The Danger Of The Familiar Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Mar 28, 2010

Often our faith becomes stale. We can get so accustomed to things as they are and we become comfortable with our faith and in doing se we get stuck. This message challenges us to look at faith issues through fresh eyes.

“The Danger of the Familiar” Matthew 21:1-11 In the Episcopal church and also in the Catholic church they use phrases in the service that become very familiar to the congregation because they use these phrases over and over. In addition they also chant or sing the words. As a young ...read more

Easter: Jesus The King - Fully Prepared To Fail (In The Eyes Of The World)

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Mar 29, 2010

Prepared for Palm Sunday 2010 but also focusing on the Cross and beyond, this sermon affirms the fulfilment of prophecy on ’Palm’ Sunday and suggests that Jesus was fully prepared to fail in the eyes of the world, as he knew God would ultimately vindicate

About six years ago a friend of mine said, “The trouble with being a leader today is that you can’t be sure whether people are following you or chasing you.” Jesus was in his early 30’s and he was heading towards Jerusalem (19:28). Three years of ministry had catapulted Jesus into the limelight. ...read more

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Apr 1, 2010

So, the question is raised in vs 22, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!” Crucifying the anointing! I wonder how many times we have crucified the anointing by doing our own thing?

It’s Dark, What Shall You Do? Matthew 27:21-22 (Show Slides of the Passion of the Christ while preaching) 21 The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!” 22 Pilate said to them, ...read more

Hell

Contributed by Joel Smith on Apr 16, 2011

Hell is the eternal, conscious, tormenting state of existence of those separated from God.

Jesus Walks Towards Death So We Can Live Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Mar 27, 2013

Jesus was a revolutionary who everyone was talking about prior to the feast of Passover.

I’ve been reading and re-reading the Palm Sunday story this week, not so much for the story itself because that is familiar to all of us – Jesus comes to Jerusalem for Passover, He sends His disciples off to steal a donkey (it’s ok – I’m sure they took it back when ...read more

Love On The March

Contributed by Doug Silvers on Mar 24, 2015

In the story of the Palm Sunday, Jesus was unafraid to march into the lion's den and willfully take what the world would give him. Jesus' humility and selfless act is masked on this day. We see Palm fronds and sing "Hallelujahs", but Jesus saw us.

Love on the March Mathew 21: 1-11 & Isaiah 50:4-9 In a military setting, marching is done for a variety of reasons. It can be to get all of a platoon or squad from one place to another, Or, marching can be a way to show mastery of skill. It was in boot camp where we practiced the entire time ...read more
