Sermons

In this Offertory Message we will consider scriptures that help to clarify how generous God is with His people, and how little He requires of us. Let’s use this Feast of Tabernacles and Last Great Day as a time to deepen our commitment to our Creator with every aspect of our lives.

How much do we consider respect to be an important quality for a Christian?
Does God want us to be respectful and if so, how?

True comprehensive external peace throughout the world is not possible today. But for the few who are called by God today, at least inner peace is possible. If you follow God’s Word and do what He commands you. Because then we can already have at least inner peace, namely the peace of Jesus Christ in us today.

Imagine how different the world could be if people greeted each day by telling God that we are here to do whatever he requires of us. We would live with the awareness that each moment is time that we can honor God or alienate Him. In this Split Sermon we will consider various scriptures that will assist our understanding of the need to serve God with our very lives and with all that we do each day.

We as Christians are being distracted in this world by so many things. That’s why it is so important to keep beeing focused on the right Goal.

This first part of a two-part series looks at five things that seem to be unbelievable in terms that they are inconceivable, beyond belief or so great or extreme as to be really difficult to come to terms with.   We can believe these things because God has given us His Holy Spirit of understanding.  These are absolutely mind boggling – unbelievable to those outside the church – because they are out of the realm of man’s capabilities!

The last six commandments show and demonstrate how to love our fellow man/woman.

It’s been said that patience is a virtue. Holding on to a great future is worth the wait. 

The beginning of the thousand-year reign of the Kingdom of God over the earth will take place in the midst of unparalleled disaster! Biblical prophecies—warnings of global destruction and near extinction of all life will have taken place! And—Jesus Christ will have returned!

Being human brings along with it the experience of pain, sickness, and various kinds of suffering, including emotional trauma. God promises healing to put an end to suffering and pain. What can we learn about God’s healing in our lives today, and in the age to come?

The right attitude should be expressed by our actions and when we apply the “beatitudes” stated in Matthew 5, we can expect to be blessed.

In this world of false identification, there is a battle between truth and error. Only one will win at the end.

Since the moment of being called to the truth and eventually taking that necessary step to get baptized, how have we grown since? How have we learned along the way up to this point and how can we overcome sin, by learning from our mistakes, which will ultimately bring us to perfection?

What are we striving for and working towards? In this message, we will be looking at several examples of faithful servants in the Bible whose hopes were looking towards the future resurrection.

Early in WW1 there was a moment of spontaneous cessation of fighting involving soldiers on both sides. This was not sanctioned by commanders, and this led to disciplinary action.  However, the point was made that the soldiers had found the common bond of the desire for peace with their enemies. God hates war and the pain and suffering that comes along with it. In this Sermonette we will read various scriptures that show us what God commands His people to do concerning war.

The word “no” is often seen as a negative word.   For example, the Ten Commandments have been criticised as being negative because they contain a number of “thou shall not” instructions. This sermon looks briefly at a simple list – things that are prevalent in the world today and have been throughout man’s existence for the last 6,000 years but will no longer be allowed in the Kingdom of God.

The beginning of the thousand-year reign of the Kingdom of God over the earth will take place in the midst of unparalleled disaster! Biblical prophecies—warnings of global destruction and near extinction of all life will have taken place! And—Jesus Christ will have returned!

It is a natural response of people to fear loss and take measures to prevent giving up what they have worked so hard to obtain. In the act of making an offering, we apply a value system based on standards that are spiritually motivated rather than materially motivated. In so doing, it is a delight to show God our gratitude through give up a portion of what we have.

Discipline is one of the qualities that really makes an impact in one’s life. Without discipline, we will not be able to accomplish being a Christian. When we show discipline in our lives, it leads to true freedom!
