    Lust Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,232 views

    Lust was considered to be the least deadly of sins though when you look at the church’s discussion of sexuality, you would think that it would be much higher. But it wasn’t. Our sexual desire is a gift from God. The problem is that when we change sexual i

They came to the Pearly Gates of Heaven and were greeted by St. Peter. "I know you are all men of the cloth," said St. Peter, "but as a matter of protocol I need ...read more

    Lord, Transform My Tongue!

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 31, 2025
     | 533 views

    God transforms the tongue of His saint, equipping each one to speak he truth in love, encouraging the weary and glorifying the Saviour.

    “The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary. Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.” [1] Peter had a tongue that once spoke foolishly as he cursed and denied Jesus. Yet, that ...read more

    The Bible forms the foundation of our faith, and if that foundation isn't sound, your faith could crumble. But why would that be true, and what happens if we don't accept that idea?

    ILLUS: A famous Christian writer told of doing a lectureship at Ohio State University. As he was being driven to the lecture, he passed the new Wexner Art Center and the driver said, “This is a new art building for the university.

    A Son Worth Waiting For - A Christmas Message Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 6, 2021
     | 5,170 views

    2 Samuel 7 is a key chapter in the overall plotline of the Bible. The significance of this chapter lies in the promise God makes to David. God promises to build a house, and this promise is called the Davidic Covenant, or David’s Covenant.

    The story of Christmas is splashed across the pages of your Bible long before Mary, Joseph, Wise Men, and the shepherds arrive. We’re exploring the promises made a millennium ahead of Christmas, and it’s these promises that serve as a bedrock granite underneath the holiday season. 2 Samuel 7 is ...read more

    “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘give me a drink’, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water” John 4:10.

    Theme: The Living Water Text: Ex. 17:3-7; Jn. 4:5-15 We are just about to enter the rainy season and many of us especially at the Covenant Presbyterian Church are worried because of the many flooding that we have experienced here.

    Through the grace given by the Holy Spirit, ordinary people become extraordinarily equipped. Through the empowering of the Spirit, the word of God equips us to enrich, edify and equip people to serve the Lord with effectiveness according to the gifts give

    This continues a series on the book of Romans. An extreme gift of grace calls for an extreme response. Paul calls us to love our enemies. Sometimes God’s grace calls us to places we’d rather not go.

    This summer we have been traveling the Roman Road Of Salvation with Paul. We began by hearing that there is nothing we can do to earn God’s grace. We will never merit the love God has for us. No matter how good we are, or how bad we can be, God still loves us. Our wrong doings separates us from ...read more

    For Christians, Thanksgiving is a day to acknowledge that everything we have is a gift from God, & to lift our hearts in thanksgiving to Him. But we're not very good at saying "Thank you," are we? .

    Funeral sermon for Michael Ellis, avid golfer and new believer. God has done definite things in Michael’s life, has provided a definite plan of salvation, and has given the definite gift of eternal life.

    I know almost nothing about the game of golf. I do know that Michael Ellis was an avid golfer. Even there in the hospice it seemed to comfort him to watch golf on television. I’m not sure he appreciated it when I compared looking TV golf to watching the grass grow. He laughed, but I’m not sure ...read more

     | 3,330 views

    For Epiphany: As Richard Foster wrote about "Money, Sex, and Power", is it possible the Wise Men’s gifts are warnings to Jesus and His family about these things? Complete joy comes from what Jesus did with these issues.

    Who we are and what we have are two entirely different things, but we confuse them. We insist on identifying who we are by what we have. Who we are and what we have are not the same thing. We are more by far than the material goods we possess. And yet everywhere we are identified by our stuff. ...read more

    We have a fundamental need and desire to be in relationship to other people. God knew that and so God gives us the gift of companionship and help from each other. You and I were created for relationship with each other.
