    Why is it our Christmas joy, peace, and hope are so fleeting? Perhaps, as nearly happened 2000 years ago, someone or something is trying to steal our joy.

    A favorite bed time story at this time of year is the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, by Dr. Seuss. It begins . . . Every Who Down in Who-ville Liked Christmas a lot... But the Grinch, Who lived just north of Who-ville, Did NOT! The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, ...read more

    God has not been stingy in sharing his love with us.

    Did you take the time this year to return the envelope with Ed McMahon’s head on it? If you’re like me you did. I returned it not so much because I was confident that I would win, but thinking that if I didn’t return it that would be the time that my number would be drawn and because my entry was ...read more

    In response to the terrorist attacks on NY and WA, this sermon attempts to help people learn to lean on God in times of trouble.

    WHEN YOUR WORLD COLLAPSES---PSALMS 34:15-19 JOKE---In memory of those who’s lives were stolen in a murderous act of war, at the WTC, the Pentagon, and in the hills of New Jersey, there will be no joke this week.

    As we see the Last Day approaching Christians prepare by encouraging one another.

    This Sunday marks another change in the church year. For the next three weeks we focus our attention toward Jesus’ Second Coming. During these Sundays known as the season of "End Times" we consider the things our Lord has told us about his Second Coming. This morning the Apostle Paul talks to us ...read more

    An International Church Series

     | 4,982 views

    Corinth is a church with great resources, both material and spiritual, but it’s also a church with great responsibilities. It needs to recognise that it’s part of a world wide church and express that membership materially. And it needs to be on guard agai

    We tend to think of the world today as shrinking, getting smaller and smaller. For example, last week, Di and I boarded a plane in Melbourne and 2 hours later we were throwing off our jumpers and getting ready for a swim in the pool at Noosa. You can get on a plane this afternoon and by tomorrow ...read more

    David Is Made King Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 20, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 13,990 views

    David becomes King by God’s plan but as a result of a series of events which are sometimes ungodly in nature. God is able to use ungoldy actions by sinful men and women to bring about his good purposes in history.

    I think it’s easy to have a romantic view of the history of David as King of Israel. It’s such a great story isn’t it? The good looking shepherd boy who becomes king. The youngest son who is chosen and anointed by God to lead his people. The young lad who defeats the battle seasoned giant Goliath. ...read more

    Like A Shepherd Leads Us

     | 4,458 views

    Ever think of why we don’t follow God’s leading? I don’t know about you, but I can think of at least 3 or 4 GREAT reasons not to follow God -- but are they good enough?

    Psalm 23 has a very clear and comforting image of God leading us as a shepherd leads his flock. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. Which is to say, Since the Lord is my leader, I will not need anything else. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he ...read more

    Part 6 in Sermon on Mount Series, looks at our need to make a difference.

    If you were going to make a statement that would indicate the worth of someone who meant a great deal to you what metaphors would you use. "a million bucks" "gold" "silver" "pearls" "priceless" "a mint" how about "Salt" For the past several weeks we have been following the words of Christ as he ...read more
