    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Dec 4, 2016
     | 4,343 views

    This passage talks about misunderstanding developed by Joseph on Mary. Misunderstanding could have spoiled the plan of God. Many Godly people give place for Satan to use them and destroy the ministry. Real understanding of the Scripture brings joy to all

    First Advent Sunday Mathew 1:18-25 Introduction: After the period of 400 dark years, the Lord sent good news to Mary that he would be born in her womb.

    The Spirit descended upon the prophet Isaiah and empowered him to bring good news to the captives, proclaim liberty and announce God's everlasting covenant.

    Introduction As we prepare for the future--for the birth of the Christ Child and the arrival of the King of kings--we once again glance to the past. Today's text directs our attention to the exiles. The Exodus out of slavery in Egypt through the wilderness to the Promised Land and the Exile to ...read more

    A Hiding Place For The Repentant

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 8, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,379 views

    Before we can enter into the blessings which follow forgiveness, we must first admit our sin, and acknowledge our responsibility before God.

    A HIDING PLACE FOR THE REPENTANT. Psalm 32:1-11. The beatitudes of Psalm 32:1-2 remind us of Psalm 1:1-2, which describes the righteous man and proclaims him blessed. Yet, since the fall of Adam, no mere man has been born with original righteousness. The second Psalm leads us to the place where ...read more

    A Missionary To The Gentiles

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 30, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,329 views

    Anticipating the Gentile mission of Acts, Luke shows how it was first initiated by Jesus, through the unlikely figure of the man who came at Jesus from the tombs.

    A MISSIONARY TO THE GENTILES. Luke 8:26-39. The account of the man with the Legion of devils is a dramatic demonstration of the kind of spiritual warfare which is going on for the bodies, minds and souls of mankind. We notice, first of all, that it is Jesus who initiated this particular ...read more

     | 4,664 views

    On the eve of the Protestant Revolution/reformation, there was both piety and corruption in the Church.

    Thursday of the 22nd Week in Course 2017 St. Paul’s prayer for the Colossians, and for us, is simple and yet profound: “that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,018 views

    A best man's love song at a wedding turns out to be a dirge.

    THE SONG OF THE VINEYARD. Isaiah 5:1-7. The first thing that we may notice about this passage, is Isaiah’s relationship with the LORD (Isaiah 5:1). The prophet is speaking for the remnant of Israel, and calls the LORD his Beloved. This echoes the language of Song of Solomon 2:16, where the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,382 views

    The burdens of life can seem the truest part of life. In Christ, the truest part of life is joy in the Holy Spirit.

    This is a short homily given at an inner-city mission in Toronto. Have you ever felt like life is too much? It’s all just too hard, too painful, too much work? Have you ever felt like throwing in the towel? I think we’ve all felt something like that from time to time. The accumulated ...read more

    The Great Commission

    based on 6 ratings
     | 12,861 views

    The actual going is subservient to the task: the preaching, teaching and baptising... If God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31). If Immanuel is with us, then we need have no fear. If the Holy Spirit is in us, then we are empowered...

    THE GREAT COMMISSION. Matthew 28:16-20. Jesus’ band of disciples now numbered eleven after the demise of Judas. They were obedient to an appointment to meet Jesus in Galilee (Matthew 28:16). This was where it had all begun: ‘Galilee of the Gentiles’ (Matthew 4:15). Now, back in Galilee, the ...read more

     | 6,436 views

    When God blesses us with moments of joy, we must give ourselves to the joy and dance with all our might. The Holy Spirit will not have it any other way

    It had been a rocky ride for David… with little more than a prayer, he had slain Goliath, but he had also been a victim of Saul’s madness, He had experienced great highs and some deep lows, but now, he was dancing with all his might, because he was bringing the ark home. The ark ...read more

    Let us pray for the whole state of Christ's church.

    OH THAT YOU WOULD REND THE HEAVENS! Isaiah 64:1-9. When we pray for the whole state of Christ’s church, as we must do given the Lord’s own example (John 17:9), we should encourage ourselves by recalling past mercies. In the context of this passage, Isaiah has been gradually building up through ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,198 views

    When we see Jesus, we see the very reflection of God Himself.

    THE FINAL REVELATION. Hebrews 1:1-4. The poetry of this short passage is beautiful, and the theology is exquisite. The high Christology of these words and phrases resonates with the majesty and dignity of our Saviour. We are left in no doubt that “the Son” is the very voice of God to mankind. ...read more
