     | 624 views

    When Jesus was challenged to name His authority to teach, he exposed His interlocutors as incapable of assessing His answer even were He to deign give it.

    “When [Jesus] entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, ‘By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?’ Jesus answered them, ‘I also will ask you one question, and if you tell me the answer, then ...read more

  • Lesson 7: Look Out For The Culture Of Celebrity Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 25, 2010
     | 2,477 views

    Is there such a thing as the celebrity pastor? Is that a good or bad thing? How should I look at a church to make sure I will be fed as a believer?

    As we’ve seen in looking at the problems of the Corinthian church, the members of this congregation had expended a great deal of energy putting certain leaders up on pedestals and then aligning themselves with that leader and claiming their leader was better than theirs. In the first part ...read more

    While John was at the peak of his career, Jesus appeared on the scene and the crowds, who had once streamed out of the villages to follow John, began to follow Jesus instead. As John watched them go, his only response was, “He must become greater, I must

  • The Trial Of Our Christian Faith

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 10, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,255 views

    When we talk to the genuinely curious, we show God’s love. We show that we want to be with God and want others to be with him. We will love the things and people that he loves. We will hate the things and people that he hates. We will love others.

    The reading we heard from John 5:30-47 a few minutes ago takes place during a “trial”, but it was not held in a courtroom. Jesus had just healed the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethsaida, and the healing took place on the Jewish Sabbath. The Jews had strict rules about what could and ...read more

    Abraham and David justified by faith

    This chapter is pivotal in establishing that justification is by God’s grace through faith alone. Verses 1-8 demonstrate that justification is a gift and cannot be earned by works. Verses 9-12 argue that since Abraham was justified before he went circumcised, circumcision is not a basis of ...read more

    Because Jesus rose from the dead – so will we. We can look our ancient enemy death, straight in the eye and say, I’m not scared of you. Christians don’t stay in their tombs when they die. Neither are they meant to live in tombs while they are alive.

    Word Count: 2604 This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 20th April 2014 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). Summary: Because Jesus rose from the dead – so will we. We can look our ancient enemy death, ...read more

  • Offensive Nature Series

    The culture has problems with all kinds of authority. They question when anyone finds authority in the Bible and are offended when anyone else does.

    Offensive Nature Today we are going to examine another of the many problems our culture has with Christianity. There are a lot of intelligent and well educated people that have firm opinions about people/Christians that claim the Bible as the central truth of faith. Perhaps I need to be ...read more

     | 12,955 views

    Jesus' 'Great Commission' applies to all; we must get up and get out and share our faith with the help and strength of God so that the number in 'the great cloud of witnesses' can increase and morality and behaviour in society be improved in ways that pol

    Hebrews 12: 1 Sermon: Witnesses and witnessing According to the Bible we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses.

    Most Christians believe because their parents did and they have since birth. But what reason can we give to those who are not already convinced?
