Strength Through Humility

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jul 7, 2014

The world thinks humility is pious weakness, whereas the bible says it is strength through submission, in fact true humility results in power, and honour and glory and majesty and strength. Who would not want that?

The Leadership Style Of Jesus: Is It Your Style?

Contributed by Kelly Durant on Sep 6, 2015

Many people love harshness in a leader, but Jesus was loving and forgiving. People desire to be leaders but few qualify, only those who rule as Jesus deserve authority.

The Easiest Yoke We Can Carry

Contributed by Craig Condon on Nov 9, 2015

As we come together to worship every week, we admit our hunger for God. God sees our emptiness and feeds us the choicest food, the flesh and blood of the one who invites us today to take his yoke upon us and learn from him for he is meek and humble.

Have you ever noticed that there are always some people who can never be satisfied or happy with anything?

What Makes Jesus' Yoke Light? (Matthew 11:1-30) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

Jesus' expectations are high (Matthew 5-7). So how can he say his yoke is a light burden? Jesus' yoke is not optional, and not secondary. You come to Jesus, in part, by taking on his yoke.

What makes Jesus' yoke light? (Matthew 11:1-30) We were doing family devotions the other night, and I was so proud of two of them, and found their insights so helpful, that I thought I'd sidetrack for a week and just make a record of this for myself. And the best way I know to do that, ...read more

The Wicked Generation

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 15, 2022

John the Baptizer wasted no time in telling Herod that it was wrong for him to have his brother Phillip’s wife saying that it was not lawful. John went to prison for being the prophet God called him to be and not the puppet that Herod wanted him to be.

THE WICKED GENERATION Text: Matthew 11:1 – 19, 25- 30 N. T. Wright once said that “… wicked people don’t like a message of judgment because they think the message is aimed at them, (and rightly so) while good people don’t like a message of mercy because they think (wrongly) that ...read more

Acceptance Or Rejection Of John The Baptist And Jesus Christ Series

Contributed by Leighton (Lee) Vary on Mar 21, 2017

Jesus was saying that His own generation was a childish generation. By childish He meant perverse. They turned away from that which was right and good to that which was corruptible. They were just wrong-headed, mindless, and contrary.

Excuses, Excuses

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 23, 2023

Everybody has an excuse for not getting seriously involved with God. And some of those reasons are genuine. But some excuses are just another way of saying “I have more important things to do with my life, don’t bother me.”

Jesus had been preaching and teaching, healing all kinds of sicknesses and casting out demons, up and down the Sea of Galilee for months. Everywhere he went people gathered, waiting for hours - some just to hear him speak, others hoping for the chance to ask him a question or even just to touch ...read more

Are You Dancing To Their Tune?

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 30, 2023

Many people want you to dance to their tune, to order your life according to their convictions and demands. Some of them are in the church. But the freedom that we have in Christ releases us from being slaves to the opinions of others, and even requires it.

This morning, I’d like us to consider a passage of Scripture in which Jesus makes an astute observation about the social and religious culture of his day. It’s a fairly brief remark, but one that is full of significance for us today, because it gives us a perspective on how to react to criticism ...read more
