    Baptism In Matthew Series

    Contributed by Nathan Eyland on Mar 10, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,365 views

    Why do churches practise Baptism? From where does it come?

    Eighteen months after Leni and I were married we went on a bit of a world tour. We visited places that were important in our development as people. Leni took me to Greece, to see the places where we parents came from. I took Leni to South Africa, where my mother was from and the place where I ...read more

    David & Goliath - The Battle Is The Lord's Series

    God is the one who saves, not by sword or spear, but by his power, by his word proclaimed in the gospel, by his Spirit who fills each one of us just as he filled David.

    I guess this would be one of the best known, if not THE best known story in the Bible. In fact it’s so well known that David has become a metaphor for the victorious underdog. He’s the archetypal cutter down of tall poppies. The one who can overcome the greatest odds to win through to victory. But ...read more

    Dealing with the feelings of Abandonment

    When you feel abandoned (Ps 22) Have you ever felt that God has left you? You know what I mean – you are in desperate need and he seems to have just abandoned you. It may have been that you were ill or maybe had a friend or a parent or child that was desperately ill and you were crying out to ...read more

    How we can learn from Mary Magdalene’s example

    MARY MAGDALENE – JOHN 20.1-18 Over the past year one of the major best sellers has been a book called the Da Vinci Code. The book purports to be genuine history of a secret which the Christian church has tried to suppress for nearly 2000 years – namely that Jesus did not die on the cross but was ...read more

    “No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money” Luke 16:13.

    Theme: You cannot serve God and money Text: Amos 8:4-7; 1 Tim. 2:1-8; Lk. 16:1-13 God is concerned about our future and teaches us to also show that same concern. Our concern should lead us to make the right decisions in life. When God created the tree that yields fruit, the Scriptures declare ...read more

    David Takes Jerusalem As His Capital Series

    based on 39 ratings
     | 15,436 views

    David is first of all the Shepherd King. That is, he rules with humble loving-kindness, reflecting the love and grace of God, trusting him to bring the victories he needs. But secondly he’s, at the same time, a warrior king, using all the military prowess

    Saul’s son Ish-Bosheth is dead. David is now free to assume the kingship of all of the combined nation of Israel and Judah. The reason this has come about is that two of Ish-Bosheth’s own men have assassinated their king. You’ll find the story of this murder in 2 Sam 4, where David once again ...read more

    Seizing The Moment For God.

    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,858 views

    A sermon that uses Matthew chapter 14 to look at how Jesus seizes opportunities in a incident in his life and suggests how we can do the same.

    Seize the moment. Trite saying for a crazy world or biblical principle? Colossians 4:5-6: Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each ...read more

    Many of us know about the separation of the sheep and the goats, but what is the reason for the separation? Since it cannot be only our treatment of the down and out there must be another reason.

    Matthew 25:31-46. “You ought to be congratulated” Scripture Readings:- James 1:19-27 Matthew 25:31-46 (text) Congregation in the Lord, The basic teaching of this passage is obvious … Jesus summarizes it in verse 46. “Then they (the goats) will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous ...read more

    Acts 2:1-4, 14-21 The Works of the Holy Spirit Pentecost was an act of God. No one dictated it or commanded it, God Himself did. • No disciple asked for it, and no one understood the significance of it until it happened. • Jesus said the Father will send the Holy Spirit after he ...read more

    Tools Of The Faith Part 1: Take That Thought Captive Series

     | 11,606 views

    Tools of the faith make our journey easier. As we live in the will of God as we think in accordance with his will, we stay in his will.

    We are told in scripture to work out our salvation. The interesting thing about this is that when we work we need a few tools and the better the quality of the tools the easier the job usually goes and the better the results. (Here I pulled a couple of nails out of a peice of wood with a jemmy bar ...read more

    Following Christ means, among other things, putting God first and prayer

    RG/KB 27-06-2010 This morning, I would like to look at one verse from our Gospel reading – verse 59 where Jesus said: "Follow me." In Mt 16, Jesus elaborates on what he means by following him when he said: If any one would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow ...read more

    People are managing the affairs they know little or nothing about. For instance, there are teachers who should be students, deliverance ministers who need deliverance, “great men and women of God” who should be learning how to be true followers of Christ.

    A tragic story once occurred of a woman and her son walking along a river bank. The woman was in her latter stage of pregnancy and held her toddler son by the hand as they journeyed. Suddenly, the little boy slipped and fell into the river! The woman in her condition could not jump into the river ...read more

    Paul appeals to the Corinthian church to unify. He pleads for unity of word and unity of action.

    Introduction A. Two taxidermists stopped in front of a window where an owl was on display. They immediately began to criticize the way it was mounted. Its eyes were not natural; its wings were not in proportion with its head; its feathers were not neatly arranged; and its feet could be improved. ...read more

    Another John the Baptist sermon, but I really did not understand the man until now. Can we ever emulate and sustain his devotion to Jesus?

    This sermon was delivered to Holy Trinity in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 17th December 2017 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 John 1:6-8,19-28 Psalm 19:14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our ...read more
