Love Is A Command Series

Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 30, 2009

Verse 12: ‘My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you’. Verse 17: ‘This is my command: Love each other’. One of the funniest comedies ever to find it’s way onto our tv screens, arguably, has to be Fawlty Towers. It starred John Cleese as the Torquay hotel owner Basil Fawlty, and ...read more

A New Day

Contributed by Andy Payne on Apr 30, 2009

A New Day!! INTRO: It’s a new day. Not just any new day, it is the first day for a new year. Only a week ago we had Christmas. And today we will look at the relevance of this baby Jesus who as a man so radically changed the world. The reading today demonstrates this and is found in Luke ...read more

Entering The Lord's Church

Contributed by Andy Brenton on Aug 26, 2014

Jesus said the only way to enter the kingdom is through being born of the water and of the Spirit (John 3:3-5). But what is the kingdom? It is the church (Matthew 16:18-19). Well, does the Lord have two ways for one to enter the church?

The Blessings Of Hardships

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019

Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more
