    Sermon # 6 - No Need To Fear Death Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 6, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 900 views

    Man’s greatest fear is the fear of death, and that’s what gripped everyone aboard the ship that Jonah travelled. Learn how Jesus gives us hope beyond the grave. Also we as individuals and the church we must wake up to fulfill God's purposes in our life time.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, Then the seamen were afraid, and each man cried to his god. (AFV) As we continue this series on how the life of Jonah can be related to the church today, I believe that many of you are blessed through these meditations. The seamen on the ship were filled with dread when the ...read more

    What to do when we are waiting on the Lord.

    You may have heard the expression “Hurry up and wait,” if you served in the military you certainly have heard it and seen it. Thirteen years in the U.S. Navy I have seen it first hand. Wake you up at the crack of dawn just to sit and wait for an hour or more to get your orders for the ...read more

     | 3,733 views

    The plan of God for all of us, especially clergy, is a call to service and understanding, not tyranny.

    Solemnity of the Epiphany 2012 Diaconate Vocation Spirit of the Liturgy “Where is the newborn king of the Jews?” the Magi said to Herod. It was a straightforward question to the wrong guy. There are times to be subtle and times to be blunt. I recall many years ago when I was a sales ...read more

    This message focuses on Paul’s statement that we are to "no longer be children" and what that implies for the believer.

    I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid; there’s a million toys at Toys R Us that I can play with! From bikes to trains to video games it’s the biggest toy store there is!

    We,like Nicodemus, must gaze at that the uplifted Christ if we would be drawn to him and have the promise of "eternal life."

    THE LIFTED UP CHRIST John 3:9-15 We were recently discussing I Corinthians 1:23- “We preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks.” Our lesson today may be the beginning of that attitude of Jews in regard to Jesus.

    What is faith?

    Tonight I want to talk about this thing called faith! I mean, what the heck is it? We hear it talked about all the time. Married couples are supposed to remain faithful.

    What God is looking for is some good old Holy Ghost agitators, someone that is going to help the Spirit of God to move in our life, the life of the church, and the life of God’s people.

    I want to say thank’s be to God, that there is still near the sheep a house of mercy, and grace and a pool that supplies every need, like Grace: which keeping from me what I don’t deserve and Mercy which allows me to get what I do deserve. ??As we look at this passage, we see that there was a ...read more

    Is God Calling You?

    Contributed by Ezekiel Ette on Jan 14, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,073 views

    We all were called to serve God through the works of our hands and our intellect. No matter what we do, we are responding to our calling. God still calls each of us but we do not know how to receive God's message because we do not recognize the call.

    The idea of calling or vocation outside of the priesthood is a protestant idea that came with the reformation. It was believed then, as at now, that we are called to different vocations in life and whatever we do is a result of our obedience to a divine plan. Therefore the carpenter was in service ...read more
