    The tenth chapter of Matthew tells of Jesus’ sending the twelve disciples to the lost house of Israel.

    He tells them, in verse 16, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves...” In verses 17-27 Jesus warned the twelve disciples that they might as well expect the same treatment that He had received. Then He explained in verse 24, “The disciple is not above his master, nor the ...read more

    What Does It Feel Like To Know Jesus Is Alive.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Apr 13, 2023
     | 1,370 views

    Because Jesus rose from the dead – so will we … but before we go, we are changed into something he wants us to be. He wants us to look forward to dead, and our future life with him.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 9th April 2023 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, ...read more

    If You Want Joy

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 13, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,764 views

    Genuine joy comes after we do what Christ bids us do, and is grounded in our relationship to Him. In fact, the real issue is not our joy but His.

    If you want joy! What a ridiculous premise! Of course you want joy. Of course we want to be happy. Of course all of us want to feel deep satisfaction with life. We want joy. That's just self-evident. The trouble is, we don't know how to get that joy. We don't understand where joy comes from, how ...read more

     | 6,107 views

    Sometimes all we know are "NO’s". We learn to live within the limis of can-not, must-not, will-not, and have-not. We really need a "YES"! Here’s the best YES of all.

    All I want for Christmas is JESUS! 2 Corinthians 1:20 John 1:14 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (NIV) One of the first words we know is “NO”! From the time we ...read more

    In the old west they had a saying, wanted dead or alive, Jesus says the same thing in the book of Revelation!

    Wanted: Dead or Alive! Revelation Revelation 3, Acts 2:42 - 47 As we look in the Book of Revelation we find that God would rather a church be dead or alive, than lukewarm. I believe that gives you and I a choice! Do we want to strive to be alive, or do we want to wither away and die, given that ...read more

     | 5,542 views

    The followers of Christ have been such a powerful force for good in this world. No wonder the prince of darkness --that great dragon-- did not want the Christ-child to live!

    "No wonder the dragon wanted to kill the Christ-child!" (Simple transcript of Harold Miller’s sermon December 6, 1998, Corning NY) "A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant ...read more

    Jesus is the ultimate name -- the only name through which there is salvation.

    Well, as you’re aware by now my name is Brad. Although, that is not the whole truth. Brad is actually a shortened form of Bradley. That’s what my parents named me -- Bradley. Bradley is a name from the British Isles that means broad meadow -- perhaps a commentary on girth. Now, I wish that I could ...read more

    I Have Food That You Know Nothing About

    Contributed by Ewen Huffman on Oct 4, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,477 views

    What is the food that our soul craves? That will reward, feed and satify us? It is ’doing the Father’s will’. It is seeing others find faith in Jesus.

    "I have food that you know nothing about" John 4:27-42, Luke 9:57-10:1. You know- the Gracious Father loves us, accepts us, wants us - and one thing is necessary: that we let this in and have it - But His love doesn’t end there. Neither does His plan. It goes beyoned that… us… is greater than ...read more

    Jesus desires that people come to Him for who He is. He is the type of Person you want to be in your life.

    Crime investigation stories fascinates me. I believe that those who do this kind of job are very clever people. They spend hours, weeks, and months profiling their suspect. They study all possible movements of their suspect, the face, the body language, the voice, etc. before making an arrest. ...read more

    Don't Want To Be A Pharisee Series

     | 39,769 views

    Jesus despised the Pharisees. But why? These guys were simply trying to please God by honoring His rules. What was it about them that angered God so much and how do we avoid becoming like them?

    About the worst thing you can call somebody in Church is to say they are a “Pharisee”. The Pharisees were THE “bad guys” in scripture and seemed to always be the main group that Jesus singled out as examples of who His followers were NOT to be like. I don’t want to be ...read more
