Promises Of Hope

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 3, 2001

Jesus coming is heralded by three messengers. We too are called to herald his coming to those we know.

It’s perhaps appropriate in the week when Harry Potter hit the big screens in Australia that we should be looking at this account of Luke 1.

Seeing Is Believing--Sometimes

Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Dec 8, 2001

How is it that the guards at the tomb had first hand experience of the power of the resurrection, and yet, they chose not to believe?

I was amused by a cartoon of two Roman soldiers guarding Jesus’ tomb on the first Easter morning. Each is holding a mug of tea in his hand, and the sun is just rising above the horizon. One is encouraging the other. "Cheer up, it’s Sunday morning. As I see it, we have one more day of guarding the ...read more

God's Epiphany: His Grace Revealed

Contributed by Edward Frey on Jan 4, 2002

God’s grace is revealed in his Word. His Word leads us to worship him with our lives.

Slaughter Of The Innocents

Contributed by Howard Tyas on Jan 7, 2002

Protecting the "newborn child" when the Herods of this world are threatened.

This story of Mary and Joseph’s flight into Egypt with their newborn child and Herod’s slaughter of the infants in Bethlehem is a story that is not preached on very much, if at all. And for obvious reasons. Who wants to spoil the beauty and the joy of the Christmas season with a story of the ...read more

Numbered, Weighed, And Given Away Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 27, 2002

Sermon for Deacon Ordination service; we obsess on things that do not matter and ignore things that do make a difference. Our sin is using holy things for our own pleasure, compounded with a failure to read the signs of the times.

We give too much of ourselves to things that do not last. We give too little of ourselves to things that will endure. It is easy to obsess on things that don’t matter. It is tempting to ignore things that really count. If something does not change that pattern, at the end of the day, we are ...read more
