A sermon challenging Christian to honestly examine the foundation of their faith.

There’s a big difference between ...read more

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Jan 29, 2013

An interactive sermon on the theme of Christian giving

Christians give very generously to their churches - certainly to our church and probably to your church too. But even so, the topic of giving is a difficult and sensitive one to talk about. To help people gain ownership I decided to try a two part sermon, the two parts being a month apart. At the ...read more

Your World - Own It! Series

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on May 10, 2020

The garden was given to man as a ‘rectangle of control’; a world in which were rules, guidelines, and established systems. Man was placed there to ‘dress it’ and care for it. Man was given full and direct charge over that garden and EVERYTHING in it.

To own something is to acknowledge it as belonging to one’s self; recognized as having full claim, authority, power, dominion… even to have or hold as one’s own; to possess. Now… how one came about the ownership does not change the ownership, itself. Don’t let the two intertwine, for now. The ...read more

Mind Your Own Business!

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 11, 2020

If we decide to get involved in another person's business, chances are we will be told to mind our own business. In some cases we should do that but there are other situations when it's appropriate to not mind our own business.

"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" A few weeks ago, I did a sermon on opinions. My first point was about people who are opinionated. I talked about those who interject themselves into conversations they weren't invited in to offer their unsolicited opinion. When we do things like that, people ...read more

Doing Your Own Thing Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

He told Cronin that he might make a general practitioner, but he was hopeless as a surgeon, and Cronin believed him. Completing his medical training, he went to a remote village in ...read more
