The Spirit Is Coming! Series

Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Feb 17, 2019

Joel promises restoration through his Son and the sending of his Spirit. God promises to renew people who repent and turn to him.

For all the talk about forging our own brave, new world, the evidence seems to the contrary. People are despondent and the world seems a mess. Every day the ideological battles play out in the public square are they are prising apart public opinion and fragmenting society. Climate change—gender ...read more

Scripture And Truth

Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Sep 2, 2019

A talk intended to increase confidence in Scripture, regarding it as a source of truth and considering its historical features.

There’s a saying that goes like this, “A Bible in the hand is worth two in the bookcase”. C.H. Spurgeon wrote: "I would recommend you either believe God up to the hilt, or else not to believe at all. Believe this book of God, every letter of it, or else reject it. There is no logical standing ...read more

Seriously, Someone Rising From The Dead?

Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Apr 22, 2019

An Easter Sunday talk which touches on the evidence for the resurrection before explaining its significance.

Seriously, someone rising from the dead? I was doing some research recently on the longest anyone has ever been dead before being brought back to life.

What Is Wisdom? Series

Contributed by Maurice Armstrong on Aug 19, 2023

"Wisdom usually comes with age, but age often shows up--alone."

"go And Sin No More" Series

Contributed by Maurice Armstrong on Feb 27, 2025

Is it possible to "Go and sin no more"? His example is that we "Follow In His Steps: Who did no sin...."

“Go and Sin No More” What did Jesus mean when He said, “Go and sin no more”? (John 5:14, 8:11). I'm persuaded, “He said what He meant, and He meant exactly what He said.” However, many would have us believe that this is not possible; but why would Jesus give instructions to do something they ...read more

Contributed by Maurice Armstrong on Mar 7, 2025

God is not a man; He cannot lie, therefore, whenever he speaks, obedience is the only expected response.

For centuries, the “Church” has taught “Repentance” as the focus of the Christian experience. Daily confession of all sins.
