Good News

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Dec 7, 2017

St Mark opens his gospel in a very unique way, its all about good news, a wonderful story all about Jesus Christ the Son of God. What better story can you have!

GOOD NEWS – Mark 1:1-11 I'm sure most of you have been abroad for your holidays and like me had a problem in talking to the locals.

Yhwh The Son

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 7, 2018

This sermon is an attempt to help us to realize the gravity and magnitude of Who is being introduced in the first chapter of Mark. When we describe the Trinity as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit it tends to fragment YHWH in our minds.

Please open your Bibles to Mark 1:9-13 which we will read in a few minutes. Last week we took a look at what John the Baptist meant when he said that he was baptizing people with water but Jesus would baptize them with the Holy Spirit. And we saw that Grace is God’s underserved favor toward ...read more

A Realistic Look At Angels

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 15, 2018

False ideas about angels which have been popularized by the New Age and other "spiritual" movements have actually infiltrated the church. This is a glimpse into a Biblical view of angels, the servants of God.

Last week we used this same passage as a springboard to take a look at who this Jesus really is and His relationship within the Trinity.

The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Craig Condon on May 11, 2015

We are baptized for action. We are baptized to go out into the world and be the hands, voice and presence of Christ. We are baptized for the sake of others and for the sake of the world.

If the reading we heard from Mark’s Gospel a few minutes ago sounds familiar, it’s because we heard part of the same reading a few weeks ago on the Second Sunday of Advent. On that Sunday, we heard John the Baptist talk about the coming of Jesus and the baptism that he would provide-the ...read more
