    What is your purpose in life? Is it the same for every believer. Join Pastor Steve as he examines the evangelism ministry of the Thessalonian church.

    INTRODUCTION Today we are looking at 1 Thessalonians 1, verses 8-10 in what I believe to be the purpose of every believer in Jesus Christ. Many times Christians fumble around misunderstanding their purpose but as we will see in this text — we have one purpose. Some Christians believe that our ...read more

  • The Prophet Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 8, 2009
     | 6,165 views

    There are prophets in every age speaking for God. In our age Pope Benedict has called us to look at Charity in Truth, and consider our responsibilities to the world economically.

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course The Prophet July 12, 2009 All over the temperate zone, fruit from the varieties of fig and sycamore are ripening now, and so the Church gives us a reading from the migrant worker, Amos, the reluctant prophet. I call him a migrant worker because he engaged in seasonal ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,201 views

    People are Important to God

    Two Prejudices – Luke 14.1-14 Prejudice of any kind is hard to deal with, let alone live with so, seen from that perspective, the story of the Great Banquet might prove something of a challenge for some. To be sure, there’s nothing in it to indicate racial prejudice but it’s ...read more

  • Our Baptismal Mission: Goodness, Beauty, Truth

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 7, 2010
     | 2,752 views

    If we are to minister to a world in need, we must give it what Jesus gave: goodness, beauty and truth

    The Baptism of the Lord January 10 2010 The first thing we should do today is correct a Hollywood-produced misconception about John’s baptism. Many of us grew up watching one or the other movie in which Jesus was baptized, or a large group of Protestant Christians were baptized in a river, ...read more

     | 3,211 views

    In Baptism, we become, like Jesus, prophets, priests and leaders for our world.

    Feast of the Lord’s Baptism January 11, 2009 “Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan.” Why? Was Jesus a sinner? And what does this event, which we celebrate every year, mean to you and me the other 364 days of this year? To better understand the meaning of Jesus’s baptism, we need to ...read more

  • Experiencing Epiphany

    Contributed by Michael B. Perrott on Jan 1, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,614 views

    A sermon for the Sunday of Epiphany, encouraging us to develop in ourselves the capacity to experience our own epiphanies of faith

    Matthew 2:1-12 Experiencing Epiphany It isn’t very often that, here in (this part of) the UK, we get a ‘White Christmas’. In fact, last year (2008) we had a White Easter! But the last time I remember that we had ‘significant’ snowfall was at this time in 2004 – even then it missed Christmas ...read more

    Like the lost sheep we must be the shepherd and bring those who have fallen away back to Christ.

  • Why The Wilderness

    Contributed by John A. Peck on Nov 3, 2009
    based on 16 ratings
     | 8,319 views

    Often the wilderness is a dangerous place, frought with danger, anxiety, vulnerability. Out there, we are usually the prey or the victim, but it is also the place where we encounter God.

    Why are we meeting God in the wilderness (where else?) We are, generally speaking, city dwellers. We live in cities, towns and villages, but for the most part we stay out of the wilderness unless there is something there for us. But in the Bible, a lot of important things happen in the ...read more

  • Sixteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A; 16th Sunday , Year A-- Weeds And Wheat

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 21, 2020
     | 4,419 views

    This parable doesn’t mean that we tolerate all sorts of bad behavior. Jesus doesn’t condone weed (pun intended).

    If we ask, "why is there evil in the world?" we must also ask "why is there good in the world?" We get our answers this Sunday: Beginning with pre-history “while everybody was asleep” (Matthew 13:24-30), the weeds represent the enemies of God, who are: Satan, demons, and humans ...read more

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 1, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,146 views

    A perspective on Mark 5: 21-43. If we are serious about restoring our own life and the life of this congregation then we need to hear the reports about Jesus healing others.

    Mark 5: 21-43 The Crowd That Didn’t Follow Jesus There are three miracles in today’s Gospel text. Can you name them? 1. The woman with the issue of blood healed. 2. Jairus’ daughter raised. 3. And perhaps, “The crowd that did not follow Jesus.” Can you imagine the ...read more
