Emmaus Experience

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000

The disciples’ walk to emmaus begins a developing Experience of Christ - Heart-Breaking at his death but when Jesus joins them it becomes Heart-Searching and ends as Heart-Burning Experience.

I read about a minister who was given the honour of preaching at an important meeting of his denomination. Just before he was to start his sermon he was seen to be looking anxiously around the congregation. The chairman whispered to him, "What’s the problem? Is there someone here who’s heard the ...read more

How Do You Receive The Word Part 2 Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 5, 2008

The philosophers of Paul’s day are not really that much different from what we see in the world around us in a post-Christian society. How Paul addressed them can help us in dealing with people who collect thoughts like Matchbox cars.

What did you collect as a child? I collected a number of things, pennies, model trains, marbles, and Matchbox® cars. I would wait anxiously until my mother would drive me down to the toy store so I could drool over the latest and greatest tiny little car or truck. I used to show off my more ...read more

Morphing Jesus In America

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 30, 2009

Leonard Sweet in his book Soul Tsunami wrote: "our post modern American culture wants tolerance of all beliefs..." the result is the morphing of Jesus into syncretism. Americans are deeply spiritual and secualar. We cook up our own religion to our taste

Come On Down Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 30, 2008

The times, like those of post-Exilic Jerusalem, require us to wait. Will it be passive, impassive, or active waiting? Active waiting means seeing that what God has done He will do again. God will enlist us and shape us to work for His purposes.

“We wait. We are bored. No, don’t protest, we are bored to death, there’s no denying it. … A diversion comes along and what do we do? We let it go to waste . . . .In an instant all will vanish and we’ll be alone once more, in the midst of nothingness!” So speaks one of the characters in Samuel ...read more

God's Eternal Yes And Yes! Series

Contributed by Matthew Oliver on Oct 20, 2012

2 Corinthians 1:12-24. God's eternal 'yes and yes' states a truth which dispells the relativism and lies of the post-modern era, where each person claims the right to their truth. Christians are called to rebut this split world view with the true unity

We just starting out on our sermon series through Paul’s second letter to the Christians at Corinth. This week we hear Paul as he engages a Christian community that is living out the fruits of a cultural context that was more of Greek philosophy than of God. I always wonder how it is we ...read more

The Stubborn Evangelist: Part 3 Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Had he been your employee you would have fired him. Would you take an officer who has just been court-martialed and immediately give him command of a post? Yet, notice the amazing patience God has for Jonah.

Today we continue a four part series entitled Jonah: The Stubborn Evangelist. Jonah is also a man on the run from his responsibility – to share the message of God’s mercy to others. And this is what Jonah is really about – first experiencing God’s mercy and then extending God’s mercy. And it’s ...read more

Please Stop Talking Nonsense About Gog/Magog - November 2023 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 3, 2023

In these days the words Gog/Magog crop up in reference to the current war against Hamas. This Gog war will definitely happen, but there is debate about the timing. This article shows it can be only at one specific time. I have more detailed posts in the Eschatology Series.

PLEASE STOP TALKING NONSENSE ABOUT GOG/MAGOG - November 2023 ERRORS ABOUT THE GOG MAGOG WAR - November 2023 It really disturbs me that some people become fanciful about the Gog war, and make stupid statements about it that show they have nor studied Ezekiel 38 and 39 correctly.

Lessons From A Ewe

In this post-modern culture people often are wondering aimlessly with no direction and worse yet no one to follow. This sermon, preached on Mother’s Day draws some important lessons that can be learned from a Ewe on what Jesus meant when he called us his

I’ve often said that I’m glad I do what I do because I couldn’t do what my wife does. Mothers are amazing. They’re teachers and disciplinarians. They’re cleaning ladies and doctors, and nurses and psychologists and counselors. They’re coaches and chauffeurs. They’re developers of personalities, ...read more

Living First Things First Series

Contributed by David Flowers on Jun 16, 2006

Part 6 of series Jesus, Post-Resurrection. In Colossians 3 and 4, the Apostle Paul shows how the supremacy of Christ should show through our personal purity; Christian fellowship; the home; our work; our witness to the world; and in the way we serve God.

Living First Things First Colossians 3 and 4 May 28, 2006 Some might say that in the third and fourth chapters of Colossians, Paul gets PRACTICAL, because that’s where he sets out to show us how the superiority of Christ over all things ought to be displayed in our daily lives.

Don’t Despise The Small Things. Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 1, 2019

We might feel small, just as the post exiles built a small temple. But when we are in the hands of God He chooses to use us as we are. Don’t be disheartened by how you think things are. Don’t despise the day of small things.

Is Isaiah Crying Marantha? (Advent 1 December 2020)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 5, 2023

Though we are not a post-exilic community, like the one in today’s text we too, want relief from our disasters of this tumultuous year. The one thing that quarantine has in common with being exiled is isolation. ... We too, want God to act and fix things.
