    "Peter, Feed My Sheep" (9 Of 21)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022
     | 1,880 views

    In a previous sermon, Peter spoke to us about "Our relationship to each other."

    He made it clear that these things in the remaining part of the chapter apply to "ALL". He admonished them in verse 8, to: (1) "All" be of one mind (2) "All" have compassion (3) "All" to love as brethren (4) "All" be tenderhearted and humble in ...read more

    Who's Controlling Your Narrative?

    Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Apr 19, 2023
     | 2,901 views

    There are only two narratives at play in the world, and we are living to one narrative or another When it comes to life, humanity and the world, there are only two narratives at play and being told, God’s narrative and the world’s narrative!

    WHO’S CONTROLLING YOUR NARRATIVE Controlling the narrative is the buzz phrase today. It is among the most prevalent phrases in society, business, politics, sports and life in general: "controlling the narrative." Controlling the narrative is, telling it your way, before someone else ...read more

     | 3,264 views

    This week we’ll look at a heart filled with purpose, a heart dedicated to God, His word, and His way. And in this study, we’ll not only be looking at the life of Daniel, but also at what Paul said to the Philippians about Jesus, and Jesus’s description of a disciple.

    John 9, the man who was born blind, are we as open to Jesus as he was or closed to Jesus?

    John 9:1-41 A man who is no longer blind. One of the sports that I participated in as a young bloke was caving, the Nelson region has some amazing caves, and I had a few adventures with the Nelson Caving Club. Plus, we would do a few caving trips just as a group of friends. One thing that I ...read more

    Plan For Peace

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,603 views

    Peace is not merely the absence of activity or hostility, nor is it just getting away from reality. Peace can be described as both the freedom from disturbance as well as an inward sense of well-being.

    In the world today people call for peace. They paint signs, write letters, drop bombs, and murder trouble makers, all in the name of peace. As I’m sure you all know the Bible tells us there will be no peace, and here are some stats to prove it. According to the Society of International Law in ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 2, 2022
     | 6,961 views

    In Part 1 we looked at the blind man from John 9 where Jesus said He was the Light of the World. Now we are going to consider practical verses dealing with walking in the light of God - our walk in light with Christ, our Light.

    I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD – LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS – JOHN 9 - PART 2 We have been working through the Series on THE “I AMs” of John’s Gospel, and last time we covered the first Part of “I am the Light of the World”.

    One Way Hate

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 26, 2017
     | 4,558 views

    The Bible tells us that the world will hate us because it hated Jesus first. What does that mean to us? Should we consider the world to be our enemies? How should we respond?

    Please open your Bibles to John 15:18-16:4 which we will read in a few minutes. In the Bible we often read of “the world”. The world consists of those who stand against Christ and His kingdom. In the time of Christ the world often referred to Jews who rejected the Jesus the Messiah. In a broader ...read more

    A Martyr For A Cause – Charlie Kirk Assassinated Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 807 views

    Tragically in September 2025 a young Christian leader was assassinated in the USA. This message looks into that and uses quotes from Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erica. It is so sick that certain elements of demonic belief are rejoicing that a Christian man was murdered. This world gets worse.

    A MARTYR FOR A CAUSE – CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATED I know much has been written about the tragic death of Charles Kirk and I do not want this to be a copycat message. Almost overwhelmingly, there have been expressions of grief and condolences but reprehensively, there have been those who delight in ...read more

    based on 28 ratings
     | 18,700 views

    As the light shines, the hostile opposition to it, & thus to Jesus the light bearer, grows. It was now dangerous for Jesus to appear at the Feast of Tabernacles. Despite the danger Jesus follows His appointed path but with wisdom.

    JOHN 7: 1-13 [The 5th Discourse] THE COURAGEOUS CHRIST [Leviticus 23: 33ff] John chapter 7 conveys the reactions of the world to the revelation of Jesus Christ. Again and again throughout this Gospel John has emphasized the difficulty and ...read more

     | 12,319 views

    Envy is destructive, & if it is unchecked, it becomes invasive & can even become a dominate emotion. Let's look at this powerful force, this hostile emotion, this destructive enemy through some selected verses in Proverbs

    PROVERBS 23: 17-18 ENVY [Genesis 37:1-11; 30:1- ] Envy is universal or possible in any person. Each of us has experienced the desire to have the achievements, excellences, or possessions of another person that we feel are missing in our life.

     | 7,649 views

    Church, in the final analysis, defines a people who are in the world but not of the world - ministering to the world.

    BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS. Ephesians 2:11-22. Church. A building or a people? Churches. Buildings constructed over supposed holy sites, in which various forms of worship take place. Some of these original citadels have disappeared, their walls removed to build alternative edifices. The problem ...read more

    We commemorate Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection annually and claim to personally experience the resurrection of Christ in our own lives. If however there is hostility toward the church and organized religion, something about the resurrection of Christ

    • I showed a comic slide to start, which asked the question, "Did anyone hear what the chairman of the board’s parting words were?" The point is how we can walk through an experience, meeting, etc., and totally miss what it was all about. The big question facing us this morning is that very ...read more
