    The Tyranny Of Tradition

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 22, 2022
     | 2,176 views

    We must realise that we are susceptible to transforming the Faith through the introduction of our best efforts to make the Faith more meaningful.

    “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” [1] Traditions are essential to civilisation. Societies are built around traditions which most of those living ...read more

    Standing Beside Them

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 28, 2022
     | 1,397 views

    One man delivered into the grace of the Risen Saviour can make a great difference in the advance of the Faith.

    “Seeing the man who was healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition.” [1] God has no secret agents. Throughout the pages of the New Testament are found multiple accounts of men and women who received the Christ as Master. In every instance, those who believed in Jesus as ...read more

    What Can Transform Saul?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 4, 2022
     | 2,963 views

    The message is a contrast between a new convert named Saul and a mature follower of Christ named Paul. The intent of the message is to encourage Christian maturation in those who come to Christ in faith.

    “When [Saul] had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at ...read more

    Survival Guide For Life In Days Leading To The Apocalypse

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 11, 2022
     | 2,352 views

    We are in the last days. Though we don't know the timing of Christ's return, we are assured that we are living in the last days. How, then, shall we live in this last days?

    “Understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

     | 1,209 views

    God has brought life out of death, delivering us from darkness into light through the death and resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God.

    LUKE 2:22-35 THE EUCATASTROPHE OF THE EVANGELIUM “When the time came for [the ceremonial] purification according to the Law of Moses, [Joseph and Mary] brought [Jesus] up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, ‘Every male who first opens the womb shall be ...read more

    Common Tools; Uncommon Tasks

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 12, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,350 views

    God calls His people to serve now. He delights to use us with what we have, and not after some long, extended preparation in the distant future.

    “Moses answered [the LORD], ‘But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, “The LORD did not appear to you.”’ The LORD said to him, ‘What is that in your hand?’ He said, ‘A staff.’ And he said, ‘Throw it on the ground.’ So he threw it on the ground, and it ...read more

    When You Don't Know What To Ask Him To Do...

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,430 views

    If Jesus was to appear before you, asking you what you want Him to do for you, what would you say? The message is intended to be a challenge for us to boldly ask the Master for that one thing that weighs our hearts.

    “As [Jesus and His disciples] went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him. And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, ‘Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!’ The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, ...read more

     | 1,473 views

    Jesus came to give His life as a sacrifice for fallen mankind. He will reign as King, but that reign awaits His return.

    “When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, ‘This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!’ “Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.” [1] Few of the miracles Jesus performed had ...read more

    Do You Want To Go Away?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 4, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,683 views

    As the message delivered by Jesus transitions for followers to embrace Him as Master, many chose to leave. The Lord questioned His disciples, asking, "Do you want to go away as well?" Peter answered for all who will follow the Saviour, asking, "Lord, to whom shall we go?"

    “Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘Do you want to go away as well?’ Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.’” [1] Christ will never compel anyone to remain as one who is counted among the faithful. If a person is determined to “quit” pretending that ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,592 views

    The Word provides a description of life in the "last days." We are forewarned so that we can continue to live godly lives even as the world grows dark.

    “Understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

    Complaints Against A Gracious God

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 17, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,028 views

    It is a vain and futile thing to complain against God Who is gracious. A study of the descent of Israel into complaining serves to warn us against charging God with error.

    “They sinned still more against [God], rebelling against the Most High in the desert. They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved. They spoke against God, saying, 'Can God spread a table in the wilderness? He struck the rock so that water gushed out and streams ...read more

    A Serious Inquiry Into The Role Of The Under Shepherd Of The Church"

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 25, 2023
     | 1,350 views

    The message is an examination of the qualifications that must be evident in the life of one appointed to eldership.

    “The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, ...read more

    The Spiritual Nature Of Work

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 30, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,871 views

    A message for the Labour Day weekend, emphasising that the work we perform and the manner in which we work reflect our understanding of God.

    “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” [1] The necessity of going to work Monday morning despite being exhausted from the “rest and relaxation” pursued ...read more

    God Is Not A God Of Confusion

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 7, 2023
     | 2,335 views

    We must not imagine that the confusion roiling western culture is because of God. Having rejected the Lord, civilization is confused, and without hope of being set right without God's merciful intervention.

    “God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” [1] We live in a world that is increasingly confused—confused about society, confused about the role of government, confused about the sexes, confused about God. And I could undoubtedly go on about the confusion that reigns in our world. Confusion ...read more

    Taking No Chances

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 24, 2023
     | 2,526 views

    Incomplete obedience is disobedience. And yet, many fellow Christians attempt to serve God while living for the world. We need to discover the will of the Lord and courageously do that will.

    “In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, began to reign. He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. And he did what was right in the eyes of ...read more
