    The Rock is Jesus.

    WALKING THE NARROW WAY. BUILDING ON THE ROCK. Matthew 7:13-29. MATTHEW 7:13-14. Jesus describes the two ways: the broad way which leads to destruction, and the narrow way that leads to life.

    Why Christ Is Insulted And Mohammed Is Honoured

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 25, 2014
     | 4,731 views

    A religion without a saviour that has suffered cannot endure insults to win those who mock. A religion that cannot bear insults must bear the impossible load of upholding the honour of one who did not give his life for others.

    “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them ...read more

    Jesus longs to be present as the center of our gatherings, just as he promised, to be light and to give life.

    The Real Small Group Leader Pastor Jim Luthy Last week, I mentioned the optimum group size was probably between 2-12 people. That being said, I’m sure any of you who have worked with a group of others would agree there are times when it seems the optimum group size is one. Working with others ...read more

    A Farewell Homily

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 8, 2013
     | 6,299 views

    Always remember that the task of the Church is to attract non-believers to Jesus Christ in the Church.

    Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 2013 “farewell” In the pre-Christian world, there was an inchoate understanding of human life after earthly death. The Hebrew’s picture of human existence in the nether world was one of gloom, shadow, even an inability to praise God. I think that the young man ...read more

     | 12,380 views

    Our condition in our Church and our country is so far gone, that only heartfelt, deep, corporate Church repentance could mediate to some degree our impending punishment.

    Stand in the Gap! "I have searched among them for someone who could build a wall or stand in the gap before me to keep me from destroying the land; but I found no one.Therefore I have poured out my fury upon them; with my fiery wrath I have consumed them; I have brought down their conduct upon ...read more

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jul 14, 2015
     | 3,243 views

    Rome-Babylon has been with us for many centuries now. From giddy power over empires to its present place of "holding on", Babylon promises to be with us until her program is fulfilled (Revelation 18).

    The "Golden Age" of the Papacy. c. 1000 A.D. As the new millennium dawns over Europe and the world, Rome tightens its grip. It seems every Pope is trying to outdo the last in wickedness and power plays. Benedict VIII buys the office of Pope in 1012, as does his successor in 1024. The latter Pope ...read more

    How do we react to others - are we quick to judge on appearance, and can we learn to be hearers and doers of the word?

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. It was a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, the congregation had just settled into their service and had begun to sing the first hymn, when their attention was disturbed by a young man who was aimlessly wandering down the aisle.

    I’ve decided to speak this morning on one of the most unnerving and threatening pieces of Scripture I’ve ever come across - threatening and unnerving at least for professional clerics like myself (people who get paid to teach the Bible).
