    Scripture Romans 12:1-2 I beseech (beg) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of ...read more

    In Christ we have complete salvation, forgiveness, victory, and growth.

    Background: • As the Apostle Paul continues to write, we find that chapter two is a sobering wakeup call to the church. The true church of Jesus Christ will always be at war until the return of Christ. Last week we looked at how our enemy the devil seeks to knock the church ...read more

    Samuels Secret

    Contributed by Mike Hullah on Oct 3, 2013

     | 10,240 views

    Scripture tells us that not one word that Samuel spoke fell to the ground. Every word came to pass! What was Samuels secret? This sermon tells his secret.

    SAMUELS SECRET In this day and age of broken political promises, deception and lies most people feel betrayed by their leaders and institutions, and may I say somewhat embarrassingly the Church. However the Bible tells us about a man “whose words never dropped to the ground” a ...read more

    THE SONG OF THE THUNDERSTORM. Psalm 29 - “The voice of the LORD”. 1. The thunderstorm Storm clouds gather over the Mediterranean.

    Longing for home.

    TOWARDS A NEW CREATION. 2 Corinthians 5:6-17. Having spoken of the impermanence of the ‘tent’ of this body, and the ‘eternity’ of our dwelling in heaven (2 Corinthians 5:1), the Apostle Paul began to mix his metaphors, yearning to be ‘clothed upon’ with ‘our habitation which is from ...read more

    It is in the very nature of a forgiving God to - well, forgive!

    HEALING THE LEPROSY OF SIN. Mark 1:40-45. 1. The leper The various skin diseases which fall under the Biblical heading of ‘leprosy’ have long stood as a metaphor for that worst of all human diseases: sin. However, this does not detract from the historicity of the incident which Mark now sets ...read more

    A call to humility. A warning against stumbling blocks. Lost sheep found.

    AS A LITTLE CHILD. Matthew 18:1-14. 1. The disciples came to Jesus, openly and unashamedly asking, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” (Matthew 18:1). Jesus’ response was to call a little child to Himself. The child freely and willingly came. Jesus set him in the midst of the ...read more

    A Model Of Ministry

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 9, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,437 views

    We must learn to become all things to all men, that we might indeed WIN/GAIN some for Christ to SAVE.

    A MODEL OF MINISTRY. 1 Corinthians 9:16-23. The Apostle Paul has argued that, as their minister, he had every right to expect a wage from the church in Corinth (1 Corinthians 9:14). However, and somewhat surprisingly, he then turns the idea on its head: ‘Nevertheless, we have not used this ...read more

     | 6,750 views

    Jesus will judge the nations (peoples) of the world on judgement day.

    This reading uses the separating of sheep and goats as a means of illustrating how Our Lord will separate the righteous from the unrighteous on that Judgement Day. The use of the sheep and goats as an illustration always amuses me. Years ago, on the mission field in the Dominican Republic, I was ...read more

    All power is ours in Christ Jesus!

    TAPPING INTO THE POWER. Colossians 1:11-20.

     | 2,541 views

    Hear O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:4-5.

    THIS IS THE COMMANDMENT. Deuteronomy 6:1-9. “This is the commandment” (Deuteronomy 6:1) is emphatic. The whole law is boiled down to the one commandment to “love the LORD thy God” (Deuteronomy 6:5). The outworking of this commandment is seen in our ‘loving our neighbours as ourselves’ ...read more
