Apostolic Authority

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Nov 29, 2001

This message will be unpopular because it challenges the foundation of those claiming to have this authority.

Apostolic Authority I realize this is not a popular message, but I also believe it is necessary and relevant to a biblically sound church. This is a follow up to the message, ‘Is Speaking in Tongues Essential?’ In this message, we looked at scripture that testified that not all Christians under ...read more

Promises Of Hope

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 3, 2001

Because here we see the supernatural in far more startling form than anything you’ll ever read in Harry Potter - and this is history! Here we have an angel ...read more

We Were The Reason Text: Romans 4:25–5:2 When I think on this particular season of Easter, I cannot help but be amazed at the depth of God’s love for us–for all people.

Surely, Not I!

Contributed by Wann Fanwar on Sep 21, 2003

This sermon examines the betrayal of Jesus in Matthew 26 and proposes that there are different ways to betray Jesus. Perhaps the more incipient danger is the indifference of the eleven. The sermon also portrays the manner in which God handles human failur

SURELY, NOT I! Matthew 26:20-50 I was marooned in a seemingly forsaken place, or so it felt. I did not know anyone. The place was isolated from life. The nearest village was miles away and I had to walk several kilometres to the nearest bus pickup point. There was no running water or electricity. ...read more

The Lesson Of The Wine

Contributed by Christopher Roberts on Oct 29, 2003

The little things in the Bible are easy to overlook, yet it all has meaning. In the miracles at the wedding in Cana, the 240,000 servings of wine can teach us about the difference between the Law and the Spirit, God’s Grace and God’s character.

I love weddings. I have only had the occasion to perform two weddings and those were both great and special occasions for me. I had so much fun. And weddings are supposed to be fun. I think we should take a lesson from 1st century Judaism on how to party. The usual festivities consisted of a ...read more

You Are Special

Contributed by Ray Munro-Crump on Jul 13, 2003

Because God loved you first, You are special

I am quite intrigued as to why, when Jesus spoke in parables so everyone could understand them, he then felt the need to explain them to his disciples later. I wonder if it was to give his disciples a chance to challenge and question what he had said earlier. A chance to see the reasoning and the ...read more
