    Paul is in the worst physical condition of his life, but he is in the best spiritual condition. This letter to the Philippines was written from a Roman jail following the perilous journey mentioned in Acts 27. Still, Paul is confident, positive, and committed to Jesus.

    Obscuring God

     | 3,430 views

    We need to see the Lord clearly. We need to see the Lord always before our faces. The only problem is that many of us are spiritually ADD and we allow the things of this world to obscure the face of the Lord. May the Lord help us to clear those away!

    Acts 2:22-25 (Let people find this while you say the following) In these verses Peter is in the middle of the recorded part of his sermon to those who were attracted to the sound of the might, rushing wind and to those proclaiming the wonders of God in foreign languages even though they were all ...read more

    I started looking through my sermons in progress and came across this one I started in 2018. Little did I know that six years later that I would be speaking often against false prophets marking them as the Word commands. Indeed, I had other issues to deal with for a long time and just shook my ...read more

    How often do we proclaim God who is King eternal, invisible, and Only God?

    We continue to worship our Lord by growing our faith in Him by hearing His Word. The Letters to Timothy were written by the Apostle Paul called by God to give instructions.

    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.

    I Believe in the Holy Spirit John 14:16-20 The Apostle’s Creed is divided into three major parts.

    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?

    It was a beautiful summer evening in Shadyside, Ohio, where I had taken the youth group down to the Ohio River for our meeting.

    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

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

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 16, 2005
    based on 35 ratings
     | 16,598 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

    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.

    Judas … The Fallen Disciple Series

    based on 35 ratings
     | 17,634 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

    A message focusing on Judas’ betrayal and the need for repentance. Since Jesus knows the secrets of our hearts, He could blast us. Instead, He uses the weapon of love.

    Sermon Notes “Jesus’ Weapon of Choice” Matthew 26:20-25 Introduction: There are some biblical names we just do not give to our kids. Others are quite common.
