The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 5:12-15 - Message 19 – Freedom Brings Extra Responsibility – How To Love One Another, And Christian Cannibalism Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 21, 2024

Salvation brings freedom, but is that freedom a licence to sin? Paul uses strong language against the false teachers. We look at serving one another in love and what that means, and finish with considering “Christian cannibalism”.

Perhaps in this letter Paul’s emotions and spirit are turned over more than in any other letter as he combats the false ...read more

Kingdom Greatness

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 18, 2024

“Whoever humbles themselves like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. It is giving up claims to power and status and knowing one’s total dependence on God that counts as greatness in the kingdom of heaven.

Sermon: The Path to Kingdom Greatness Scripture: Matthew 18:1-11 “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them.

Cain And Abel Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 7, 2024

Even though Abel’s life was short, his faith still speaks. Abel’s blood calls out for justice from God. Our own sin demands justice from God, and it was our sin that put Jesus on the cross. Yet the blood of Jesus speaks a better message. A message of mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation and salvation.

As we continue in our Dust to Life series, we will be looking at Genesis chapter 4 today, the account of the first two brothers in human history: Cain and Abel. Genesis 4:1-16 1 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have obtained a ...read more

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 7, 2023

It isn’t Jesus’ job to calm our storms, but to calm our hearts so that we can face the storms with confidence and courage.
