    The Man Who Is No Longer Blind. Series

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Mar 7, 2023
     | 2,746 views

    John 9, the man who was born blind, are we as open to Jesus as he was or closed to Jesus?

    John 9:1-41 A man who is no longer blind. One of the sports that I participated in as a young bloke was caving, the Nelson region has some amazing caves, and I had a few adventures with the Nelson Caving Club. Plus, we would do a few caving trips just as a group of friends. One thing that I ...read more

    The Conquering Christ Series

    Why did Jesus die? Each verse gives part of the answer- Isaiah is still on Friday but we see hints of Sunday (Easter) here (Title, Outline and material adapted from Ray Pritchard at: https://www.keepbelieving.com/sermon/the-conquering-christ/)

    HoHum: Been on Friday the past few months in Isaiah 53. Love this rendition from S.M. Lockridge: It’s Friday, Jesus is praying, Peter’s a sleeping, Judas is a betraying, But Sunday’s a comin’ It’s Friday, Pilate’s struggling, the council is conspiring, the crowd is vilifying, they don’t even know ...read more

    Making The Most Of Every Opportunity

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 25, 2024
     | 2,598 views

    Where did the Easter holiday come from? How do Christians and Churches navigate holidays in a way that takes advantage of what is on people's minds without creating religious holidays and traditions that are not biblically authorized?

    A. One day an atheist was complaining to his Christian friend, “You Christians have your special holidays, such as Christmas and Easter and Jews celebrate their special holidays, such as Passover and Yom Kippur, but we atheists have no recognized special holidays. It’s just not fair!” 1. The ...read more

    The reality of Christ's Resurrection should shape all that we are and all that we do as believers. This is a Resurrection Sunday message

    Resurrection: Living in Light of our Blessed Hope Text: Philippians 3:1-14 I am so happy that you have chosen to gather with the Church this morning as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. For Christians – THIS is one of the most important holidays of the year! ...read more

    Sonrise 2024 Series

     | 845 views

    For our Sonrise meeting at the Tawa water tank, overlooking the town.

    In his letter to the Philippians Paul mentions Jesus' death and resurrection a couple of times. Firstly, in chapter 2 when he writes of Jesus humility as an encouragement for his readers, he states this. 2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort ...read more

    This Lent Get Your Passions Under Control Series

    We take pleasure in the lesser goods of earth–food, drink, beauty, sex. And if we take too much pleasure there, we can treat them as if they were the highest good and we fall into sin.

    Ash Wednesday Homily What brings us here today so early? We are here because we want something. Not a mere smear of black soot, no. If that were our goal, we’d be certifiably insane. We are here because we want at the end of our lives to be united with the Blessed Trinity forever, body and soul, ...read more

    To know the real joy of the resurrection of Christ, move beyond just a peek at it. Ponder it. Perceive it. Then proclaim it to as many people as God gives opportunity.

    Ken Davis is one of my favorite comedians, who tells the story of a dead pet rabbit. Take a look… (show video of Ken Davis, Dead Rabbit, www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3y-SEETPv8). A woman looked out the window of her home and was horrified to see her German Shepherd shaking the life out of the ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 259 views

    “It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s Passover” (Exodus 12:27).

    THE SACRIFICE OF THE LORD’S PASSOVER. Exodus 12:21-28. EXODUS 12:21. Moses gave specific instructions to “the elders of Israel,” the heads of families, to “choose out a lamb” and “kill the Passover.” EXODUS 12:22. The “blood” of the lamb was to be placed in a “basin,” and “a bunch of hyssop” ...read more

    Martha's jealousy and anger drove her to the point where she was literally yelling at the Lord, and bossing him around. How did she get to this point? What is the point of service to God, family and church, and what can get in our way?

    Good Morning. I got a fun story to start with as we dig into the story of Mary and Martha. It took place in 1956, and Tom Attridge was test piloting the brand new jet they wanted to use for the famous Blue Angels. Gunning it up to break the sound barrier, he was instructed to test fire his guns at ...read more

    Different reactions to the empty tomb.

    THE MYSTERY OF THE EMPTY TOMB. John 20:1-10. While Jesus’ enemies had been busying themselves setting a watch over His tomb, the disciples had been sitting quietly at home, keeping the Sabbath. At first dawn Mary Magdalene - and some other women - came to the sepulchre, and found the stone had ...read more

    A faith that overcomes.

    THE CERTAINTY OF GOD’S WITNESS. 1 John 5:4-12. It is interesting to note that 1 JOHN 5:4 begins “all that is born of God” overcomes the world. On just this one occasion, this is written in the neuter. The deeds of faith performed by born-again people are just as much begotten of God as the ...read more

    "I AM the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep" (John 10:11).

    JESUS THE GOOD SHEPHERD. John 10:11-16. In John 10 Jesus effectively castigated the Pharisees for their failures as the spiritual shepherds of Israel. The image was familiar in a pastoral society, and echoed the Old Testament (e.g. Jeremiah 23:1-4). JOHN 10:11. In the fourth “I am” saying of ...read more

    The work of the Good Shepherd.

    THE LORD OUR SHEPHERD. Ezekiel 34:11-16a. First, we see the Good Shepherd as the one who seeks out the lost sheep, Ezekiel 34:11. ‘If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,’ teaches Jesus, ‘does he not go to the mountains to seek the one who is straying?’ (cf. Matthew 18:12). ...read more

    "Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul" (Psalm 66:16).

    OF ANSWERED PRAYER. Psalm 66:16-20. The testimony of the people of God is supplemented with the testimony of one believer: like a good old-fashioned evangelistic meeting, which not only has good preaching, but also individual testimonies to follow. The voice of the one rises above the song of ...read more

    Is true peace found? In Christ as we know The Holy Spirit with us, Breath of Heaven.

    The Peace of Christ, Breath of Heaven. An Advent message. The first part of this sermon is a little auto biographical. There have been a few times in my life when I was living on the edge, well it felt like it anyway. I don’t mean the times when I was kayaking or climbing, even screaming down a ...read more
