Grow Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 8, 2023

Christian growth is a complex process involving God's Word, fellowship, prayer, and worship, but ultimately, it is God who causes the growth, similar to a farmer who prepares the soil and plants the seed, but relies on God for the growth.

Last week we began a new 4-week series called Rooted. The agricultural imagery is strong with this series, and we will be talking a lot today about seeds, soil, and growth. After a seed is planted, what do you expect it to do next? (GROW!) That’s right, we expect the seed to grow and ultimately we ...read more

Safe? Who Said Anything About Safe? Series

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Dec 24, 2012

Do you come regularly to church .... regularly once a year at Christmas? Perhaps you are more committed to God than you yourself think, and perhaps God has things in store for you that you don’t yet realise.

Before the mass begins, projected on the screen are the words: "Imagine God speaks to you tonight. What are you afraid he might ask you to do?" I refer to this question and leave it hanging as I welcome people ......... liturgy continues as normal for Midnight mass, until the ...read more

God Does Not Exist

Contributed by Dennis Casanova on Mar 18, 2004

There are many who foolishly believe that God does not Exist - Do you have an answer ready for them ?

There are those who argue that God does not exist - especially amongst those who have first hand witnessed some tragedy and feel that if He did exist He would not have allowed it. I truely hope that by now that is none of you, but I like this dialogue to help comment on the point. Barbershop ...read more

God Is Merciful Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

The Christian life is to be a life of mercy. We are to have compassion on people who are lost, and in mercy share the light that leads out of darkness into life. We are to have compassion concerning every human need.

In 1867 a bearded Norwegian named Lars Skrefsrud, and a Danish colleague found two and a half million people called the Santals living in a region north of Calcutta, India. He quickly learned their language and began to proclaim the Gospel. To his utter amazement the Santals were expecting just ...read more

His Eyes Are On Us!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Mar 30, 2020

I like the idea of a father who would allow his son to tackle something difficult on his own, but who at the same would make sure to be there if he were needed.

MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: 1 Peter 3:12; Psalm 139:1-14 ILL. A little boy living up north was looking forward eagerly to the birthday party of his friend who lived only ...read more

The Wrath Of God Series

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on May 24, 2006

We are embarrassed and uncomfortable about the concept of the "wrath of God." However, Revelation is good news for those victims who long for an end to evil’s reign and pray, "Come quickly, Lord."

I love this passage of Revelation -- I can’t read it without laughing outloud at one of the best memories of my ministry. Let us now hear the word of God from Revelation 16, beginning with verse 1. (Read Revelation 16:1-21) I suppose I should explain why I find this so uplifting. It all started ...read more

What Makes God Delightful?

Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Feb 20, 2014

Psalm 147:11,“The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love..”

What makes God delightful? Have you ever wondered what makes God delightful? One of the greatest privilege in Christian life and ministry is to Rejoice in the Lord always; The Bible repeatedly commands us to “rejoice in the Lord” (Phil 3:1; 4:4). The most important thing that any one ...read more

Who Do You Say You Are? Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Apr 30, 2012

The call upon the life of every believer is to live a life in the light God calls us to.

That little phrase ‘from darkness to light’ should be an accurate description of what has happened in the life of every Christian. 1 Peter 2:9 says, ‘But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the ...read more

Finding Gold In The Garbage Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 14, 2010

No one whose hope is in God will be put to shame. It is not the harsh realities that defeat us but our inability to see God¡¯s goodness and will in them. Trust the Sovereign God who is in control and still very much involved in your life.

[Main thoughts taken from Max Lucado’s book Just Like Jesus] Theme: A Hopeful Heart Hope is like gold in the garbage. - In the midst of all the trash you find something precious. - In the midst of the darkness you see a ray of light. Look at Jesus at the lowest point of His life - the night ...read more

Counsel from God’s word for those who are hurting

Precious counsel for those who are in one of life’s valleys Lamentations 3 Scripture reading: Psalm 38 Here in North America we are not used to public displays of sorrow and grief.

Superstititions

Contributed by Norm Beckett on May 29, 2002

God is a God who wants to protect and defend us from wrong and error. So the warning against superstition is for our benefit and protection.

SUPERSTITIONS “You must not boil a kid in its mother’s milk” (Exodus 23: 19). The people of God, the Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land. Just before they embarked upon the journey into that land, they were given specific commands - commands that would keep them focused and on ...read more

They Don't Know Who You Are!

Contributed by Russell M Rillie on Aug 2, 2009

Does anybody know who you REALLY are? Do you know who you REALLY are? We must all get to the point where we realize that we are not just ordinary people, but God’s chosen people.

They Don’t Know Who You Are! – By Minister Russell M. Rillie 1 Samuel 16:18-22; 17:55-58 Does anybody know who you REALLY are?

Who Are The All Souls & All Saints?

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024

All Saints and All Souls are the Church triumphant in Heaven in union with us, the church militant, on earth. There is a deep bond between the two communities, and we join them in Heaven to worship and praise God unceasingly when we come to worship God.

To my understanding, there are three Church festivals that we celebrate grandly, far from knowing what is being genuinely celebrated. They are Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. Out of these three festivals, the most misunderstood and distorted feast is Halloween. We are still fortunate that the ...read more

Same Faith - Different Perspective

At the start of the New Testament are the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each of the Gospel writers had the same faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. ...read more
