John the Baptist

OF WHOM THE WORLD WAS NOT WORTHY (LK 7:18-35) I had a severe ministerial midlife crisis ten years into full-time ministry. I pondered the meaning, value and effectiveness of what I was doing.

A Faith Worth Fighting For - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Todd Catteau on Apr 26, 2023

Part 2 in a series of sermons from the short and often neglected letter of Jude. Jude reveals the nature of the false teaching and the character of the false teachers.

Open back up to Jude. Last week we discussed some introductory matters (vv 1-4). Jude is one of the most neglected books of the Bible because of its brevity, difficult subject matter (judgment of false teachers), and its reference to non-canonical books (we will address that today). Written by ...read more

The Christian God Is A Bit Unusual, Isn't He? Series

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Oct 22, 2024

Crossing yourself may seem a bit weird to Christians who don't do it- a strange ancient (perhaps slightly superstitious) ritual. But at the heart of it are two great biblical truths - perhaps the two greatest truthes of all.

Coincidence, Or God At Work?

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jun 28, 2023

God has worked behind the scenes many times that people say are "just coincidences." Someone has defined “coincidence” as “a miracle for which God chooses to remain anonymous.” I'm convinced that can be seen in the Book of Esther!

Hope In A Hopeless World
