    The Unworkable Solution Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 27, 2010
     | 3,678 views

    Discipline has become, not simply the neglected command of the Master, but it is dismissed as the unworkable solution as the churches attempt to apply psychology to do the work of God.

    “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he ...read more

    I Am The Truth Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 7, 2010
     | 5,629 views

    When Jesus declares that He is the truth, what does that mean for us as believers? Explore the topic with me as we weigh the words of the Master.

    “Jesus said…, ‘I am … the truth… No one comes to the Father except through me.’” Seldom do we separate the triad of affirmations recorded in our text. The more usual approach is to consider them as a unit. The Master testified, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” We intuitively ...read more

    No Greater Joy Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 14, 2010
     | 10,356 views

    Joy is the heritage of the believer. If we do not have joy in our Christian walk, it is either because we do not know the author of joy, or we are disobedient to His will.

    “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in ...read more

    Going Out For The Sake Of The Name Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,884 views

    Understanding our mission dictates embracing missions. Failure to understand the first leads to failure to fulfil the latter.

    3 JOHN 5 8 GOING OUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE NAME “Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for these brothers, strangers as they are, who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner worthy of God. For they have gone out for ...read more

    Loved In Truth Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,148 views

    Christians are taught to love one another. However, what is it that causes us to love one another? How shall we love? John gives us a glimpse of the love we are to have in this brief letter to a man named Gaius.

    “The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no ...read more

    When They Believed, They Were Baptised

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 30, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,187 views

    In the New Testament account, those who believed, and only those who believed, were baptised.

    “There was a man named Simon, who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was somebody great. They all paid attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, ‘This man is the power of God that is called Great.’ And they paid ...read more

    On The Death Of Usama Bin Laden

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 7, 2011
     | 5,375 views

    Meditations on how Christians should respond to the death of a wicked man.

    “As I live, declares the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die?” Following a busy day last Sunday, I relaxed with Lynda by watching television in the evening. I was ...read more

    Baptising Disciples Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 14, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,396 views

    Christ our Master has commanded us to baptise disciples rather than baptising rebels to make them disciples.

    “Jesus came and said to [the disciples], ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, ...read more

    Dealing With The Preacher-Eaters

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 24, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,793 views

    Sons of Diotrephes will arise among the churches. The people of God are responsible to recognise their presence and to expose their evil work.

    “I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who ...read more

     | 8,035 views

    How shall the people of God respond to the challenges and threats of contemporary life?

    ESTHER 4:1-17 DANGEROUS SHEEP “When Mordecai learned all that had been done, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and he cried out with a loud and bitter cry. He went up to the entrance of the king’s gate, for no one was allowed to ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,500 views

    One may either live for the moment, or live in view of eternity. Christ calls us to live for the coming glory of God.

    “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,984 views

    God calls us to judge ourselves before we worship, or face His judgement because we dishonoured Him. The judgement revolves around recognition of the Body of Christ, the people of God.

    1 CORINTHIANS 11:27-32 JUDGEMENT DAY “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 21,276 views

    An exploration of Jesus’ call to discipleship.

    “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?

    Act Like Men: Integrity

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 27, 2012
     | 5,298 views

    Whether in the pulpit or in the pew, mature believers act and speak with integrity.

    “My teaching is not mine, but His Who sent me. If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on My own authority. The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is ...read more

    Why Christ Is Insulted And Mohammed Is Honoured

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 25, 2014
     | 4,733 views

    A religion without a saviour that has suffered cannot endure insults to win those who mock. A religion that cannot bear insults must bear the impossible load of upholding the honour of one who did not give his life for others.

    “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them ...read more
