    God's Indescribable Abundance Series

    How can one describe what God has given in this church, with the successes of the past year? How describe human needs, especially for the Gospel? And how describe the opportunities for inclusive worship, honest learning, and artistic expression?

    Once upon a time a certain church was in an uproar. Some said that the pastor was not performing according to expectations. And so complaints were brought to the deacons, who met to consider the issue, and asked those who were grumbling, “What is the problem with the pastor?” One disaffected ...read more

    We Are Individually Responsible

    An idea is being floated in our nation that citizens must pay for the sins of the past in something called "reparations." This message asks if this concept is biblical. Praise be to God that He does not require reparations from us!

    I want to begin our message this morning by bringing an awareness of a modern-day proposal that is being floated in our local, state, and federal governments, and then tie that in to what Ezekiel has to say in our passage. Across our nation, people are talking about something called “reparations.” ...read more

    Lent is a time for reflection, a time in which we are called to examine our spiritual life. This message is intended to encourage those who are perplexed by their own sin and help them come to see that there is an ever-present possibility of change.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) Well, here we are. Spring has sprung, so it would appear. Daylight Savings Time has begun, and we have been enjoying wonderful weather—a bit early, but who’s complaining! I ...read more

    Part 1 of FACING THE FUTURE! God says, I will give you: 1. A new heart 2. A new spirit 3. A new covenant. I want to briefly reflect on what these three gifts of newness mean.

    A sermon given at the London School of Theology. When things go wrong in our lives God is the first to get blamed! Here, God challenges the Jews to remember (his past goodness) and recognise (that THEY are in fact the ones who have grieved Him)

    Micah 6:1-8. LBC (London School of Theology). Monday 10th Jan 94 Walking home from work one lunchtime this week I passed one of the guys I know in the street (because his son’s a christian...) sweeping snow off his car.

    Coming Home On Father's Day

    Contributed by David Washburn on Jun 11, 2002
    based on 135 ratings
     | 47,830 views

    Father’s Day is a day to honor our father, our Heavenly Father. Jesus’ parable about the prodigal son is a pure reflection of a loving father and what it means to come home on Father’s Day.

    Dads, today is our day, but Father’s Day has somehow never been held in as high regard as Mother’s Day. Mother’s just have that certain something. After all, whenever you see someone holding a sign or mouthing “hello,” they’re saying, “Hi, Mom,” and usually not, “Hi Dad.” Now, I’m not complaining, ...read more

    "Understanding & Breaking Generational Curses.”

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jul 24, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,944 views

    The means for breaking generational curses was accomplished at Calvary. Still, the lingering effects of past actions and sins that have been passed down through our bloodline may remain, and addressing these problems involves repentance, faith, deliverance, and a dedication to a new life in Christ.

    based on 99 ratings
     | 10,776 views

    The smoking pot, flaming torch and God’s covenant with Himself that benefited Abraham is a reflection of our covenant of grace. This sermon looks at the promise that is not dependent upon us, but on God’s grace.

    The Covenant of Grace Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." 2 But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer ...read more

    Texts: “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

    Today I would like us to do two things: (1) to try and understand some of Jesus’ difficult sayings about discipleship; and (2) to share a couple of introductory reflections on discipleship.

    By Rev Bill Stewart As Chris mentioned last Sunday, today we are officially beginning a series of sermons on the theme of "discipleship". Although discipleship seems to have already been the theme for at least two weeks now. Two weeks ago we saw how Jesus called people to be disciples and then ...read more

    In order to live life out of the overflow of our relationship with God, we must love one another habitually, connect with God daily, and reflect on the depths of God’s love regularly.
