    Why The Gospel Is Greater Than Miracles

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 22, 2025
     | 329 views

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is amazing for a number of reasons. One reason that we will look at today is that Jesus makes a clear statement that what will bring people to Christ is not great miracles, but simply God's Word shared with them.

    Why the Gospel is Greater than Miracles Good Morning. Our lesson this morning, Jesus’ Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, comes in response to the Pharisees having come once again to argue with Jesus. That’s a big point to the parable, the whole idea that we so much want to try to justify ...read more

    Message 13 - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5:19-20 – Do Not Quench The Holy Spirit; And Use Your Gift Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 1, 2023
     | 2,242 views

    Paul commands the Thessalonians not to quench the Spirit. We will consider that and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and the use of gifts given to every believer. Biblical prophecies are not to be despised through neglect or misappropriation. Victory in storms.

    MESSAGE 13 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:19-20 – DO NOT QUENCH THE HOLY SPIRIT; AND USE YOUR GIFT {{1Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit. 1Thess 5:20 Do not despise prophetic utterances.”}} Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. (KJV) Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise ...read more

    We struggle to stay afloat but God said: trust in My salvation!

    Sometimes we tell little white lies, but it is sin and it is big deal to God. it could cost your eternal life in a heartbeat and many think its ok according to the Bible but look again?Scripture reading: 1 Pet 2:11 11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts ...read more

    That Sinner!

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on May 22, 2014
     | 3,619 views

    A sermonette (I will use this at rest home services) about a bloke who had it so right with God it really make things quite messy in his relationships with his fellow man. Hey I'm just pleased I'm not like him. ;)

    Jesus had a subtle and sometimes not so subtle way of getting through to people. I like how he delivers a message to a group of people who thought they had it bang on right with God, to a group of people who were confident that they had it right with God. Jesus tells them a story that actually cuts ...read more

    A sermon on unanswered prayer, and a great visual illustration involving a cement block that goes along with the message

    Don't Faint (Props needed for illustration: 8x8x16 cement block, hammer) Lu 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; (KJV) Today I want to talk to you about fainting.

    The Neighbourly Kindness Of The Hated Samaritan

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 6, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,577 views

    Jesus sees us in our plight, naked and left for dead by the ravishes of sin in our lives. He picks us up, binds us, anoints us, and takes us to a place of safety.

    THE NEIGHBOURLY KINDNESS OF THE HATED SAMARITAN. Luke 10:25-37. This well-known parable is best understood within the framework of the question-and-answer narrative between “a certain lawyer” (an expert in the Scripture), and Jesus (Luke 10:25). The motives of the would-be student may well be ...read more

    Some thoughts on a challenging text.

    THE UNJUST STEWARD. Luke 16:1-9. For centuries interpreters have been more than a little puzzled, perplexed and disturbed by the parable of the unjust steward, at the beginning of Luke 16. The Emperor Julian, otherwise known as Julian the Apostate, even tried to use this parable to show that ...read more

    Mustard Seed Faith

    based on 14 ratings
     | 10,238 views

    Faith is a great force, a power to be reckoned with.

    MUSTARD SEED FAITH. Luke 17:5-10. “Lord, increase our faith” (Luke 17:5). In Luke’s Gospel, this request arises out of one of the hard sayings of Jesus. For flesh and blood to ‘keep on forgiving seven times a day’ (Luke 17:4) seemed quite impossible to the disciples! Jesus’ answer is not to ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 4,392 views

    A parable helps illustrate how we’ve been separated from God by not delighting in him. Our unfaithfulness leaves us estranged, but by his sovereign choice he has made a way to reconcile us to himself through Jesus Christ.

    The 3rd Product of Unfaithfulness: Estrangement Hosea 1:7-8; Romans 9:1-29 Pastor Jim Luthy Imagine a large ship sailing across uncharted waters in the vast Pacific Ocean.

    Minding God's Business

    based on 11 ratings
     | 8,376 views

    We are called to go about the business given to us by God and while we may be challenged by the parable of the sheep and goats we should not be fearful, having faith that as we love our Lord, he even more deeply loves us.

    Going about God’s Business "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. {32}All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, {33}and he ...read more

    The goal of time management according to Jesus and His parables is to use your time wisely and not waste it on the wrong thing. We need to be focused on the Kingdom of Heaven/The Kingdom of God. We need to build on its foundation the rock which is Jesus.

    Jesus tells of 3 servants who were given valuable "talents". Why was the Master in this parable pleased with the first two servants, but angry with the 3rd? And how did the "value" of those talents effect the decisions of each of those three men?
