They May Have Taken An Earlier Train.... Series

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Oct 31, 2020

"The Spirit speaks - especially through Scripture, but ALSO THROUGH HISTORY and the heart" - a sermon for All Saints Day

Past, Present and Future. Sometimes Christianity can have a reputation for being “stuck in the past” - “out of touch with today’s world” - which at first sounds a bit weird because people get very excited by the past. At the high brow end of the market we have “Wolf Hall” and “Bringing up the ...read more

The Danger Of Chronic Complaining Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Feb 20, 2024

Make no mistake, murmuring is sin. "Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world" (Phil. 2:14-15).

I want to write about a man who always complains and murmurs at all times. He is never satisfied with anything and always finds fault in every situation. He complains about his life, his job, his family, and even his church. He is like the Israelites in the wilderness, always grumbling and ...read more

The Servant Leader

Contributed by Ian Johnson on Dec 9, 2006

In the Discipline of service there is also great liberty. Service allows us to say ’no!’ to the world’s games of promotion and authority. It abolishes our need and desire for a ’pecking order’

In 2006 success is measured by the size of our great wealth, the popularity of our ministry, the size of our Church, In this we seem to miss the mark of being a true servant leader in the kingdom of God.. Our example in all things is the Lord Jesus himself The servant is not greater than his ...read more

Work Out Your Salvation With Fear & Trembling!

Fear & Trembling? Why would Paul say such a thing? Because the stakes are so high, because Christianity is not a game or a bedtime story! Because there is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun!

This the second sermon in a series based on The Book of Proverbs. Based on the TV game show "Let's Make a Deal," in which contestants struggle with the desire of their hearts -- to win "big" prizes or money, the choices we reveal the desires of our heart.
