Jesus showed up at the Pool of Bethesda and crashed the Pool Party to heal a disabled man. The stirred waters was no match for the Living Water!
Theme: The Day Jesus Crashed a Pool Party Text: John 5:1-9 (King James Version) After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a ...read more

As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days. Some go to fortunetellers at this time of the year hoping to find out what the future holds for them.
But God had a purpose in us not knowing everything. Illus: A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortuneteller's tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down. "Ahh....." said the woman, as she gazed into her crystal ball. ...read more

In this sermon, I want to complete the preaching on the Fruit of the Spirit.
The last fruit that we are going to deal with is the fruit of Temperance. When I think of the fruit of Temperance, I think of a thermostat. Illus: You know what a thermostat does!

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23
The resurrection of Christ is the most important topic of the Bible. It is not one of the most important, but THE MOST IMPORTANT topic of the Bible.
The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity. Everything else that was said or done by Christ and the Apostles is secondary in importance to the resurrection. That is: • If the resurrection DID NOT take place, then Christianity is a false religion. • ...read more

As we begin to celebrate Easter starting tomorrow with Good Friday and ending on Sunday with Easter Sunday, I would like to address one question… Why should anyone believe in Jesus?

The antichrists are around all the time and many of them are very nice. If they are going to be saved our radically calling is not to be nice Christians, but sacrificially loving Christians. John teaches us how to do this.
You can listen to this sermon at https://www.npbc.org.au/podcasts/media 1 John 2:18-29 “The Nice Antichrists” When John writes his Epistles it is very clear there has been a division within the church. The division has resulted in a “them” group and an “us” group. In 1 John 2:18-29 John tells us ...read more

I want to discuss a related spiritual phenomenon that has existed for a long time and whose solution is one that I think we can all grasp and work towards. I want us to consider a spiritual labor shortage which is one that was pointed out by Jesus and continues to this day.
TITLE: A LABOR SHORTAGE SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 9:35-38 / ST. LUKE 10:1-4 There has been a lot of talk recently about a current labor shortage, as many businesses find themselves short-staffed and unable to find or keep employees. I will defer to those with more expertise in the economic field ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 9:35-38, Luke 10:1-4
All of history is a battle between the liberal and the conservative. One of the most fascinating paradoxes of Scripture is that Jesus was both a liberal and a conservative.
In his book Like A Mighty Army, Halford Luccock tells an interesting story about theatrical history. In the middle of the 19th century the right to produce dramatic performances was limited to a few theaters which had been able to develop a monopoly. Some bright boys of the theater found ...read more
Scripture: Mark 2:18-22

Scripture: Revelation 1:3
The paralytic in Mark 2:1-12 had paralysis that was obviously caused by his sin. His suffering and his sin were somehow connected. That is why Jesus enables the paralyzed man to experience healing as forgiveness.
TEAMWORK IN TRANSIT TO JESUS Text: Mark 2:1-12 Mark 2:1-12 When he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. (2) So many gathered around that there was no longer room for them, not even in front of the door; and he was speaking the word to ...read more
