    The opposition then and now wants signs from Christ before they can proclaim Him as their Lord. He refuses to give any more signs of who He is because He has given all the signs that are necesssary for anyone to beleive in Him.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 16, 2014
     | 4,766 views

    Here we look at the Day of the Lord; it is a frightening time but it is related to the Rapture, and this brings us good news for us who are in Christ; and subtly it is a sermon for Evangelism. Read on and be encouraged!

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 16th November 2014 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). Welcome Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Today we continue our study into ...read more

    The Apostle Peter directs believers in Jesus in some important attitudes as we move through our lives. He instructs us to understand the end, be intentional how we use our time, and encourages us in the practice of prayer.

    The Ten Commandments Part 11 Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Aug 12, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,524 views

    Part 11 of this series discusses why this series was preached. We need to return to holiness by understanding that through Jesus Christ we were made holy and now it's up to us to live out who we are in Him.

    The Ten Commandments Part 11 Scriptures: First Peter 1:13-16; Matthew 7:3-5; Jude 20-23 This message is the conclusion of my series on the Ten Commandments. I believe God led me to do this series because being a Christian today has been so watered down that it does not carry the meaning that it ...read more

    Purposeful Living For Perilous Times Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,177 views

    Because the end is near… pray, love, and serve.

    Honestly, many of us are little afraid of closely examining the Bible’s message on the future. If we focus on the end times too long, we are afraid of turning into a guy walking around the city with a sandwich board yelling about judgment and the end of time. We easily get confused when reading ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 30, 2022
     | 1,388 views

    What is the difference between God’s wrath and God’s discipline? We look into tribulation, persecution and discipline, and look at 4 reasons Christians can have difficulties. Remember this – godly living produces persecution. Trees standing against the wind have the strongest trunks.

    MESSAGE 8 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5 – PERSECUTION, DISCIPLINE AND TRIBULATION; WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? – PART 2 (Verse 9) REVISION FROM PART 1 We have been examining 1Thessalonians 5:9 and looking at the wrath of God.

    When Tragedy Strikes- God Answers

    based on 107 ratings
     | 7,726 views

    A response sermon to the September 11th WOrld Trade Center attack based on Luke 13:1-5. It deals with both tragedy and terrorism.

    To paraphrase a past President, Tuesday, September 11, 2001 will forever go down in history as a day of infamy. I remember watching as a child the funeral of John F. Kennedy. I remember as a young college student watching the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. The bombings of embassies, the ...read more

    This message is an encouragement in practically obeying Eph.2:5 and having the same attitude as Christ Jesus; it is both encouraging and challenging.

    Christlike Attitudes
 Attitudes are flexible mental and emotional outlooks; alterable dispositions based on how you think and feel about something or someone. 
 They can be good or bad and will produce either good or bad fruit.

    Rom 12:3-8

    TOO BIG NOT TO FALL (ROMANS 12;3-8) What is a church? The church is not a place but a people, an organism and not an organization, a community and not a club, a body and not a building. It’s more “who” than “what” or “where.” It’s been said: “I ...read more

    Salvation is the greatest moment in any individual's life, but we must realize that salvation is not an event at a single moment in time. Salvation is the beginning of a life-long journey with the Lord.

    Man Up

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jun 15, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 29,980 views

    In the closing of st Corinthians, Paul lays out some very practical advice on Christian living, calling for Christian men to “man up”. While his focus is primarily toward men it is also great advice for anyone within the Body of Christ.

    Man Up! 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” William Jones, captain of the Marines on the 28-gun frigate the Providence, advertised in the March 20, 1779 Providence (R.I.)

    We may imagine that we could never resist a lion. But lions will cross our path and Peter tells us to resist them.

    [N.B. Earlier in the service we had a short presentation on Rosa Parks.] Today we’re continuing our series of ‘Great Messages of Encouragement’. We’ve had four talks so far. We’ve remembered that God will be with us. That he will strengthen those who wait on him. That there’s a glory to come ...read more

    Living Like There’s No Tomorrow

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 22, 2023
     | 3,183 views

    We have a high life expectancy; we've got plenty of time. So Peter’s warning that the end is near is shocking. Peter speaks as if this truth ought to change our thoughts and actions! Peter’s living life by a different paradigm!

    LIVING LIKE THERE’S NO TOMORROW 1 Pet. 4:7-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. One day at the Church, Father O’Malley answered the phone, “Hello?” A voice said, “Is this Father O’Malley?” “Yes, it is.” “This is the IRS.
