Exodus 19 - Fear God But Draw Near With Holy Boldness! How Does That Work? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 28, 2009

What I love is that we are not told to stand back from God. We are not told not to go too close. Unlike the people of Israel, we are told to be like Moses and to draw near to God.

Exodus 19 - Holy Boldness! I can’t say I have ever felt afraid of God, but I have felt the awe of His presence, and I have been overcome by a sense of His majesty. I remember standing out on a mound of earth out on a property and looking up at the stars. Away from the city, the stars seem so much ...read more

The God Who Weeps

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 12, 2016

Our resources have run out, and there is no healing balm for the malady of sin apart from the blood of Jesus.

THE GOD WHO WEEPS. Jeremiah 8:18-22; Jeremiah 9:1. We are accustomed to referring to Jeremiah as the ‘weeping prophet’ – and rightly so. However, Jeremiah’s tears do not just speak to us about the prophet, but also about the people – and mainly about God. In that sense, we might refer to the ...read more

Creation Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

We are here by design, not by chance. As part of God's creation, we bear His fingerprints and are called to be stewards of the world, working towards bringing heaven to earth.

God made the world. Sounds simple, right? But when this was first written down, it was a game-changer. Other ancient religions thought that matter was always there and the gods just came out of it. But the Bible tells us that God made everything from scratch. That means God is super involved with ...read more

Words Of Spirit & Life Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Aug 25, 2008

During the 1st part of Jesus’ ministry people were attracted by His teaching. Many attached themselves to Him, some of them wholeheartedly, some loosely. Then came a time when their allegiance was tested-as it comes to test every disciple.

JOHN 6: 59-71 WHO CAN ACCEPT WORDS OF SPIRIT AND LIFE? During the first part of Jesus’ ministry people were attracted by His teaching and flocked round Him. Many attached themselves to Him, some of them wholeheartedly, some loosely. Then came a time when ...read more

Screen Doors For The Kursk Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 24, 2000

Doing battle always requires protection, but we often try to use something flimsy, not employing the help which God gives through others.

No one in his right mind goes out to do battle without protection. You won’t last long on to any battlefield, whether it be the beaches of Normandy or the sands of Kuwait, if you don’t have some kind of armor. Tanks, flak jackets, bulletproof vests – you must have something to protect your heart, ...read more

The Nature Of Our Nature Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 23, 2010

Why do we do what we don't want to do? Etc, etc. In this message we look at the why and how of the sinful nature

Wow that was depressing. I would have expected more from Paul, but this just sounds like whining. I half expected him to check himself into a rehab centre by the time I got to the end of this section. But at some time in our Christian life most of us could probably identify with what Paul is ...read more

Words That Cause Stumbling Series

Contributed by Ron Tuit on Sep 11, 2015

The word "doctrines" has almost become a "dirty word" in many Christian circles. Often times when people hear a difficult teaching, or "doctrine", they become disenchanted and at times even divisive. Jesus spoke to this tendency in John 6.

“Words that Cause Stumbling” John 6:59-64 Last week we ended with these verses from John 6:56 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 "As the living Father sent Me, and I live ...read more

A Faith Worth Fighting For - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Todd Catteau on Apr 26, 2023

Part 2 in a series of sermons from the short and often neglected letter of Jude. Jude reveals the nature of the false teaching and the character of the false teachers.

Open back up to Jude. Last week we discussed some introductory matters (vv 1-4). Jude is one of the most neglected books of the Bible because of its brevity, difficult subject matter (judgment of false teachers), and its reference to non-canonical books (we will address that today). Written by ...read more

What Will Our Bodies Be Like? Series

Contributed by James Bohrer on Dec 24, 2008

The sermon shares about the nature of the eternal bodies believers receive.

42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural ...read more
