The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Like A Fishing Net Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 18, 2010

This is my fourth sermon in the series and looks at how we are to be productive as we act as God's kingdom here.

It seems strange to mix the sacred with the everyday, to describe the eternal with the ordinary, the infinite with the finite. And yet that is exactly what Jesus did when looking for a way to illustrate the Kingdom of Heaven, a treasure in a field, a merchant looking for a pearl the tiniest of ...read more

The Promised Kingdom - Abram - Man Of Faith Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007

If you’ve been here for the last couple of sermons in this series you may remember that one of the things we noted in the account of Adam & Eve was that they were called to live by faith in God’s word alone.

The Partial Kingdom 2 - Three Kings Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007

Good leadership is more than just giftedness. It also involves faithfulness to God, a right focus and direction for God’s people.

If you go to the book shop and browse the shelves in the management area, chances are you’ll find a host of books focusing on leadership as the critical factor in the success of a business. And when you think about it, it makes sense. If the person at the top is a good leader then the organisation ...read more

By Roy Hamer Have you ever watched a Horror movie? You know, I’m not big on horror movies, in fact most movies I get a little bored. It’s easy for me to go to bed midway through a movie if I don’t like it. If it’s a Horror movie if I don’t go to bed I’m sure to leave the room once or twice during ...read more

The Present Kingdom - The King Has Come Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007

Jesus comes in fulfillment of the prophecies of a new king who would restore the Kingdom of God and with the means to achieve that end.

The Proclaimed Kingdom - Treasure In Clay Vessel Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007

While we wait for Jesus to return, our task is to cooperate with God in his transforming work within us, to listen and obey. And it’s to continue to share the gospel with those around us; to share the glory of God with them.

One of the things I love about travel is going to places that have a history behind them. To visit Rome, to see the Coliseum or the Roman Forum, to walk on paving stones that are 2000 years old, that maybe even Paul walked on when he was brought before Caesar. Last year I preached in a church that ...read more

Contributed by Herbert Armstrong Bosantog on Jan 17, 2013

TITHE is the KEY for LONG-LASTING ABUNDANCE and TRUE PROSPERITY! How much more if Jesus CHRIST became the TITHE for us? There shall be JOY and PEACE in EVERY ASPECT of your LIFE (School, Job, Business, Career, FAMILY, etc...). And it shall STAND FOREVER.

The FULFILLMENT of the KINGDOM of God in the MYSTERY of TITHE: “The KEY to a LONG-LASTING ABUNDANCE and TRUE PROSPERITY” Jesus did come to FULFILL not just a "PART" but the "WHOLE" of ALL that is WRITTEN in the LAW of Moses, the PSALMS and the PROPHETS.

A Frightening Vision Of A Present Day Kingdom

Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Mar 28, 2012

Here is a highly controversial passage, yet for the bible-believer, it is really quite clear. There will be a kingdom and a fierce and powerful king, but he will choose the wrong opponent and be destroyed.

Passage: Daniel 8:1-27 Intro: When we run across a highly technical and controversial passage like this… 1. we can’t figure out the “so what?” 2. that quickly goes to “who cares” 3. God has a purpose, so don’t miss it while we dive into this ...read more
