In this sermon, I want to complete the preaching on the Fruit of the Spirit.
The last fruit that we are going to deal with is the fruit of Temperance. When I think of the fruit of Temperance, I think of a thermostat. Illus: You know what a thermostat does!

The resurrection of Christ is the most important topic of the Bible. It is not one of the most important, but THE MOST IMPORTANT topic of the Bible.
The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity. Everything else that was said or done by Christ and the Apostles is secondary in importance to the resurrection. That is: • If the resurrection DID NOT take place, then Christianity is a false religion. • ...read more

Shepherds were known for their devotion to the sheep in their care. This parable illustrates Jesus's love for us as the shepherd of our souls who laid down His life for us. His sheep follow Him because they know His voice.
John 10:1 - 10: “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his ...read more
Scripture: John 10:1-10
Denomination: United Methodist
John makes Mary the first to see the risen Christ, and the first to have her tears of grief wiped away by the reality of the resurrection.
It I had a dollar for every tear shed by men and women if the Bible, I would be a wealthy man, for the Bible is a book soaked with the tears of the saints. The weeping of the wicked and the sobs of sinners added to the tears of the saints makes a salty sea of liquid. Not only was Jesus a man of ...read more
Scripture: John 20:11-18
To grow in our walk, we must learn from our failures.
INTRODUCTION • Were you ever naive as a Christian? • Maybe you thought that after you accepted Christ, you would never sin again or that you would never struggle with failure. • We can have unrealistic expectations for ourselves as Christians: We are followers of Jesus, so naturally, the new life ...read more

The antichrists are around all the time and many of them are very nice. If they are going to be saved our radically calling is not to be nice Christians, but sacrificially loving Christians. John teaches us how to do this.
You can listen to this sermon at https://www.npbc.org.au/podcasts/media 1 John 2:18-29 “The Nice Antichrists” When John writes his Epistles it is very clear there has been a division within the church. The division has resulted in a “them” group and an “us” group. In 1 John 2:18-29 John tells us ...read more

In this sermon you'll meet a hardline immigration official and then a not very nice racist. Then ... when they have had their say ... perhaps you will meet Jesus.

I want to discuss a related spiritual phenomenon that has existed for a long time and whose solution is one that I think we can all grasp and work towards. I want us to consider a spiritual labor shortage which is one that was pointed out by Jesus and continues to this day.
TITLE: A LABOR SHORTAGE SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 9:35-38 / ST. LUKE 10:1-4 There has been a lot of talk recently about a current labor shortage, as many businesses find themselves short-staffed and unable to find or keep employees. I will defer to those with more expertise in the economic field ...read more

Jesus' sign of turning the water to wine reveals a bit of how he addresses our earthly and eternal needs.
Introduction I have a problem. I don’t like things on my hands. As a result I wash my hands too often when I’m cooking. Now, you may not see that as a problem, after all, cross contamination of various foods is never good. But I do. The other day, Danielle and I were preparing dinner together. ...read more

“Learning to be Thankful” Luke 17: 11-19 Robert Fulghum wrote an interesting book titled, “All I ever really needed to know about life, I learned in kindergarten.” The book kind of intrigued me because when I was five years old, kindergarten wasn’t required – so I didn’t go. And if the title is ...read more

The paralytic in Mark 2:1-12 had paralysis that was obviously caused by his sin. His suffering and his sin were somehow connected. That is why Jesus enables the paralyzed man to experience healing as forgiveness.
