Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 6, 2023

God Says We Are All Like Sheep Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Jul 2, 2024

God here is liking each of us to sheep. We are all like sheep, there are no exceptions. Even the most intelligent person is likened to a sheep.

In verses one to five, the focus was on the suffering servant, but here in verse six, the focus shifts ever so temporarily to all mankind. In verses 1 to 5 we see the prophet uses the word “He” referring to the Suffering Servant, but in the first half of verse 6 the word changes to “We all” and ...read more

Contributed by Steve Smith on Jan 31, 2010

This message helps the church ask why we do the acts of mercy we do? What is our motive? Last in a series of 4, we are reminded that all opportunities of service are to be done as though we are doing them for the Master Himself!

Daniel's Vision Of The Ram, The Goat, And The Little Horn Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 22, 2022

What we will see in this chapter is a clear picture of ruler's denying the Lord and trampling people underfoot, both believers and unbelievers.

Tonight we enter into chapter 8 in the book of Daniel. At this point in history, Israel had lost everything and were exiled into Babylon. God knew that His people needed some kind of encouragement. So, from this point on, chapters 8 through 12, the Scripture was originally written in Hebrew. ...read more

Sermon # 50 - Which Side Are You On? Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 19, 2025

As Jonah fretted and fumed that God withheld His judgement on the people of Nineveh, God saw a people who were ignorant and could not decipher between right and wrong. God calls the church to disciple their members, and grow them in maturity so all will be found in God’s eternal Kingdom.

Let us thank the Lord for the many lessons we learnt from the life of Jonah. We have come to the final part of this study. When I began this series, I did not expect that it would be such a long one, and I am grateful to the Lord for all that we have learned in this process, and all glory to God ...read more

The Extraordinary Goodness

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on May 2, 2024

We should not equate the Goodness of Jesus Christ, who is fully and truly God, with our ordinary understanding of what is good. As the Divine Shepherd, then, what made His Goodness extraordinary?

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees ...read more
