Sermons on Honouring Parents:

Family Services For God

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 11, 2024

Joshua said, “But for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15 NLT) I want to use this opportunity to inspire parents to view God's service as a shared family endeavor.

Matthew 13:24-30 - Smoking Weed - Part 10 Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 18, 2011

Why doesn't God force everyone to believe and to honour one another and Him? Way back in the Garden of Eden why didn't God snuff out Adam and Eve the moment they sinned and start again? Why doesn't He pull out the weeds and burn them?

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 23, 2021

Have a song of praise on your lips for Jesus. Be ready to go out of your way to honour him. In your life, find the equivalent of coats that you can humbly lay on the road before him. In your life, find the equivalent of branches that you can wave in the air to praise him!

Mothers Day - Motherhood And Mary

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 4, 2020

Even the best mothers are concerned with the conflicting currents flowing through them. I am sure that mothers contend with more of a degree of tension when it comes to being a parent, a mother. Then the Lord brought to mind, Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. This is your special day.
