    Jesus’ parable about the rejection of the Savior

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: In 1858 the Illinois legislature—using an obscure statute—sent Stephen A. Douglas to the U.S. Senate instead of Abraham Lincoln, although Lincoln had won the popular vote. When a sympathetic friend asked Lincoln how he felt, he said, “Like the boy who stubbed his toe: I ...read more

    In the story of the cursed fig tree Jesus is teaching his disciples that he expects more from us than just the ordinary. So what if it wasn’t fig season, if you are showing yourself to have fruit then you should have fruit. The Christian life is more tha

    Matthew 21:33-46 The Parable Of The Vineyard

    Father Dave’s Sermon on Matthew 21:33-46 & the East Timorese Martyrs. The nature of God, the price he’s willing to pay for His ’Vineyard’ and the wait for the justice that will eventually take place.

    Wednesday is the feast of ’the Saints and Martyrs of Asia’. It is a tragic irony that on the very day it is celebrated, more East Timorese martyrs will probably be added to their number! A Protestant Christian leader has been killed. The Communion of Churches in Indonesia has confirmed that the ...read more

    The Pharisee & The Tax-Collector - A Sermon On Luke 18

     | 7,541 views

    Father Dave’s sermon on the parable of the tax collector and the Parisee. Father Dave challenges the conventional understanding of the Pharisee.

    Luke 18 - Jesus told them another joke. I know your translation says ’parable’ rather than ’joke’, but ’joke’ is not a bad translation. We don’t tell parables nowadays, we tell jokes, and they’re pretty similar - both have punch lines, both can help you to see life in a different way, both can ...read more

    This sermon touches on what members of a congregation - the sheep - are to look for in a shepherd and how they are to respond to a faithful one.

    April 17, 2005 John 10:1-10 1 “I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. 3 The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his ...read more

    This message is based on parable of the vineyard and the wicked tenants.

    Mark 12:1 (NLT) Then Jesus began telling them stories: "A man planted a vineyard, built a wall around it, dug a pit for pressing out the grape juice, and built a lookout tower. Then he leased the vineyard to tenant farmers and moved to another country. The Master Plan  The vineyard ...read more

    A Change Will Do You Good

     | 7,481 views

    This talks about the need for change in the church. Jesus saves, but the church sure doesn’t. Can we change our lives without embracing heresy?

    Ecclesiastes 10:10 – A Change Will Do You Good (NOTE: Most of my thinking for this flows from Brian MacLaren’s book "A New Kind of Christian". Some of this was really quite hard to say. Use with caution.) Pastor Rodney Buchanan shares a thought with us: We used to sing a song entitled, “Give ...read more

    Luke 16:19-20 (NLT) Jesus said, "There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed and who lived each day in luxury. [20] At his door lay a diseased beggar named Lazarus. A Story of Two Men  There are many divisions amongst people – Racial – Socio-economic – Cultural  A ...read more

    Why did Jesus think forgiveness is so important

    NR 11-09-05 Story: An atheist was sitting under a tree one day smugly thinking: "God, I know you don’t exist - but it you did - you must really be stupid. You created a huge oak tree to carry this little acorn and such a puny plant to carry a marrow. ...read more

    Committed To Tenant Work

     | 4,929 views

    The reason is that we, the church, are those to whom the vineyard was given and we need to be committed to tenant work. We are now those to whom the vineyard is rented and God expects returns!

    COMMITTED TO TENANT WORK LUKE 20:9-19 READ LUKE 20:9-19 I. THE SITUATION The situation that Jesus describes in the opening lines of his parable is probably not a situation that the people He is teaching are unfamiliar with. There have always been men who build and then move on. Owners of farms ...read more
