    Circumcision Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 22, 2024
     | 195 views

    Using OT Scripture, Paul proves in Romans 4:9-12 that circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. Justification is by faith alone. Vital principles applicable today are taught in this passage of Scripture.

    Intro Romans 4 naturally divides into sections: 1. Justification is by faith, not by works (vv.1-8). 2. Justification by faith is not dependent on ritual (vv. 9-16). 3. The kind of faith that leads to justification is exemplified by Abraham (vv. 17-22). 4. Justification is available now for all ...read more

    The Baptism Of John Series

     | 3,488 views

    Re-baptism is a practice of some Baptist churches. This message looks at re-baptism in the New Testament, and discusses how when a person’s baptism is done under the wrong belief system, then the individual needs to be re-baptized.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “The Baptism of John.” We have recently been learning about baptism, and today, I am going to be discussing false baptisms; and the best way to present this message is by looking at what the New Testament refers to as “the baptism of John.” This was a ...read more

    The Church’s song is two millennia old and is deserving of use and respect

    May 18, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis Acts 16: 11-21 and John 15: 21-27 When we listen to the Gospel of Luke and the Acts, and to the Gospel of John as well, we get the impression that the Holy Spirit was more active in the early Church than today. Paul was forbidden by the Spirit–probably warned by ...read more

    Word And Eucharist Are One Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 13, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,261 views

    The Gospel proclaims the divine reversal--the weak become strong by grace; thus also Word and Sacrament are the means by which weakness is strengthened.

    June 15, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis Here in the penumbra of the Feast of Corpus Christi, it is particularly helpful to reflect on what many have called “the great reversal.” The Gospel is one frequently quoted to show the power of nonviolent resistence. Go two miles when forced to go one. St. ...read more

    Jesus lived and died to create the true Israel of God.

    Tuesday of Holy Week 7 April 2009 Israel was not made a holy nation by God for its own benefit. From the beginning, this nomadic tribe was to be a place of true worship of the one God. This people was called to be a light to the nations, so that all would be attracted to right worship, and so ...read more

    This message considers the appearance of demon spirits in the Old Testament. Demons don’t just suddenly appear out of thin air in the Gospels, but are seen in the Older Testament as well

Tardo This study will begin with clarification of certain items within The Doctrine of Angels, under the sub-heading The Ministry of Angels.

    We Are His Offspring

     | 444 views

    God created mankind, and He gives us our being. Thus, we must not segregate on the basis of race or sex. Flowing from the knowledge of God's creation, and having given His Word, we discover that not all cultures are equal, though all people have opportunity to know God.

    “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and ...read more

    Sermon 13 in Galatians series. Believers are compared to a child who has grown up and no longer needs a pedagogue. From slavery to freedom, from slavery to sonship!

    06/10/2007 Growing Up (Gal 4:1-11) How do you know when you have Grown UP? I know what you are thinking – some of us never have But really – how do you know? Something kind of missing in our culture nowadays is a rite of passage, some ceremony that shows everyone that you have come of age. It ...read more

    The only thing with lasting value is a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, and the most important aspect of our lives is fostering that relationship.

    Intimate Value Text: Phil. 3:1-11 Introduction 1. Illustration: "Everything in this world has two aspects - how it looks at the moment, and how it will look in the time to come. The easy way may look inviting at the moment, and the hard way daunting.

    Are we saved by faith or baptism? This is an extra sermon in our 3 on 3 series.

    You know how some sermons are just easy to listen to? Maybe they hit on a subject you were just wondering about, or they address a need you felt but hadn’t put a name to, or they re-affirm something you believed but didn’t have the words for. Some sermons just seem to hit us right where we are at ...read more

     | 4,167 views

    In the midst of a rumour accusing Paul falsely, we see him doing what he can to preserve the unity of the church and mission of the church. This is the heart of a servant of God.

    Read Acts 21:15-26. LET US PRAY: Thank you for your written Word. May the truth of your Word inspires us again, to know you and trust you, and to be faithful followers of Christ.

    Abraham Justified Before Circumcision Series

     | 136 views

    Paul wants his people to know that salvation is not dependent on any work.

    4:9 “Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised?” Is God’s blessedness, or happiness, which David just described, for only Jews, or can Gentiles get in on this? He doesn’t use those two terms though. He is making a point. Is a man made right and happy ...read more

    Jesus' sign of turning the water to wine reveals a bit of how he addresses our earthly and eternal needs.

    Introduction I have a problem. I don’t like things on my hands. As a result I wash my hands too often when I’m cooking. Now, you may not see that as a problem, after all, cross contamination of various foods is never good. But I do. The other day, Danielle and I were preparing dinner together. ...read more
