    The Biblical MAndate to Forgive

    This morning I will be bringing forth a message on "forgiveness." I was ready to prepare a message from 1 Corinthians 2, however, as I prayed, I sensed that Spirit would have me preach on Forgiveness. As Christians, we have so much to be thankful for, we have been forgiven of so much. And as ...read more

    This is a detailed study verse by verse. You will need to analyze, synthesize, and then summarize to fit your need. I have used several different sources to which I give credit.

    I Timothy Chapter 6 I Tim 6:1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. 6:1 All who are under the yoke as bond-servants (slaves) are to regard their own masters as worthy of honor and ...read more

    Heart Trouble

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Jul 15, 2014
     | 3,924 views

    The Scripture teaches that persecution comes from every side to those who live like Jesus. Living for Jesus is radical. It is intrinsically counter-cultural. To walk like Jesus we walk against the flow of our culture.

    Heart Trouble Mark 15:1-20 Jesus before Pilate 1 Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate. 2 Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the ...read more

    Ruth - An Outsider Welcomed In Series

     | 10,438 views

    Logically Ruth should not be in the genealogy of Jesus. As a Moabite she is from a despised nation and the only person seeking to be an example to her is Naomi - a woman who is bitter and angry at God. Yet God moves in mysterious ways to include Ruth.

    You can listen to the full message here:- http://www.nec.org.au/listen-to-a-sermon-series/a-questionable-genealogy/ Message Ruth 1:1-22 “Ruth - an outsider welcomed in” Have you ever heard the saying, “The Lord moves in mysterious ways?” Every year at Christmas Margaret send a box of special ...read more

    Remembrance Sunday, 1989: For us to see the glory of God in the face of death means that we have to move some obstacles and we have to live into the bitterness of what might have been; but then the great "Come Forth" can be heard.

    At Easter it was not hard to think and to sing of the glory of God, was it? Not hard at all to imagine that God’s in His heaven, all’s right with the world. Triumphant music played, pronouncements came forth about victory and power and honor to our God. It was not hard at Easter to dwell on the ...read more

    A Contrast In Heart Attitudes Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 25, 2018
     | 4,585 views

    Dealing with people means adjusting to a variety of responses. Some are just nasty, bitter, agitators; others more open-minded/gracious. Some are open to the Gospel, others become adversaries, while others do not embrace the Gospel but are not hostile.

    A Contrast in Heart Attitudes (Acts 17:1-15) 1. “On a highway in Indiana, about 20 cars were trailing behind a slow driver in the passing lane who wouldn’t change lanes. When Indiana State Trooper Sgt. Stephen Wheeles noticed the line of traffic, he decided to do something about it. “Wheeles, … in ...read more

    The Hard Work Of Trust

    God teaches us to trust in him and in his Son our Saviour. God tells us that anxious care and bitter sighing won’t help. Discontentment will get us nowhere, but only humble trust and steadfast faith.

    Have you ever felt like complaining against the LORD? Maybe you’ve prayed and prayed, but the answer that you wanted hasn’t come. Or you don’t like what God has brought into your life: lots of disappointment, lots of frustration. Or maybe you look at all the wickedness in the world, and you fear ...read more

    Praising God At The Dung Gate

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 26, 2018
     | 9,803 views

    Sometimes God allows us to experience bitter trials. The crowning grace is when we can praise God -- in spite of or even for -- the trial. That's what Nehemiah did when he went to praise God at the Dung Gate!

    PRAISING GOD AT THE DUNG GATE Neh. 12:27-43 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A kindly old preacher married a couple and as he did, told the groom, “Son, God bless you. You’re at the end of all your troubles.” 2. A year later, the groom returned and said, “What a year I’ve gone through! It was ...read more
