  • Biblical Finger Wagging Series

    Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Sep 6, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,033 views

    How do we deal with anger, sin and disagreement in our communities? Does Matt 18:15-17 inspire us to deep dastedely discipline or do we need to read it in the context of the rest of Matthew 18?

    How do we handle Sin? Anger? Conflict? Disagreement? Human beings are not very good at dealing with these things. “She’s not my friend any more” “She said this” “he did that” It happens at school, and we adults keep doing it. According to some ...read more

  • Why I Don't Have A "Vision" Or "5 Year Plan" For Our Church

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 13, 2018
     | 4,689 views

    This is an abbreviated sermon used after my annual pastor's report to the congregation explaining why we do not have a written "business plan" for church growth. Instead it lays out the 3 foundational steps the Lord has put in my heart as I serve here.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more

     | 5,350 views

    The Bible does not give us a record about the ways in which the apostles died, other than James, -- We must rely on early church historians and secular historians as well, but both seem to be in agreement and both are concidered reliable.

    #3~ THE APOSTLES 12-21-13 Today we'll continue with our study to do with the apostles, and bring a few thoughts on their lives and death. -- James the son of Zebedee, and brother of John, is the only apostolic martyrdom recorded in ...read more

    Why do we take the cessationist position on the sign gifts?

    In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is very concerned that false teaching be acknowledged and corrected. In our last message, we began to look a Christ’s corrective teaching on prayer. During that study, I made a short reference to the subject of speaking in tongues. I noted in that message ...read more

    Examining the life of Joseph, and the reasons God chose him to be born for greatness. For, like Joseph, we've each been born to carry out a great mission from God

    Do you believe God predestines people for greatness? As we go through our time this morning, I’d like for you to allow that question to simmer in your mind. Now, I don’t know about you, but when I look into the chronicles of history, I can see some folks that have definitely done ...read more

  • There Is No Substitute

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 8, 2004
    based on 51 ratings
     | 7,352 views

    Mothers’ Day sermon: We need the structure of the home, for there is no substitute for moral living, which means there is no substitute for authentic religious teaching, which in turn means there is no substitute for responsible parenting.

    Lord, help the poor soul who serves as a substitute teacher. When I was a schoolboy and our teacher had to be away, we plotted what we were going to do to that substitute. There was something about the idea that we would have her for only one or two days and would likely never see her again. ...read more

     | 5,232 views

    Who of us have never known an experience that we’d sooner forget; an experience of theft or maybe deception; or recounting those times when we were selfishly motivated, yielding to sin’s tempting tug and losing to its hold and persuasion.

    The unknown author of the following story captures the value of a name. “After the American Civil War the managers of the infamous Louisiana Lottery approached Robert E. Lee and asked if he’d let them use his name in their scheme. They promised that if he did he would become rich. Astounded, Lee ...read more

    Discovering your name sometimes requires experiences of dark nights and aloneness. God must test our behaviour. He pushes us to see things that are not good for us, things that must change. He loves us far to much to leave us to our destructive behaviour

    The unknown author of the following story captures the value of a name. “After the American Civil War the managers of the infamous Louisiana Lottery approached Robert E. Lee and asked if he’d let them use his name in their scheme. They promised that if he did he would become rich. Astounded, Lee ...read more

  • When You Pray

    Contributed by H.b. Charles Jr. on Jan 16, 2012
    based on 9 ratings
     | 31,027 views

    "When You Pray" is an exposition of Matthew 6:5-8. In this passage, Jesus tells us what not to do when we pray. His instruction can be summarized with two prohibitions: (1) Do not pray like the hypocrites. And (2) do not pray like the Gentiles.

    WHEN YOU PRAY Matthew 6:5-8 There is a principle of Bible interpretation called the principle of repeated mention. It means that the repeated things in scripture are usually the emphasized things. This principle leads us to the theme of our text. Verse 5 begins, “And when you pray.” Verse 6 ...read more

  • How To Be A Spiritual Lion Tamer Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2021
     | 3,150 views

    What qualified David to be used so mightily by God that two pagan kings were converted to fear His God. The story of Daniel and the Lion's Den supplies us with many encouraging spiritual lessons about how to be the kind of man whom God fully supports!

    One of my favorite verses is II Chronicles 16:9a: “For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” It’s a verse that gives hope to any one and every one of us who would like to be used of the Lord that great ...read more
