    Good News For Mary Series

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Dec 2, 2024
     | 1,189 views

    For the next several Sundays, we will focus on the Good News of Jesus' birth and how that affected specific people as revealed in the gospels. It would appear that Luke is giving us a first hand report from Mary herself. The details are rather amazing.

    Alba 12-1-2024 GOOD NEWS FOR MARY Luke 1:26-38 I am sure that you have heard many Good New/Bad News jokes. There are many of them around. There are even some for preachers, like this one: Good News: The Women's Guild voted to send you a get-well card. Bad News: The vote passed by 9 for and ...read more

    Was John talking only about our appearance when he said, “We shall be like Him” - especially when the Bible urges us to become more & more like Jesus in the ways that we think, talk & behave?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: 1 John 3:2; 1 Corinthians 13:1-3; John 13:35 A month or so ago someone put a request into the offering box asking me to preach a sermon on the 13th ...read more

    Judas The Betrayer (Part One)

     | 4,308 views

    Whenever there's a list of the Apostles, he always appears last and his name is followed by, "the betrayer" or something similar. Let's take a look at the one who is known for betraying Jesus.

    JUDAS, THE BETRAYER (part one) One of the questions in Sunday School last week had to do with Judas and the storms he was facing. That generated some good discussion so I decided to make him the focus of the sermon today and next Sunday. Whenever there's a list of the Apostles, he always ...read more

    James applies the need for humility to our mindset about our lives and our plans. As he discusses the fact that our life is just a mist that appears for a little while then vanishes, we learn some sins to avoid and some things to do.

    Introduction: A. One day a doctor called one of his patients into his office to deliver some very important news. 1. “I have received the results of your tests and I have some bad news and some good news.” 2. The patient was quiet for a moment, sensing the gravity of the announcement, “Let me have ...read more

    The name David appears for the first time in Ruth 4:22. The name continues to the end of the book of Revelation in the Bible. David died at good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth, and honor. He was successful in all his undertakings.

    Theme: David was successful Text: 1 Samuel 18:12-16 Key verse: 1 Samuel 18:14: “in everything, he did he had great success because the Lord was with him”. Why God was with him?

    In today's world, the church appears to be busy, but is it truly fulfilling God's mission? Are we, as a church, actively 'occupying' or merely resting on past achievements while waiting for the Lord's return? This sermon explores these questions and calls for a more proactive approach to our faith.

    When we look at the modern church, we see that it is busy as a whole. But are we truly accomplishing what God has given us? Is the church actively occupying, or are we simply resting on past achievements and waiting for the Lord's return? In Luke 19:13, Jesus called his ten servants, gave them ten ...read more

     | 10,296 views

    People refused to heed the Servant of the Lord or His message & for that reason did not experience the power of His arm. For it is through heeding the message that the mighty arm of the Lord brings salvation, to believer & lost alike.

    ISAIAH 53:1-3 THE DESPISED FRIEND [JOHN 1: 10-14] Chapter 53 continues to speak of the Messiah, Jesus, who would suffer for the sins of all people. Such a prophecy is astounding! Who would believe that God would choose to save the world ...read more

    The Light Of God That Falls Upon Us

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 582 views

    The Light of God appears, falls upon individuals, and shines at events when Heaven and Earth meet. This meeting between Heaven and Earth, God and his people, happens more often than we think. The Light falls upon us and bathes us even though we may not see it unless we are in direct union with God.

    The church tradition tells us that Jesus's transfiguration took place on Mount Tabor. The mountain rises like a sugarloaf in a vast plain in the middle of Galilee. The mountain is exceedingly high and beautiful and was anciently covered with green trees and shrubs. Therewith Jesus was Peter ...read more
