The Valley Of Dry Bones

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000

Israel was recalled to her faith by Ezekiel’s Vision of the Dry Bones, where God breathed his Spirit into lifeless forms, which came to life.

THE VALLEY OF DRY BONES Some people are keen on doing crosswords. There were two people sitting on a park bench discussing a clue to a crossword. There were 7 letters to enter in two words - one of 3 letters and the other of 4. The clue was "The beginning of the universe". What do you think was the ...read more

The Question Of Balance

Contributed by David Richardson on Mar 2, 2005

Picture youself sitting in a small boat. Lean far to one side by following some foreign doctrine, the boat turns over, lean too far to the other side in not doing anything, the boat turns over. Balance is needed.

Title: The Question of Balance Scripture: Acts 17:1-15 Have you ever wondered just why it is you have a little toe? I mean really, think about it! It doesn’t do anything but just sit there.

Is Jesus Christ The Lord Of This Church? Series

Contributed by Douglas Bryan on Aug 1, 2005

I once saw a package of plastic shark teeth that were labled as "genuine imitation shark teeth." I wonder if we aren’t guilty of being genuine imitation Christians at times. As Paul begins his letter he points out that the Colossians were 3D Christians-

Living Life In The Face Of Death

Contributed by Nathan Eyland on Jan 23, 2005

A look at life in the face of inevitable death.

While preparing for this sermon I read a number of sermons by some older preachers. One of them commented on the fact that much of what was taboo when he was younger was now brazenly displayed on T-shirts for all to see. However he suggested that something that once was not taboo - death - is ...read more

Christ The Promise Of Glory Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 7, 2005

The gospel we have to share is a message of both warning and of great hope. It’s a message that proclaims Jesus Christ, the promise of Glory.

There’s a paradox here. The message we proclaim as Christians is a glorious message. It’s a message that shines like a bright light in the darkness. It’s a message that Paul describes in Romans 1 as the power of God for salvation. Yet the means by which this message is presented is so often ...read more

Do You See Anything?

Contributed by Stephen Sheane on Apr 13, 2010

Jesus asks "Who do you say I am?" Like the blind man Jesus wants to heal us so that we can see the full truth.

DO YOU SEE ANYTHING? A few years ago I went to Israel for a conference. I had a day off and wanted to get out and see the sights but I had very little money and did not know how to go about booking a bus tour. I figured I would just go down and sit at the front desk of the hotel and wait for one ...read more

24.16 The Danger Of Judging Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Oct 14, 2007

We’ve all been quoted Jesus’ words "Do not Judge" but what does that actually mean?

He was a Godly man. Even his critics acknowledge that, they may have disagreed with his techniques and thought he was a little flashy but he was definitely a man of God. His message from God was one of no compromise, and his moral standards were the highest around. And not only did he uphold the ...read more

Walk This Way

Contributed by W F on Nov 25, 2007

What Jesus reveals about the future through this parable ought to change the way you walk through this life.

In his Parable of the Talents, Jesus gives us a glimpse of the future, a glimpse at what will happen on the last day of world history and the first day of eternity. This glimpse at the first day of eternity is significant because most of the world – and many Believers too – have lost their eternal ...read more

Jesus Never Called Shotgun

Contributed by Kirk Wannop on Jan 17, 2008

Jesus tells us to give up the seat of honour so His grace can flow through our humility

Jesus Never Called Shotgun Luke 14:1-14 Jan 20th, 2008 I have to confess that when I hear someone call “shotgun” it gets my hackles up a bit.
