Sermons on Raising Childern:

Saved From Guilt

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on Jul 6, 2023

Guilt can be crippling. Jesus did not come to condemn but to save. When Jesus died we died. We have been raised a new creation. No more the old guilty man

For more than 50 years I lived in guilt. Even though I knew I was forgiven by God. I had been abused at eight years old and I could never tell anybody about it. At least I felt I could not speak about it because I had made my abuse my own and I felt ashamed. In later years I felt afraid to be found ...read more

Introduction: Elijah, the prophet. He was and is one of the most well-known men in the Bible.

Jesus, The Living Saviour

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Apr 15, 2006

What if there is no resurrection? It means death has won and there is no life. It means darkness reigns and there is no hope. But Christ has been raised, therefore now we have God’s gift of life and hope.

On That Great Gettin' Up Morning

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 26, 2009

For Remembrance Sunday: getting past grief means crying out honestly and insistently for help, and it means having confidence in the God who raised Christ from the dead and thus defeated death itself.

The hymns we have sung and the Scriptures we have read have one important word that is common to all of them. That word is "morning". "Morning", as in "good morning". "Morning" is an important Biblical image. I am leading us to worship around the symbol of morning today because I want us to use it ...read more

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 18, 2018

We see the unfolding of God's will and the outworking of God's works in fulfilling His will. God raised Ezra, the man of God's Law, to bring about the next phrase of restoration - spiritual reformation and renewal.

Finally, we have Ezra appearing in the book that bears his name. Chapter 7. • We ended chapter 6 with the completion and the dedication of the Temple of God, led by Zerubbabel and Jeshua, under the reign of Darius. • This was made possible because of the move of God (1) through the preaching ...read more

A Big Riddle About Heaven

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 12, 2015

Jesus said that marriage is for people here on earth. But in the age to come, those who are raised from the dead will not marry or be married. Not only that, but they will never die again. They will live forever as the children of God.

Good morning boys and girls! How many of you like riddles? I liked them when I was your age, and I still like them because they make you think. Jesus also like riddles.
