    Our Fight Is Not Carnal, It Is Spiritual PRO Sermon

    Trust God’s presence and providence when facing hostility or fear, relying on His protection and grace instead of reacting with anger or self-defense.

    Some of us walked in today weary, worried, and worn. You’ve been dodging spears you never asked for—sharp words at work, quiet tensions at home, old wounds that seem to whisper fresh threats. It feels like you’re playing the harp in Saul’s palace—trying to bring calm—while a javelin sits poised in ...read more

    I believe in Jesus Christ because: 1. He makes life work. 2. He is the only way. 3. I have experienced him. 4. He is Lord.

    It was a beautiful summer evening in Shadyside, Ohio, where I had taken the youth group down to the Ohio River for our meeting. It was an interesting time, not only because we had fun talking and eating by the fire, but also because we had unexpected visitors. From across the river, at ...read more

    Nathanael – Great Things Are Found In The Strangest Places Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 15, 2005
    based on 39 ratings
     | 21,259 views

    Nathanael, who is also known as Bartholomew, is confronted by a Saviour who seems to know so much – yet Nathanael is still allowed to be a disciple. We can also be disciples, despite the fact that we are known so well by Jesus.

    Message John 1:43-51 “Nathanael – great things are found in the strangest places” Great things can often be found in the strangest places. Maybe you have heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls. They are a large collection of manuscripts … many of them being copies of Old Testament books … which date back ...read more

    John Son Of Zebedee:- Thundering Character Gives Way To Loving Disciple. Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 16, 2005
    based on 35 ratings
     | 16,703 views

    When John begins his journey as a disciple he has a thunderous character which is very intolerant. Yet, because Jesus sees all disciples as “a work in progress” we can have the hope and assurance that we also can be disciples for Jesus.

    Message Luke 9:51-56 John son of Zebedee:- thundering character gives way to loving disciple. I don’t want to sound disrespectful to Jesus but, as we have systematically considered the disciples, we have found ourselves in a position where we have to wonder about the choice of disciples which ...read more

    Part 2 of a 6-part sermon. The faith of the Thessalonian Christians brought a thankfulness to God’s apostles, Paul, Silvanus & Timothy. What kind of faith soothes the apostle’s soul or give him absolute freedom in which to operate?

    A FAITH THAT SOOTHES THE SOUL-2—1Thessalonians 1:1-10 The faith of the Thessalonian Christians brought a thankfulness to God’s apostles, Paul, Silvanus & Timothy.

    Simon Peter – Sifted, Sustained, Serving. Series

     | 22,686 views

    We know more about the life of Peter than any other disciple which means we can trace his growth as a disciple. In a three section sermon we will see how Jesus helps His impulsive disciple to persevere, even when they fail.

    Simon Peter – sifted, sustained, serving. I recently went to a Men’s Shed Ministry where they were interviewing different men. One man told the story of his life. Which went like this:- Married – divorced. Married – divorce Married – divorce Found God Married first wife The end result is so ...read more

     | 18,037 views

    Sometimes we might find ourselves wondering why Jesus picked us as His disciples. When we look at Simon the Zealot we see that Jesus does not choose us according to what we can give, He chooses us because of His incredible grace.

    Matthew 10:4a Simon the Zealot – a redirected religious fanatic Currently Australia is in the middle of The Master Chef phenomena.

    Judas … The Fallen Disciple Series

    based on 35 ratings
     | 17,714 views

    Judas was given all the privileges of being a disciple, yet he still did not understand the need to totally submit to Jesus. As modern disciples we need to be sure that our heart has been captured by the Lord.

    Judas … the fallen disciple Does anyone here know a person called Judas? It doesn’t have to be a friend or relative ... just anyone. Someone you have met? I doubt we would have. In fact to test my theory I used the internet to look up the popularity of this name. This is the response of one ...read more

    Equal In Dignity, Diverse In Function Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,962 views

    In our worship, we are all equal in dignity, but, as Jesus gave different ministries to his disciples, in and out of worship, we differ in function and service; that is the meaning of hierarchy.

    Solemnity of Peter and Paul June 29, 2009 The readings for this solemnity help us to understand how it is that Christ left us–as a gift–a hierarchical Church. I was reading some fairly recent articles in Pastoral Music recently, and came across a rather angry one from a nun who was complaining ...read more

    A walk is a slow, steady, consistent movement from one place to another. A walk moves you from where you’ve been to where you’re going. At the end of Peter’s life, he looked back on his walk. As he looked back, what did he remember? What sustained him
