    Jesus is not interested in rules which people can point to as the outward manifestation of some arbitrary rule-driven form of righteousness. He is interested in the heart.

    There are many traditions in the world. One of those traditions is to have a liturgical calendar and today, May 27 happens to be the Day of Pentecost. It is the day of the birth of the church, fifty days after the Passover. And that was the day according to Jewish tradition that Moses received ...read more

    An honest look at the human heart is revealing and countermands the old concept that "The Heart is Good."

    My Heart Condition Matthew 15:1-20 • I submit that this story is a microcosm of the life of Jesus and His focus on the truth. • This past week I read a statistic that over 40% of deaths in America are caused by issues of the heart. Ultimately, every death is caused by heart failure. ...read more

    A root connotes many things. It also includes the origin or source of a thing or person. It is the base, anchor, beginning or centre of a thing.

    This week, we are looking at the message entitled, “When your root is injured.” Deuteronomy 29:18 says, “Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest ...read more

    Consuming Alcohol

    This sermon is dealing with the consumption of alcohol.

    It would not be much of a stretch for me to say that when it comes to teaching and preaching about alcohol; this subject can really bother some people. I have seen people storm out of churches just because of what the preacher was preaching about. Instead of confronting him on the issue and ...read more

    Attempts to reveal all the activities that cause unholiness and shows how holy-living can be enforced in one’s life when it seems difficult to remain holy.

    Sexual immorality will easily come to mind as an agent of defilement of a holy life; furthermore, a person who has indulged in making the body unclean has also grieved the Holy Spirit and is about crucifying Jesus a second time! (Ephesians 4:30, Hebrews 6:6). We have been taught in the scripture ...read more

    God's Word Or Ours?

    Religious traditions are dangerous. We can easily be satisfied by them. Passified by them so that we go to sleep and do not follow God's call. May God deliver us!

    Matthew 15:1-20 has been a key passage to point out the danger of vain worship by following man made traditions instead of God's word. I have often heard this passage applied to the activities that we do in our church services, but Jesus' application is actually much broader. So just what is a ...read more

    Matthew 15: 10-20 - Barclay stated that this Scripture was 'one of the supreme contests in history'. Two religious viewpoints clash with what Jesus says. Jesus again points to what is really important.

    The marginal people storm into the church, insisting that the church should live up to the pattern offered by Jesus. They rock the boat, and in so doing they force the church to remember its reason for being.

    There is a story of a group of the very pious who are waiting in heaven for judgment. As they are waiting and complaining about the wait, they begin to see some of the “sinners” they knew on earth coming into the waiting room: a corrupt politician, an itinerant woman who had been ...read more
