    "Speaking Truth To Power" Series

    Contributed by Denis O'callaghan Ph.d. ,th.d., D.d., D. Phil. on Sep 21, 2012

    “All power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely..."

    “Speaking truth to power” Saint of God, We are taking our time reexamining the historical Jesus in the light of His life and sayings. What did He really mean? And what should we make of the fact that millions around the world have died for this man who called Himself “the ...read more

    The Greatest

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,254 views

    The analogy of the child being the greatest in God’s Kingdom was completely contrary to the prevailing culture then and now. Imagine how His disciples must have reacted to Jesus then and how indifferent it is even today.

    Opening illustration: If God was taking resumes, what would you put on yours? In other words, what makes a good Christian? What would really impress them when you arrive in heaven? Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more

    Hell And The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Ron Tuit on Jan 18, 2014
     | 5,552 views

    People feel "uncomfortable" about the topic of "Hell", but avoiding it will not change what Jesus taught about Hell; the Gospel frees people from the threat of Hell.

    “A Four-Letter Word and the Gospel” or “Hell and the Gospel” Matt. 18:1-9, 25:29-46 Recently someone told me that I talk too much about sin. IF I am guilty of that accusation, I can justify my actions: SIN is the reason for millions of people spending their eternities in ...read more

    Disciples Contend For Greatness

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 14, 2012

    There never was a greater pattern for humility than Jesus, and there was never a greater preacher of it, than Jesus. On several occasions, He had talked to his disciples and followers about it. I wonder, is there a bit of worldly ambition present in these

    Disciples Contend For Greatness

     | 4,902 views

    I wonder, is there a bit of worldly ambition present in these men that He had called to be His disciples? I believe they may have been doing a bit of bragging among themselves, and now they come to Jesus to see who He thinks is the greatest disciple.

    Capernaum (53.1) Disciples Contend for Greatness Matthew 18:1-10 A LITTLE CHILD BECOMES AN OBJECT LESSON: At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

    God's way of measuring greatness differs greatly from ours. God measures with love and service and not accumulation, accomplishment and attainment"

    Matthew 18:1-9 “Measuring Greatness” INTRODUCTION For millennia the Season of Lent has been a time for Christians to reflect on their relationship with God and on Jesus’ call to discipleship, in anticipation of Easter. These forty days preceding Easter were first used as a ...read more

    One Is The Loveliest Number

     | 8,003 views

    Proper 18 (a) By nature we focus on ourselves, trying to be the greatest, to be Number One. But that leads to separation and loneliness. Christ has redeemed us, that we may be united with the Father and with each other. Therefore we live in love.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “One is the loveliest number” Our gospel reading today is in three parts. It opens with the disciples asking Jesus, yet again, who will be ...read more

    Born Again To See And Conquer!

    Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Mar 7, 2015
     | 4,701 views

    It's not the wise and sophisticated intellectuals admired and looked up to in the world, who are foremost in the kingdom. We need to be born again as a little child into the Kingdom of God, relying on Him always!

    At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the ...read more

    Childlike, But Not Childish

     | 9,548 views

    Jesus did not mean that we need to act like children, but to show a few good childlike traits that can help us draw nearer to God.

    Matt. 18:1-5 In the gospels, the apostles were always wondering among themselves who would be the greatest in the kingdom of God. They would argue amongst themselves because they wanted the places of honor In Mark 9 and 10 we see two examples we’ll take note of. Mark 9:33-34 (NKJV) 33 Then ...read more

    A Biblical understanding of Stewardship: God gives generously (faith, salvation, eternal life, forgiveness, etc) and by God's Holy Spirit, we may also give generously.

    Grace, mercy, peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Today is Stewardship Sunday. Today is the day that, and let me be straight forward with you, today is the day that we talk about money. About giving, about generosity. But I’m not going to try and guilt you ...read more

    Kingdom Values

    The values of the kingdom of Heaven are really different from the values of the world. And the greatest value of God's kingdom is really counter-culture, even though the culture gives lip service to it.

    Passage: Matthew 18:1-9 Intro: Growing up in the 1960’s, we learned the meaning of “counter-culture” 1. whole group of people called hippies who marched to a new set of values. 2. they called it “the new morality”, which Christians said was just “the old ...read more

    The Way Of Jesus #1: I Have Begun Following Jesus...

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jan 8, 2017
     | 6,090 views

    The Way of Jesus is an initiative of my denomination, Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada. As prep, we're doing a 7-part series. The first message is on the first marker of the Way of Jesus: I have begun to follow Jesus, depending on the God's Spirit.

    The Way of Jesus #1 - “I have begun following Jesus, and am depending on the Spirit of Jesus in my journey”. - January 8, 2017 It's the new year, still, but I don't want to talk about New Year's resolutions.

    An Altered Gospel Is Creeping Into The Church

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 1, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,860 views

    There are far too many people standing in the pulpit who are teaching false doctrine. What we’re seeing in the Church today was prophesied more than 50 years ago. This message looks at a portion of that prophecy.

    In February, I saw a short videoclip of a young, charismatic pastor preaching to members of his congregation. I want you to listen to what he said. “I don’t beat nobody up for smoking, drinking and having sex and doing all that, not because I did it, but because I can relate. I can relate. If you ...read more

    “If my people who are called by name humble themselves...."

    Just for a little while, I want you think with me on this thought,” G.O.A.T: Greatest of All Time”. When I hear the words, “Greatest of All Time”, I think of Muhammad Ali, when he was first Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. after beating Sonny Liston at Miami Beach back in 1964. That’s when Clay said ...read more
