    Part 14 - Matthew 10:18-19 - Grasshopper, Expect The Unexpected! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 21, 2010

    I remember as a kid watching the TV series called "KUNG FU" staring David Caradine. The blind Master Po (Keye Luke) calls his young student "GRASSHOPPER" to "EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED". We are not grasshoppers but we are called to BEWARE.

    Part 14 - Matthew 10:18-19 - GRASSHOPPER, EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! A friend of mine works as a boilermaker in Bowen, Queensland Australia. He is a big man with muscles like an Olympic weight lifter, a voice that booms and a laugh that is full and infectious. PATRICK PATTERSON loves the Lord and if ...read more

    This sermon addresses the sources of opposition to the work of God.

    Friends, Foes & Family Text: Mark 3:20-35 Introduction: Writing to the Corinthians the apostle Paul once commented, “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.” Isn’t that the truth? Last Sunday we saw how Jesus ministry was increasing in ...read more

    "Well he started it!" "No I didn't, she did!" Sorry, I am just reminded of my childhood days when the arguments got too heated with my sister. But this is a slightly bigger battle. John started it and the repercussions of his actions have been ongoing.

    Part 4 - Matthew 11:12 - WELL HE STARTED IT! Since I had nothing better to do and everyone had gone out, I decided to watch the war movie "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN". It was some years ago now and I was at my daughter's house and Joel, my son-in-law had just connected his TV WITH SURROUND SOUND. The ...read more

    What shall we do as we await the return of Our Lord Jesus Christ?

    33rd Sunday in Course 2015 End and Beginning The Book of Daniel and St. Mark’s Gospel have one important thing in common: they were both written in times of persecution of the faith. Daniel was published–probably through a kind of underground press–in the persecution of ...read more

    Is your light under a bushel?

    We are in a time when nearly every day the headlines talk about someone coming out of the closet about their sexual identity or about some skeleton coming out of the closet. Things that were hidden for years are open for all to see and hear. Some of those things should have stayed hidden. People ...read more

    Never underestimate the power of true love.

    1 Peter 1:22-25 Introduction As we have seen, Peter is concerned how the believers should conduct their lives in a world that was becoming increasingly hostile to Christians.

    In the 12th chapter of Acts we see the deliverance of Peter from the hand of Herod. It is an amazing deliverance. James is executed and Peter delivered. Both were ready to die. Shouldn't we be as well?

    Acts 12:1-19 (As people look up this Scripture briefly explain the first phrase in the first verse ...) The first verse says, “It was about this time …” The events leading up to Chapter 12 Stephen is martyred Great persecution breaks out Believers are scattered ...read more

    Endure For The Gospel

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on May 27, 2022
     | 2,061 views

    Using Jeremiah's struggle "not to quit" during a period of frustration, persecution, and exhaustion, we can learn to stand firm in adversity and allow God to empower us to keep living out and proclaiming the Gospel.

    WHEN IT COMES TO OUR FAITH AND ESPECIALLY MINISTERING IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, IT STILL CAN MAKE US CRINGE, IF NOT BRISTLE INSIDE, WHEN WE HEAR OTHERS DEMAND THAT WE BE MORE TOLERANT, SENSITIVE, PROGRESSIVE AND INCLUSIVE. THE WORLD IS NO DIFFERENT TODAY THAN IT HAS BEEN FOR PAST SOCIETIES, ...read more

    Ladies, if your Boaz never shows up it is OK to be single. Guys, if your Ruth never shows up it is OK.

    This is primarily for the ladies, but much also applies to the men. Many young people are worried about the dating scene and marriage seems unattainable as they age. Some have said that if you are not married by forty, it is unlikely you will and for the ladies it means they will not have ...read more

    trials and difficulties can be opportunities for growth in our faith. As we endure them, we become more like Christ and grow closer to God. So, let us consider it all joy and trust in God's strength as we face the trials in our lives. May the Lord bless you and keep you

    I want to look at James 1 verses 2-4 which says: "Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in ...read more

    Be careful how you answer!

    Mar 14:29  But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.  Most Christians would say something like Peter.
