  • Get Yourself A Real God

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 16, 2012
     | 7,919 views

    Idolatry has been the threat to the people of God from earliest days. God calls us to destroy the idols of the heart and worship Him, the True and Living God.

    “Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.” [1] Churches in the western world are pathetic caricatures of the once ...read more

  • Diversity In The Church

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 11, 2012
     | 5,801 views

    Leadership in the congregation is to reflect the Lord’s choice rather than seeking diversity as defined in the world.

    “The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, ...read more

  • The Devil Is A Boring Preacher

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 23, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,984 views

    The message of the preacher blessed by God will disturb the casual, even as it glorifies the Master. Contrary to every expectation, the message presented by the servants of the devil is boring, generating no excitement and no reaction.

    “When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to ...read more

  • Signs Of Christ’s Return Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 4, 2010
    based on 9 ratings
     | 20,260 views

    We know that Christ’s return is imminent. The Bible contains prophecies that could not have been fulfilled until this generation. It’s encouraging to think that we appear to be living in the generation that will ultimately witness the most important and e

    Opening illustration: video on ‘Signs of the second coming of Christ’ Introduction: Shortly before His crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus Christ delivered a major prophecy of end-time events, recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. He was asked by His disciples: “When will these things be? ...read more

  • Honouring Our Parents

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 14, 2017
     | 7,158 views

    Christian children are instructed to honour their parents. This is one of the few direct commands to children in the congregation. I fear this command is neglected among the faithful today. The message is a study of what the Apostle wrote.

    “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honour your father and mother’ (this is the first commandment with a promise), ‘that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.’” [1] The last days are described in frightful detail in Paul’s final letter to ...read more

  • Destination Bethlehem: A Grave Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 19, 2015
     | 5,679 views

    God's purpose of salvation of fallen man is revealed in the first days of the life of the baby Jesus.

    “There was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he ...read more

  • Perfection In Paradise Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,916 views

    An unusual Advent series focusing on how we arrived t our present condition so we will know why it was necessary for Messiah to be born in order to give His life.

    “God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’ So, God created man in his own image, in the ...read more

  • What To Do About Cranks

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 17, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,796 views

    Divisive people, like divisive doctrine, harms the people of God. Failure to address divisive people ensures that the church is hindered in her labours.

    “As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.” Harry Ironsides was quoted as saying, “The brightest light draws the most moths.” He was referring to cranks, ...read more

  • Serve One Another

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 13, 2012
     | 6,185 views

    The freedom we have received in Christ imposes responsibility to serve one another.

    “You were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ But if you bite and devour one another, watch out ...read more

  • The Devil In Pew Number Seven

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 1, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,486 views

    Pastors are to fulfil the ministry God has assigned with the help of strong, godly leaders from within the congregation.

    “Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own ...read more

  • Act Like Men

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 14, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,256 views

    The people of God are engaged in a great battle. If we will engage the enemy and advance the cause of Christ, we need to heed the commands issued in this text.

    “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” The Christian Faith is a woman’s religion; and I’m glad this is so! Historically, women were excluded from religion. In the pagan religions extant at the time the Master presented Himself as a ...read more

  • I Am The Life Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 4, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,138 views

    When Jesus presents Himself as "The Life," What does that mean for us as followers?

    JOHN 14: 6 JESUS, THE GREAT I AM: I AM THE LIFE “Jesus said … ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life.’” M any exist; few live. Even among the churches of our Lord, this statement holds true. Reflecting as we do, the society within which we are immersed, we Christians have become almost ...read more

  • The Mystery Of Godliness

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 6, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,142 views

    The message of Christ and His work on our behalf is a mystery of God. In fact, Paul speaks of this as "the mystery of godliness."

    “Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.” [1] Mysteries are a favourite genre in books, movies and television ...read more

  • Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 23, 2013
     | 12,488 views

    When Christ calls us to be with Him, He honours us. He does not treat us as we deserve should we fail Him, but He is glorified in raising us up and employing us to His glory.

    “Jesus went with [his disciples] to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to [them], ‘Sit here, while I go over there and pray.’ And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, ‘My soul is very sorrowful, ...read more

  • We Cannot Worship Without Gratitude

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 11, 2015
     | 8,012 views

    Gratitude is required if we will worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.

    "You have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the ...read more
