In His Presence

The New Covenant Gospel Preacher

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 12, 2005

This message begins by considering how Paul dealt with the tension between evangelism (Reaching the lost)and pastoral care (looking after those who are now saved)and how we might apply it to ourselves, plus an application of this long Bible passage.

2 Corinthians 2: 12 to end of Chapter 3 Introduction: In this letter to the church in Corinth Paul began by greeting the church, and by praying that Jesus would be kind to them and bless them with peace.

A Super Man

Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Jun 16, 2013

The Waters Of Maribah Series

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Aug 12, 2008

I have been building a deck in my backyard this summer, right now I am placing the finishing touches on it. Before I built my deck, I looked through different deck plans, and compared the different kinds of deck materials and figured out pretty much what I needed.

Luke 19:36-44 ‘Three Processions to Remember’ The words we hear from Luke’s Gospel this morning describe the atmosphere of a great procession, people lining the way from the Mount of Olives all the way to Jerusalem.

Glory Of The Believers Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Oct 15, 2022

The Church has lost primary focus on Missions and Evangelism, fellowship rather involved accusing one another on the basis of food, clothes, and a few habits pertaining to various cultural identities, causing many to stumble in their faith walk and lose their commitment to Christ and to the Church.

Romans 14:17-23 Glory of the believers Nature of the Kingdom of God Paul points out to his readers and listeners that the Kingdom of God is not related to food habits and approved drinks. The Kingdom of God is spiritual, apolitical, and beyond food and drinks. Discussion of Foods and their habits ...read more

Obey God, Or Accept The Consequences

Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 10, 2015

We can’t let fear or ignorance keep us from giving the lost people a message that can change their eternal destiny. The apostle Paul was not ashamed of the Gospel because through it God’s power is released to save humanity.

Have you ever had a difficult time accepting God’s word? That’s only natural. Sometimes it’s hard for us to accept God’s word because of our self-centered nature. Man has always believed that everything revolves around him, and to be told that this is not true causes ...read more

Fifty Shades Of Grace Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Oct 1, 2015

Selfishness colors everything around us until common sense and decency gets lost, having been painted over with these shades of gray. This same selfish spirit was working in the hearts of men in Jesus’ day. And that is what our passage is about today.

Fifty Shades of Grace -Love belongs to God! It not only belongs to Him, it is Him and He is it! God is love! So if anyone has anything to say about love, it would be God Himself. Out of love God created mankind, each one of us fearfully and wonderfully made. He made us in His own image with the ...read more

Disobedience Positions People For Replacement

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 5, 2025

Disobedience is not just a mistake—it is a doorway to replacement. Saul had all the advantages: the anointing, the title, the people. But he lost it all because he put personal opinion above divine command. God does not bless stubbornness; He honours submission.

Jesus And Santa

Contributed by Jacob Brimm on Apr 21, 2021

What do Jesus and Santa have in common? Nothing? Perhaps more than you think, just not how you think! The true story of a man who got a name, though he personally would rather all credit go to The Son!

While we know very little about the man who likely bore the name, the most likely person was the Bishop of Myra, near modern Finike, Turkey, in the 300s. Nicholas' parents died when he was just a teenager. His parents left him a lot of money which made him a rich young man. He went to live ...read more

Easter 2020

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Apr 9, 2020

An Easter sermon, what a year 2020 has been, a new appointment for us in Fiji. For the world a time of trial as it responds to COVID 19. We are in lockdown, but in Christ, there is so much to celebrate and be grateful for. Because of him we are no longer lost! He's alive.

Easter what a wonderful time to recall the love of God shown to us through Jesus Christ.
