Sermons on Reach To Others In Pain:

No Reservations Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on May 29, 2010

In shifting to a blitzkrieg examination of the role of the church in the Book of Acts, I reworked my sermon on Acts 1. This has some repetition with the other one posted a couple of years ago, but has some new material, too.

Do any of you know what is the last word in the Book of Acts? It is ακωλυτως, pronounced “ah-koh-LOO-tohs” by some and “ah-koh-LEE-tohs” by others, and means “not-hindered,” “not prevented,” “not ...read more

"The Jesus Family Tomb"? Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Apr 10, 2007

The Discovery Channel recently aired a documentary titled, "The Jesus Family Tomb," in which they assert that a tomb was found containing the bones of Jesus and other family members. This sermon examines what really happened on that first Sunday.

The Will Of God, Coke And Honour. Series

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Sep 21, 2012

Have you ever thought I wonder what the will of God is for my life? It could be honouring (that’s New Zealand-English, not a spelling mistake) others so that they too will do the will of God. This is about a culture of honour.

In this time in history the basic desires, the basic drives of the human being are pretty much the same as they have been for all of history. In John’s first letter of three which incidentally I’m working through a series on, we get this directive from this great Apostle, who walked along side ...read more

Be Mature

Contributed by Karl Eckhoff on Feb 12, 2004

While the text is about the gift of tongues, Paul greater concern is how all the gifts of the Spirit are being used for personal gain with little thought of others. Paul would encourage the building up of the body of Christ instead.

The Outward Ripples Of Caring Series

Contributed by Dennis King on Nov 15, 2022

What’s your price? If God put a figure on your heart to indicate your value, what would it be? On the other hand, what value do you place on God’s heart?

Present Mark 7-9 dramatically, by memory if possible. The Price Don’t you just hate it when the very thing you know you must do will cost you everything. Jesus certainly understands this. He lived his life on a collision course with a cross between two thieves. By the way, that’s the same ...read more
