  • Jesus Needs A Break! (Mark 7:24-37)

    Contributed by David Smith on Nov 5, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,788 views

    Jesus Needs a Break! Depictions of Christ suffering on the cross are common in Christian literature and iconography. Few though are the depictions of Jesus walking around..

    Our Gospel reading this morning is from Mark chapter 7, where we come across a Jesus who is tired - tired, I think, to the point of exhaustion. This is not the sort of depiction of Jesus that is given much attention by the church. I’ve never seen a stained-glass window with an image of Jesus ...read more

  • Why Shepherds?

    based on 101 ratings
     | 37,311 views

    The birth of Jesus Christ was not revealed to kings or rulers. It was not revealed to the religious elite. When God came to earth, He let the world know by announcing the birth of His Son to lowly shepherds.

    Why Shepherds? Luke 2:8-20 Introduction The birth of Jesus Christ was not revealed to kings or rulers. It was not revealed to the religious elite. When God came to earth, He let the world know by announcing the birth of His Son to lowly shepherds. Why? Perhaps He wanted the poor and outcast of ...read more

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 4, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,106 views

    The church does not exist to make us comfortable. We are under obligation to cater to the needs of those who are less mature.

    It’s About the Kingdom Romans 15:1-6 Max Lucado in his book A Gentle Thunder, tells a story about a man who encountered another man carrying a Bible. “Are you a believer?” “Yes,” he said excitedly. I've learned that you can't be too careful who you fellowship with, ...read more

    Jeremiah 1:17 "But you—up on your feet and get dressed for work! Stand up and say your piece. Say exactly what I tell you to say. Don't pull your punches or I'll pull you out of the lineup. 18-19"Stand at Up while I prepare you for your work. I'm making you as impregnable as a ...read more

  • What Must I Do To Achieve Eternal Life?

    Contributed by Peter Fisher on Jul 19, 2010
     | 3,145 views

    Looking at the question that generated the story of the Good Samaritan

    This story that Jesus told has so ingrained itself into our psyche that there is even an organisation that has taken the name. The Samaritans are there to help, to provide a listening ear for the most desperate people who have nowhere else to turn. That's the power of simple stories with a clear ...read more

    Philippians Pt7- Prayer in Action! Pre-introduction On the average Americans spend $94.32 for Father’s Day and $126.90 for Mother’s Day.

  • Injustice In The Church Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 5, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,121 views

    Why is the Church so guilty of injustice and does it rule out faith in God as a valid life choice?

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. I’m going to begin today with a short ...read more

  • Be Encouraged! Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 5, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,224 views

    Paul’s final theological words to the Romans hold a lot of weight. But in some ways Paul says to ’lighten up!’ when it comes to dealing with people who are different than us in the body of Christ.

    We’ve been talking a lot about getting along in a hostile environment. That, to use an old adage, honey attracts more flies than vinegar. To be a compliant citizen of your nation, even when it doesn’t reflect the character of God very well, is a good thing because it allows the spotlight to be on ...read more

     | 9,941 views

    Generosity is an important aspect of Christianity. This sermon explores not only why we should be generous but also how we can be generous Christians.

    When it comes to generosity, who are the first people that come to mind? Does the church come to mind? Is the church the first thing you think of when you think of generosity? In other words, are we generous people? Well it’s a matter of perspective. Some of us have been richly blessed by ...read more
