    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Sep 21, 2021
     | 1,599 views

    Even as Jesus suffered offense at the hands of others, every Christian shall likewise suffer. How we respond to this offense is important.

    Don't Offend MY Children, or Else! Mark 9:38-50 It is a bit odd that this week’s gospel text from the lectionary begins with John’s response to what Jesus had just said. It is poor practice to start in the middle of a paragraph. Before we can analyze this text, we need to ask: “What was John ...read more

    Nick at Night This passage is one of the most familiar in scripture. You see John 3:16 advertised on road signs and sporting events.

    The Israelites were taught to use water, a waiting period, and sacrifice to cleanse themselves. We too have the gifts of water (baptism), savior of all time and the final sacrifice.

    The Sermon On The Mount / The First Three Beatitudes Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 3, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,053 views

    In the Beatitudes, Jesus states eight or nine things which result in us being 'blessed' - meaning, happy or fortunate. They are right at the heart of being right with God and they are very different to the things which most people think will make them happy or fortunate.

    INTRODUCTION Last week we finished our series of six talks on the theme ‘Great Messages of Encouragement’. We’re now starting a new series of talks on the Sermon on the Mount. I don’t know how many talks we’ll have on it, but it will be more than six! What is ‘the Sermon on the Mount’? Well, ...read more
