702 views

    I am glad that when the apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesian church, he apparently had enough room to say all that he wanted to say and what he wished for the church.

    Alba 9-10-2023 HOW TO SAY GOODBYE Ephesians 6:23-24 People don't write letters as much as they used to do. We do more texting now on our phones. It is really kind of sad since a lot of good conversation between people will be lost in the netherworld, if there is such a place. Every letter ...read more

    Most all of us in this room are so glad and grateful that Jesus came to earth! But did you ever stop and think about what this time of the year would be like if Jesus HAD NOT come to earth?

    WHAT IF JESUS HAD NOT COME? Isaiah 9:6 Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder.

    I’m really sorry Kon isn’t here. Kon is my best mate, and was my trainer and corner-man for all my fights, and it’s not that I need him here ‘in my corner’ when I’m preaching.

    Our Gospel reading this week confronts us with a series of parables - the sort that my dad (if he was still alive) might well have referred to as MacDonaldtown Parables. I don’t know if you’re familiar with MacDonaldtown Station. It‘s not far from our church building. I don’t believe there’s ...read more
