Choosing Pleasure Over Pain Series

Contributed by Jason Jones on Jun 26, 2012

Study of Hebrews 11:24-26 where Moses leaves an example and truth for us as we press on in a culture that disdains “the reproach of” anything. The truth is that the path to joy is littered with sacrifice. We can embrace this pain and suffering injustice b

Jesus Our High Priest

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 28, 2018

Jesus is our great high priest. In him we have a permanent salvation, which gives us eternal security. We also have a perfect sacrifice, complete with nothing needed for our salvation.

Jesus our High Priest Hebrews 7:23-28 At the VA hospital where I work during the week, we always have a chaplain on call, ready to respond in case of emergency.

What Jesus Really Means

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 15, 2024

Jesus made strong statements about His "body and blood" that could be misinterpreted as "cannibalism." However, Jesus meant something so much deeper as the Atoning sacrifice for sin.

JESUS IS CAUSING QUITE A STIR AMONGST THE PEOPLE. THERE IS A RISING DISPUTE AMONGST THE JEWISH LEADERS INSINUATING A POSSIBILITY OF CANNIBALISM. MANY FOLLOWERS ARE TAKING THE WORDS OF JESUS LITERALLY THAT HE IS SPEAKING OF EATING REAL HUMAN FLESH AND BLOOD. IS THIS FOR REAL? JESUS DOESN’T SEEM TO ...read more

Genesis 4 - Part 1 - How Can I Know That I Am Accepted? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 14, 2011

A woman I visited yesterday in hospital asked me "How do I know that I am ACCEPTED BY GOD?" In the OT Abel's offering was ACCEPTED and Cain's offering was not. Why?

Genesis 4 - "HOW CAN I KNOW THAT I AM ACCEPTED?" They had behaved badly in class but they were equally disruptive in the detention room, swearing, acting tough and defying anything I said with a smart comment. Unacceptable behaviour. I have never really had a problem with anger, but the closest I ...read more

We Have A Scapegoat

Contributed by David Mcnally on Feb 8, 2014

In the OT the blood of sacrificed animals was shed to take away the sins of the people and this had to be done annually, but when Jesus went to the cross on our behalf in obedience to the Father's will, our sins were taken away once and for all.

Leviticus 16:1-22 Our Scapegoat Do you remember, when David Cameron, Nick Clegg and the Coalition took over from Gordon Brown and Ed Balls after the last election, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer found a note from the outgoing one saying 'There is no money, it has all gone!'

For The Sake Of The Call

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 23, 2023

Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more
