Sermon For Trinity Sunday

Contributed by William Meakin on May 6, 2024

The Trinity is considered to represent the strong bond of God’s love, centered on its unity. It is regarded as the unique oneness of three.

Vera Nazarian, a Russian-American writer once remarked: “Love is made up of three unconditional properties in equal measure: 1. Acceptance, 2. Understanding, 3. Appreciation. Remove any one of the three and the triangle falls apart. Which, by the way, is something highly inadvisable. Think about it ...read more

Devoted To Fellowship Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

Fellowship is about coming together as believers, focusing on our common bond in Jesus, and resisting the enemy's attempts to isolate us.

Imagine you're a single Lego brick. On your own, you're cool, but there's only so much you can do. ...read more

Divorce And Remarriage

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 10, 2018

A divorce is a legal matter. God is against it, but in some grave circumstances, it may be necessary. A Church annulment is saying that the marriage consent was substantially defective.

27B Jesus is comparing and contrasting divorce and remarriage from what Moses allowed to his teaching. The same can be done today. e.g. We are aware of King Henry VIII of England who could not divorce Catherine of Aragon, with whom he had been unable to conceive a son, and since he could not ...read more

Contributed by Michael French on Mar 18, 2008

Paul compares the Christian life to a marriage and just like a marriage men will nevery have the intimacy that they desire without communication (prayer).

When we fail to keep his perfect standards perfectly, our failures remind us that Jesus, the cross and the empty tomb is our only hope.

The Gospel passage from Mark 10:2-16 appears at first glance to be two unrelated stories, but there is a connection between the two of them.
