    Ordinary Proper 18: What is the relationship between saving faith and works of righteousness? Sometimes an inability to distinguish can create confusion. But we look to Saint James to answer the question!

    There are vocations that endeavor to deal in certainty. Take engineering: I’m not certain that I would feel comfortable driving over a bridge designed by a person who simply ‘felt’ that their design would have integrity. I want somebody who will crunch the numbers and who understands beam and ...read more

    A sermon that highlights that God’s number one priority in everyone’s life is to give them His love.

    This week I believe we had no choice but to talk about love. What does love mean for us? How does love fit into the picture of God and us. Love is a strange thing. It can lead to some strange behaviours. This week people all over the world over indulged in flowers, chocolates, dinners, gifts ...read more

     | 4,249 views

    A church worth talking about is a church that finishes what they started.

    It is related that a man once came to Charles H. Spurgeon, and asked that great preacher if his church was a pure church. He said he was looking for a pure church that he might belong to it. Mr. Spurgeon said that he did not know about his own church; but he did know that there were many good ...read more

    Absalom, Amnon And Tamar Series

    Contributed by John Dixon on Oct 7, 2018
     | 8,454 views

    The tragic story of Amnon, Tamar and Absalom highlights the problems associated with David's neglected justice, and Absalom implementing his own brand of justice, creating chaos and destruction in the process.

    2 Samuel 13 (NIV) 2 Amnon became so obsessed with his sister Tamar that he made himself ill. 12 “She said to him. “ Don’t do this wicked thing. 13 What about me? Where could I get rid of my disgrace? And what about you? You would be like one of the wicked fools in Israel. Please speak to the king; ...read more

    The Hypocritical Argument Series

    Contributed by Ron Henson on Jun 26, 2015
     | 4,169 views

    The most common argument against faith is the existence of suffering. If there was a God, there would be no suffering. This argument is hypocritical in that we choose suffering. God gave us the choice, and we chose suffering rather than bliss.

    Suffering Romans 1:28 Introduction: 1. Atheists love to play this card, it is their trump card • The Problem of Evil takes the following form: A God that is all powerful would be able to prevent evil and suffering. A God that is all knowing would know that evil and suffering happen. A God ...read more

    The Fourth Word From The Cross: "Eloi, Eloi, Lema Sabachthani?" Series

    Contributed by Ravin Caldera on Apr 18, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 24,494 views

    This is a reflection on the forth word from the cross, which is a very difficult passage for exposition. These words give a deep expression of faith ("my God, my God"), universal cry for justice ("why") and, words of deep mystery ("have forsaken me").

    And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34). As Mark stated, about Jewish ninth hour or in our time three o'clock there was darkness over the whole land—out of darkness and despair ...read more

    As a nation, state, and people, we know debt. In Romans 13, Paul calls us to have one more debt: love one another.

    Being in debt is never fun, nor is it easy. As a country, we know what it is like to be in debt. Our national debt is astronomical. It is roughly 19 trillion dollars. If you were to break that down, that would be $61,000 per citizen, or $165,000 per tax payer. This debt is also not going down ...read more
