    Acknowledging God In The Harvest Festival

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 5, 2024
     | 7,796 views

    Why MUST we celebrate harvest? What should we thank God for? When and how should we mark it. And what did David think about it?

    Today is our harvest festival. It’s the time of year when we formally thank God for the harvest. I’d like to tell you a couple of little stories as a lead in to the subject of thanking God. The first story is about Christmas when I was a child. A pile of presents would build up under the ...read more

    Zechariah’s Remarkable Prophecy

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,811 views

    Zechariah's prophecy about Jesus' riding a donkey into Jerusalem leads us to look at what else Zechariah had to say about Jesus. It's all about him being king.

    Today it’s Palm Sunday. We remember the occasion when, just a week before he was crucified, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. In a sense, nothing very remarkable happened. 2,000 years ago – as we all know – there were no cars or buses or lorries. If people were going somewhere they would ...read more

    Esther Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Apr 21, 2023
     | 3,213 views

    God is not done writing our stories. We may not have chosen to be in the circumstances we find ourselves in, but if we hang on - if we choose faith and trust - knowing that if it is not good yet, it’s because God is not done yet, then one day we will see our lives from His vantage point.

    Bible Stories ESTHER Romans 8:28 April 22, 2023 The book of Esther is a true narrative. The story begins in the third year of Xerxes the Great (Ahasuerus), who was King of Persia from 486-465 BC. Xerxes threw a 6-month long feast to honor the officials, princes and nobles that made up the ...read more

     | 1,337 views

    This is a study of the gospel of Mark regarding the life of Jesus. It is based on my personal study and research of Scripture and many books and sermons I have read over the years.

    GOSPEL OF MARK: GOD’S SERVANT IN ACTION HEAR AND OBEY A. Mark 6 opens with Jesus returning to his hometown of Nazareth only to find the RESIDENTS there who knew Him and His family—His Mom and siblings, “taking an OFFENSE at Jesus”- v. 3. 1. This prompted Jesus to say to them, “Only in His ...read more

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jun 16, 2023

    Punishment Of A Nation Series

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 30, 2023
     | 2,311 views

    Every nation has need of discipline. God will punish an evil nation for disobedience by unrighteous leadership. Look at the nation of Judah and God's punishment of them. Yet, God will protect and comfort the righteous in captivity.

    As Americans, we have not seen a complete overthrow of our nation’s leadership. We have witnessed many attempts to assassinate our presidents, with a few successes. Our form of government seems to be stable. The democracy in which we live has been built upon Godly principles and appears to be a ...read more

    Jesus On Adultery And Lust

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 10, 2024
     | 1,320 views

    Jesus teaches on lust. It isn't something preachers generally like to speak about but it's really important. Jesus shows how God's commandment on adultery needs to be practised and he tells us how we can do it.

    Western society is completely comfortable talking about sex. Most people think a lot about sex. Especially men. The Bible talks a lot about sex too. Most preachers, however, do not like to talk about sex. When preachers preach on the Sermon on the Mount, they talk about the Beatitudes. There ...read more

    The main point of this sermon is that through Hannah's story, we learn about the transformative power of prayer and God's ability to turn our mourning into dancing, reminding us to trust in His goodness and faithfulness in every circumstance.

    Good morning, family! Today, we will be diving into the life of Hannah, a woman who experienced God's mercy, the power of prayer, and the blessing of restoration in her life.
