Every Shut Eye Ain't Sleep, Every Goodbye Ain't Gone

Contributed by Bishop William Bryant Wilmore, Jr. on May 3, 2007

Text: 1 Corinthians 15:51-58 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this ...read more

A Picture Of Faith Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Aug 26, 2008

There are many definitions of fatih, but the woman of this text gives a clear demonstration of what makes great faith. We learn that faith is persistent and always relys upon God’s grace and mercy.

Matthew 15:21-28 “A Picture of Faith” INTRODUCTION What would you say if someone came up to you and asked you to define what “faith” is? Here is a short video clip of what some people said. Faith is difficult to define because it is an abstract concept. It is perhaps easier to describe faith ...read more

No Yachting In Heaven (Revelation 21:1-6)

Contributed by David Smith on Nov 14, 2007

For the believing man or woman, is not just some test, wherein if we pass we get to escape from this life into a better life. Rather it is a war in which we have been ordere...

Heaven: what is it, where is it, and are you in a hurry to get there? These are important questions, I believe, because I sense that there is a fair degree of confusion surrounding the Biblical concept of Heaven. Mind you, my daughter, Imogen, worked it all out some years ago, when my dad died. ...read more

Part I - Mary – The Voice Of Servanthood Series

Contributed by Eric Peloquin on Dec 15, 2007

This is partone in a series looking at some of the characters in the Christmas narrative and what they can teach us. Mary’s humble response to the Angel of the Lord is a powerful example of a young woman with the heart of a servant.

The Voices of Christmas Part I Mary – the Voice of Servanthood Mary may be the most controversial figure in the scriptures because of the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church regarding Mary. They teach that she is the co-redemptrix with Christ. They also teach that she was without sin and ...read more

We Thirst, Jesus Quenches

Contributed by Mike Cleveland on Apr 6, 2008

Jesus talks with a Samaritan woman who is "drinking" of the water of relationships. 6 men can’t satisfy her. But the 7th Man, the God-Man Jesus Christ perfectly satisfies!

Please open your Bibles to John chapter 4. We have a very interesting story here before us this morning, a story of Jesus speaking with a Samaritan woman at a well. This story is interesting because the Jews did not speak with Samaritans. Samaritans were called “half-breeds.” You see when Assyria ...read more

The Singing Sister Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 18, 2008

Miriam was a very Godly woman who had a special ministry of song in Israel. That didn’t make her perfect, but it did serve to help her even when she stumbled.

OPEN: (I had the people stand as we sang the "Star Spangled Banner") O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming? ...read more

Genesis 4 - Part 1 - How Can I Know That I Am Accepted? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 14, 2011

A woman I visited yesterday in hospital asked me "How do I know that I am ACCEPTED BY GOD?" In the OT Abel's offering was ACCEPTED and Cain's offering was not. Why?

Genesis 4 - "HOW CAN I KNOW THAT I AM ACCEPTED?" They had behaved badly in class but they were equally disruptive in the detention room, swearing, acting tough and defying anything I said with a smart comment. Unacceptable behaviour. I have never really had a problem with anger, but the closest I ...read more

All Is Well

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 5, 2014

Our common faith was expressed so aptly in the words of Dame Julian of Norwich - but these words were anticipated and exceeded by far by another great woman in today's Scripture passage.

ALL IS WELL. 2 Kings 4:18-26. In England’s original ‘second City’ - Norwich - there is a little church named after an all-but-forgotten Saint Julian, where worship is still conducted to this very day. Yet the church is not remembered for its patron, but for a certain 14th century recluse who ...read more

In his encounter with the woman at the well, Jesus calls us to confess our guilt and shame, to receive eternal, abundant life, and to share that life with others, inviting them, too, to know the Savior.

John 4:5-42 Found Out and Fulfilled What if God set up a video projector right here in the foyer and began to show all of your greatest sins on the screen, for everyone to see?

Stubborn In Spirit, Persistent In Prayer

Contributed by Kimberly Belken on Sep 27, 2020

The Biblical woman of Hannah has much to teach us about prayer and trust in God. We learn to pound on the doors of heaven and that we can trust God to hear and answer us.

There was something fundamentally wrong with her. There had to be. It was the only explanation for Hannah’s inability to carry a child. Her husband, Elkanah’s second wife was able to conceive and bear children, a fact that she made sure to rub in every chance she got. Therefore, it had to be ...read more
