Sermon On False Prophets & Hypocrites

Contributed by William Meakin on Jul 23, 2024

According to Wikipedia, a false prophet, or pseudoprophet is defined as a person who falsely claims the gift of prophecy, divine inspiration, or to speak for God within the realms of evil intent.

Martin Luther, a German priest and theologian once remarked: “It is the nature of all hypocrites and false prophets to create a conscience where there is none, and to cause conscience to disappear where it does exist.” Matthew 7:15-20 reminds us: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in ...read more

Unity is defined as the state of being united or joined as a whole.

Charles Ives, an American composer once remarked: “A rare experience of a moment at daybreak, when something in nature seems to reveal all consciousness, cannot be explained at noon.

Sermon # 1- Life Changing Questions Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 16, 2024

Think about the questions that were posed to various people in the bible in the Old and New Testaments. The way the people responded brought about major transformation in their lives and that’s exactly what God can do to those who believe in Him wholeheartedly.

We read in Matthew 9:27-28, When Jesus left that place, two blind men followed him. They shouted, "Have mercy on us, Son of David.” Jesus went into a house, and the blind men followed him. He said to them, "Do you believe that I can do this?" "Yes, Lord," they answered. ...read more

Contributed by William Meakin on May 26, 2024

As the welcome signs of spring transmogrify into summer, the flowers alter their appearance into a new delight.

Henry Theodore Tuckerman, an American writer and essayist once remarked: “To analyze the charms of flowers is like dissecting music; it is one of those things which it is far better to enjoy, than to attempt to fully understand.” Song of Solomon 2:12 reminds us: “The flowers appear on the earth, ...read more

Sermon – Help For Those Stuck In The Mud

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 14, 2024

With the enemy at the door, the government out of control, stuck in the mud, Jeremiah down in a muddy cistern, stuck up to his arm pit with no way out, God still had a way out! Can ordinary people made a difference?

Sermon # 29 - The Power Of Preaching The Word Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 27, 2024

Jonah preached and the people of Nineveh repented. Preaching the word of God should be taken seriously, should be based on the word of God. Here are some important aspects of preaching which when followed will certainly produce a bountiful harvest.

We read in Jonah 3:5, “The people of Nineveh believed God. They decided to stop eating for a time to think about their sins. They put on special clothes to show they were sorry. All the people in the city did this, from the most important to the least important.” (ERV) The people of Nineveh ...read more

Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 19, 2024

Jonah was a prophet of God, but he did not understand the loving heart of God towards a repentant people. The heart of Moses as a leader of the Israelites and the forgiving heart of Jesus are the best examples of how a Christian leader should love and care for the people under his or her care.

We read in Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) There are two kinds of emotions that Jonah expressed as mentioned in the verse above, one was sadness, and the other was anger. As we meditate on this portion of scripture, we will try to understand the reasons for ...read more

Sermon # 37 - Excuses People Give Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 27, 2024

Jonah has some lame excuses for why he did not want to obey God and preach to the city of Nineveh. There are many others in the bible who gave excuses and the question is “Are we also giving excuses?” or “Are we fulfilling the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus and leading others into His kingdom?”

We read in Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” ...read more

Sermon # 40 - Mercy Instead Of Judgement Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 10, 2025

Jonah freely accepted God’s mercy but wanted God’s judgement to be given the people of Nineveh. God’s word reminds us that it is not our prerogative to judge others, but rather to be merciful to them, just as God is merciful to us.

We read in Jonah 4:4, “Then the LORD said, "Do you think it is right for you to be angry?" (ERV) The God who created heaven and the earth asked Jonah the prophet, if he thought it was right to be angry with Him, very much like a parent would enquire of their child, who is upset with ...read more

Life Is A Sausage (Mini Sermon For A Barbecue)

Contributed by Steve Pearman on Jan 13, 2025

I used this sermon at a community event where we were serving sausages. It was a fun way to get people to think about their life

Today, we’re going to talk about sausages. Yes, sausages! These humble, delicious links have more to teach us about life and faith than you might think. Sausages are a blend of ingredients, seasoned to perfection, and then encased in a skin to create something greater than the sum of its ...read more

Sermon # 42 - Time To Rise Up Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 17, 2025

Jonah was seated in the wrong place waiting for God to pour out His wrath on the city of Nineveh. There were many others in the Bible who were in the wrong place like Jonah. If we are in such a place, God reminds us to rise up and go, to fulfill His purposes for our lives.

We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to the city of Nineveh with a message. When Jonah preached, the people of Nineveh received the ...read more
