Sermons on Nothingness:

Encourage One Another

Contributed by Terry Cavanaugh on Feb 7, 2009

This message is about the Christians hope in the face of death.

This morning we turn our attention to a subject that has confused and divided more churches and Christians over the century then perhaps any other. Today we are going to look at the second coming of Christ. As a child, our death and the second coming of Christ, it seems to me was used to “Scare ...read more

Christ Lives In Me

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 20, 2018

The type of person we see in Jesus or indeed what Jesus means to us is very variable, unique and very personal - Jesus, not just a Leader, Teacher, Physician, not even as Saviour, but John describes Jesus as food. I AM the bread of life.

CHRIST LIVES IN ME. JOHN 6:51-58. Jesus said, ‘I AM the Bread of Life’ and this saying of Jesus has profound implications for a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ. In fact the type of person we see in Jesus or indeed what Jesus means to us is very variable, unique and very personal All of ...read more

Are we true witnesses to the true faith?

The Persuading Witness of Jesus 1 John 5:6-13 John in His gospel says that he wrote it to persuade people that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you might have life in His name (John 20:31).

The Week That Changed The World: The Day Jesus Silenced The Skeptics Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 3, 2021

Shortly after throwing the Pharisees and their cohorts for a loop over the issue of paying taxes to Caesar, the Lord Jesus confronted and rebuked the erroneous Scriptural teachings of the Sadducees, the skeptics of His day. The Scriptures are the best weapon in the arsenal of believers.

There were two main bodies of religious teachers who operated during the time of Jesus until the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. They each had their respective spheres of influence in Jewish society and beliefs. Scripture gives more attention to the Pharisees, and not in a good light as they ...read more

Creator Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Oct 3, 2012

My hope in this series is that we can come to a good understanding of who the God of the Bible is so that we can share this truth with others, and help those who doubt or wonder. But here’s what we can’t do. We can’t just tell people this is who God is b

Billions of people in our world are asking, is there a God, and if so who is he or what is he. Is there one or are there many? If you have grown up in the church, you probably haven’t been exposed to these questions very often, probably never had to wrestle with the thoughts, but the majority ...read more
