The Prophet And The Prostitute Series

Contributed by Matt Black on Oct 18, 2019

Why would God ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? What a shocking love story that ultimately points to the greatest love story in God’s Son laying down his life on the cross for an unworthy and unfaithful bride. In the symbolism of Hosea, God is the Prophet and we are the prostitute. What grace!

OUTLINE 1. GOD’S LOVE IS UNDESERVING (1:1-3a). 2. GOD’S LOVE IS URGENTLY NEEDED (1:3b-9). 3. GOD’S LOVE IS UNRELENTING (1:10-2:1). Do you remember when you were a child? When children are small they run to their mother’s arms. We have little children all around here. Those arms of mama and ...read more

Being A Christian Is About Being For Something, Not Just Against Something

Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Oct 29, 2017

A Reformation sermon focussing on Martin Luther's great discovery that God is for something, being a graceful and merciful God and not just against people and things.

A question I would like us to think about as God’s church today How do the people you mix with view Christianity today? How does the media view Christianity today?

When Judging, We Are Judged Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 23, 2017

The Word cautions Christians against a judgemental attitude. When we imagine that we are judging others--even those we identify as "wicked sinners," we expose ourselves to the very judgements we pronounce.

“You have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things.” [1] “We know” is an expression used ...read more

Jesus’ Daughter - Mark 5:21-34 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 2, 2023

Jesus stops in a long delay to draw attention to what happened, and to call this woman “daughter” to teach everyone that the intensity of emotion Jairus had for his daughter is the same way Jesus feels about this despised, unclean woman who trusts him.

Mark 5:21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. 22 One of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet 23 and pleaded earnestly with him, "My little daughter is ...read more

Forgiven To Forgive

A Prayer God Hears

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 24, 2019

Jesus shows two very different prayer styles, and in so doing, reveals two very different heart styles. One will enter the kingdom of heaven; one won't. Our prayer life should reflect humility throughout.

Luke 18:9-14 A Prayer God Hears Last week we looked at a parable where Jesus taught us to be persistent in our prayers: pray always, never give up, and above all, keep the faith! Today, in the very next passage in the Bible, Jesus makes a different point: he really points to the very crux of our ...read more
