    The Aim Of Our Charge Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 16, 2013
     | 4,692 views

    The teaching of godly elders is contrasted with that of false teachers.

    “The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.” [1] Paul charged Timothy to remain in Ephesus, indicating that the young man was considering moving from that location. Specifically, the young preacher was charged to remain in ...read more

    Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 23, 2013
     | 12,110 views

    When Christ calls us to be with Him, He honours us. He does not treat us as we deserve should we fail Him, but He is glorified in raising us up and employing us to His glory.

    “Jesus went with [his disciples] to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to [them], ‘Sit here, while I go over there and pray.’ And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, ‘My soul is very sorrowful, ...read more

    Where Are You? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,862 views

    God calls us. Jesus has taught us, "Many are called, but few are chosen." However, the first time man was called by God, what was the purpose of His calling? The message explores that call and refocuses the divine call to our generation.

    The LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” [1] G reat questions are not meant to reveal information to the interlocutor; great questions are meant to compel the one questioned to discover what should have been obvious. All of us have a tendency to wear masks. In fact, the ...read more

    Do Two Walk Together Unless They Have Agreed To Meet? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 28, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,998 views

    Fellowship is dependent upon doctrinal fidelity. Whether co-operation in evangelism, in missionary advance or in worship, all fellowship depends upon doctrinal fidelity.

    “Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?” [1] God had blessed His ancient people. However, despite His rich blessings, they chose to rebel. God makes it clear that He is left with no option except judgement. The question selected as the text for the message today, is ...read more

    What Shall I Do With Jesus? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 3, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 23,378 views

    The preacher, the Christian and the outsider all must answer the same question--What Shall I Do With Jesus? Each of us must answer; we cannot evade. For salvation and for service, our answer reveals who we are.

    “What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ” [1] Almost every message I have heard from this text was directed to lost people. That is certainly appropriate. However, in our study today, I want to consider how this question applies not only to the lost, but also to each of us who bear the ...read more

    How Can I Ever Serve Christ Again? I Have Denied My Faith!

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 29, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,520 views

    When we sin, is our service to Christ finished? He is not only able to restore broken saints, but to use them mightily in His service.

    “When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ He said to him a second time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, ...read more

     | 56,327 views

    In all of history past, and all of time to come there is one person who stands alone, he is above all others, and there is salvation in no other name (this person is Jesus)!

    “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 “My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ...read more

    Act Like Men

     | 11,902 views

    The people of God are engaged in a great battle. If we will engage the enemy and advance the cause of Christ, we need to heed the commands issued in this text.

    “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” The Christian Faith is a woman’s religion; and I’m glad this is so! Historically, women were excluded from religion. In the pagan religions extant at the time the Master presented Himself as a ...read more

    What Is Truth? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 18, 2012
     | 8,376 views

    We may either adopt the cynicism of this dying world, dismissing truth when it stands before us, or we may embrace the Son of God who is truth.

    “Pilate said to Jesus, ‘What is truth?’” [1] Cynicism best describes the governor’s demeanor when the True Light stood before him. Arraigned before Pilate’s judgement seat was Jesus of Nazareth who testified of Himself, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” [JOHN 14:6]. Someone has ...read more

     | 6,196 views

    Who should be baptised? Why should one be baptised? These are questions that must be answered by each one calling himself or herself after the Name of the Son of God.

    “As they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, ‘Look, there is water! What is to stop me from being baptized?’” [1], [2] Baptism is truly the water that divides. It is an unfortunate fact of ecclesiastical history that the rite has ...read more
