    This is a sermon i wrote around the anniversary of my mentor’s death a couple of years ago, it’s a little personal, but hopefully someone can use it.

    Country singer Tim McGraw had a great song a couple of years ago called, "Live Like You Were Dying". The song was written in relation to his father Tug, and his diagnosis of cancer which led to his death a couple of years ago. He brings up a very interesting point in this song…what would you do ...read more

    16th in a series from Ecclesiastes. The fact that we are going to die ought ot impact the way that we live.

    Last Saturday, a 50-1 long shot named Mine That Bird won the 135th Kentucky Derby, surging all the way from last place to first on the final turn and the home stretch. This was an improbable victory for a horse that was purchased last year for only $9,500, a real bargain compared to the millions ...read more

    The Message To Sardis: The Church With Reputation But Dying Series

    Sardis had the reputation of being a highly respected church, but it was dead and lifeless.

    Have you ever been in a church that was dead or dying? How does that happen? Usually it happens when a church gets satisfied with itself, with keeping things the way they have always been. This is usually a church that rests on its laurels and its past history, that revels in what used to be? ...read more

    Bowling Alone: Dying For Lack Of Hope

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,488 views

    The aloneness that has become a hallmark of our modern age presents a great opportunity for the people of God to present the message of life. As Christ calls people to rest in Him, the churches must echo that call.

    “Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” [1] Robert Putnam raised a red flag for people living in ...read more

    Exploring the final words of Christ, this sermon illustrates how we should live and die in faith, akin to a child falling asleep in their father's arms.

    Today, we gather to reflect on the last seven sayings of Jesus Christ. These profound statements not only reveal how Jesus lived but also teach us how to face death with childlike trust in our Heavenly Father. In His final moments on the cross, Jesus demonstrated the ultimate act of surrender and ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Come To This Earth And A Die As A Common Criminal?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 20, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,122 views

    Why did Jesus come to this earth as a tiny baby, a die as a common criminal. What hope do we have for the future knowing that God himself was innocently crucified. This sermon is subtly hard hitting, giving hope for the future.

    Note: The hymns "The sermon King" and "I cannot tell" to the tune Danny Boy are perfect for the sermon. Introduction One of the greatest yet strangest of stories in the bible is that of almighty God coming into this world and living as we do. ... And there is an even stranger story is that he did ...read more

    A sermonette on Judgement and forgiveness, what should we do? It pains us to forgive, it pains us not too, much easier to judge someone than forgive them?

    In the book of Luke Chapter 23:34-46 New International Version (NIV) We read about what could possibly three cases of forgiveness: 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[a] And they divided up his clothes by casting lots. 35 The people ...read more
