Seeking A Love Affair With Jesus

Contributed by Ian Johnson on Nov 16, 2005

When people drink wine they become influenced by it in a bad way. We need the wine of God! Which is not wine in the natural but indeed the spirit of God.

Deep Hunger for God is difficult to put into words, Even when we come to a place where we can express our heart before God, the words can take us by surprise. The Psalmist used beautiful words to reflect a heart response to God PSALM 42:1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so I long ...read more

"I Thirst" Series

Contributed by Kevin Cummins on Jun 9, 2003

"I thirst" is a statement from the cross that was only recorded by John in his gospel. I believe there was at least three reasons why God inspired to John to record that statment. This sermons looks at those three reasons.

Last week our fourth statement from the cross that we looked at was perhaps the most agonizing statement of all. I believe as Christ took on the sins of the world, that sin that was upon Him separated Him from His Father and in that time of spiritual agony He cried out, “My God, my God, why ...read more

A Question From A Lawyer

Contributed by James May on May 14, 2008

This sermon parallels the acts of the Good Samaritan to the provisions of Jesus Christ for the sin-sick soul, and then puts each us into that same position as well.

Many of our experiences with lawyers have been, how shall I say it: Less than positive. I rank them right up there with going to the dentist. Now I ...read more

Let's Not Drink To This Series

Contributed by Tim White on Mar 11, 2013

Lot's (Abraham's nephew) ultimate downfall in his spiral descension ended up with the deception of alcohol.

Some decisions cost us more than we ever want to pay. This is true with Lot, but he was a slow learner. I can identify with him on that. I am a slow learner when it comes to some things. Perhaps we all are. Sometimes I get a question: Is it a sin to drink in moderation? There are many sides to ...read more

The Best Is Yet To Come!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 22, 2012

There are similarities between the start of John's gospel and Genesis, culminating with water into wine on the 7th day (see full text for explanation). I believe this miraculous sign reveals the glory of Jesus and says the best is yet to come.

Christ Church - the best is yet to come! John’s gospel focuses upon signs that pointed to, and revealed the identity and glory of Jesus (2:11); and towards the end of his gospel John states why he wrote his book: ‘Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, ...read more

Jesus' First Miracle Series

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019

“This just doesn’t seem to make much sense.” How many times do you think the people there for Jesus' first miracle asked that question? This event in the life of Jesus confirms exactly who Jesus was and how God works – amazing solutions that we would have never expected.

One of the things you’ll find for each of them is the famous “First day of school” picture. Those pictures are kind of fun to look at and ...read more
