    An exhortation to forgive the brethren.

    Accuser of the Brethren - Part 2 Last time we discussed four reasons that we must forgive the brethren. First, because of our own past, second because our salvation is all about a new creation without condemnation. Thirdly, we must forgive the brethren because we do not want to take on the ...read more

    Anyone here like Country Music? I can’t figure it out, they claim that Country Music accounts for 30% of the Radio airplay in Halifax, and yet very few people will admit listening to it. I confess I enjoy country music, although I’m a bit of an anomaly because I really enjoy classic country, not ...read more

    This sermon focusses on unity in the Body of Christ.

    "A Relevant Church in an Irreverent World" Matthew 5:17; John 13:34 Introduction: 1. Much attention has been paid in the church in recent days to the issue of change. 2. So much so, that the word change has become a "Fightin' Word," just like in the old Western movies. 3. But the issue of ...read more

    Jesus and the New Covenant: The internalization of the law.

    It feels good to leave the heavy messages of the prophets and come into the sunshine of the New Testament. But the message of the prophets, as well as the rest of the Old Testament, are very important to our understanding of the New Testament. As soon as we begin reading Matthew, the first book ...read more

    Forgiveness In Marriage

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 29, 2000
    based on 171 ratings
     | 14,245 views

    For any marriage to succeed, partners must respond with forgiveness from the very heart of Jesus. Whether it is marital unfaithfulness, mistreatment, or any other reason, forgiveness must reign.

    Second only to our relationship with God, marriage is the single most important relationship that we will ever have. People enter into a marriage with great joy and wonderful expectations of spending the rest of their days with the love of their life. Vows are exchanged, commitments are made, and ...read more

    Lesson 12

    The use of the terms "the law" and "the prophets" indicates that what the Lord is speaking of in these verses is the whole of the Old Testament. In Luke 24:44 Jesus said, "These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in ...read more

    Lesson 13

    To this point in the Lord’s sermon He has taken us through the Beatitudes where we learned that genuine salvation begins when we realize our poorness of spirit and spiritual bankruptcy before God. At that point we begin to mourn over our sinfulness. This mourning leads to a meek humbling of one’s ...read more

    Lesson 14

    Once again we need to be reminded that the Lord is in no way altering or changing the teaching of the Old Testament. It is not the Law per se that is under consideration, but the carnal interpretation of it made by the Pharisees. I. A DISCIPLINE THAT IS DECEITFUL A. The Pharisees Insisted on ...read more

    Even though the subject of divorce is a controversial one, and one that carries with it a great deal of emotion, it is not one on which the Bible is silent. Both the Old and New Testaments mention the subject on various occasions, but putting all the pieces together in hopes of seeing the whole ...read more

    Our sexuality is a good gift from God, to be treasured, protected and enjoyed in the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman.

    Most people in our culture today don’t often associate the word "God" with the word "sex". In fact, for most people, the only thing they think they know about God and sex is that God is against it. Often Christians are thought to be hung up about sex, accused of viewing the human body as dirty and ...read more

    Did you ever get an F in school? I did when I was a freshman in high school because I wanted to play more than study. Thus, at the end of an eight-week term I wound up with an F in biology, F as in Flynn. My parents were furious and promised dire retribution if I didn’t bring that grade up to a ...read more

    Does your heart burn in a good sense?

    Athletes while training speak of feeling the burn. Those of us who are not athletic and have had a past life of alcohol consumption might think of the warmth that spreads over your body after a shot of whiskey as feeling the burn or the sensation as it passes through your throat.
