Sermon On The Tools Of Life

Contributed by William Meakin on Aug 12, 2022

Tools are defined as a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function.

Steve Maraboli, an American author once remarked: “Accept yourself, your strengths, your weaknesses, your truths, and know what tools you have to fulfil your purpose.” Deuteronomy 19:5 confirms: “For instance, a man may go into the forest with his neighbour to cut wood, and as he swings his axe to ...read more

Topic: Winning your battle against the enemy By Ptr.

Hope Shines Through Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 1, 2022

Out of the most desperate situations God is able to do a work of hope. The Messiah is a shoot from the stump of Jesse. From a stump God will raise up a ruler and king. Not just any king but the greatest the world will ever know, the Messiah, King Jesus.

In what way would you describe the almighty power of God? One way would be to picture a forest. A giant comes along something like “Paul Banyan” who walks through swinging a two sided axe and chops down trees with each swing. It would be like swinging a cycle in a field of wheat. The imagery is ...read more

11: 1 Now faith is the [a]assurance of things [b]hoped for, the [c]conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the men (AND WOMEN) of old [d]gained approval. 3 By faith we understand that the [e]worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are ...read more

The Prophecy In The Upper Room

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 19, 2022

Questions abound as to whether the Lord Jesus was referring to the Rapture in John 14:1-3 and later taught by the apostle Paul in his letters to the churches at Corinth and Thessalonia. It is an issue worth examining.

The Synoptic Gospels, the writings of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, with their similarities in content and narrative all present the apocalyptic teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ as He met with His disciples across from the city of Jerusalem upon the Mount of Olives. Each Gospel tells of troubling ...read more

Responding To Disappointments: A Star And A Stable (Epiphany)

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020

Difficulties are part of life, how we respond is what makes the difference. Joseph and Mary faced the difficulty of being refugees in the land of Egypt in order to save the child Jesus from Herod. The "ah ha" moment is when we realize God is with us no matter where we find ourselves.

Stars and a Stable: Responding to Disappointments One of my closest friends loves UGA! He’s a graduate and a dedicated football loyalist. Now let’s not question his Christianity just yet. He has a saying, "When I die, make sure you chant the Eucharist at my funeral mass. And make sure the ...read more

John and I have several different fruiting trees in our backyard – 2 orange, 1 lemon, 1 plum, 1 prune and 1 dead cherry tree (we know its dead because there are no leaves and no fruit).

Holiness Of God

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 28, 2024

Just like sun, around God there is a layer or atmosphere called Holiness. All the natures and attributes of God, such as love, mercy, power, truth, Omniscience, Omnipotence etc., are present in this atmosphere called Holiness.

The sun gives light to the earth. Sunlight is the source of life, light and temperature on earth. To illuminate the earth, sunlight travels 147.15 million kilometers from the sun. The earth’s temperature ranges from 5 to 55 °C on sunny days. Around 5000 degrees Celsius is the average ...read more

Jesus In Genesis

There are hints of Jesus throughout the entirety of Genesis and the New Testament names Him as Creator. Let's examine hints of Jesus in Genesis.

There are hints of Jesus throughout the entirety of Genesis and the New Testament names Him as Creator. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Transformed! Series

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Feb 17, 2023

From the background of Free Methodist Doctrine (Wesleyan-Arminian), we are called to be "transfigured" as Jesus by allowing the Holy Spirit to change us from the "inside-out" to live a holy and sanctified life.

IT IS CLEAR FROM SCRIPTURE THAT THE CHURCH IS OF GOD AND FOR PEOPLE. THE BIBLICAL CONCEPT OF THE CHURCH IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE FREE MEHTODIST CHURCH STATES: “THE CHURCH IS THE ORGANIC, CORPORATE INSTRUMENT GOD HAS CHOSEN TO REMAKE PEOPLE AND SOCIETY. IT HAS A MISSION OF HOLY LOVE. THE CHURCH ...read more

Uriah’s Be Careful

Contributed by Samuel M on Jun 24, 2024

Uriah blindly trusted David because of his reputation and position, without discerning his intentions and motives. Uriah worked hard and had a good reputation at work, yet he died as a result of David's grave sin. Uriah’s only mistake was blindly believing David.

And David wrote in the letter, saying, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the [c]hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.” 2 Samuel 11:15 When a man of God is living in sin, he is more dangerous than Satan. Run away from a man of God who is living in sin; he is ...read more

Genesis Chapter Twenty-Two Series

Sermon On Life Is A Circus

Contributed by William Meakin on Apr 19, 2023

A circus has misleadingly been attributed as a “metaphor for life.”

Laura Vanderkam, an American author once remarked: “The more times I attend the circus, the more I am struck how inaccurate the life-is-a-circus metaphor is. When people say that life is a circus, they mean chaos. Too much going on, things flying everywhere. The circus is nothing like that. The ...read more

How Does The Holy Spirit Work In Me?

Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on May 2, 2023

Sometimes Christians wonder if they have the Holy Spirit because they have not had some overt experience or do not speak in tongues or have an outward miraculous gift. This sermon is for those believers.

The Spirit's Work and Mind Intro: A. Luke writes a gospel account of the life of Jesus, and then gives us the sequel, the early beginning of the church. It is in the book of Acts we are introduced to the Holy Spirit at work guiding the church leaders and be at work in all disciples of ...read more
