The Wrath Of God Series

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on May 24, 2006

We are embarrassed and uncomfortable about the concept of the "wrath of God." However, Revelation is good news for those victims who long for an end to evil’s reign and pray, "Come quickly, Lord."

I love this passage of Revelation -- I can’t read it without laughing outloud at one of the best memories of my ministry. Let us now hear the word of God from Revelation 16, beginning with verse 1. (Read Revelation 16:1-21) I suppose I should explain why I find this so uplifting. It all started ...read more

Going And Doing

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jun 22, 2011

Many sermons are quickly forgotten! The way to remember a sermon is to go and put it into practice. Jesus asks his disciples to go, make, baptise and teach. We're called to do the same.

I was looking at a website this morning called Kolij Misry (College Misery) which was discussing the so-called Last Lecture phenomenon. In other words, college lecturers were asking each other this question: If you had one last lecture, one last class to give, what would you spend your time on? ...read more

That's My King!

Jesus Is Exhausted Series

Contributed by David Smith on Aug 7, 2009

Jesus said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat! (Mark 6:31)

We’re in Mark chapter 6 this morning, dealing with a long and rather spectacular reading, where we see Jesus heal the sick, feed 5,000 hungry people with only a few loaves and fish, walk on the water, and preach to the lost - all in a day’s work, or so it seems! I’ve had days like that (indeed, ...read more

Narnia And An Angel Of Light Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 12, 2005

Why would C.S. Lewis use a "white witch" to depict the evil of Satan? And what can we learn from Satan’s attempt to deceive Jesus in the desert?

“As they were stoning Stephen, he called out, ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.’ And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, ‘Lord, do not hold this sin against them.’ And when he had said this, he fell asleep. “And Saul approved of his execution. “And there arose on that day a great ...read more

Where Should We As A Nation Put Our Trust?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 2, 2022

When a man is lost in the desert, he may experience a mirage. That is, he may look out over the sands, and in the distance see what appears to be a lake, shimmering in the sun.

His goal is to get to the lake and obtain water to satisfy his thirst. As he travels toward the “lake”, the lake seems to maintain it’s distance, or at some point just disappears. IT WAS A MIRAGE! Such an experience only brings disappointment and tragedy to the individual who believes the mirage is ...read more

A Still, Small Voice Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 27, 2013

Elijah is discouraged, but not for the reasons most people offer. It is popular to portray Elijah intimidated by vicious Jezebel and running scared in a cowardly retreat, yet his desert journey is not a sign of weakness.

Elijah enjoyed a triumphant showdown at Mount Carmel. As we consider the aftermath, we’re apt to focus on what appears to be weakness in Elijah. This is largely due to how this passage has been translated and interpreted. The Elijah seems to be a different man in the turn of a page. Is ...read more
