The Sermon On The Mount / The First Three Beatitudes Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 3, 2022

In the Beatitudes, Jesus states eight or nine things which result in us being 'blessed' - meaning, happy or fortunate. They are right at the heart of being right with God and they are very different to the things which most people think will make them happy or fortunate.

INTRODUCTION Last week we finished our series of six talks on the theme ‘Great Messages of Encouragement’. We’re now starting a new series of talks on the Sermon on the Mount. I don’t know how many talks we’ll have on it, but it will be more than six! What is ‘the Sermon on the Mount’? Well, ...read more

What It Takes To Please God

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 4, 2022

One of the things that many Pastors enjoy doing is reading of great churches across this land that are reaching the lost for Christ.

But the fact is, you can visit these wonderful soul winning churches to see how they do it, and come back and implement the same things they are doing in your church, and not get the same results, if any results at all. Why? Because what might work for one church might not work for another. That ...read more

Repent Or Perish

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 18, 2022

What is Jesus’s teaching about “repent or perish” telling us? Is it not the same as saying choose life or choose death? Today we will talk about tragedy and repentance.

REPENT OR PERISH Text: Luke 13:1-9 Luke 13:1- 9 At that time, some people who were there told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.  (2)  He asked them, "Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because ...read more

Always Remain Watchful Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

The two parables here serve to caution us about slacking off in kingdom work. We need to keep our waist girded and be ready for service; and be alert and watchful at all times, so we don’t miss opportunities to share the love of Christ.

This evening’s message is entitled “Always Remain Watchful,” and it’s taken from two short parables commonly called “The Parable of the Faithful and Evil Servant” and “The Parable of the Thief.” In these two short parables Jesus spoke a word about faithfulness; the kind of faithfulness that leads ...read more

Parables Of The Kingdom – The First - The Sower Or Rather The Soil – Part 4 Of 5 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025

We are studying the third soil in the Parable of the Sower and now consider the reasons why the good seed gets choked by thorns. How many of us know someone who walked as a strong Christian but just departed the faith? It is a complex matter and we try to see why that happens.

PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 4 of 5 In the last message we did the seed that fell on the rocky soil, and we also did some of the seed that was choked by thorns. We will finish that choked seed this time. Let us revise the relevant verses from last ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 33 – The Most Horrible Conditions Caused Through Starvation - Chapter 4:8-11 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 7, 2025

For some they will find this section of Lamentations distasteful but it is scripture and must not be ignored. It speaks of the effects of starvation, and women boiling their children. We MUST understand what is behind all that and I address that issue. Try to read and meditate.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 33 – THE MOST HORRIBLE CONDITIONS CAUSED THROUGH STARVATION - CHAPTER 4:8-11 We continue working through Chapter 4 and right now have been looking at the terrible conditions of the starving people.
