    Art Thou A Master Of Israel, And Knowest Not These Things? Series

    Contributed by David Moore on Nov 20, 2008
     | 5,524 views

    This sermon looks at Nicodemus’ ignorance as a religious leader as a springboard for teaching the necessity of the new birth.

    Introduction: One of my favourite stories is of a new pastor was asked to teach a boys class in the absence of their regular Sunday School teacher. He decided at the outset to see what the boys knew and so he asked little Johnny during Bible class who broke down the walls of Jericho. Little Johnny ...read more

    When we allow a lost and dying world to see Jesus in us, it goes to the glory and praise of God.

    Introduction We come to our third and final message in this series today. If you remember the first two messages Paul is praying for the entire church family at Philippi.

    Badges Of Honor

    based on 37 ratings
     | 6,712 views

    This message deals with one of the consequences of following Jesus: Suffering!

    I’m encouraged today by the fact that 12 of our Brethren were not side-tracked by the Success Syndrome. To the Apostles of the First Church of Jerusalem, SUCCESS WAS SUFFERING SERVICE. Which leads me to conclude that the Success of a Person or Church is not determined by Praise but by Pain; not by ...read more

    Injustice Rendered Series

     | 4,736 views

    Injustice was rendered at Jesus’ trial, but true justice will be rendered when he returns in power as Judge.

    Introduction As much as we may uphold the judicial system, all of us have felt at times that injustice, rather than justice, was rendered in a courtroom. Perhaps it was due to incompetence by the defense or prosecution or even the judge. Perhaps the jury was deficient. Perhaps there was bribery ...read more

    We Must Obey God Rather Than Men

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on May 16, 2022
     | 2,503 views

    Where does obedience to the command of men stop and obedience to God begin?

    We must obey God rather than Men Acts 5:26-33 Sometimes, the Scripture seems to put us in quite a dilemma. Peter’s response in the passage we just read shows that Peter’s response to the High Priest’s charge that the Apostles had disobeyed the strict prohibition of the Sanhedrin that they should ...read more

    A sermon "performed" as a monologue from the first person perspective (Joseph of Arimathea) about Jesus’ claim to be the Messiah in John 5.

    [Come in, fully dressed in Jewish costume] Shalom! Good morning, My name is Joseph, (but according to your culture, you can call me Joe). I am from Arimathea, a region in the Northwest of Jerusalem [1]. I am a nobleman among the seventy members of the Sanhedrin of Jerusalem, (or Ruling Council in ...read more

    This is the second in a series on the Philippian church. The experience of Paul and Silas in Philippi shows us key principles of salvation and joy.

    The Not So Great Escape Curt Deming Melbourne Community Church I love prison escape movies. It seems that no matter how badly they behaved to get themselves into prison, once they start trying to get out, I’m rooting for them to make it. It’s even easier to sympathize with the escaping prisoner ...read more

    How did the message of the Apostles differ from the message of the religions competing with the Christian Faith?

    “When [the Sanhedrin] had brought [all the Apostles], they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, ‘We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.’ But ...read more

    Only because Jesus is both God and man can he act as our substitute and our mediator.

    Our topic this morning is The Incarnation, the event in which the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity, took on humanity and became a man. This is what we celebrate at Christmas, the infant Jesus born to Mary, a baby who is not only a normal human child but who is also the God of the ...read more

    Jesus calls us to lower the nets for a catch, even though it means persecution and rejection. We must learn the four steps of evangelization of our surroundings, friends and coworkers.

    Third Sunday of Easter 2013 Vatican II About forty years ago, acting on the directions of the Fathers of the Council, a team of expert Scripture scholars and liturgists gave the Church what is called the “expanded Lectionary” for Mass.

    Heritage Series

    Do we know enough of our own history that we could, like Stephen, stand before a trial and explain why we believe in Jesus as our Saviour and how America is better because of the work of God?

    “Heritage” Acts 7:1-54 How important is our heritage? Webster’s 1828 = Heritage, 1.

    Every single one of these men - Judas, Peter, The Sanhedrin, believe that they are faithful, and they appear faithful to those around them. But appearing to be spiritual, appearing to be faithful is neither spiritual nor faithful, it only appears to be.

    Jesus, an innocent man, is arrested in an olive grove and now stands ready to be condemned to death – there is no doubt about the outcome. How did it all come to this? How did it come to this, that the most theologically adept men of the day sat ready to condemn an innocent man, they sat ready to ...read more
