    What Shall I Do With Jesus? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 3, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 24,374 views

    The preacher, the Christian and the outsider all must answer the same question--What Shall I Do With Jesus? Each of us must answer; we cannot evade. For salvation and for service, our answer reveals who we are.

    “What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ” [1] Almost every message I have heard from this text was directed to lost people. That is certainly appropriate. However, in our study today, I want to consider how this question applies not only to the lost, but also to each of us who bear the ...read more

    Selling Herself Cheaply Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 4, 2021
     | 4,810 views

    God makes room for all, even for those women we routinely dismiss because of a soiled past. If God accepts Rahab the prostitute, He will accept me if I look to Him in faith.

    “Joshua the son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, ‘Go, view the land, especially Jericho.’ And they went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab and lodged there. And it was told to the king of Jericho, ‘Behold, men of Israel have come here tonight ...read more

    Christian service requires stamina to stay the course despite opposition.

    “You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. Indeed, all who ...read more

    A review and application of the ministry of Amos, known to standing with God and against religion.

    “Amaziah said to Amos, ‘O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there, but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.’ “Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, ‘I was no prophet, nor a prophet’s son, but I ...read more

    The Tyranny Of Tradition

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 22, 2022
     | 2,370 views

    We must realise that we are susceptible to transforming the Faith through the introduction of our best efforts to make the Faith more meaningful.

    “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” [1] Traditions are essential to civilisation. Societies are built around traditions which most of those living ...read more

Greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in Asia. ...read more

    The responsibility of the pulpit to promote godliness in the Community of Faith is explored

    “If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.” [1] Godliness looms large in the thinking of the Apostle. The term “godliness” occurs fifteen ...read more

    Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,915 views

    While we would never encourage a church to be "woke," there is a biblical expectation that we will practise Scriptural diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as demonstrated by Jesus.

    “[Jesus] came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, ‘The Spirit of the Lord ...read more

    Whatever Happened To Modest Dress?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 5, 2025
     | 920 views

    Teaching our daughters to be godly will require modelling righteous lives as well as providing sound instruction from the pulpit and in the home.

    “Women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.” [1] There are certain clothes Christian women should never wear in public. ...read more

     | 578 views

    Jesus is our example of how to face opposition and temptation.

    “After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him. Now the Jews’ Feast of Booths was at hand. So his brothers said to him, ‘Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. For no one works in ...read more

    Disappointing Disciples Series

    based on 60 ratings
     | 8,055 views

    Jesus had to deal with disappointing disciples. So do we. How do we deal with them? By applying the new Law of Love.

    John 13 begins with the wonderful statement: ’Having loved his own who were in the world, [Jesus] now showed them the full extent of his love.’ It’s a picture of an intimate relationship with his disciples, like that of a loving parent who will do anything for their children. Yet even as he’s ...read more

    Money is perhaps the most powerful tool, other than our tongue, that God has given to us to use for furthering His mission here on earth.

    George or Jesus? Money – one of our greatest treasures. We can’t do with it and we can’t do without it. Money affects all sorts of things:It affects relations between countries for example: “A visiting American textile-buyer told a long but amusing story at a luncheon in Seoul, South ...read more

    For World Communion Sunday: God restrains us from destructive behavior; but even if we ignore that, His hand continues to hold us back.

    You may have noticed that I am a creature of habits. I do what I do according to the clock and by the book. If it is time for staff meeting, I will be here, seldom early, sometimes late because of traffic, but I will be here. It’s on the calendar, so I do it. I am a creature of habits. If it ...read more
