    God, for His part, cares for the whole of His creation.

    THE PETULANCE OF JONAH. Jonah 3:10, Jonah 4:1-11. The LORD is merciful to those who repent (JONAH 3:10; cf. Psalm 130:3-4).

    THE COMPASSION OF JESUS. Matthew 9:27-38. MATTHEW 9:27. As Jesus left the ruler’s house, two blind men followed Him. We are not told that they were bidden, like Matthew (cf. Matthew 9:9). But they were relentless, like the men who had carried the paralysed man into Jesus’ presence earlier (cf. ...read more

     | 1,394 views

    But we cannot fulfill our baptismal commitment until we “go and proclaim.”

    Monday of 3rd Week in Course Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul Today’s Gospel really takes us to the core teaching that we sum up in the word “Gospel,” which means “Good News.” That core teaching is that we are not to just come to Jesus, not just listen to Him and be forgiven, healed, baptized ...read more

     | 2,699 views

    If you could not be paid to preach would you pay to preach?

Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. From ...read more

  • The Love Of God's Call Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on May 7, 2019
     | 4,634 views

    Many remember Jonah as a book about Jonah and the big fish. This book is really about the relentless love and pursuit of God.

    Intro: What do most people remember about Jonah if you have ever heard the story in VBS or Sunday School? You probably remember that it is a whale of a tale. There would be lots of talk about Jonah and his disobedience and reluctance to go where God tells him to go. The problem with remembering ...read more

    If the Son shall make us free, we shall be free indeed.

    III. CALLED TO FREEDOM. A. SET FREE - TO SERVE GOD! Exodus 10:24-26. It is somewhat ironic that Pharaoh would eventually release the children of Israel from bondage in Egypt that they might go and “serve the LORD” (Exodus 10:24). Pharaoh was not willing for them to take their flocks with them, ...read more

  • The Judgmental "Thou Shalt Not Judge” Diversion

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 28, 2017
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,671 views

    Jesus said to “Judge with righteous judgment” (John 7:24). The Bible clearly gives every Born-Again Christian the authority and right to humbly discern and make the distinction between truth and error, right and wrong, good and evil.

    In the pluralistic culture we currently live in the greatest 'sin' is intolerance and self-contradictory moral relativism runs rampant as judgments are suspended so that each person can define what is morally right or wrong for them. The Bible verse most often taken out of context to condemn those ...read more

  • Mission To Galilee.

    Jesus goes walkabout into Galilee, seeking and saving that which was lost.

    MISSION TO GALILEE. John 1:43-51. 1. PHILIP The first chapter of John’s Gospel, having opened with a declaration of Jesus as God (John 1:1), closes with Jesus seeming to make an ordinary human decision: to go ‘walkabout’ into Galilee (John 1:43) - perhaps to visit the home of His new disciples ...read more

  • The Greatest Gift Of All

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Dec 14, 2017
     | 5,983 views

    Christmas is a time of sharing presents and each other's company, a time when rifts between family members should be healed. During the WW1 on Christmas Eve the British and Germans stopped killing each other as Christ's message of PEACE prevailed.

    THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL. JOHN 1:1-18. The 1914 secret truce between the German and British soldiers has been told many times but it’s certainly worth repeating. In many ways it is surely the miracle of Christmas and its meaning was made manifest in the action of the soldiers who brought to light ...read more

  • An Open Letter

    No longer a slave.

    AN OPEN LETTER. PHILEMON 1:1-21. Onesimus was a slave who had escaped from his Christian master, Philemon. Yet in a beautiful irony, having not ‘made it’ alone in the big city, he found himself at last brought under the direct personal influence of “Paul the prisoner” (Philemon 1:1). Many a ...read more

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Mar 2, 2020
     | 3,356 views

    A generic sermon about death that can be adapted to funerals.

    I normally try to weave the Bible and the stories of the deceased into a eulogy. • God’s words of instruction to us • God’s Standards borne out in Jesus (John 14.6) • God’s Commands “What would I want to say to an audience who was looking at the reality of death?” Hebrews 9:27-28 27 And just as ...read more

  • Survival Of The Fittest Or Triumph Of The Meek? Series

    Contributed by Soon Hock Lim on Mar 16, 2001
    based on 40 ratings
     | 3,470 views

    Just how realistic is the way of Jesus, the way of the Beatitudes, and the Sermon on the Mount? Just how true is Jesus’ statement, “Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth”? (Mt 5:5.)

    SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST OR TRIUMPH OF THE MEEK? On Friday nights while all of us should be at our Cell Groups, ntv7 is showing the 2nd series of Survivor—this time at the Australian Outback. While I don’t want you to cut short your CG meeting to head home to catch the programme—still, I think ...read more
