     | 2,078 views

    At Christmas, we think about the shepherds, the Magi, the trip of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, and the murderous plots of King Herod, but we overlook all HE, the Holy Spirit, does.

    THE HOLY SPIRIT & CHRISTMAS INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Two Aggies moved to a northern Canadian island. At Christmas they boarded a ferry off the island and went deep into the woods on the mainland, searching for a Christmas tree. 2. After hours of subzero temperatures and a few close ...read more

    In Acts 6, problems arise threatening to unravel the close-knit Christian community. This sermon unpacks the situation, the shepherd's response, and the servant's duties.

    Sermon # 36- Privileges Of A Child Of God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 16, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 401 views

    The greatest privilege to anyone who puts their faith is Jesus is that we become sons and daughters of the Most High God. As children of God we approach God with the confidence that we can pray to Him and draw near to Him knowing that He is merciful and gracious to us.

    Today’s meditation is based on Galatians 3:26, “It is through faith that all of you are God's children in union with Christ Jesus.” (GNB) The above mentioned verse explains to us that everyone who has put their faith in Jesus Christ are children of God. We have the blessed privilege of being ...read more

    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,711 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more

    Jephthah = Rejection – Victory – And Disaster - All In The One Cup - Part 1 Series

     | 2,693 views

    Illegitimate, rejected, expelled, Jephthah became a recognised warrior. The ones who ill-treated him crawled to him for help against the Ammonites who were invading the country. There is much of human nature playing out in this account. We examine that. PART 1 of two parts.

    JEPHTHAH = REJECTION – VICTORY – AND DISASTER - ALL IN THE ONE CUP - PART 1 There is a lot of scripture in this message. I have put that in the message for SERMONCENTRAL as it is easier to read in text. THE INTRODUCTION – LEADERLESS IN A DISMAL TIME {{Judges 10:17-18 Then the sons of Ammon ...read more

    Four times in the Christmas Story we encounter fearful people of God: Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds. In all cases, they are comforted by God’s angels. And they are told, “fear not”.

     | 5,109 views

    We can very easily get very judgmental of the wandering sheep. These people make bad choices and get into trouble. But let's see how the Great Shepherd views these wanderers.

    Jesus is Good News for you in the ’hustle and bustle’ of life and preparations for Christmas. He is also Good News for people going about their ordinary everyday business, like he was for the shepherds.

    A man named Charles Tucker decided recently that with all the ‘hustle and bustle’, it would be good to remember why Christmas is a good idea.

    How To Spread The Good News Of The Gospel

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 17, 2015
     | 5,136 views

    We are to be good shepherds, servant leaders whose job description includes leading others to God. God empowers us as leaders and as followers to build up, to influence and to persuade others.

    When we spread the good news of the Gospel, we can expect to face opposition. The apostle Paul was no exception. He boldly preached the Gospel to the Thessalonians in spite of suffering and mistreatment. First Thessalonians 2:1-8 is a model for all Christians to follow, especially when they are ...read more

    Jesus our Good Shepherd reminds us that we have other sheep that are not yet part of the fold. It has been said that these Greeks were some of those “other sheep.”

    The process for Israel's salvation is explained in Zechariah 13:7-9. The substitutionary death the Good Shepherd is essential for our salvation as well. This is a powerful text for preaching Christ!

    Intro In our previous studies we have seen the glorious victory God gives Israel at the Battle of Armageddon. We have seen the national conversion that occurs at the end of the Tribulation period. Wonderful things will happen “on that day.”i But there was a price to pay for that to happen.
