    A Hard Calling

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 12, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,720 views

    It is hard preaching to hard heads and hard hearts.

    A HARD CALLING. Ezekiel 2:1-5. In times gone by, and in certain places and professions still, it was taken for granted that children would follow in the trade of their fathers. James and John, the sons of Zebedee, would have known from an early age that they were going to be fishermen. ...read more

    Judgement From The Rude Throne

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 16, 2022
     | 673 views

    His first words from the cross was the judgement of the people who had unjustly put Him on that rude throne: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

    Christ the King 2022 Those of you who are very familiar with the psalm we just sang, Psalm 122, may realize that the Church omits the last few verses of the prayer today. The last part of the psalm takes time to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. That makes a great deal of sense in the context of ...read more

    David Lets His Guard Down.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 23, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 660 views

    A downward spiral with inevitable consequences.

    DAVID LETS HIS GUARD DOWN. 2 Samuel 11:1-15. “At the time when kings go forth” (to battle), “David tarried still at Jerusalem.” (2 SAMUEL 11:1). Sending his nephew Joab may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but this constituted a dereliction of duty which put David in the wrong place at ...read more

    Paul encourages us to restrain from being ignorant of God's plan for our lives.

    Mercy For All Romans 11: 25 – 32 Intro: I do not claim to be intellectually superior to anyone. However, I will say there may be some things you may not know which my mother taught me which gave served me well. Here are just a few bits of this wonderful knowledge my mother taught me beginning ...read more

    An Outline Of Acts 4:1-22

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 4, 2021
     | 2,884 views

    Peter and John were arrested after they healed a man born lame, as recorded in Acts 3. Now they're on trial, the next day, before a group of Israel's leaders. What happened next? (This is another outline from a miniseries on Acts I preached several years ago.)

    Introduction: In Acts 3, Luke records how Peter and John were on their way to the Temple to observe and take part in the afternoon time of prayer. While on the way there, they saw and then healed a man who had been lame from his birth. Peter preached another message to the crowd who had gathered in ...read more

    Messiah Revealed

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,930 views

    Two blind men with faith, a dumb man with a devil, a crowd that marvelled, and Pharisees who wanted people to believe anything but good of Jesus.

    MESSIAH REVEALED. Matthew 9:27-34. Earlier in this chapter we saw how Jesus demonstrated His power to forgive sins by healing a paralysed man who had been brought to His home in Capernaum by faithful friends (cf. Matthew 9:5-7). Then we saw Jesus sitting in Matthew’s house eating with tax ...read more

     | 1,673 views

    A defiant celebration of God's sovereign power.

    WHEN ISRAEL WENT OUT OF EGYPT. Psalm 114:1-8. The exuberance of this Psalm is immediately evident. It is a recollection of Israel’s redemption story, beginning from when the descendants of Jacob made their exodus from Egypt. It is the prelude to the founding of what Stephen, the first Christian ...read more

    A time to stand still, and a time to move forward.

    FROM THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT TO THE MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS. Matthew 2:13-18. MATTHEW 2:13. Joseph was called into exile. It is important that we do not linger in the place where we have been, but continue to follow the leading of God in our spiritual walk. After all, wherever God places us we ...read more

    Last Hours Of Jesus' Life - Free From Passivity

    Contributed by Joanne Chan on May 18, 2018
     | 5,214 views

    In this sermon, we look at how the people mocked Jesus as he walked toward the hill of Golgotha, and contrast that with his encounter with Simon from Cyrene to see what it really means to carry the cross for Jesus.

    Central theme: Jesus denied himself and took the punishment for us with total dedication. We should take up the cross and follow Jesus, which means denying our old self (our comfort, your desires) and live for God because God is leading us to an even better place. Opening: Think of a place ...read more

    Immanuel: He Drives Away Our Fears

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 3, 2010
     | 3,726 views

    Advent 1987: Ahaz let fear drive him to sacrifice the best that he had and to mire down in "what if". God through Isaiah offered the ultimate sign of hope, His own presence, who drives away our fears.

    The birth of a child has many layers of meaning. When a baby is born into a family, there can be all kinds of different feelings, all sorts of different meanings. For one family, this is indeed a blessed event, filled with joy, running over with excitement, the fulfillment of hopes and dreams and ...read more

    Seeing the Christ in our midst...

    I can remember being young and watching the play Peter Pan. In that play there is a scene in which Tinker Bell, who becomes jealous of Wendy, agrees to betray Peter Pan by identifying the location of his hiding place to Captain Hook. Captain Hook then sends a bomb to Peter Pan which is disguised ...read more

    Our King Jesus Proves He Is Alive Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 25, 2018
     | 6,890 views

    In the days following his resurrection Jesus keeps appearing, eventually over 500 people are witnesses that he is alive. However the most important witness to the resurrection is that all Scripture points to the suffering, but risen, Saviour.

    Message Luke 24:36-49 Our King Jesus Proves He Is Alive When it comes to the importance of the resurrection Paul pulls no punches 14 If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. … 17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. ...read more

    Man Has Twisted, Contorted, Inverted, And Opposed All God’s Creation – Part 1 – Genesis Chapter 1 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 27, 2023
     | 989 views

    Every aspect of God’s perfect creation in Genesis 1 has been inverted by man to make monstrosities out of what God created and said, “It is good.” Satan is the one who will destroy and mangle all for evil. We look at these items Satan has mangled, twisted and inverted.

    MAN HAS TWISTED, CONTORTED, INVERTED, AND OPPOSED ALL GOD’S CREATION – PART 1 – GENESIS CHAPTER 1 We are now living in a twisted, contorted and inverted world. In fact the change has not been a slow creeping of the years, but a very rapid convolution that has ascended from the pit and into the ...read more

    Control Freak

    Have you ever known a controlling type person? What's at the heart of being a control freak? You may be thinking of someone who needs to hear this sermon but just because we may not be a 'control freak' that doesn't mean we don't have any control issues.

    CONTROL FREAK Have you ever known someone who could have this label attached to them? People who feel they have to control you, the situation; everything? There are people who like to micromanage things. There are people who get very upset if you don't take their advice. People who have a ...read more
