The God Of Power Series

Sermon On Forgiveness From The Heart

Contributed by William Meakin on Aug 3, 2025

Forgiveness is the action or process of absolution, whether that be at the mercy of God, or from one human being to another.

To God Be The Glory Series

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jul 10, 2021

Power and glory belong only to God. He himself calls his Church, and rules, sanctifies and preserves it through his Word and his Spirit. Therefore, in return for the goodness bestowed upon us, we ought to thank and praise God, directing all our efforts to the recognition and glory of his name.

Our Prayers, Our Passions & Our Praise The position is that the end of all things is at hand. The miserable destruction of the nation foretold by our Saviour is now very near; consequently, the time of their persecution and our sufferings is but very short.

Ready Too Late

Contributed by Paul Robinson on May 17, 2023

Is it possible to "miss the boat" when it comes to doing something for God? That's exactly what happened to Israel when it was time to enter the Promised Land.

The twelve spies were sent into the Promised Land as a reconnaissance team. This was the big day, the day Israel had been waiting for. This was the reason God brought them out of Egypt and why they made the long trek through the wilderness. The time had come for Israel to go into the land of ...read more

Sin is our greatest problem as human beings. Only confessing our sin to God and asking for forgiveness will help us.

Measure Upon Measure – Death – The Restoration Of God - Part 9 (Section 1) Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 5, 2025

In this fifth consequence of Adam’s sin which is death, we take a comprehensive look into what death means and examine all aspects. There are 5 sections in this and section 1 opens the subject up with a good look at the Garden of Eden and the entry of sin through Adam and Eve.

Tithing For Believers - Under Grace Or Law?

Contributed by Graham Kettle on Feb 25, 2024

Tithing can be a much misunderstood and often much abused subject as I have seen from so many televangelists. What is Biblical, New Testament tithing? An obligation under the Law or an act of grace? For me Scripture is clear. See if you agree.

TITHING FOR BELIEVERS - UNDER GRACE OR LAW? One favourite text for promoting tithing is: Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to ...read more
