    The First Taste Of Glory.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,079 views

    Transfiguration: the power of the glory to come.

    THE FIRST TASTE OF THE GLORY. Mark 9:1-13. Jesus spoke of a time when He, ‘the Son of man’ would appear ‘in the glory of His Father with all the holy angels” (Mark 8:38). Then He made the surprising announcement, “That there be some that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they ...read more

    A New Covenant

    No longer is God's law written upon tables of stone, but upon human hearts.

    A NEW COVENANT. Jeremiah 31:31-34. 1. “Behold the Days are Coming” This is a recurring motif in Jeremiah. There is a certainty about it, because it is a declaration of the LORD. It occurs in Jeremiah 23:5 - ‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘That I will raise to David a Branch ...read more

    We judge sin from our own sinful presuppositions

    We will be looking at two pieces of scriptures. They come from the gospel of John in the 3rd and 4th chapters and tell the story of two individuals from the different sides of the economic and cultural divide. Often these stories are preached separately but when compared and contrasted they ...read more

    The Communion Cup

    A short reflection on the significance of the Cup.

    THE COMMUNION CUP. Matthew 26:27-28. Each of the four cups of the Passover meal was associated with a line of Exodus 6:6-7. The third cup is linked to the words “I will redeem you.” Jesus took this cup, and invested it with new meaning. Instead of the blood of the original Passover lamb, it ...read more

    Awake Thou Sleeper

    The tension between light and darkness resolved as we shake off our drowsiness!

    AWAKE THOU SLEEPER! Ephesians 5:8-14. A. Paul contrasts what believers once were (darkness) with what we now are (light in the Lord) (Ephesians 5:8). i) We are to walk IN the light (1 John 1:7), for the ‘fruit of the Spirit’ (Galatians 5:22-23) IS the fruit of light (cf. Ephesians 5:9); ii) ...read more

    #6 Palm Sunday Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Mar 29, 2021
     | 2,713 views

    The process of recognizing where we are on the road and why we are cheering is exactly what lent has been all about - recognizing Jesus willingness to enter into our pain is a reason to celebrate as well as mourn. We celebrate because of His willingness and mourn because of inability to not sin.

    “Lent is one of the oldest observations on the Christian calendar. Like all Christian holy days and holidays, it has changed over the years, but its purpose has always been the same: self-examination and penitence, demonstrated by self-denial, in preparation for Easter. Early church father ...read more

    Sacrificial Giving

    Jesus doesn't say that the poor widow gave more than anyone else. Rather, he says that she gave “more than all.” But why did Jesus say that she gave more than all? I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    INTRODUCTION (SECURE ATTENTION) & BACKGROUND OF THE PASSAGE: PRAY before starting the sermon. ILLUSTRATION: {There is an old story about a king that was coming to visit a certain land. The people in the land were so excited that a king would grace their little village with his presence. They ...read more

    Will You Leave Jesus?

    What will you do when you face trials, temptations, and persecution? Will you leave Jesus or will you remain faithful to him? I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    INTRODUCTION (SECURE ATTENTION) & BACKGROUND OF THE PASSAGE: PRAY before starting the sermon. Attrition among Christians is a common problem faced by several pastors and missionaries. For instance, according to Pew Research Center, in 2007, 78% of the American adults in the US considered ...read more

    The fourth significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    A TABLE SPREAD. John 6:1-14. “After these things” (John 6:1), Jesus and His disciples crossed the sea of Galilee. “And a great multitude followed Him because they saw His miracles which He did to them which were diseased" (John 6:2). Jesus and His disciples then withdrew from the ...read more

    Faith In The Right Things

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 16, 2025
     | 336 views

    This morning, a Canaanite Woman barges into the house Jesus is praying seeking his help. Jesus comments seem cold, but her acknowledgement of Jesus authority, and her need for Grace brings about a great lesson in where we stand before God.

    Good Morning. Today, we have a tough lesson, in that it seems to show us a Jesus who is not the approachable loving friend we sometimes can imagine, but standoffish, aloof, and cold; similar to the way he talks to Mary in Cana before He turns water into wine. As the cartoon on the bulletin cover ...read more

    Mountain Climbing Without A Veil Series

     | 10,160 views

    My friend Nigel (who is not a Christian) once said that that when Christians speak about God, he can feel like a primitive tribesman who suddenly encounters New York City - he just can’t get his head around it. If we want to begin to get our head around God, what one thing should we do more of?

    Moses climbs up Mount Sinai - up THAT mountain- and disappears into the cloud at the top, the cloud that somehow represents the presence of God. There he stays for forty days in that haze, time apart in the presence of God receiving from God the ten commandments and other laws and teachings for ...read more

    Broken But Recyclable

     | 3,670 views

    Lent is a time we confess we are broken. But Jesus can take what's broken and recycle us to have meaning and purpose for His kingdom

    Lent officially began with the observation of Ash Wednesday, a day for Christians to confess their sins and receive ashes on their foreheads in the shape of a cross. Ashes were a reminder of death, so when people were in mourning or received tragic news, they would put ashes over themselves. ...read more

    It's Time To Open The Gift Series

    Contributed by Terry Barnhill on Jan 21, 2007
     | 6,921 views

    God gives each of us gifts by His Holy Spirit. Some gifts are special blessings while others may be special talents. These gifts are different for each of us, but they all have one thing in common. They must be unwrapped and opened or they have no valu

    My sermon today is the first of two sermons I’ve planned and entitled, “Serving Up God’s Miracles.” On the last day of school, children were bringing gifts to their teacher. The florist’s son brought the teacher a bouquet. The candy store-owner’s son brought the teacher a box of candy. Then the ...read more

    Communion Meditation No. 2: Common Everyday Things Series

    Contributed by Herman Abrahams on Nov 27, 2004
    based on 114 ratings
     | 33,931 views

    Common, everyday things often take on special meanings. A letter becomes a treasure when it is the last one from a loved one. In similar fashion, Jesus took common, ordinary elements—unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine—and made them special.

    Core 52 Week 5 - Holiness Series

    Contributed by Lanny Smith on Mar 2, 2020
     | 2,276 views

    Some things are set apart for specific uses and specific people. We “get it” instinctively that some things are not common. They’re special because of their purpose or perhaps an emotional attachment. That uniqueness, special regard is the idea behind the biblical concept of holiness.
