    False prophets are not just an Old Testament problem. We have them in full force today, in all denominations, telling us that God is “doing a new thing,” misinterpreting Isaiah 43:19 to justify sin.

    Other Scriptures used: Jeremiah 23:23-29 Psalm 82 Hebrews 12:1-14 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) False prophets are not just an ...read more

    A sermon on Jesus’ statement about setting the World on Fire

    I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already!(Luke 12:49 NJB) What a powerful and frightening statement! For those gathered around Jesus it was a very disturbing. Why would it be disturbing? What do these words mean to you? What do you think of when Jesus talks ...read more

    All Is NOT Easy in the Kingdom of God 1) It wasn’t easy for Jesus. 2) It won’t be easy for us.

    There was a young girl who loved to sing and wanted to make a career of it since it seemed like an easy way to make lots of money. So when the girl won a pass to meet her favourite artist, the first thing she blurted out was: “Oh, I would give anything for your career!” “Anything?” the artist ...read more

    A look at Jesus’ statements about coming to bring not peace, but division.

    With this speech, Jesus certainly grabs our attention. “Do you think that I have come to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.” It’s not exactly what most of us come to church on Sunday morning hoping to hear. To a large extent our families are what make us who we are, where we ...read more

    Who put a division among the Jews? It was Jesus.

    The Lies of False Religions pt. 4. Ask yourself, Who put a division among the Jews? It was Jesus. John 10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

    How attached are you to this world and how much do you worry about being provided for here? How attached are you to heaven? What happens when God doesn’t answer your prayers?

    Moving is an all-encompassing experience. It’s been some years since I’ve had to move my family, but I remember it well.

    Jesus was controversial - and if you are having a comfortable Christian life - are you really worshipping the Jesus of the New Testament?

    Luke 12:49-56 Gentle Jesus meek and mild You have to be kidding!!

    The Fire that Jesus brings to the earth is a Fire of love, not the consuming fire of destruction such that destroyed Sodom and Gomorah, however, it’s impact burns in the hearts of the hearers and causes them to judge their own deeds which results in confl

    Let’s put it this way, it’s not nice to hear any message of destruction, talk less of destruction by bringing fire to the earth.

    The cross of Christ not only brings peace, but also division. When faced with opposition and division, disciples of Christ stand firm while loving and respecting their opponents.

    Luke 12:49-56 “The Limits of Peace” INTRODUCTION The night sky was cloudless and filled with stars. Shepherds watched their flocks, while they huddled around a campfire.
