Sermons on Unjust:

The Paths Of Righteousness Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

In every issue of life the believer has only one question to answer to determine the will of God, and that is, what is right and just? Not, what is the majority for, or what is best for the majority, or what is best for me and my group, but what is just?

A study of God's nature as just and righteous leads to the conclusion that one of our popular explanations of things is not true. We have all heard the saying that God loves the sinner but hates the sin. It sounds good and seems to be a helpful way of explaining God's attitude to man. ...read more

A Pool Party

Contributed by Chad Bolfa on Oct 1, 2010

So tonight, I want us to learn some lessons from this pool party, when Jesus heals the disabled man, who had been disabled for thirty-eight years.

Lessons from A Pool Party John 5:1-9 Introduction Let’s suppose that I had in my hand one big lollipop and I heard outside of this window a whole bunch of children playing.

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 38 – We Look At The Beginning Of Complaints – Inheritance Has Been Lost - Chapter 5:1-2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 24, 2025

Pleading with God to remember, is what Jeremiah fell back to, and this persevering prayer is examined. Reproach overtook the people as they lost everything and were despised. Today we see the same in so many African nations where believers suffer for Christ. A touching message.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 38 – WE LOOK AT THE BEGINNING OF COMPLAINTS – INHERITANCE HAS BEEN LOST - CHAPTER 5:1-2 Chapter 4 has ended and we saw some absolutely horrible things that were happening because the people were downtrodden by Babylon and persecuted by the Edomites.

St Anselm Patron Of American Bishops

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 21, 2012

The Church is Incarnational, and must have both a sacred and secular existence, and yet must not become subservient to the state, whether kings or democratically elected tyrants who would make us do evil.

St. Anselm Day April 21, 2011 If today’s lesson from Acts chapter 6 has any historical meaning at all, it is a confirmation that there have always been little fissures forming in the living stones that make up the Church. Early in our history, Greek-speaking converts to Judaism were ...read more

Order Of Respect

Contributed by Paul Kallan on Nov 2, 2002

Respect and Honour are to be earned rather than to be demanded.

The gospel passage Mt 23.1-12 speaks to the hearts of many people, especially, those who feel dominated and oppressed by others. Jesus turns himself harshly against those who try to put themselves up over others and lord over them. He is quite clear of the consequences of a social order that ...read more

Who Can I Hate?

Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 7, 2005

This is about loving our enemies.

Read Matthew 5:43-48. This is yet another hard saying of the Sermon on the Mount. This goes beyond the revenge we looked at last week. Jesus said that we shouldn’t seek revenge. Okay, fine. I’d love to take revenge, but I won’t. Now he says that I have to love them. Isn’t it enough that I ...read more

Don't Give Up On God

Contributed by Jason Patrick on Dec 1, 2001

God appears obscure and enigmatic to us all at times, but as we persevere in our relationship with God we realize that God perseveres toward us also.

“Don’t Give Up on God” / Luke 18:1-8 Proper 24, Year C; Downsville Baptist Church; 21 October 2001 If Jesus is trying to teach us about the importance of persevering in our prayer lives, we wish he would have done it in a less confusing and puzzling manner. Perhaps his parable should have gone ...read more

Our Always True God Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 17, 2011

Should evil be done because God can bring good out of it? No, before God a good end does not justifies an evil means or method. For God is always true & He cannot be faithful to the unrighteous no matter who they are or how they think.

ROMANS 3: 1-8 OUR ALWAYS TRUE GOD Most Jews believed that their possession of the law, circumcision, and an outward profession of relation to God, would provide salvation or acceptance before God for them. Paul has just demonstrated that these securities on which most Jews relied are false or ...read more
