The Rejection Of Jesus And His Sermon By His Own People.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 31, 2016

Jesus delivered a sermon to his own people. They did not like it. Why? This sermon affects us, and shows us that we are God’s voice here on this earth to spread his Gospel.

This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 31st January 2016; St Oswalds is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. Jeremiah 1:4-10 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 Luke 4:21-30 Psalm 71:1-6 “Please be seated, and join me in a ...read more

Discovering God's Will Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jan 10, 2015

Paul shows us how to use biblical wisdom to discover the will of God through: 1) Understanding (Ephesians 5:15), 2) Occasion (Ephesians 5:16), 3) Action (Ephesians 5:17)

Most of us acknowledge that God has a plan for the life of every believer, but often we have trouble in finding just which way this plan goes at a particular juncture, where the answers sometimes seem to elude even the most persistent searcher. Some apparently think that God’s will is lost. ...read more

Is Jesus Enough?

Contributed by Ken Pell on Nov 21, 2013

I use a series of movements to weave the story of Charles Colson's conversion into the story of the crowd following Jesus looking for that which lasts. I seek to show how the "Bread of Life" is the solution for the longings of humankind.

I Will Build My Church

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 12, 2013

There are many misconceptions about what Jesus' universal church is. Is it a denomination? Is it all churches combined into one? Is it the clergy? This sermon deals with many of these misconceptions and shows what God reveals about His church.

In the context of Matthew 16, we see what many people think about Jesus. It is interesting that so many people saw His miracles and signs, and had such contrasting responses. This seems to be the main point of this section we will look at today. Many saw the miracles and signs (the Sadducees and ...read more

Ascension 2016

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 4, 2016

The description of the ascension of Jesus to heaven is an interesting one. It shows us how consumed we may be with the world and its values instead of being consumed with the Kingdom of God and the mission which Jesus gave to us.

This coming Thursday is the day that some churches celebrate as Ascension Day because we know that Jesus appeared among His disciples for forty days after His resurrection and then He ascended into heaven. Normally we would celebrate the ascension of Jesus into heaven on the Sunday after ...read more

Prepare To Meet Your God

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

The book of Amos shows some "bovine behavior" demonstrated in the nation of Israel – a nation that had stubbornly strayed from the Lord – and if the people failed to repent, they would be led away as cattle to the slaughter.

I want to begin this morning by saying that the Bible has a lot to tell us about the personality of sheep in comparison to people. Two good examples are Psalm 23 and Isaiah 53:6, which says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way.” Sheep are portrayed as ...read more
