     | 16,626 views

    The Temple of the LORD and the dynasty of David.

    HIS PLANS, NOT OUR PLANS. 2 Samuel 7:1-16. (The title of this Sermon is based upon Isaiah 55:8-9.) There are three main thrusts in our reading in 2 Samuel today: 1. There is a subtle difference between a good idea and God’s will (2 Samuel 7:1-4); 2. God’s presence cannot be contained in a ...read more

    Let's Quit With The Excuses, Shall We?

    Contributed by Warren Lamb on Aug 8, 2013
     | 4,845 views

    How is it that we, the Body of Christ, ignore fulfilling in the lives of those sitting in our pews His self-identified mission as described in Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:18-21?

    I’m tired...so very tired. Not tired of body, but tired in soul. There is something troubling my heart that I have to speak today, something I have to get out in front of those who call themselves “the Redeemed”. I will be brief, but I will be clear. The words of Isaiah 61:1-3 ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,592 views

    Prioritising commitments, bearing the Cross, and counting the cost of discipleship.

    PUTTING JESUS FIRST. Luke 14:25-33. I. Prioritising commitments. Jesus, it has to be admitted, is a great orator. Seeing the crowds following Him, He turned (Luke 14:25), and spoke words that were designed to shock, and even offend His hearers. In a masterstroke of hyperbole, He took their ...read more

    Washing The Feet Of The Disciples

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 7, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,597 views

    This world is not our home,. However, the Lord is not taking His disciples immediately out of this world. Instead, He equips us with a model of love and humility for our continuing sojourn here.

    WASHING THE DISCIPLES’ FEET. John 13:1-17. John concludes his account of Jesus’ public ministry with one last urgent appeal in which our Lord “cried out” (John 12:44) with a vehemence not unlike His cry at the tomb of Lazarus (John 11:43). Jesus does not cease to call the spiritually dead to new ...read more

    God put Jacob the supplanter in a position in which he had to lean upon a staff and not his schemes.

Jacob: The supplanter, he who will trip you up Point: The episode with his mother no doubt gave justification to this attitude to deceive Mention: Genesis 28:1-2 ...read more

    The disciples were confused by the somber assessment of the number of loaves in their hands; I encourage you today to look at His Hands rather than your own! Listen carefully to what I have to say today!

    Dalmanutha! Mark 8:10”And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.” Now watch, Jesus had already performed a breath-taking miracle where He multiplied 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes that fed an enormous crowd of more than five ...read more

    Even the devils believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and tremble.

    A LEGION CAST OUT. Mark 5:1-20. The account of the man with the Legion of devils is a dramatic demonstration of the kind of spiritual warfare which is going on for the bodies, minds, and souls of mankind. We notice, first of all, that it is Jesus who initiated this particular ...read more

    An encouragement to give Jesus due consideration, and an exhortation to avoid the temptation of drawing back.

    CONSIDERING JESUS AND NOT TURNING BACK. Hebrews 3:1-19. The writer to the Hebrews was at pains to ensure that the eyes of his readers remained focused on Jesus. For Hebrew Christians to go back to the law of Moses was not an option. Moses was faithful - but Jesus is counted worthy of more ...read more

    Motives: Sermon Of The Mount Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 30, 2022
     | 1,928 views

    There is a difference between real prayer and just words. The improper way is to stand on the street corner to be seen by men. This is the way of the hypocrites, the play actors.

    There was something taught in one of my business classes at Indiana University that has stuck with me. It is the concept of enlightened self-interest. This is a philosophy in business ethics which states that companies who act to further the interests of others, ultimately serve their own ...read more

    Walking In The Fog

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 17, 2021
     | 3,077 views

    Some of us feel ‘tranquility’ is the sign of God’s stamp on a particular project or work, but I have found out that when you enter into the will of God great opposition, obstacles and demons come against you, that is a clear indication that you are in the center of God’s will.

    FOG Isaiah 43:2”When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” SO you're waiting for the heat, anxiety, angst and chaos to ...read more
