    In this sermon we notice a restatement of our freedom in Christ. Then, we shall notice some limitations on our freedom. Finally, we shall observe some guidelines for our balance.

    Scripture The pastor had heard the story so many times that listening to it again evoked a strange mixture of anger and despair. Although the names, dates, and places had changed, the story’s theme remained the same: one of his parishioners, Phil, had caused another Christian to stumble. This ...read more

    First Person presentation of Joshua describing his relationship with Moses. This was a powerful message that spoke of the lessons Joshua may have learned from his father figure - Moses.

    (I entered stage left, dressed as Joshua, the son of Nun, and carrying a Ram’s horn – or Shofar. There are several websites that will allow you to hear the sound of the Shofar, but I found that I was able to make a reasonable sound from the horn with very little effort. I used the musical ...read more

    That first day of Jesus’ last week was a day of mixed emotions. There were cheers and jeers and tears. We won’t understand what happened unless we see all three.

    God ought to have preeminence in my life. And I can check to see if that is the case by what I talk about with others.

    INTRODUCTION We only have one life to live, and we can either waste it or we can invest it. You cannot do both; you are either going to waste your life or invest your life, but you cannot do a little of each. Jesus tells us that in His Sermon on the Mount. He says: you cannot serve two masters. So, ...read more

    A Fresh Encounter With God

     | 2,096 views

    God’s desire is that we experience a fresh encounter with Him. But what does a fresh encounter look like? To answer this question let’s see what a fresh encounter with God looks like through Jesus’s letter to the Ephesian church and in the life of the prophet Isaiah.

    The First Hinderances For Spiritual Growth: Having Not Been Born Again (1) Series

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 17, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,059 views

    I defined spiritual growth in terms of "being conformed to the image of His Son" Christian activities or ministries wouldn't guarantee spiritual growth, unless one has the spiritual life, to begin with. One has to be born again to start and grow in spiritual life.

    The four most common hindrances for Spiritual Growth. 1. Having not been born again by Barnabas Park Romans 8:29: For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren; Beginning today, I would like to share ...read more

    "Christ" was not Jesus' last name. It was a description of WHO He was. So what does it mean that Jesus is the Christ, and what difference can that make in our lives?

    OPEN: St. John’s University is a private religious college in the state of New York, and sometime back someone apparently wrote some graffiti on one of the walls which said this: “Jesus said unto them: ‘Who do you say that I am?’ And they replied: ‘You are the eschatological manifestation of the ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025
     | 284 views

    Parts 5 and 6 go together but had to be split. Here we look at the results of harvest 100-60-30, contention in churches, and gospel preaching. The parable of the sower is a remarkable one and we are seeing this as we go. We look at how the parable of the talents are related.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 6 of 7 This next message continues from the previous one. We begin by looking at why some seed produced 100, some 60, some 30. [[EXAMINING THE HARVEST RATES FROM THE SOWING]] One very primary application of this parable ...read more

    James is encouraging his readers to pray. In fact, James’ concluding remarks consistently take the reader back to the need to pray. The first thing we should do is frequently the last thing done.

    JAMES 5:13, 14 LIFE HAPPENS “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” James is drawing his brief, ...read more

    A very easy-to-understand teaching on Revelation 2.

    In my very first position as a Senior Pastor, I quickly became aware of the major problem found in churches today. About three months into the job, I preached about the Rapture. I made sure it was not the old "hellfire & brimstone" type of message, and I even added some levity to a few parts, but ...read more

    I Thirst

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 17, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,068 views

    Water is a thematic element in the Gospel of John. Jesus baptised in it, turned it to wine, used it as a metaphor of life, used it to heal, walked on it, and washed His disciples feet with water. Yet on the cross He needed water, and He got none.

    I Thirst In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. The first order of creation, even before God proclaimed, “let there be light”, there ...read more
