Dealing With Tensions And Conflicts In Churches And Church Organisations – Practical Examination And Suggestions – Part 5 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 21, 2024

Some important things here. Firstly, the church business meetings! The trouble these have caused. We look at Pastors’ and elders’ wives and behaviour. What about the leaders’ kids running around unsupervised? All dealings must be impartial. Must teach on Christian responsibility.

Ministering To The Lord

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Jun 7, 2023

How do we minister to the Lord? What does that even mean? In this message, we are going to find out together what ministering to the Lord really is and how to do that in order to remain in the presence of our God.

Our theme verse for this message is 1 John 4:19 LEB 19 We love, because he first loved us. Where Is The Lord? We live in a time where many are far from the Lord. And many say that God doesn’t answer. Where is the manifestation of the power of God? But Jesus prayed that we would be one in them ...read more

Do Not Grow Weary In Doing Good

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 15, 2024

Right in the middle of warning the ones who were being lazy and taking advantage of others, Paul tells the church that it should not discourage them from doing what was right and good.

Great Crowds Series

Contributed by Mike Lewis on Feb 1, 2023

Before Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, the people began to gather around forming Great Crowds. Why did these crowds form? What kept the crowds satisfied? What drove them away?

Sermon # 8 - Time To Wake Up Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 13, 2024

In the midst of a serious storm, Jonah was blissfully asleep unaware of the predicament of his fellow passengers caused by his disobedience. Is it possible that the church too is asleep at a time when we have to wake up to fulfill the Great Commission that Jesus gave us?

We read in Jonah 1:5, “And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.” (Darby) This is the ...read more

Sermon # 9 - Arise From Your Slumber Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 18, 2024

Just as Jonah slept through the raging storm there were others in the Bible who also slept for various reasons. Today if the church does not wake up and continues to be in slumber of any sort, we will become easy targets of the evil one.

We read in Jonah 1:5-6, And the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to ...read more

Sermon # 18 - Safe In The Shadow Of The Almighty God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 7, 2025

When fear grips our heart and in those times when we feel all alone, deserted and feel that there is no one to help us or stand by us, let’s remember that God sees and He is by our side. The life of Hagar gives us a glimpse of God’s presence in the midst of life’s hardest moments.

We read in Genesis 21:17, “God heard the boy crying, and from heaven the angel of God spoke to Hagar, "What are you troubled about, Hagar? Don't be afraid. God has heard the boy crying.”(GNB) Hagar and her son wandered through the wilderness, and when the little water she carried got ...read more

This world is overtaken by sorrow in people’s lives. Sorrow came about through the entry of sin in Eden and marks so much of human living. Jesus was the Man of Sorrows and He lived among sorrow and took our sorrows on the cross. His was a sorrowful road as we see what He did for us.
