    Stumbing Along

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 1,405 views

    Unexamined assumptions can cause us to stumble over things we don't even notice.

    It’s a little disconcerting, sitting down to write a sermon on a passage that you’ve already preached on twice, to find that neither time did you say what you’d planned to say. Of course, only preachers have that problem... Maybe only 60-something preachers have that problem. But more generally, ...read more

    Gone Fishing

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 17, 2023
     | 2,064 views

    What did the disciples do after Jesus' miraculous resurrection? They went fishing! But this passage teaches us that it’s okay to get on with our lives while waiting for Jesus to make it clear what it is we are to do for him.

    I’ll bet not one of you can tell me exactly what happened to the disciples after that first Easter morning, and in what order. And it’s not surprising. I would have had a hard time putting together a chronology of events if I hadn’t had to preach on the subject, and even then there’s a little ...read more

    I believe you may be healed by standing on God? s Word; check it out for yourself starting by analysing Isaiah 53 and 1 Peter 2: 24.

    A very important scripture in healing has to be Isaiah 53. These words were prophesied about 2,700 years ago. Verse 1 " Who hath believed our report and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? " According to a person I know who reads Hebrew and understands the same, he says Isaiah 53: 1 sets the ...read more

    Jesus And Candy Canes Series

    Contributed by James Chandler on Dec 8, 2003
    based on 51 ratings
     | 8,639 views

    This message uses a simple candy cane to communicate the gospel and shows how a symbol like this can be used to evangelize others.

    According to legend there was a candy maker who wanted to invent a candy that was a witness to Christ. First of all, he used a hard candy because Christ is the rock of ages. This hard candy was shaped so that it would resemble a “J” for Jesus or, turned upside down, a shepherd’s staff. He made it ...read more

    Finding the Source of True Peace John 14:27 We’ve all had times of transition and turmoil – those times when our world is seemingly turned upside down.

    On The Road With Jesus

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 28, 2006
     | 2,731 views

    Jesus taught the disciples but they did not always understand! This short homily encourages listeners to ask questions; it also reminds us that God knows about everything we do; and that is both comforting and challenging.

    Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin! Of course, it is always likely that God’s word will make us uncomfortable! When we turn to God’s word, seeking the voice of God, there is always plenty to hear; and this short Bible event is packed full of God’s wisdom, and God’s call to us. Jesus ...read more

    Do we listen to the voice of God in our hearts telling us what we must do in order to free up His grace?

    Tuesday of the 5th Week of Lent 2020 You Still Don’t Get It When I was growing up and first encountering the Bible stories, the years after the departure from Egypt were characterized as “forty years they wandered in the desert.” So I pictured the Hebrew people churning around the Sinai peninsula ...read more

    We are able to understand the bigger picture of God’s plans only after we come out of the wilderness.

    He speaks to you in the wilderness… The Bible says, “In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea” (Matthew 3:1). Everything seemed to be hunky dory for a young man who had a great job, great time in a great city. His world came crashing down when ...read more
