Let No-One Put Asunder

Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 5, 2023

Christian marriage is sacred. This short sermon describes what the biblical definition of marriage is and what the biblical grounds for divorce are. God hates divorce so therefore divorce should only be the very last option in any marriage.

Now in this message, I’m talking about the biblical definition and Christian view of marriage, not the secular view and what today’s society wants ...read more

Christianity And Sex Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Oct 28, 2008

Sex has become a cultural obsession but the picture of sex that our culture paints is a cheap counterfeit of God’s design. What we have done is dehumanized ourselves and taken something which was meant to be sacred, wonderful and beautiful and changed it

On The Third Day

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Mar 2, 2023

Today, we are going to open the Sacred Scriptures of Almighty God and relive the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today, we are going to remind ourselves of the truth of the Resurrection. Today, we are going back to the third day.

The resurrection story is captured in three words, "He is risen". Christianity rises or falls on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, our faith is a colossal fraud, it's a masterful hoax. If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, the songs ...read more

Exodus 10 - No, I’m Not Interested In Partial Obedience! I Call The Shots! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 25, 2009

Matthew 5 - Part 13 - Am I Going To Hell For Calling Someone A Fool? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 3, 2010

Does calling your brother a fool make you guilty of hell. Is this what Jesus means? The NASB softens it down by adding the words "guilty ENOUGH TO GO into the fiery hell." but literally it says "whoever says ‘Fool’ will be sent to fiery hell"

Matthew 5 - Part 13 - AM I GOING TO HELL FOR CALLING SOMEONE A FOOL? I’ve been thinking about "Murder". Not committing murder but the subject of "murder". Jesus uses "murder" as a teaching unit on the mountain for His disciples. But He takes the view that it’s what happens on the inside that ...read more
