    Pastoral Personal Conduct

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 16, 2013
     | 6,961 views

    Timothy is instructed in how he is to conduct his life as a minister of Christ. Thus, each servant of the Master is taught how he should conduct his life and ministry.

    “Command and teach these things. Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, ...read more

     | 4,267 views

    Evil must be cleansed; it cannot be cured.

    “A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed. Only on the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses shall a charge be established. If a malicious witness arises to accuse a person of ...read more

    Christmas According To Isaiah Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 30, 2013
     | 7,514 views

    Isaiah foresaw not only the Incarnation of the Saviour, but projected to His reign over the earth.

    “But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. “The people who walked ...read more

    Christmas According To John Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 7, 2013
     | 4,796 views

    John begins his examination of the ministry of Jesus by looking at the Incarnation. The message seeks to explore what this means for believers.

    “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” [1] One can focus on minutiae and fail to see the beauty presented in the story of God’s love. Nevertheless, for a moment think of ...read more

    The First Person To Doubt The Virgin Birth Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 10, 2011
     | 4,293 views

    The Christmas story begins well before the birth of the Son of God. At the least, it begins with a startled teenage girl who is confronted by an angel with an unexpected announcement.

    “In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, ‘Greetings, O favoured one, the Lord is with you!’ But she was ...read more

    How Many Wise Men Worshipped The Christ? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 10, 2011
     | 4,772 views

    We often focus on issues that are insignificant rather than seeing the glory of the Lord shining through what has been written.

    “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.’ When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, ...read more

    The First Person To Worship Jesus Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 17, 2011
     | 5,822 views

    Though the Master was worshipped by angels, the unborn John was the first person to worship the Saviour, and his mother, Elizabeth, was the first to lend her voice to praise the Saviour.

    “[Mary] was greatly troubled at the [angel’s] saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He ...read more

    Should We Celebrate Christmas? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 17, 2011
     | 5,060 views

    We are responsible to maintain our focus on Him Whom we call "Lord." At no time has this become more critical than during the Christmas Season.

    “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and ...read more

    The First Person To Die In The Faith Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 24, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,072 views

    Simeon is easily overlooked in the account of Christ’s birth. This should not be, as he was the first person to die in the Faith.

    “There was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. And he came in ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,504 views

    Christ the Lord has promised that He shall return for His people, to take them to be with Him. Perhaps today!

    “Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

    Can A Christian Be Lost Again?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 7, 2012
     | 4,282 views

    Eternal life means unending life; this is what Christ offers. Some, however, are convinced that His gift is probationary. The life He offers is meant to encourage us, and not to intimidate us.

    “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father ...read more

    Why Can’t We Be Good Enough To Satisfy God? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 8, 2012
     | 4,303 views

    Our fallen condition demands that God must provide a Saviour if we will be saved. We cannot redeem ourselves.

    “While we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have ...read more

    The Certainty Of Death For Modern Society

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 14, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,948 views

    Failure to respect the elderly within a given society ensures God’s censure. Modern attitudes spell the death of contemporary western society, unless we return to the attitude and practise outlined in God’s Word.

    “You shall stand up before the grey head and honour the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord.” This coming Sunday will mark the thirty-ninth year of legalised murder of the unborn in the womb for citizens of the United States. Arising from the fatuous discovery of a ...read more

    Do The Good Die Young? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 15, 2012
     | 5,674 views

    Is there any truth to the old saw, "Only the good die young?"

    “Just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.” “Only the good die young!” This old saw was commonly ...read more

    Soul Competency: A Distorted Foundational Truth Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 21, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,737 views

    What does "Soul Competency" mean? What are the implications of the doctrine of "Soul Competency?" A sermonic study of this neglected and distorted teaching.

    “The word of the LORD came to me: ‘What do you mean by repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children’s teeth are set on edge?’ As I live, declares the Lord GOD, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel.
