    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,624 views

    To be amazed is not the same as being converted.

    TEACHING THROUGH HEALING. Mark 1:21-28. As we re-read Mark’s Gospel - as we must, from time to time - we find it to be a Gospel of two halves. The first half tells of Jesus’ presentation to the people as an authoritative teacher (Mark 1:21-22), who also happened to use healing (or more ...read more

    Jesus calls us to love even our enemies. Thus we imitate the perfect love of the Father, and the perfect example of the Son.

    THE CALL TO PERFECT LOVE. Matthew 5:43-48. The last of the six famous parentheses (Matthew 5:21-48) between “Ye have heard that it hath been said” (Matthew 5:43), and “But I say unto you” (Matthew 5:44) - addresses the most blatantly misconstrued of these man-made interpretations of Scripture. ...read more

    An Easter sermonette, one of eight that will delivered on Good Friday at Colombo Central Corps, Sri Lanka. Short for it is to be translated, in what is a three hour service.

    How many Fridays in a year? Yes but only one is good. Good because of God's goodness not mans.
