    "Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things , and likewise Lazarus evil things;but now he is comforted and you are tormented" Luke 16:25.

    Luke 16:19-31 Theme: Going home Text: Luke 16:19-31; Rev. 21:1-5 Home is always the best place to be. But many people have a wrong idea about where their home really is.

    2 Kings 5:1-8 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the LORD had given victory to Aram.

    Contributed by Timm Meyer on Apr 11, 2011
     | 3,514 views

    Easter 5(A) - The power of God’s gospel will always cause people to act and react. Sadly, some will reject God’s truth. Gladly others will receive and believe.

    GOD’S GOSPEL STIRS TO ACTION (Outline) May 2, 2010 - Easter 5 - ACTS 17:1-12 INTRO: God’s word always has a very specific purpose to accomplish. We may not always know or completely understand the final purpose of God’s divine plan. God’s ultimate intent in his word is that all men ...read more

    Are You 'whole'? Are You Thankful?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 17, 2007
     | 2,357 views

    A short talk given at a midweek communion service. Anyone (absolutely anyone) who calls out to Jesus for pity, mercy, forgiveness, will receive it; but are we thankful? Are we ’whole’?

    Jesus brings wholeness. We bring thankfulness. What have you brought with you to this service of Holy Communion today? By that I don’t mean shopping trolleys, or shopping lists, or an umbrella in case it rains, or that letter which you forgot to post. What have you brought to Church today? Have you ...read more

    This Thing Called Grace

    Contributed by Frederic Whittier on Apr 24, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,866 views

    I received the outline for this message from a local Nazarene colleague. It draws a comparison between the grace Christ extended to the lady caught in adultery and the grace shown by the elements of the communion table.

    THIS THING CALLED GRACE John 8:2-11 When I was in Grade 1, I was almost caught throwing rocks. It was during the lunchtime recess when my cousin and I decided the most productive thing to do was to throw rocks. We were not throwing rocks at the school. We were not trying to smash out windows. ...read more

    Faith & Hope

    In the same way that Radio waves and Telephone waves are running through the air and in order to receive them we must have a transmitter so it is in the Spiritual realm with the spoken word of faith.

    Faith and Hope True Glory revealed. In Exodus, Deuteronomy and Psalms when God was delivering a message the Children of Israel had to receive it and then repeat it and in doing this they established the word or sealed the word. By speaking it out it cannot be broken but is forever in the Spiritual ...read more

    The sailors sailing with Jonah-Gentiles-prayed for God’s forgiveness and His help and received both. They were the forerunners of we Gentiles who have accepted Christ as our Saviour.

    Palm Sunday: To Worship Jesus As He Really Is

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 4, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,995 views

    On Palm Sunday Jesus received a warrior’s welcome into Jerusalem, but Jesus was not that kind of Messiah. Do we worship Jesus as He really is, or as we want him to be?

    Do we worship Jesus as he really is? Or do we worship Jesus as we want him to be? It’s a simple multiple choice question – A or B! Do you want to go 50/50? I’m not going to ask for a show of hands. I wonder what mode of transport you would select for a King. A donkey wouldn’t be top of my list, ...read more

    Deacon ordination: Christ has won the victory, so yours is the opportunity to roll up the score with no fear of losing. Pass on what you have received in comfort, conversion, gifts.

    Some things, once they get started, cannot be stopped. There are just some things, once they get rolling, which cannot be interrupted. It’s just impossible. You’re a student and have an exam tomorrow. When the morning dawns and the sun begins to rise, no amount of wishing that the day light would ...read more

    A Mutual Assurance Company

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 23, 2010
     | 3,022 views

    In order to feel fully at home in the church, we begin with praying for one another, we learn both to receive and to give to one another, and we abandon top-down thinking.

    Isn’t it astounding, the power of the group? Isn’t it amazing that an otherwise normal, there, healthy, together person can be in a group and feel so wrong? Have you ever been in a group that was sending out such negative vibes that you just wanted to get out of there? Somehow you even felt ashamed ...read more

    Let The Party Begin

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Mar 31, 2013
     | 3,481 views

    Saving the lost is God's highest priority and heaven rejoices when a single sinner receives Christ. We are saved by grace, and knowing this frees us to share God's grace with others.

    "LET THE PARTY BEGIN" Luke 15:11-32 When I was growing up in Iowa, my parents gave me and my brothers words of wisdom from time to time. We were told, for instance, to eat everything on our plates because "people were starving in China," and to associate with good kids because we would be ...read more

    The Gospel of John states that God has sent the Word to us in Jesus. In him is the originator of good news about what life can be when we receive it in on his terms.

    Scripture The Advent and Christmas season focus on the coming and birth of Jesus Christ. We read and sing about the baby Jesus, angels, shepherds, infancy stories, and wise men. It is all marvelous stuff, but what does it really mean? Today’s Scripture text for the sermon explains it. John 1:1-18 ...read more

    based on 13 ratings
     | 34,584 views

    The parable illustrates the Second Coming of Jesus as being Certain, Joyful Delayed and Decisive with the Foolish virgins excluded from the Banquet with no oil of the Spirit but the Wise receiving eternal bliss in Christ.

    THE WISE AND FOOLISH VIRGINS The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins is one of the best known of the parables of Jesus. It’s one of series of stories that our Lord told as He neared the end of His ministry in connection with His Second Advent, the end of the Day of Grace, each of them a ...read more

     | 5,060 views

    Before we criticize the nine lepers who were not grateful for their cure, we should ask ourselves if we are grateful for the good things that we have received from God.

    In this sermon we focus on our response to such a great gift. Who has the gift been given for? Whoever. How is it received? Faith. Who can be saved? Whoever Believes.

    Introduction: A. We return today to one of the best known passages in all the Bible – John 3:16. 1. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (Jn. 3:16) 2.
