The Reality Of The Virgin Birth Series

Contributed by John Hamby on Nov 3, 2010

The virgin birth is not just an option to be considered indeed what we need to understand is that the Virgin Birth rests on the “great divide” that separates those who believe the Bible is God’s Word, and those who don’t.

An Overwhelming Minority. Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

Daniel chose to put all his weight on the side of loyalty to God, and that is why he is a classic example of an overwhelming minority.

Larry Love, an associate of Billy Graham, saw an unusual and striking piece of advertising in a London railway station. It pictured a copy of a very exclusive and expensive magazine. Beneath the picture were the words, "Read by an overwhelming minority." It is a catchy and clever idea ...read more

The Ultimate Scapegoat

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

What was the Scapegoat, and can it's function somehow be applied to Jesus? Christ made a one-time sacrifice and atonement to cover all sins. There is no more need for a scapegoat, as the Lamb of God became the final sin offering.

I want to begin our sermon this morning by asking if you’ve ever before heard the word “scapegoat.” This term was coined by William Tyndale, the first great English Bible translator, who I will discuss a little further later on in our message. After Tyndale, the word came to be used for a person, ...read more

The Feast Of Firstfruits

Contributed by Bramwell Hayes on Oct 7, 2006

The first harvest festival of the Jewish year teaches us that God will give good things to us because of his nature, not because he has been manipulated, that he has first claim on everything and the resurrection of Christ is a promise that we too will be

Harvest is one of my most favourite Sundays in the year. The special songs, the display, the food donated to be used as food parcels for people in need of food through the year.

Decoding The Da Vinci Code: Listen To Your Mother! Series

Contributed by Joey Nelson on May 15, 2006
