     | 569 views

    This sermon focuses on "Your Kingdom come" in the Lord's Prayer. What does it mean to pray for that to come about?

    “YOUR KINGDOM COME": Jesus is inaugurating a kingdom. - Matthew 6:10. - So there is an important and underused word here in this part of the Lord’s Prayer: kingdom. - Let’s set the stage as we have in previous sermons.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 13, 2025
     | 381 views

    Jeremiah attributes all the destruction in Judah to the LORD’S action against the nation, yet they themselves are responsible because of their perverted idolatry. This was done in fierce anger as described. The Lord’s judgement against sin will have a future component.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 7 – THE LORD DESTROYED JUDAH PERMISSIVELY – SIN REAPS JUDGEMENT - CHAPTER 2:2-5 [1]. THE LORD HAS WROUGHT A COMPLETE DESTRUCTION {{Lamentations 2:2 “The Lord HAS SWALLOWED up. He HAS NOT SPARED ALL the habitations of Jacob. In His wrath HE HAS THROWN down the ...read more

     | 493 views

    What do you do when you witness this type of scheming and manipulation in the workplace and even in the family? As many here have testified, it is better to walk in godly integrity and let God vindicate you!

    In these trying times in our lives, will our desperation drive our decisions or will we grow in our faith and be guided by God? We saw that because of God’s goodness and grace, even though Leah and Rachel were the battling brides, God accomplished what He set out to do in fulfilling His promises ...read more

    What Happens to Christians when they die? Is there an afterlife? How do one prepare for it? How is one certain of resurrection?

    “PRECIOUS IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD IS THE DEATH OF HIS SAINTS” (PS. 116:15) Death is the one thing we are most certain of, yet most ill-prepared. Is there an afterlife? How do one prepare for it? How is one certain of resurrection? All cultures have shown interest in life after death. Egyptians ...read more

    What Does It Feel Like To Know Jesus Is Alive.

     | 1,425 views

    Because Jesus rose from the dead – so will we … but before we go, we are changed into something he wants us to be. He wants us to look forward to dead, and our future life with him.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 9th April 2023 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, ...read more

    Labor Day: The Year of Jubilee was a period of rest and restoration; a time when debts were cancelled and slaves set free. Many today wish they could have a year’s vacation with all their debts cancelled! The greatest Jubilee is in Christ!

    On this Labor Day weekend, as we look at the account of the “Year of Jubilee,” we will observe a period of rest and restoration extended to the children of Israel. The Bible tells us that the Jubilee occurred every forty-nine years (v. 8). It was a time when all the land experienced a sabbath, or ...read more

    Ministers collect most of their knowledge from two places.

    (1) THEY LEARN A LOT FROM BIBLE COLLEGES AND SEMINARIES When young pastors graduate from Bible College or Seminary, they are excited about preaching and teaching all the things they have learned from God’s Word.

    Notice the Bible says that Hananiah FEARED GOD ABOVE MANY.

    That is when you take the life of Hananiah and compare it to other men, his life revealed he feared God much more than most men. In this society in which we live, we do not hear very much about the “Fear Of The Lord”. One of the reasons we do not SEE and HEAR much about the fear of the Lord is ...read more

    An Ascension Gift Basket For You!

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 22, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 20,264 views

    Although the Bible doesn’t call it a “gift basket” it does use the word “gifts” in connection with our Savior’s ascension into heaven. Because of Jesus' ascension we receive many gifts. In Luke's account of the ascension we notice three.

    We call them “gift baskets.” They might be for holidays like Christmas or Easter. Or they may be given for someone’s birthday, or perhaps an anniversary. Now as you think of gift baskets what makes them different from other gifts? Although perhaps you can think of many more things that make ...read more

    The time we are given in this life is priceless. We cannot save it, but we can use it wisely and gain from it. This is why we should strive to make the most of our time, be diligent in using our talents, and fulfill our roles to the best of our abilities.

    God will always remember His people, even when trouble feels overwhelming. We may face hard times, troubles, and tribulation, but we don’t face them alone.

    Have you ever been in a store and see a child that has gotten separated from his parents? The fear is very evident on the child's face as well as the parents’ face. It's a horrible feeling when the child turns around and can't find his parents. They frantically look through every ...read more
