The Lost Sheep

Contributed by Joanna Beveridge on Nov 22, 2006

When Jesus compares us to sheep, it may not be flattering, but it is apt.

Sheep don’t have a very good image, do they? If I asked what your favourite animal was, I doubt very much that any of you would say “sheep”. Our view of sheep is somewhat negative. We don’t say positive things like “Oh, he’s as strong as a sheep” or “She’s as wise as a sheep”. How about “as ...read more

Trading Places

Contributed by Paul Hammons on Mar 8, 2007

The Doctrine Of Annihilation

Contributed by Ron Callen on Mar 9, 2007

In the Old Testament, God instructed His people to completely destroy their enemies. But now we are living in the day of grace. In the sermon today we will see that Jesus came not to destroy men’s lives but to save them.

THE DOCTRINE OF ANNIHILATION Love is a great motivator of people. It is also what motivates so much of what God does for us. John 3:16 clearly tells us and teaches us For God so loved the world… Why did He give His only begotten Son? Because He so loved. But there are other things that ...read more

Breathing New Life Into The Church

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Mar 19, 2007

There are churches (and individual Christians) who look at the trouble and hardships their dealing with and feel that God has forsaken them. They feel like their spiritual life is being sapped right out of them, and are on the brink of giving up.
