    :We can become sluggish in our bodies and go to the doctor, and after a thorough examination he might conclude that our bodies are lacking in calcium, iron, potassium, or some other particular vitamin.

    In the passage of scripture under consideration, it seems as though Peter has examined us and has discovered we all have a deficiency when it comes to having the proper attitude toward certain things. One's attitude is how one thinks toward a certain thing. Our thinking can be correct or ...read more

    Many people seem to have the hope or feeling that when someone dies, death will somehow make a transformation in that person. Even though he or she was a scoundrel in life, they comfort themselves by acting as if that person will end up in heaven with God for all eternity.

    Alba 5-18-2025 WHO WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? I Corinthians 6:9-11 “Who’s going to be in heaven?” Just what kind of people do you suppose are going to be there? Many folks would say, “Good people get into heaven. If you are a good person, you get to go there; if you aren't, then you ...read more

    Money is a thorny question and many of us think we are less rich than we are. "Money dysmorphia". In Luke 12:13-21 Jesus challenges us on our attitude.

    This sermon was first preached 3rd July 2025 at St Grabriel's Acton. It builds on some of my previous sermons on the topic preached elsewhere especially "Frenchie upsets his dad"; "Baking bigger cakes - wealth creation the Wesley Way" and "Generous Wallet Happy ...read more

    Use Your Worldly Wealth Wisely

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 29, 2025
     | 182 views

    The parable of the dishonest manager leaves us with many unanswered questions. Why did Jesus use the “creative accounting” done by a cheater as the basis for a lesson on managing money and material wealth?

    Dynamite. The airplane. Television. The Internet. Those are just a few examples of things that mankind has invented that have been used for good and for evil. Dynamite has allowed people to accomplish great tasks in building, mining, and demolition. Sadly it has also been used as a tool for ...read more

    Thank You For Serving!

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022
     | 5,779 views

    Why is serving very important and what should be our motivation? The answers lie in that very powerful scene in which Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. Jesus mandated us to live by (symbolically) washing one another’s feet, (literally) serving one another.

    INTRODUCTION – The 80/20 Rule in the Church We loved to be served. - We tend to get angry when we ordered something and not served on time. - We demand to talk to the manager when we are not satisfied with the service provided to us. - We grumble when our expectation of service is not met. To be ...read more

    Again I want to remind you that God has just delivered the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. They could not deliver themselves, but God, by His marvelous grace delivered them.

    Now, as a new nation was beginning to be established, God gave these laws to them so they would know how to govern themselves. Why? Because a country cannot exist without regulations and laws.

    Don't Judge Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 5, 2022
     | 2,504 views

    God does not give human beings authority to judge the righteousness of others using our preferences as the standard. None of us are perfectly righteous ourselves. We are in no position to pronounce judgment because we can be guilty of sin.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 7:1-6 NIV (Don't Judge) 1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no ...read more

Water baptism is part of the Great Commission (Matthew 28, Mark 16, e.g.) and is mentioned in connection with belief and with becoming a disciple. It is readily admitted there are others who hold ...read more

    There are times we hear when someone is in prison for life but because of forensics they are released.

    The development of DNA testing and the ability to use the science of the body’s cells to solve crimes has made significant changes in the criminal justice field.

    If your cry of “Lord, Lord,” is a cry for help, not a boast of power, his answer is, “Come unto me.”

    I could have called this sermon Identity Theft, or Forged Documents, or Illegal Entry, or any one of a number of buzz-words regarding one of today’s hot political topics, illegal immigration.
