    Let Me Die The Death Of The Upright!

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 17, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 884 views

    Surprised by the intervention of God, Balaam pronounces one of the great aspirations of all who know and worship the Lord God.

    “Who can count the dust of Jacob. or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright, and let my end be like his!” [1] King Frederick the Great of Prussia is reported to have once asked his physician to provide proof for the existence of God. The physician is said to have ...read more

    The Impact Of One Friend

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 9, 2023

     | 1,601 views

    We Christians are commanded to love one another. But what does such love look like? If we love one another, what practical impact will that love have on us as a congregation?

    “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; ...read more

    God Is Not A God Of Confusion

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 8, 2023
     | 1,280 views

    We must not imagine that the confusion roiling western culture is because of God. Having rejected the Lord, civilization is confused, and without hope of being set right without God's merciful intervention.

    “God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” [1] We live in a world that is increasingly confused—confused about society, confused about the role of government, confused about the sexes, confused about God. And I could undoubtedly go on about the confusion that reigns in our world. Confusion ...read more

    The Spiritual Nature Of Work

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 30, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,517 views

    A message for the Labour Day weekend, emphasising that the work we perform and the manner in which we work reflect our understanding of God.

    “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” [1] The necessity of going to work Monday morning despite being exhausted from the “rest and relaxation” pursued ...read more

    A Serious Inquiry Into The Role Of The Under Shepherd Of The Church"

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 25, 2023
     | 781 views

    The message is an examination of the qualifications that must be evident in the life of one appointed to eldership.

    “The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, ...read more

    Complaints Against A Gracious God

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 17, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,217 views

    It is a vain and futile thing to complain against God Who is gracious. A study of the descent of Israel into complaining serves to warn us against charging God with error.

    “They sinned still more against [God], rebelling against the Most High in the desert. They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved. They spoke against God, saying, 'Can God spread a table in the wilderness? He struck the rock so that water gushed out and streams ...read more

    In These Last Days

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 8, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,807 views

    The Word provides a description of life in the "last days." We are forewarned so that we can continue to live godly lives even as the world grows dark.

    “Understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

    Do You Want To Go Away?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 5, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,114 views

    As the message delivered by Jesus transitions for followers to embrace Him as Master, many chose to leave. The Lord questioned His disciples, asking, "Do you want to go away as well?" Peter answered for all who will follow the Saviour, asking, "Lord, to whom shall we go?"

    “Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘Do you want to go away as well?’ Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.’” [1] Christ will never compel anyone to remain as one who is counted among the faithful. If a person is determined to “quit” pretending that ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 882 views

    Jesus came to give His life as a sacrifice for fallen mankind. He will reign as King, but that reign awaits His return.

    “When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, ‘This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!’ “Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.” [1] Few of the miracles Jesus performed had ...read more

    When You Don't Know What To Ask Him To Do...

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,501 views

    If Jesus was to appear before you, asking you what you want Him to do for you, what would you say? The message is intended to be a challenge for us to boldly ask the Master for that one thing that weighs our hearts.

    “As [Jesus and His disciples] went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him. And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, ‘Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!’ The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, ...read more

    Common Tools; Uncommon Tasks

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,699 views

    God calls His people to serve now. He delights to use us with what we have, and not after some long, extended preparation in the distant future.

    “Moses answered [the LORD], ‘But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, “The LORD did not appear to you.”’ The LORD said to him, ‘What is that in your hand?’ He said, ‘A staff.’ And he said, ‘Throw it on the ground.’ So he threw it on the ground, and it ...read more

     | 1,395 views

    Eventually, all people want to know what God is planning. However, even knowing what God plans does not mean that people will change their behaviour.

    “King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and received him at the third entrance of the temple of the LORD. The king said to Jeremiah, ‘I will ask you a question; hide nothing from me.’ Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, ‘If I tell you, will you not surely put me to death? And if I give you counsel, ...read more

    A Wedding Message

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 5, 2023
     | 703 views

    A message presented at the wedding of a young man who was born during a previous pastorate. The young man, now twenty-five years of age, is a vibrant follower of Christ as is his bride. I was privileged to be invited to share in this special event.

    Would [the parents of the bride], and [the parents of the groom], please stand. You have acknowledged that your children are a heritage from the Lord, and you have faithfully given of yourselves to bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Now, they have come to a time of mature ...read more

    The Rabble Among Us

     | 1,350 views

    Association with a church does not translate to identification with Christ.

    “The rabble that was among them had a strong craving. And the people of Israel also wept again and said, ‘Oh that we had meat to eat! We remember the fish we ate in Egypt that cost nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. But now our strength is dried up, and ...read more

    Why Would You Say "yes?"*

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 16, 2023
     | 1,370 views

    The command God gave Noah made no sense on any level. Studying the account, we can no doubt learn something essential about faith.

    “The earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. And God said to Noah, ‘I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through ...read more
