Covenant 08

Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Jan 6, 2008

We often get carried away thinking everything is all about us & our own personal Jesus, but the Holy Spirit wants us to understand that we do not exist in isolation. Just as when we get to heaven we will be part of a huge family, there is a corporate side

Promises are made to be broken. That’s what it seems like in the world isn’t it? It’s what seems to be going on in scripture too. A Covenant is of course just a promise, like in the covenant of marriage, & it can be between human beings alone or God & human beings. A very important part of a ...read more

The Joy Of Reconciliation

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 20, 2017

As Joseph reconnects with his brothers, he models for us three steps toward reconciliation: 1) Turn away from revenge. 2) Test for repentance. And 3) Trust in God's sovereignty. Judah's sacrifice reminds us of our Savior Jesus who reconciled us to God.

Genesis 45:1-15 The Joy of Reconciliation We are covering the amazing story of the Old Testament character of Joseph in two Sundays. The actual story covers 14 chapters of Genesis. I urge you to read it on your own. It is a fascinating account of the worst kind of betrayal and the most amazing ...read more

Why Do We Eat And Drink His Blood? Does It Really Empower Us?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 28, 2016

Take eat and drink of my body. That is a command our Lord Jesus made. There is no getting away from it, but should we do this. Why is it relevant, and where does the power emanate? Do we need to know? Can we wriggle out of it, with consequences?

This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s, Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 16th August 2012; St Oswald’s is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. The readings for today are: 1 Kings 2:10-12; 3:3-14 Ephesians 5:15-20 John 6:51-58 Prayer: "In the ...read more

St Peter And Hans Christian Andersen

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Jan 31, 2017

The first letter of Peter takes your breath away as he relates to the wonderful gift God has given us in His Son that we are children of God and inheritors of the kingdom of heaven. Andersen relates how God in Christ gives us a totally new view on life.

St Peter and Hans Christian Andersen 1 Peter 1:3-12 There are few passages in the NT where more of the great fundamental Christian ideas come together than in this passage of St Peter. It begins with a doxology to God--but a doxology with a difference. For a Jew the commonest of all beginnings to ...read more

Waiting And Ready For Heaven Series

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Dec 30, 2019

The dreaded waiting room - filled with anticipation and uncertainty. What if you could take away that uncertainty - knowing what the outcome was going to be? Great! That's what God does as we wait for heaven. He reveals the outcome and it's glorious!

Do you enjoy the waiting room? I’ve had a lot of experience in waiting rooms throughout the years. As nice and comfortable as hospitals and doctors’ offices attempt to make them, I don’t know of anyone who really looks forward to sitting in a waiting room. It is always a place filled with ...read more

How To Become A Giant Slayer

Contributed by John Daniel Johnson on Oct 1, 2018

At some time in every one of our lives, we will have to face a giant. That giant maybe a sin, possibly a challenge, or it might be just a giant step of faith. No matter what that giant is, it will not just go away just because you won’t face it.

Scripture Reference: First Samuel 17:3-11 & 45-47 Preached at Mount Zion Baptist Church on September 2, 2018 Delivered by Rev. John Daniel Johnson (www.mountzionfamily.com) Are you a giant slayer?

The Advice That Can Divert You From God’s Will

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 23, 2018

Looking at those who shouted at Christ while He was on the cross, this sermon explores how their demands would have led Christ directly away from doing God's will. How often does the advice the world gives us every day do the same thing?

ADVICE FROM THE CROWD: “Good advice” from the world can divert you from God’s will for your life. - Mark 15:29-32. - While Jesus is on the cross, the crowd throws several suggestions His way. When you dig into them a little, it’s interesting to see how deeply counterproductive they are. There ...read more

The Need For Hard Teachings Series

Contributed by Scott Burr on Nov 19, 2012

Jesus, Himself, did not shy away from teaching hard truths. He was never worried that the crowds would quit coming if He preached truths that were hard to accept. Rather He used those teachings to qualify those who called themselves His disciples.

“On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?” Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! The Spirit gives life; the ...read more

The Things That Are Above

Contributed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Aug 2, 2012

Out of grace and mercy and great kindness, God gathers our burning, blazing life; he glorifies it for the sake of Jesus Christ; he builds it up new and good in that hidden world where the line of death that separates us from God has been taken away.

(Read Colossians 3:1-4.) Dear congregation, it is as if our whole life were carried, raised up, and protected in these words. Say what you will against this “Seek the things that are above.” You may suspect that those who are constantly seeking things above may lose contact with the ground under ...read more

Will You Wait On God? Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 22, 2012

Faith is tested when we must wait and continue to trust God even when the answer seems far away, or when our problems seem too great. Abraham's lack of an heir, and God's promise to work a miracle for Abraham provide a powerful example for us of waiting

Sermon Notes April 22, 2012 FBCam Will You Wait on God? Genesis 17 We often equate FAITH with DECISIONS. Sometimes FAITH is about WAITING. Romans 4:9-12 describes Abraham as the “Father of our Faith.” When we consider Abraham’s faith, we normally consider his faith in ...read more

The Night Before (Devotion)

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Mar 14, 2013

Jesus came from the Upper Room where He and His disciples had just eaten the meal known as the Last Supper. They walk it many times, close to a mile away….across the Kidron valley up a hill to a place called Garden of Gethsemane or Mt of Olives. It was an

The Night Before (devotion) A few years ago I was helping do a revival and heard a sermon from a friend of mine who read these verses.

Guilty But Pardoned Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

I cannot give away what I do not have, and so we must first be forgiven in order to forgive. We must believe in God's free grace of forgiveness before we can be free to forgive those who sin against us.

If God did not pardon the guilty there would be no Gospel, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Even so, we feel there is a danger in being too merciful. Abraham Lincoln was accused of this during the Civil War when he seemed willing to pardon just about anyone. He would defend ...read more

Your Need For Worship

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 18, 2021

Worship is a big deal: Cain killed his brother, Abel. Moses asked Pharaoh for some time to away in the wilderness to worship. Ancient Jewish families would bring animals to Jerusalem for the purpose of worship. And Jesus turned over the tables in the Temple because they were ruining worship.

Your worship is a big deal to you personally. Worship is a big deal down throughout history. Think about the importance of worship down through the ages: Cain killed his brother, Abel, over worship in Genesis 4. Moses asked Pharaoh for some time to away in the wilderness so the children of Israel ...read more
