    based on 1 rating
     | 5,844 views

    A Biblical understanding of Stewardship: God gives generously (faith, salvation, eternal life, forgiveness, etc) and by God's Holy Spirit, we may also give generously.

    Grace, mercy, peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Today is Stewardship Sunday. Today is the day that, and let me be straight forward with you, today is the day that we talk about money. About giving, about generosity. But I’m not going to try and guilt you ...read more

    “All power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely..."

    “Speaking truth to power” Saint of God, We are taking our time reexamining the historical Jesus in the light of His life and sayings. What did He really mean? And what should we make of the fact that millions around the world have died for this man who called Himself “the ...read more

    The Greatest

    The analogy of the child being the greatest in God’s Kingdom was completely contrary to the prevailing culture then and now. Imagine how His disciples must have reacted to Jesus then and how indifferent it is even today.

    Opening illustration: If God was taking resumes, what would you put on yours? In other words, what makes a good Christian? What would really impress them when you arrive in heaven? Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more

    Disciples Contend For Greatness

    I wonder, is there a bit of worldly ambition present in these men that He had called to be His disciples? I believe they may have been doing a bit of bragging among themselves, and now they come to Jesus to see who He thinks is the greatest disciple.

    As Little Children

    Jesus says we must become children to enter the Kingdom. What does this look like?

    As a Little Child Matthew 18:1-9 This is a well-known passage because it refers to the innocence of children. We often call them our “little angels” even if their misbehavior often contradicts. When a child tragically dies, if is said that God needed another angel in heaven. By the way, this is ...read more

    Hell And The Gospel Series

    People feel "uncomfortable" about the topic of "Hell", but avoiding it will not change what Jesus taught about Hell; the Gospel frees people from the threat of Hell.

    “A Four-Letter Word and the Gospel” or “Hell and the Gospel” Matt. 18:1-9, 25:29-46 Recently someone told me that I talk too much about sin. IF I am guilty of that accusation, I can justify my actions: SIN is the reason for millions of people spending their eternities in ...read more

    Funeral for a infant child

    At times like this we look for meaning. Our faith is tested. Our understanding of God and of ourselves, is put to the test. Is our love deep enough to endure? Is God’s grace vast enough to suffice? We want to make sense of such suffering. Why does a loving God allow that such pain to continue in ...read more
