    Confess And Believe

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 21, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,894 views

    Made righteous through the righteousness of Jesus, which we receive by faith in Him. Whoever believes in Jesus shall not be ashamed. Whoever calls upon His name will be saved. Sincere faith leads to public confession of Christ.

    CONFESS AND BELIEVE. Romans 10:9. According to a Roman historian, the Emperor Claudius ordered all the Jews to leave Rome after public disorders caused by the preaching of the claims of Jesus Christ in the synagogues. This fact is echoed in the Scriptures, where we find the Jewish Christian ...read more

    A World Waiting For Jesus

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Oct 5, 2012
     | 6,882 views

    Sometimes we come across to others as people who seem very different from what we claim to be. This happens when we fail to practice what we preach. It also happens when others make assumption about us without having all the facts.

    A world waiting for Jesus Isaiah 51:1-18 and Matthew 16:1-12 An honest man is being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turns yellow, just in front of him. He does the honest thing, and stops at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light ...read more

    Two Mindsets, Two Roads, Two Destinies

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 5, 2016
    based on 16 ratings
     | 9,044 views

    The present state of the believer is one of hope.

    TWO MINDSETS, TWO ROADS, TWO DESTINIES. Romans 8:6-11. This short passage describes two states of mind: literally, “the mind of the flesh (which is) death”; and “the mind of the Spirit (which is) life and peace” (Romans 8:6). These are two quite distinct mindsets, which lead to two differing ...read more

    A Reverent Account Of A Horrific Event

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 14, 2017
    based on 18 ratings
     | 9,205 views

    Matthew's account of Jesus' Passion, as viewed from its own Biblical, historical and theological context.

    A REVERENT ACCOUNT OF A HORRIFIC EVENT. Matthew 27:11-54. It is quite remarkable that two acts within Matthew’s account of our Lord’s judicial murder are passed over quite without the gory details which our modern culture seems to demand. Each is referred to by a single word in the Greek, each ...read more

    The Garden

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2014

     | 10,623 views

    Man in the image of God, man in the Garden.

    THE GARDEN. Genesis 2:4-25. In Genesis 1 we saw Creation from the cosmological viewpoint of God. The expression “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth” in Genesis 2:4 links the seeming remoteness of God in the earlier account with the intimacy of the Garden, viewing Creation ...read more

    The Culture Of Appreciating What Bears Fruits For You And What Doesn’t

    Contributed by Richard Papafio on Mar 20, 2019
     | 3,263 views

    Not all things bear fruits. Know what does and what doesn't so you don't use your time chasing the wind

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. *DAY 13 OF LENT* Our reflection for today is on the 11th Kingdom Culture from the parable below: *THE BARREN FIG TREE* Luke 13:6-9 King James Version (KJV) 6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and ...read more

    Our Prayers Have Been Answered Series

    Throughout the Hebrew scriptures, the promise of a messiah is clearly given. These messianic prophecies were made hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years before Jesus Christ was born … and clearly Jesus Christ is the only person who has ever walked this earth who could fulfill them.

    “Jerusalem, Jerusalem … the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!” (Matthew 23: 37). Prophetic and chilling words given the one who spoke them. They are the last words that the Lord Jesus Christ would address to His beloved city, Jerusalem … the city that hailed Him ...read more

     | 593 views

    immediately after Jesus was baptized by John he was forced into the desert by the Holy Spirit

    Mark 1:9-15 Today is the first Sunday of Lent – the annual period of self-reflection leading to the joy and celebration of Easter. It is also the Sunday that we hear in the reading about the baptism of Jesus and God's affirmation that He is His "well-beloved son." It helps ...read more

    Persuaded

    based on 73 ratings
     | 10,593 views

    Lent 1: What allowed the Apostle Paul to live through the trials in his life? What about Abraham? They were ’Persuaded’ - persuaded that nothing could seperate them from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

    Note: All three lessons for today (Gen. 22:1-18; Rom. 8:31-39; Mark 1:12-15) are used in this sermon, but the primary focus is Rom. 8:38-39. “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, ...read more

    Lent 3A: First person sermon. The Samaritan woman recounts her meeting with Jesus, and how sharing with others what God has done in your life can help your faith grow.

    Grace to you and peace, sisters and brothers, from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus— who is * the Messiah. Amen I have a story to tell you today about something that happened when I was much younger, a few thousand years younger. It happened when I was living in the small town ...read more

    This was a sermon for the Third Sunday in Lent based on the Lectionary old Testament Lesson for Year C from Isaiah 55:1-9. If we seek the Lord in the true spirit of repentance, we shall find Him.

    Seek the Lord --Isaiah 55:1-9 Our Scripture reading from Isaiah 55:1-9 is the Old Testament Lesson from the New Common Lectionary for this Third Sunday in Lent. The passage has always been a favorite of mine. After prophesying the sufferings of Jesus on the cross in Chapter 53, Isaiah bursts ...read more

     | 10,162 views

    Lent 3C: Looking past the Law and the barren fig tree, we find the Good News that Jesus let himself be cut down rather than let the fig tree (us) be cut down.

    With One Voice # 713 - Lord, Let My Heart Be Good Soil Let us pray: Lord, let our hearts be good soil. Plant the seed of your Word in our minds and hearts, and help it to bring forth fruit in our lives. Amen Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do bad things happen at all?

    Christians around the world use Lent as a time to remember the journey of Jesus toward the cross, and as an opportunity to examine their own walk with Jesus. Consider three crucial aspects of our faith journey — transformation, trust, and surrender.

    Go! and Be Transformed, Trust, and Surrender: A Call to Live Fully for Christ LENT is meant to be a period of reflection, repentance and preparation. Christians around the world use Lent as a time to remember the journey of Jesus toward the cross, and as an opportunity to examine their own ...read more

    Be Careful What You Ask For

    based on 26 ratings
     | 13,678 views

    Lent 5: James and John ask Jesus for seats of privilege at his right and left. Ambition, power and glory are often pursued - but at a cost. Glory to Jesus is much different than what we see... Be careful what you ask for!

    One of my favorite movies of all time is The Christmas Story. The character around whom the story revolves is nine year-old Ralphie. Now more than anything else in the world, Ralphie wanted a Red Ryder BB gun. But every time he mentioned it, he would be rebuffed. Ralphie asked his momma for the ...read more

    The Transforming Gospel

     | 26,957 views

    Paul makes a special plea to his friend Philemon concerning his run-away slave but now a Christian, showing how the gospel transforms all relationships.

    THE TRANSFORMING GOSPEL Letter writing is almost a lost art. We’d rather pick up the phone or dash off an e-mail but I’m glad that Paul used pen and ink. Doubtless Paul, being a man of letters and bubbling over with ideas for the spread of the gospel, must have written many ...read more
